I just figured out a great way to use a knockout with dark backgrounds to create awesome neon colors like you see in that pic
Wish I would have figured it out before I was an hour into it
Total time spent: 1:30

Oh yeah, by the way its for a contest hence the website name: what.cd
I'm assuming this is for the wallpaper contest;
It's not really working... at all.
There's too much going on, which confuses me. Wallpapers should be simple and clean, imo. This one is way too rough.
When I read it the first 5 times, before you mentioned what.cd, I read it as "wat ecd"
Most of all, it doesn't really represent what.cd, at least not how I see it. Their web-page, logo (both gazelle and what) are simple, clean and with few colors. I'm 90% sure that something like that is going to win the contest. Protip: blue, white and a little black.

The next one you do will be better now you know the neon colours.
Hmm, I don't think I like it.

yeah I'm not expecting to win. I just saw the contest and had PS open anyway and I just started doodling and adding stuff and started messing around with some different styles. I was originally going to neon wireframe a boombox with bold letters on top and bottom with a spiral background of some sort but then I got lost in the neon jumping out of the screen and started experimenting with it
as far as that creature that started with me trying to do a two layer period then it formed to an eye then I started fleshing it out etc.
I act on impulse with these
I got positive reception with the last weird ones so I figured why not show bf2s
I'm happy with it, I also learned a few techniques for some really neat effects (neat in my mind at least)
edit: It's initially unreadable because I was using the previous character to make the next one if that makes sense
Again it was a doodle thing, I was trying to see how creative I could be
Now that I look at it I see many improvements I'll make tomorrow
sorry for double post I'll fix it when I'm on the comp tomorrow
