    Default HardStyles' After Effects & Photoshop Work

    The screenshot gallery of mine didn't seem like a good place to post stuff that wasn't related to Total War, so with caution I'm going to post some of my stuff here, mainly After Effects work.

    I'm kind of new to After Effects, but I've been using Photoshop for a loooong time. Here's something I created in After Effects:

    Hi HardStyles,

    So, welcome in the Graphic Workshop !

    You have good skills on photoshop.
    Thought it would be great to have an "Before/After", to have a quick look of your work on the pictures you presented.

    I like a lot the simplicity and the clean effect of the last work you posted.
    In general, I think your work yet stay a little bit too saturated, but for some i believe this is the effect intented.


    + rep

    P.S :
    i look forward seeing more of your stuff

    Thank you for your great feedback I really appreciate it. Here are the "before" unedited pictures for Uncharted 3 and Skyrim:

    Note, I have a big tendency to add color to my images, not so much saturation, but a lot of visible/"stand-out" colors I'll try to work on that and limit myself

    Once again,
    Thanks

    I Hope the After Effects picture is at least a start.

    It can be great, but as much as this will conserve a certain aesthetics.
    If i can explain correctly myself, as you can see on your Skyrim one, it is a little bit too white on the sky to be natural or to create a real effect on the eye, as a purpose to describe it to you i used the term "saturated", but maybe you can find a more appropriate word.

    However, it seems like you said that you love the colors, and visible one ... so conserve that, it's a great thing, don't even think about limit yourself !!!
    Just think about the best way to improve it... and maybe think about other colour, or balance the contrast after .

    It's better than a start ! It's really good, continue on this way i think. Cleaner, Faster, Stronger... (Daft Punk already did it )

    The file size is HUGE for a 16 second video; 1.2 gb! Well, I did use 720p uncompressed and lossless rendering

    Thank you very much sir! You'll find similar ones too on youtube, I think... This specific effect is VERY cool and common too (hmm not surprised).
    Any one find the music... fitting perhaps?


    Can you believe it! This ancient rock drawing was found today! It's said to be the oldest rock drawing in the world. Oh my, would you look at that..! "Total War Center" is written on the rock wall!! The cavemen sure predicted a great future.

    This is only something comical and slapped together in a heartbeat

    Poor cast away... He has recently written "help!" on the sand for hopes of getting rescued, as you can see, the dug up sand is still a bit wet.

    In your Hardstyles images the text "Hardstyles" could be improved with layer styles (like adding a white inner glow or maybe a stroke and maybe a gradient overlay?), great stuff though. (I admit I'm addicted to layer styles ).

    Ok! I've used the the layer styles on other texts though, if I remember correctly my last two images. But thanks a lot for the input I'll work on that
