Here is most of my new work None of these have any C4D's in them and they are all basically made with layers and layers of different colored brushes mixed with effects and gradient maps. I really like this new style that I've developed. Tell me what you think guys Monroe Chief Dr. Manhattan CQB Abstract: Circles
Yeah haha, I'm not a big fan of the bottom one. It was a poor abstract attempt but it could be worse. What about the rest though?
they are really wide... but i kinda like them actually.. of course except for the bottom one. So to improve... Crop off empty space, but dont put the focal at the exact center, kinda make it off-centered unless it would look good centered. also, your smudging is a little blurry.. if it were a little sharper it would look better
I really like the background on Monroe, and I love Dr. Manhattan (because I love all things Dr. Manhattan). CQB, the render looks a tad oversharpened and the background is too blurry for my taste (although the colors are still great).
Actually I think a he should keep a few central focals. Like the Monroe one, it really works for a centered signature because the stock is symmetrical in the picture, and the posture. The Chief and Dr.Manhattan one have some symmetrical qualities, but the posture is leaning more towards one side. Also, I love the Circular signature. It's not really in line with your new style, but the colors and composition are really well executed. Especially since you didn't keep the shapes just solid colors, you added some darkened effects that really add the colors.
Not a big fan of the placement but that isn't the biggest turn off. The bluring looks lq try sharpening it. I really like the last one, despite the others comments.
