    The crap is called clipping masks.

    I like this sig Ice. The colors are much better then before and the effects seem to flow very well with the stock. Looks like it was a hard stock to work with, but you proved that it really isn't. Nicejob

    rofl, I'm not sure whether you've noticed or not, but you've been on my ignore list for a while now. And these are the first posts of yours I've read in a while, I believe I should tell you that I honestly don't respect you enough as a sig maker to take your CnC seriously.

    Your not supposed to say that out loud :p

    Anyway, sometimes you have to take people who don't know what they talk about's opinions, because they don't know all the technical terms. But calling clipping masks crap is like...ya....

    Haha... I agree with Ice. There're a couple people on here who don't have what it takes to give CnC IMO but still... Anyone can say if something looks good or not, it takes some talent to pinpoint it though.

    As for the sig... I like it. It looks a ton like Hells' 2v2 submission (Or yours?). Idk whos it was but it looks like that. I love the colors and clipping masks.

    What colors did you use for the gradient map?

    Pretty nice. Somewhat good flow. The only thing I have against this sig (nothing against your work or anyone elses) is that the style is so overdone and overused. I just would like to see something new ya know? You are still of course great at what you do, but I wish there were more innovative ppl. Otherwise nice sig :p

    I hate it when people use this comment, its almost as annoying as the overused stock comment. I'm not saying that its not a overused style, but I'm saying that I don't care...And I just thought I would say that this, "nothing against your work or anyone elses" contradicts this, "but I wish there were more innovative ppl" Which implies I don't think originally...

    It doesn't contradict anything. I'm solely saying that I am tired of the same old things that people stick to and only think that that is cool or good. I AM NOT saying that you or anyone else are uncreative or incapable of thinking of something cool, I just would like to see more people having a different perspective on things, that's all. Good for you if you don't care about it, I'm not saying anything against that, I am saying in general, not just to you (just so happens to be in your post) that people should broaden their horizons and give other styles that may seem stupid or not "cool" a chance to better themselves as artists. That's what I do all the time. Sure my forte may be dry media(drawing) but I'll try painting, collage, sculpture, etc. All in all, It'll just make you the best artist you can be (not saying I am, I still have plenty to learn). Just keep that in mind, everyone, not just one person.

    No offence, but I think an artist doesn't care what the "people" want to see, they make art, and if soemene doesn't like it, then too bad for them.

    END OF CONVERSATION.

    Yeah, can't forget that graphic design is a whole different world from non-computer art. What I was saying applies more to "art" art, not graphic design and stuff like that. Yet it still does to an extent, but I still gotta honor other artists choices.

    I like that green version. It's not your best, maybe high use of C4Ds aren't your thing. And for this sig, I'm not a fan of the clipping masks. Good coloring but awkward lighting. The AR is pretty dark/blurred, but that's what make these types of things difficult. For future reference, it is a pretty important part of the focal in this particular sig.
    3/5 not your best work :(

    IMO, its great. over the gun it gets a little grainy, but otherwise I love it. Did you use displace?

    I think it looks great. One of my favorites.

    I think the green one (v2) is the best. Good flow and great c4ds but the only thing that bugs me is the effects over the barrel of the gun. Other than that its really good.

    The one with all the colors toned down is best.

    Nice depth, but the light source is too strong which makes it look unrealistic.
