I like it...however (here it comes), it STILL needs to be a bit brighter. All I can see is the red blurs, but not much detail...seriously, just lighten it up a little bit so we can see the textures and blood, not just a gray rectangle with red blurs on it.

as in you cant see it or you like that one better?
Re: ok a second attempt - Anthony - 22-05-2008
Dark is better in my opinion. I would have to say though, get away from that template or whatever and start again
.
Re: ok a second attempt - Pbcrazy - 22-05-2008
why dont you like the template or what dont you like about it?
Re: ok a second attempt - GIAKEN - 22-05-2008
Just stay with the brightness of the first one. The second one has gone into being too bright.
Re: ok a second attempt - shaded - 22-05-2008
Stick with the template you've started. Not because it looks amazing, but I think I remember you saying this is your first or you are new. It's not bad for first starting out. The darker button has a better contrast than the lighter one. Keep going with it. Cause finishing your first GUI, even if it is not the greatest, you'll learn more. Keep posting pics and we'll keep giving feedback until you are a master :mrgreen:
If this is for a fantasy style rpg, I am not a huge fan of the template. It reminds me more of an industrial look. But that is my opinion and that may change for me once I can see it finished.
Re: ok a second attempt - Coke - 22-05-2008
If your going for a Grunge look, try using the font "laundromat 1967"

no its not a fantasy, actually im not even making this for a game or engine, its just for practice unless someone wants it(which i highly doubt) but i was goin for a grunge maybe horror zombie type look to it i guess.

Re: ok a second attempt - shaded - 22-05-2008
Then I think it looks good. I was just used to most people making Fantasy style "stuff".

Try using some blending options to make that button fit in, it could be very usefull
