Whad'dya think?

Remove the C4D, re-colour it or smudge it a bit, it brings down the rest of the tag.

Hows this then?

 

 

 

Better, but still distracting; lower the opacity a bit more on the C4D layer? It still just doesn't look blended in :roll:

 

 

 

Also, take the text away, saying SHIN on it doesn't look very good :P

Focalise the focal.

 

 

 

As said, dull the C4D to make the focal more pronounced. Make the focal (render) stand out more.

 

 

 

The text would look better if its smaller and less pronounced, and less obvious and not as bright as the rest of the image.

I'd agree with Lax on some points. I'd say remove the text or make it less distracting (smaller, dimmer). Sharpen the focal so it stands out more though it has some blending which is less than mediocre, at least you tried. Blend the C4D so it doesn't stand out so much and try to use it so it creates flow and adds appeal.

 

 

 

Try out some different effects. The (smudging?) looks decent but it's certainly not the greatest. Try using clipping masks or something just to change it up a bit. It needs a decent colour-scheme, I'm not liking the one at the moment. You should really read up about it, I'm sure it'll help you ALOT.

 

 

 

You're signatures lack some key elements:

 

 

 

Your focal point isn't defined. We need to know what it is and not get distracted by other things. You're signatures have pretty much no appeal and they often look rushed and as a result are sloppy. You need to create some flow, it can help the tag immensely. Your colours aren't very good either.

 

 

 

You also have a lack of effects, IMO. You need some variety and don't be afraid to try new things. You are terrible at using C4D's, IMO. They just stand out and don't create flow, or help the tag at all. You might as well not have them if you're going to use them like that. I'd say you should read up on your tutorials or look at some .PSDs/.XCF's (I think?)

 

 

 

There's also another main concern of mine. I can hardly find any positives in your signatures. They're all negative or "bad" most of the time

 

 

 

Good luck. I hope I helped :)

Wow, harsh man :P . Yeah, i've taken all that in.

Sorry, lol. I really wan't you to improve.

just smudge? Slightly dif colouring as well.

 

 

 

Thanks for the crit jas.

 

 

 

YW. Render's over-blended. Did you change the opacity(sp?) on it? Still not liking the colours and the smudging looks rushed. What's up with the sudden darkness on the edges?

just smudge? Slightly dif colouring as well.

 

 

 

Thanks for the crit jas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, it looks like you set the smudge rate to 100 and rushed around the entire thing. Try it in moderation, and be a bit more gradual. :P

 

 

 

Also, that dark on the right doesn't work.
