Don't suppose you'll tell me how you got that picture to look so clean. It looks more realistic than regualr bungie images.
Filter>Sharpen>Sharpen i also blurred and desaturated the background and applied multiple masks such as a vibrance/saturation mask and of course some gradient maps.
The text is probably the weakest aspect of what is a fantastic sig. The only other thing i don't like is the lack of a feeling of 'motion', which is unusual.
What about the text isnt good? Please be more specific. And yes, i agree, it is somewhat statuesque...but i personally like it that way....
I feel the gradient on the text just doesn't agree with me. To me, it's too opaque to blend entirely, but too traslucent to feel like it's not solid. I'd have it placed a few pixels higher, and partially behind both the flag and the shoulder. Apologies for vagueness, and i am only nitpicking. As i said, it is the weakest point, not a weak point. Also my second point was not a criticism. The feeling of it is very good, just not what i would expect.
The flag and the spartan seems like dual focals.. Im sure you know what to do to fix that. And I love the twenty "OMGZ I needz this sig!!1!1" Comments in this thread. <3
Well you could blur the spartan, but then it would look ugly. btw your santa hat is out of proportion.
I didnt put it there. Don't care though. Holiday cheer is holiday cheer nomatter what the proportions. nope.
I highly dislike this signature Hari. I will tell you why. Although some of the members who have posted in this thread (some having no idea what they are talking about) say that they love the idea of the horizontal glowing lines, I do not. I think that it was a bad way to add to the flow of the signature and overall it doesn't look very attractive. Also the text should be behind the lines and not in front. Or you could just place it so that it looks like its on top of the lines rather than in front or behind it. In this signature, you have dual focals, which is kind of a nono, but since there connected somehow, I guess it could slide. The smudging for effects, I think didn't turn out so great, its very distracting. Alltogether, this is definitely not your best work, I have seen you do better.
i thank you and congratulate you for presenting a full and honest opinion. It has offered me a new perspective on this piece that i will keep in mind for further work. Thanks again
