Your improvement has been great since you first joined. Awesome sig, although, I feel the text is a bit unnecessary. I think you should have made the top left and bottom right corners a bit darker. Nice flow, comp, kiu!

Your lighting from your render has no source and is not even displayed.
So I suggest adding some lighting .... -

^I believe the lighting is coming from the guy's chest.

03-09-2011, 08:03 PMxSh4d0w Sh0cKxThat's exactly right. In the original render, the light was reflecting off of his chest, so I did the best that I could with it. There is also a reason that I made the light look as if it's coming from his chest (I enhanced it). The reason goes along with the name, and theme of the design. I named it "The Eternal War" and made a ghost of the render to symbolize the battle within; the struggle that takes place inside all of us. A sort of good vs. evil type of idea.Quote:

^I didn't notice the ghost until you pointed it out, xD. It adds well to the depth though.

Doesn't look like the light is coming from his chest but is getting reflected from his chest.
I still see no light source. -
03-09-2011, 08:47 PMxSh4d0w Sh0cKxWould you give me a break? I'm still learning to use lighting, man. It doesn't happen overnight.Quote:

Now that Manga says that, it sort of does look like that. Try playing around with lighting effects and lowering the opacity of it, helps a bit.

03-09-2011, 09:01 PMMangaWhat's your point? I never gave you my opinion of the signature other than how it could be improved so I see not how this "break" could be given.Quote:

Then you wouldn't be wondering why he's asking you for a break. -

I am not here to say GOOD JOB, I was posting because I want to see him do better in the future because he is doing a lot better than I was when I was at his point. I especially believe he can do better than me and my mate EC at one point if he keeps it up. I see what he is improving from his past signatures and he has kept improving, I don't feel a need to point that out because I am assuming he is going to keep improving and I would call that out when I would deem it necessary. His lighting as always been off but in this one it was off the most and from what he stated it seemed as if he didn't understand why I thought it was off. Him telling me to give him a break on CnC is like asking me to pretend it is better than it is. Using flowery language isn't something I am into.
