Wow ok, I'd have to say yours is one of the most unique and amazing colouring styles on this site. It's so OMGHOWDIDYOUDOTHAT?! worthy. so, I'm going to have to say, for your whole gallery and probably on behalf of this whole site....




OMGHOWDIDYOUDOTHAT?!


you were not expecting it were you?

well, there we go. you're amazing, keep rocking

ceren <3

dear rav.

your weakness is colouring and you're not creative enough. DUDE i don't even know why you asked for my critique, your everything is like perfect. out of everyone on tda, your colouring style is one of my all time favourites and i've always admired your creativity. you make me insanely jealous.

i think sometimes your texture use makes it look like you've blended a little sloppily though, so perhaps be extra careful when you're using textures near people, like on your snape banner and this banner. i know you said your text is a weakness, but i actually really like it for the most part sometimes your quotes make me squint a bit since they're little, but that could just be my computer since graphics are smaller on my mac than on my pc WHICH IS REALLY ANNOYING AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND. ISN'T A PIXEL A CONSTANT MEASUREMENT? HOW CAN IT BE DIFFERENT SIZES?! i have crazy monitors.

*coughs* anyway, back to YOU. the only place i think your text is a little under par is the title on the first of this set. other than that, i love your use of text. the fonts always seem to work with your style. LOVE THIS! but the text is a bit too small for me to read. this and the one below it, too.

but i have one final big suggestion before i disappear. and that is to MAKE MORE PLEASE. you've got a lot of graphics that are pretty old, and that might be hindering your improvement. i mean, if you don't make graphics that often, it's harder to improve. so make more pleeeease?

anyway, hope that helped a tiny bit? ily and your graphics.

<sub>Professor Dumbledore: I feel like I need to speak with great humility towards you with your new name! Thank you SO much for critiquing, first off! That is a really good point about the appearance of sloppiness - I notice that tends to happen when I make graphics haphazardly instead of being organized and putting layer masks on things. I will be more careful in the future. Haha, sometimes I get addicted to tiny text but I'll keep an eye out for maintaining legibility. Thanks for the critique and sweet words, ily too! I will make more graphics, practice truly does help.

ceren.: Hey! Haha thanks so much! Dude, I'm always so awed by the coloring styles of everyone else on the site, so that makes my day that you liked mine! Thanks for commenting <3

zephyra.: LOL. Thanks for stopping by.

Rica: Thank you so much for your kind words. Seriously, you guys make up the nicest site ever. LOL I'm gonna go to your awesome gallery and chase you back.

Amaranth: aww thanks! I wasn't sure if the animation on that looked smooth or not, so I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting!

afterglow: Haha yeah 2nd is best, so is 1st and 3rd and everything else. Though I have a soft spot for 13. (I am not sure what that is but it fits somehow) Thanks so much for commenting, I'm in awe of all you guys - I love your style so it makes my day, your comment.

cherryberry: First poster! Thanks for commenting! Haha I need to work on icons, I am weak at them but I'm glad you liked them!

Honestly, you guys sincerely made my day when I read your comments. Everyone on this site is unbelievably kind and talented, and you guys encourage me to become a better graphic maker.</sub>

Ravleen your gallery is, without doubt, one of my absolute favourites on the site. And it's like you've been taking talent pills at the moment because everything in here is just perfect. You have such a beautiful and distinctive style

I adore the colouring on this banner, this blend, this blend and that stunning new signature of yours.

Omg, I'm in love with your colouring! It's just SOOOO pretty! Your Golden Temple icons are gorgeous and +this is

Hey Rav, I was just stalking your gallery
the other day because I saw this
in the crit thread and then jumped into your
gallery. XD The name-change threw me, but
I've always been a big fan of all of your stuff.
Your style is so nice! I think my favourite piece is
this! I can't find one thing about
it to disagree about. It's so lovely and well,
every single one of your banners are coloured
so beautifully. The carbon monoxide piece is also
so amazingly done. I'm in awe.
Everything is lovely, text, placement, colouring, etc.

Ok first off i have to say that you fascinate me............. Seriously. You are like some uber gifted alien come to earth to show off how much you rock at ......well, everything!!!!!

I don't know how you did it, but this is so pretty. I love all the soft colouring so much
Once again it is the soft textures/colouring that i love on these icons.

But this blows me away (p.s. is that a map of greece in the blend??)

omg... those golden temple icons are little squares of perfection! Oh, and those new banners... I am so saving everything to my inspiration folder.

You are one of my fave artists, without a doubt

vanessa <3

Your gallery makes me cry, seriously. In a good way and a jealous way. I don't know how you come up with your ideas for placement and general composition and sure as hell don't know how you pull off such coloring, but whatever you're doing is great. Amazing, even. My mind was blown by every piece in here (passive voice ftw). Anyway, before I make even more of a fool of myself, I shall shut up and just gawk some more.

~Beth

Beth: Dude, I love your work, so that means so much..thank you so much!

amour.toujours: you are one of MY favorite artists! Thanks so much (the Golden Temple is such a beautiful place yeah)!

Liam: Heyy! Aw thanks so much. I'm glad you liked that!

Amazing!
I adore your icons!

I adore your coloring. I really liked your tutorial over that 1992 sig. Honestly, it was so well written and easy to follow. And I never knew how to swirl water, so wahoo! lol I'd love more tuts from you! Keep up the good work; I'm jealous of your skills!

Ravleeeeeeeeen!
I can't possibly describe how happy finding your gallery has made me.
Yours is easily the most inspiring and touching galleries of all time.
There's something about the soft way in which intense colors come together seamlessly in all your graphics.
There's something about how serene and calm and yet moving each signature, banner, blend is.
There's something about the way you use colors, textures and additives to create beauty.
You have been an inspiration since I started on this site. And every time I find your gallery I find in it something worth remembering forever.
Like the hedwig (with cream and soft browns) blend you had on top of your previous gallery. Like everything that is in here.
And I can never, possibly capture in words the sheer force with which each graphic in your gallery moves me. The Golden Temple icons, the banners (and that animation!), the signatures, the birds, trees, lovely scenes that I find everywhere in here.
And The final piece, which I'm amazed you've made form scratch, that must have taken work and time (and patience?).
I know it sounds horribly lame but I worship you.
For real.
