New stuff - Halo, SOTW

[Aces High]

I've been experimenting with different styles that are new to me. Ratchet's infamous tut pointed me in this initial stylistic direction, but these are all my own work. Cnc, so forth, so on......

3 - SOTW 149 Entry


Thanks!

Love the first one. and sotw is pretty good too.

But man shock and awe just blows the rest of it out of the water. It's a damn sweet with great effects and depth.

Good stuff aces keep it up.

SHock and awe is ther best. the contrats between master cheif and the rest is amazing. But i think it'd be better with a different BG instead of the white. I just disdlike the white cause it taskes my eyes off master cheif and onto the white.

The first one, lacks blending and the whole fire thing is really wored IMO.

The third is decent but it has wayy to many effects on the edges leaving it without any trace of flow.

Nice job on the second!

Great work on shock and awe, I love it. Only thing I would change there is the borders.. I'm just a small border type guy so don't listen to me..

#1 has some great flow but no blending, erase the edges of the master chief with a 65 px brush on like 25% opacity and then I'd like it a lot more.

I see SOME traces of flow on the SOTW one, or attempts at flow, but like papa said the effects on the edges make the effects in the background seem like they are from a completely different sig...

Overall nice job, Shock and Awe is teh bomb.

I love the Shock and Awe, as everyone else has said.
Don't like the first one at all, just looks too fractal-ish for my liking.
I love that effect that you have gotten over all the renders, that cage like thing, it's very cool, would love to know how to do that.
You didn't too a lot of blending but thats alright because the effects have you on there are just simply amazing.
The SOTW entry one is really great but no flow at all and just a bunch of (cool) yet random effects.
Nice simple text just finishes these ones off really nicely. :P

[Virtue]

sux.


But really, you're so much better at sigs than I am now. I haven't made one in months. BUT, I did just get CS4, so who knows. I vomit on all master chief sigs, but S&A is stunning. I really like your SOTW entry too. I'll definitely be voting for that.

Thanks for all the cnc guys. sorry about the fire-ish thing papa, the stock had an orange firey looking sky, so i just went with it. if i have time (it's finals week) i'll work on them some more. Thanks again, much appreciated!
