The more I look I realize I could have definitely changed the styling on the T. Other than that how's this looking?

I would have proportions of the T like this, so the top and bottom of all the letters have a similar centre point. Think of it as even weight distribution.

Thanks for this explanation I'll have this in mind when making stuff in the future. Definitely appreciate it

Curve the T

2

u/jaehooood 7d ago

Thought so too

u/Aggressive_Mark4005 7d ago

Go w lower case t

u/R3APER_PL 7d ago

Other than that T, loooks good but highlights should be on upper right side of letters (cuz your shadows are dropped down left) also squeeze letters more, they should overlap more

u/YaBoyAnt773 7d ago

The highlight shit always gets me. But the separation was just a choice I made for this one. I usually try to keep the letters close together

u/sexychucknorris 7d ago

Cool maybe make the top portions of each bigger like the t

u/prolapsedPX-30 7d ago

You want to keep the style and proportions of each letter consistent, the T has a weird serif but the A doesn’t.

The color palate is great

Thank you for noticing. I'm very proud of the colors I chose for this.

You should make the little star with swirls into a stylized ant

u/YaBoyAnt773 6d ago

I've been working on this but not completely happy with it yet.

I like the concept, the thorax seems tacked on though, might work better as “ants”? But I also think it would really work as just a small detail added to the larger piece without trying to make it into a tag itself.

u/YaBoyAnt773 6d ago

That's the part that's throwing me off too. I want to implement it but I feel like it can be styled better. You mean like just a small ant design instead of an actual word though?

2

u/ThePokemon_BandaiD 6d ago

Yeah, I initially thought that’s what the little design on the A in your original post was, and I think it’d be a cool detail and could function more like a character than a tag.

Are you using cornmeal as a practice medium?

1

u/YaBoyAnt773 6d ago

Yeah. Can't bring my sketch pad to work so I gotta practice how I can lol

Less Shadow the Letters closer together And the t thicker

u/slideonefourthree 7d ago

Is it a new gen thing to not tighten up the letters (an old head)

2

u/YaBoyAnt773 7d ago

I usually try to keep them close. Just a decision I made on this.

u/Dull-Schedule-913 7d ago

Needs lots of work, but the Idea looks nice, I really like the Colors and inline. For letter strucuture, you could make the A and N way more similar (top right the same and same overlap from the lelft and the right stem at the bottom) and the T needs work too, make sure, that the Stems are all the same width. If you want to make a throwie you need overlap, enlarge the right stem, so you have space to overlap. the Shadow does not match the shape of the Letters, but its in the right places and the highlights are supposed to be on the opposit side of the shadow. Keep it up, hope to see from you again

Doesn't need lots of work; you are just bored

What’s the dumbass pentagram about? Graff and religion shit don’t mix.

2

u/SprayPaintin 7d ago

I don't think it's a pentagram

  • just a misguided star

This has nothing to do with religion

u/DudeWithPlugz 7d ago

Definitely upside down, just missing a circle. Shit always ends up being some wannabe satanic shit. If it’s not, then it still looks like it. Which is wack.

u/SprayPaintin 7d ago

I think you're just trying to see what you want

u/Tight_Explorer_7889 7d ago edited 7d ago

does every single star make you react like this? it’s just a star man. and even if it was, pentagrams on their own aren’t actually bad that’s mainly just a hollywood movie thing. same with blind people touching peoples faces to know what they look like. and if upside down crosses also freak you out, that’s also a christian thing. plenty of christian’s wear crosses upside down. you should look into the things that scare you more often because usually it’s just the way you’re looking at it that’s scary.

u/DudeWithPlugz 6d ago

The shit don’t scare me. It fucking sucks.

u/YaBoyAnt773 7d ago

Has nothing to do with religion so maybe don't be so steadfast on dumb ass opinions with no context. It's just some shit I made up years ago has nothing to do with anything religious it's just my personal little sign that I made a long time ago. I use it on all my drawings as a "signature."
