Some New Stuff

Internet wasn't working for about a week or so on my photoshop comp. Some works I made during that time:

Got internet back today and decided I wanted to try something new after downloading some stuff:

IDK I find myself in a little of a GFX block; I can't decide which renders to use and change them around a lot so my tags look a bit sloppy..

love the all of them except the last one. nice job, KIU.

Thanks; wasn't digging the last one :/ I need to work on my pentooling

Wow..

Loving the light source and flow of your work. Great depth as well.

Nice work bro.

personally i think #1 looks pretty crappy. not blended and looks like render wasnt properly resized. i like the rest though

Thanks Inkz and EviL_inK I think I oversharpened it :/ thanks though.

I think it looks like you create the whole tag with effects and all and then in the end thought - I need to have a render in it as well, I guess this one will do *pastes in a render*.
IMO a render should be the whole base of the tag, it should be point A and the beginning of the whole piece. Work with it and develop the effects to suit the render, not the other way around.
I apologize if I'm mistaken, this is just how I interprate your tags.

I really like the 2nd tag a lot, but as said I just wish the render were blended in better :blush:

last one is my fave aside from the lighting on the render, mabe tone that down, and the second red pentool line that goes opposite of the others. good stuff overall :cool:

Roughly that but I also try to make the effects enhance the render or parts of it but they don't come out as planned or envisioned such as the gun in the Halo, focus on hand in the third. But thank you I'll start putting a lot more focus upon the render rather effects from now on :D.

Thank you selector it was actually inspired by your breakneck sig but it didn't come out as well :3.

STOP BEING SO F**ING AWESOME http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...erGFX/Halo.png

Ehm... hmm..

I really don't know what to think.

I feel like you're half trying to emulate the style of other people who make really good tags, and you're half trying to create your own style, but something about the renders always looks totally completely off.

At first glance I think "Wow these are sexy", second glance "Wait are these the same sigs?", then after a couple minutes of looking close "Oh..."

You have a good -look- down, you just need to master the details, because the details feel really, really sloppy.
The first one, the render looks very second-thought and oddly blended. I strongly dislike it due to that.
The second one is the best of the top three, imo. There are less sloppy aspects, but it still looks a bit messy.
Third is good, except the blue C4D effect render looks -very- bad. Like you put it in and set it to color dodge and that was that, it looks too... grossly contrasted? Or something.

4th is actually the best in my opinion, from a technical standpoint. You edited yourself and didn't add too much, none of it looks too sloppy except maybe the pentool (using a big, hard round brush like that can look juvenile, try doing the same thing but with pencil maybe?) and the composition is nicer.

Wow thanks for the detailed CnC <3 I'll keep these in mind. The third sig actually was the result of too many adjustment layers and focus/lighting when I looked back through the sig.
