Another K sprite signature

And finally this one is pretty new to me
Think it has a more smoother feel to it

you cant blend stuff. in terms of lighting, colors, depth.

that was refreshing..

yes. you have cc crew for refreshing. so idc actually.

Did I do anything to make you say this?
Or are you in a bad mood

That's the wr we all know and love ^u^

But yeah you need to work on your blending, the rest is cool but the blending brings them down.

They don't look very blended in
Try working on your lighting a bit more by making it affect the render more
:3
Your effects are quite nice and your compo's aren't too bad
you've improved quite a bit since I last saw your work
keep it up mate =D

The last one looks like you pasted a render on top of a nebula bg and added some sparkles to it. o.0 Agree on the lightning/blending.

The size of your tags are good and should allow you to work better with the RO3 if you move your renders to the left just a little bit.

Errors;
Tag #1 is monotoned, the render looks a bit LQ (Low Quality), the left side is too empty, the red bar at the left side serves no purpose, there is no light source, no blending, no flow.

Tag #2 is uh, weird. You can't treat a sprite tag just like a regular tag, there are certain things you need to add for example; a power source, a strong sense of flow, direction, color coordination, purpose and overall it needs to have impact.

Tag #3 looks like a render slapped on an effect C4D preview and shrunken down, not feeling it at all.

Fixes;
Work on your blending by using adjustment layers (gradients, burning/dodging etc). If your background is 100% red and your render is 100% blue, then you need to turn that around and make them sort of match. Right now your tags look like stickers put on a cardboard box, no flow and hardly make any sense.

Next work on your render/stock canvas placement, follow the rule of 3rd. Remember that 5 pretty C4D's aren't enough, you need to at least add some sort of flow to the tag so it won't look like random placing. Overall your placing needs work.

Work on your concepts before you execute your signatures, think about what you want to do or what would look cool. Remember, looking at a render until you get an idea or searching for renders then searching for effects or how-to's is the best way to go. It is never a good idea to randomly open Photoshop and just doodle with renders and C4D's and hope for a good looking signature, that is what separates beginners from novices.

Team mate tough love;
Ask CC for hints and tips, don't post these...they make you look like a beginner ^_^.

Best of luck, SPEAK TO YOUR TEAM and hope to see more (improved versions).


Also if you liked my CnC go to the green button in the right corner side of this post and click on +Rep so I can know if I am doing my job correctly ^_^.

Not needed or criticism, it's just an insult. I can insult your work like that if I wanted too, but it's useless.

OT:

Nice style attempt, Josh but you seriously need to experiment with more colors. This style involves lots of colors and that's basically why it's well known. Start throwing in more colors and please remove your text and border. I know it's apart of the style but nothing has been done to them, so they're not only distracting, but boring.

Blending is also an issue. Blending with this style is not the same as blending with a regular C4D tag, so avoid those techniques.

I'd try to use more splatters, tbh, to help the appeal.
The first one looks the best to me, but again, the colors and blending need some work.

Try to go for a less chaotic look as well, it'll benefit the composition lots :D!

Keep it up man!

FML I can't do shit anymore T.T
Thanks guys for the comments except for Ill method.. FYI not one nebula stock was used so not one thing you said was correct so gtfo please

Thanks a lot to Joey and Syn for the in-depth cnc.
Really helpful

I really need somebody to help me with blending
No matter what I do, every tag needs better blending
I need some help

Tutorials are really helpful :P
