Looking good for a fifth signature! You should know that when people say "i hate it" it's not a reflection on you. In fact, the people who criticize you the harshest do it because they want to see you improve. With every mean or critical comment the only person who thinks poorly of you is yourself. With that said, i'm gonna criticize your work :)
the background and the foreground don't intermix enough. There's too much going on. Too many colors. Hate the font (also it's poorly rendered--blame photoshop for that one). Also, what's above "splinter cell"? Can't read it. The IAMLEGEND at the bottom is unneccessary (bad font), the lighting is... weird... Biggest things to work on now: More integration of the fore and back grounds. Right now i see five layers. The background, the dudes, the black border and both text layers. Maybe six if there's two parts to the background, idk if that's one image
here's what i like: I like the placement of the dudes. Front and center can get a little boring, but at least this gives some interest to the image. The faded black border contains the image well and gives it some depth. You strongly identified the main object by using light in the background to indicate where your eye should go--that's awesome!
See that wasn't too bad (hopefully)! Every critique comes with improvement, and improvement comes with three things: time, practice, and learning from your previous mess ups. You'll never become a good singer if you can't admit that the last time you sung a song you were a little flat on the last part. Same goes for drawing
You're doing great, and keep working! The more you create the better you get.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to keep everything you said in mind, it's just kind of hard for me cause I have OCD, so if I stay there trying to tweak EVERYTHING I'll probably work on it for months! Hehe.
For a long while i had one image that i redid constantly to try and track my improvement. Instead of fixing it up forever you should try redoing it over and over again. It's really cool to be able to take the same concept and start from scratch with it then compair it to the one you did before. it's cool to see what you've improved on and stuff. Try that instead! :) Besides, working to make something awesome is totally acceptable in terms of graphics, OCD might be a plus!
Well, I like to try new ones, I just don't know any good renders, C4D's etc. Nor how to kind of "Blend" them together. :/
look for tutorials!! They're fantastic and that's what they're made for. there's a bunch on this forum :) also planetrenders.com is a good place for renders and c4ds
