So I have wanted some sort of a graffiti background for ages and decided to try my hand at it. This is the female version, male is the same except of course for the avatar outline. This is still a bit rough, sidewalk needs some cleaning up for sure!

I welcome any interest in this item as a CW, and constructive criticism!

Oooo, I like it a lot! (But you're missing the middle leg in your peace sign). As a huge Styx fan, it even has an extra added inadvertent appeal for me. :)

Neat idea for a CW :) You've got a good start there.

Not sure how finished you are with this, so if I point out anything you're planning to do, just ignore it XD But right now it looks more like pixel art style than Subeta style.

It definately needs more shading. The bricks look a bit too perfect. Maybe instead of perfect straight lines, try varying them to get a bit of texture. I'm not sure if you need to shade the bricks individually, but you should probably give it more shading to give it more volume. Also, the lines dividing the bricks should not just be bright white lines. Try using a lighter cream, and you may want to do some shading on the lines as well.

The graffiti on the wall look a bit like they're just plastered onto the bricks. I think they need to mold into the brick more. For example, look at this photo of a graffitied wall, you see how the texture of the bricks show through the graffiti? I think you need to show that a bit more. Also, the white heart at the botoom look a bit pixelated around the edges.

As for the spray can, I like how you included it in the background, I think you can use that for the item image :) It needs black lineart, and thicker than the lineart it has now.

I hope that helps, good luck!

Did some work on the graffiti, tried to enhance where the paint goes into the cement between the bricks so it looks less like a sticker (still needs to be textured though). Also did some work on the sidewalk, did some shading on some of the bricks, and changed it so the color of the cement between the bricks is not the same everywhere... can you see the differences?

I fixed the peace sign lol... distraction is a detail killer!

Cute, but PLEASE give that spray can some shading and don't start all the writings at the left edge of the image - I don't think real graffiti walls have such vertical lines "okay guys, start graffitis here", it should rather be layered in a chaotic way.
