Dreiko's take on smudge sigging

[Dreiko Shadrack]

it's not pure smudge, i used alot of other techniques in this...and i have to say that i'm really really pleased how this came out, including the text, which is rare because i hate doing text.

v1


v2


some might recognize that render, what can i say? it's a cool dragon.
Edit: v2 doesn't change much, just a bit less contrast around the eye and parts of the snout and front teeth, i like these changes.

wahhh!!! my dragon!

XD looks nice, it's just a bit over contrasted near the dragons eyes and snout.

Text is actually done well especially for one that isn't basic. Though its a bit too close to the border which bothers me since it seems unbalanecd in that sense.

I actually didn't like this render when I first looked at it. I just used it since it's neck was curved lol,

Nice work though, the text follows the dragons neck quite well. The only real problem is the over contrasted areas that's all.

nice one man, colours look great, but i agree with nightfire, its a little over-contrasted in parts. dig the text too

[Dreiko Shadrack]

yeah, i'm a contrast freak.

I like contrast too. I think it's fine. Really nice job with the text, good lighting. Nice job.

Thanks, but i had to agree about those hard spots, so i blurred them slightly.
