CnC Spoiler What i did: duplicated layer 3 times smudged blended layers (needs 3 layers to blend) added illusion to 2nd layer then turned down opacity on first added bnw gradient map and turned down opacity, so its a little bit more black and white then the normal stock dilated illusion added softglow sharpened 20 minutes
This is by far your best sig. The lighting on the focal is good, though it could be brightened up a tad. The lighting on the right side, however, should be removed, because the lighting on the focal is coming from the top left, not the right. The smudging in this sig is really nice, it looks almost smoky. The blending is very nice in this sig as well. I like the black and white color scheme, and the border is ok. Overall, it is a very nice sig. I would suggest fixing that lighting problem, and then this would be great.
The lighting is messed up a tad. It should be coming from the left of him, but not too the far left. Work on the depth a little more, it doesn't look like it has any. Sharpen the focal a tad more unless the image is low quality, then just work on blurring to get it look the way you want it to. Overall, I agree with Kratos, this is your best in my opinion.
Thank you both for the very positive comments, i didnt know this sig would be very well recieved. considering i thought most people would think i only smudged, which is why i put a list in the spoiler. does anybody notice the softglow? i think it worked very well in this sig.
