well... its that time of year again... well... actually i was bored, and was screwing around on gimp... happened to come up with something nice... figured id post it up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

feel free to cc, and offer your oppinion

Points for originality but...you need a lot of things...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Blending

 

 

 

Try blending the render, smudging..low opacity using the eraser tool brushing...quick mask...there's plenty of other ways.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Contrast

 

 

 

It's just 1 gloomy green overlay shade...try adding more colour...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Depth

 

 

 

It's just flat...just that 'thing' missing...needs more of an angle, needs life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Flow

 

 

 

The signature needs to flow...not some filters/clouds slapped on with a render...let the brushes/c4d/render flow with everything else...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Lighting

 

 

 

You really need to work on your lighting...try create a light source point and start shading over with a low opacity black brush and set the layer to Soft Light.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Focal Point

 

 

 

When you look at the signature, you don't immediately look at anything really...you just see an image. To create a good focal point, try and bring the render towards everything else, make it stand out, but not so immensly it doesn't have good flow or over-contrasted.

thanks for the crits =) i dont make this kinda stuff often, so im just kinda meh. i will defanantly think of tthat stuff when i make another.
