Tyrion Lannister

Played around with various C4Ds and such before this thing kinda materialized out of nowhere. Please let me know what I did well, and what I can do to improve this particular piece.

Thanks!

no to the text no to the topaz and no to the color
try working on its details by sharpening it not using topaz or something like that. Try to make the color befit the render itself. Text should'nt be like that, dont use clipping mask when the thing you will clip is dull.

texttttttttttt

Try not to make Topaz stand out too much. Also, create some depth by applying blur on some areas of the tag like the background. I think you did a nice job on the lights ans shadows (keep it up) and you should move the text next to your focal so that it doesn't create distraction. It's looking good mate just needs a little more tweaking.

Thanks for the criticisms, guys. Now, I understand that I really really really suck at text and I can't find a tutorial that really shows what "good" text is, but here's a V2 side-by-side with the original.

Thanks again
