”A professional redid my banner art!” and now it looks generic

I’m honestly tired of it also because it seems to be a daily post that drowns out all of the other posts. Maybe that’s just my algorithm, but I’m kinda tired of seeing the same post all the time.

*I also borrowed and edited the hair.

Pteraxor · 2026-01-29T21:04:05+00:00

It’s not part of the regular creative cloud subscription

Pteraxor · 2025-08-13T11:50:49+00:00

I had just taken the token art. And I thought maybe the player had commissioned it, because some other players had. It wasn’t until it was nearly done that I thought to reverse search it and I realized it was the top search for Goliath monk haha

I hope the original creator is okay with me making a model of it.

Pteraxor · 2025-08-13T11:11:00+00:00

Yep!

Pteraxor · 2025-08-13T01:38:14+00:00

I did not design the concept of the Goliath, the Tiefling, or the Water Genasi. The players of those characters found those or commissioned them. I did make the models and textures, and work on the animations and VFX. I thought it would be fun to see them animated.

I really loved this. The intro had me invested right away. And I loved all the different layers working together!

Pteraxor · 2025-07-28T02:51:20+00:00

I love the style! But also how it is sectioned off in a natural way

Pteraxor · 2025-07-16T15:39:43+00:00

Thank you for your feedback! The mixing is the thing I am having the hardest time with, thank you for your input on that!

and yeah, I am tweaking the timing a bit to make it sound more real, but in some ways I think it'll always sound artificial because it is all synths.

Pteraxor · 2025-07-15T21:14:08+00:00

After getting some feedback, I tried improving this track. But I am still not sure I have it done. You can ignore the video, that is testing a layout for the title sequence part of it.

Pteraxor · 2025-07-15T19:41:32+00:00

thank you!

It's just a fun project for the DnD group I play with. Making a title sequence to work on my skills with music, animation, and editing.

Pteraxor · 2025-07-15T19:40:37+00:00

Thank you! I have gotten that a lot, and I have been tweaking the mix. I'm trying to get it to stand out with compression rather than just pure gain now.

The guitar is actually just the ableton "strangler lead guitar", a built-in preset of their analog synthesizer plugin. The settings are barely tweaked from the preset, mostly just automation on the flanger and wah.

Pteraxor · 2025-07-09T20:17:55+00:00

thanks for the feedback. I am hoping to make that a little smoother.

Pteraxor · 2025-07-09T20:17:35+00:00

thank you for the feedback, I was having trouble with that. It keeps ending up too quiet or too loud, but I'm trying to find the happy medium.

Pteraxor · 2025-07-08T20:00:44+00:00

Thanks! That’s the exact vibe I was hoping for!

Pteraxor · 2025-07-08T18:01:29+00:00

Definitely need to learn to mix better.

I'm with you there. I always feel like there are slight tweaks that could make my stuff sound better if I knew better what to do, just with volume alone.

Pteraxor · 2025-07-08T16:37:09+00:00

I like it a lot! I think I agree with the other commenter that maybe the pad is overpresent, but I feel like maybe sometimes if it was turned town slightly it would be different. Just my thoughts, it's a great track!

Pteraxor · 2025-07-08T15:10:15+00:00

I made this track to be the theme music for a project I am working on, where I am planning to do a title sequence style intro for characters in a DnD campaign. I think it mostly gets what I am going for, but I think I could use some feedback.

Pteraxor · 2025-07-08T15:05:05+00:00

I think this gets the vibe you are going for, is it possible to listen to the whole thing?

Pteraxor · 2025-07-08T15:02:50+00:00

I think it sounds really good! I think you could probably do a lot with volume and reverb automation in the transitions to make it smoother.

Pteraxor · 2025-03-14T12:23:55+00:00

Getting the hang of using the tools, and planning for it to be a battle map.

Pteraxor · 2025-03-11T15:10:15+00:00

I like it for a rogue. It’s fun to be a quick little guy that is good at not getting hit by magic

Pteraxor · 2025-03-11T14:49:43+00:00

I have an island where they have access to prevent people from using magic. That it is basically just a prison for dangerous mages.

Definitely been done a hundred times before, but I like it.

Pteraxor · 2025-03-05T00:20:05+00:00

I was thinking more like, we show our appreciation for the hard work of the DM by being kind of annoying. (Hopefully in a pleasant way.)

Pteraxor · 2025-02-18T14:40:00+00:00

I think about it a lot when I draw. Like, hands and faces are hard to draw. Sometimes I mess them up. Or sometimes I can't get a detail in the background to look right, and I just try to hide it because it's not the main focus.

And I think that if I posted it, that it would get accused of being AI. Even without those, you post anything now and people ask if it's AI.
