No doubt i'll get negative feedback from everyone?

They aren't bad, they look nice

 

But at the same time they just appear to be cropped photographs with pre-made effects plastered ontop, so in terms of artistic talent and merit theres not alot to be said.

Don't post a title like that, you just bring the negative comments on straight away. :thumbdown:

 

Anywho, the seem to be replicas of each other, minus the background. Nothing is really blended in, and the flow is all yucky. Keep practicing.

 

And, please, erase the effects over your focal. It will look so much better.

My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

The colours in both are way too washed out. It looks like you've filled a layer with white and just put it on 50% opacity on top of everything else. Make it more vivid, and will instantly look better.

So don't let anyone tell you you're not worth the earth,

These streets are your streets, this turf is your turf,

Don't let anyone tell you that you've got to give in,

Cos you can make a difference, you can change everything,

Just let your dreams be your pilot, your imagination your fuel,

Tear up the book and write your own damn rules,

Use all that heart, hope and soul that you've got,

And the love and the rage that you feel in your gut,

And realise that the other world that you're always looking for,

Lies right here in front of us, just outside this door,

And it's up to you to go out there and paint the canvas,

After all, you were put on the earth to do this,

So shine your light so bright that all can see,

Take pride in being whoever the [bleep] you want to be.

Right now, my biggest problem with them is just that they are soooo washed out. Fix that and then I might have some more useful crits :)

I'm not going to lie, these are terrible. However I noticed you tried smudging instead of adding random C4D's, which I can definitely appreciate. I'll point out the more obvious flaws which should dramatically improve the quality of your work.

 

1) Most of your works lack good flow. When looking at them, my eyes get confused and don't know where to go. I'll explain...

You'll notice that in the picture the woman's arms form a line, as I've shown, which is perfect! Most beginners end up choosing stocks or renders with bad flow already in them, but this one practically has it laid out for you! You should have followed her arms, but instead you went across her stomach. This is confusing because people will follow your line at first, from the left to the right, then see her arms are moving at a 45 degree angle to your line and get confused. Subconsciously, of course. If you would have had the smudging follow her arms, it would be much easier to look at.

Again, your flow contradicts with the implied flow, but this time yours is almost perpendicular to the real flow!

 

While working on your next tag you should definitely keep flow in mind and try to pick a render or stock that already has an obvious flow; otherwise you're just making more work for yourself.

 

2) Take off that white layer. As already said, it really washes out the colors of your piece and makes it look boring.

 

3) You should really learn to work with easier color schemes before attempting a rainbow. Try something easy like a blue and orange or possibly a triadic color scheme like orange, violet and green. But you should really know how to work two or three colors well before you attempt to use them all :P

 

I think if you considered those three things while working on your next tag it will look significantly better. :)

 

EDIT: Oh, and get rid of the lightning. I mean, come on, you'd have to be a REALLY good artist to make a lightning stock look good :lol:

Rangeor pretty much has it covered, great post. It really does feel like you're just piling on stocks (it's evident that you tried to maybe add a lighting stock or something on screen due to the washed out look of both signatures) without any thought or consideration. A lot of my abstract signatures I did were done by using a lot of various stocks, but you have to be smart about it and not just pile stuff on.
