Hey fellow graphics artist of TTG i'm making this thread because I've been seeing a lot of discouraged people because somebody posted hate. I'm here to admit i'm really not very good at making graphics but i have definitively made a lot of progress just from making things for fun for me its a hobby I've never made any money off of it and have never tried here ill be showing some of my first work and some of my newest if you like good if you don't i don't mind. I would actually prefer if you would say if you don't like it as long as you say why that's how people improve so lets get started.
My First pieces of work:
This is the very first desktop background i made i didnt even have photoshop it was made in a in browser image editor

i soon moved in to photoshop using photoshop elements 7 and made things like this:

Soon i learned that anyone that was popular had cinema 4d so i downloaded it and followed a tutorial to make this(my very first piece of work in c4d):

i made around 15 backgrounds using only cinema 4d just to see some of the features (although i barely scratched the surface of this wonderful program):

I proceed to get better:
I dropped Photoshop elements and got CS5 i also learned about GFX packs and found a whole bunch of new goodies i was able to make a few photoshop only backgrounds with Brushes, new fonts, layer styles and textures:

these lasted awhile and i messed around in c4d and photoshop for a few months learning all i could about them,one day i saw someone put there 3d text into photoshop in a speed art and that is what really kick started my progress i was able to make these for a graphics channel i owned on youtube:

My work Today:
I proceeded to make backgrounds like those for several months slowly improving and i have worked my way up to my backgrounds today im ok at youtube backgrounds but i think im best at desktop backgrounds
heres some of my personal work probably my best since i always tweak my work when i get bored:

sure practice does make perfect, but you need to try different styles. You use relatively speaking, the same style of work. No, I am not talking about backgrounds, most of your work is chaotic.

And just so you know, you still have a while to go

my intros are much less impressive sadly i've spent much more time on the still features of cinema 4d and less on the animated side and if its a computer background i may be able to youtube however would be less convenient
