I personally liked the other version better. This one looks more lq and just less appealing. I like the fact that you used hand made effects, and I would like to see it more often. The bg is great in this one, but it could use some lighting, and he seems slightly over sharpened or over contrasted, can decide which in this case. It has nice depth and flow though. Well, its really empty...not much else to say.... I like the to right alot more than the bottom left. The text is very small and hard to see. However, the blending and colors are good, you should either make the top right fit with the rest of the theme or the left and bottom fit with the right.
Fix the quality of the focal. Too bright and he looks like he's floating... The background is really boring, and the text could use some work.
Frag Man of the Week Entry I just felt like I needed CnC. I believe you already know what I did to the signature.
Well, it seems off balance with all the brightness on the right side and darkness on the left. The right side of him looks blurry to me. Other than that, it looks pretty good. You have random blotches of white fuzz that I don't like. It also has a little floating head going on. It might be better with some color, but black and white looks pretty good. I really like the right side, but the left side could use some work. This is a request I know, but the palm tree ruins the flow and the right side of mc looks really weird. Other than that its pretty good. I mean, that was a odd request. Well it looks good, and the fact that its hand made is even better. I'm not a fan of the gem, but I think someone already mentioned that. The shadows are good, and the lighting is good. Not much else to say. Barney...Who would want a Barney sig? Well anyway, good flow, but depth and blending could be better. Try removing the sparkles and messing around with the effects you have.
it doesnt look that great, i kno, but ive always been partial to sharpened blurring, i only sharpened around the focal.
it may not look that good but i have alot of free time since i broke foot and thought i would give it a try. just wondering what i could improve on and fix. i got stuck on what to do so i just played around with some different effects and stuff
Well the c4ds look blurry and lq, the way you smudged the edge of the spartan all over doesn't look good to me. The text should me smaller, thicker and closer to his shoulder than his helmet. It does have nice flow though and its good for a beginner like you. Its good for a drawing...I'm not a fan of the bottom though, Where the zipper comes undone, that looks weird to me, why would a coat zip from the bottom up? When making a widescreen border I usually put a 1px edge on the sides, but thats just me. I would like to see a colored version of this, the text would be easier to get closer to him then, which needs to be done. I don't like the whit and faded white circles in there though, they looks odd to me. A version with out them would be nice too. theres a solid white bar on the top right, remove that its to solid. Or you could make it more stripey like ones closer to him.
