Graphic/Vector Art

I'm a Graphic Artist, If you don't know what that is, Graphic art is something that you make on Photoshop or Cinema 4D Featuring cool looking effects for a specific purpose (i.e. Team, Website art, Youtube art, etc.)

Here is an example of a basic Graphic i made for fun:

Now the point of this forum is (if you are a graphic artist no matter beginner or expert) I wanna see if anyone on basil can make graphics art. I know I can't be the only one, so if you have some spare time, go ahead and make one and post it on Imgur or some other photo uploading site and link the masterpiece on this forum.

ALSO, since I literally have nothing to make at the moment, I wouldn't mind making some graphics for you guys free of charge Just tell me what you'd like in it (i.e. Color, Specific object, Text, etc.)
[[Keep in mind it has to be very specific]] - [[Also tell me what you're going to use it for (i.e. Computer Background, Normal photo, etc.) This is so i can get the dimensions right before I make it.]]

If I get too many requests (which I most likely wont) I wont be able to make EVERYONE one, just a select amount of people. That is all, try making a graphic art on your own or hit me up with a request on this forum, Thank You! ^~^

Edit: Graphic art doesn't consist of self made drawings (i.e. MS Characters, things made by myself o.o)

Here's a few more graphics i made just to get a little more understanding for graphic art:

[quote=SoIntoYou]@Omegathorion - That looks awesome! The marketplace gif. What software did you use to create that? :O omg, would LOVE to see your UI designs. @ ^ @;[/quote]

I'm using a game engine called [url=http://unity3d.com/]Unity[/url]. The environment was made of 3D models made in [url=http://www.autodesk.com/products/maya/overview]Maya[/url], and the sketchy pencil outline effect is a programming script built for Unity. Then we use stuff like Illustrator to make UI elements, and Photoshop for making 2D textures. Game art is a different world than graphic design, but there are some things that cross over.

@SantanaTV - I was just going to say that about your "gaming"-style art. Personally it's not my style either, but oh well, who cares XD I admire your passion! keep it up, take some good advice (like the one offered by icephoenix !), and I hope that you'll continue to take this interest with you~~

.. like my good buddy @gatotsuwolf should start doin', since he's always WANTED to ~~~ >.< >.< >:C

@Icephoenix21: I understand what you're saying, and your works are great btw but what GFX/Vector Designs are alot more "techy" and it serves a purpose for mostly gaming people, there's different kinds of Graphic art obviously as seen with the comparison between both of our works. But most gaming people want something that looks sort of "stunning" or "epic" as some would say, Though none of mine that I showed were for that matter, except maybe the first one. None of them should be or are going to be published into media such as books or magazines, If I were to make something for that matter of course i'd stop and try to make the readability alot more smoother for others. But the ones I showed were just when I was bored.

@SantanaTV: They shouldn't be hard to read. Why would anyone who's browsing the web or looking through a book/magazine/etc bother to stop and try and figure out what something says unless it's easily readable. Take it as some constructive criticism for future projects. Artistic appeal is secondary to function.

@Icephoenix21: To be honest, most graphic arts you're gonna come across are hard to read, I showed you a few of mine, and i think they look fine. Sorry if you can hardly read it. That's great that you're a graphic designer, if you don't mind, you should put one of your works here, id be glad to see one

@djmaxaaron: I slept all day today o.o i'll be making yours overnight, it should take me like 2 minutes cause its so simple, i might put some more on it, but idk if you'd like that

[quote=SantanaTV]Oh and also guys, not to dissappoint you, I don't draw the pics, i can get a few pics online and basically make "art" out of it, so no requests for me to make your MS character so sorry it's not graphic art.

@djmaxaaron: As for your picture, is all you want a chicken with a blue bg? gotta be more specific cause i'm sure a plain blue background with a chicken isn't something you would want, is it for your desktop bg? or just a reg picture? Does the chicken gotta look a specific way? (i.e. Pixilated, retro-y, realistic) do you want text? does the background have to be a pattern? These are just a few little things I need to get a clear picture in my head to make it.

@Omegathorion: Ahh i see, looks really nice, hope it comes out nicely, are you the only one working on it or is it multiple people?[/quote]

Pixelated, yes just a chicken with a light blue backgroun please.

As a typography nerd/nearly graduated graphic design student...the readability of some of these needs work badly.

the first example that you made is more like a logo :o
when i think of graphic art i think more like illustration stuff like: https://www.behance.net/gallery/20286943/ERA-TAN-SUAVE
but graphic art can count as anything made on the comp, so

I'm not exactly a graphic artist, but I do stuff with game art, which covers technical art, illustration, and sometimes UI. Here's some of the stuff I'm working on for my upcoming game.
