I'm glad you called me out on the automated "halftone" pattern. I was trying to get the max depth out of an illustration when I was out of colors and short on time, so I improvised. You can't forget, I'm just a noob too. Take me under your mentoring wing of designing wisdom, will you?
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.... you aint no noob!
Wisdom? I don't know much either. I will however share a small secret. Flaming Pear - India Ink. Semi automated texture shading filter. $15. Although just like halftoning, you have to really manipulate it extensively so it doesnt look like Manos, the Hands of Sh|T, not Molten Rubber.
Anyways, I think you will win one day soon. I will tell you though... of all the designs I did that never won, the one that won, was the one I spent the LEAST time on... it took like... an hour and a half. While all the losers combined were countless hours of artistic drive for perfection and craft. WT!F!? People love a knee slap concept. Simplicity is king. Police love Donut jokes. Three Chord Power ballads.
Even myself... the instant HA will encourage me to give a design some props.
Im going to have to go weep quietly about my chosen profession.
