    part III of my subtext phrase series
    CNC

    rite, what I did

    • Cloned the face to the soccer ball.
    • sharpened the render
    • Put in the BG, and got rid of the sky.
    • Bucket filled the sky
    • Made my own clouds using a tedious dodge/smudge/paint process
    • Added a couple lens flairs
    • Blurred the BG

    Its a bit simple but thats the style of the sig. I really like it. I can tell you did more then paste the render and I am afraid someone else is going to post regarding the work of the sig not understanding anything about it. I like the lighting as well. Nice job

    The text is bad and boring. The background is overblurred, people seem to be starting to overblur everthing though. I swear it's like pople are looking at the world through someone with shitty vision. I don't like the lighting, and trying to put an anime character into a real world background looks strange. 2D + 3D don't mix. Also the faceo n the ball is random and makes it look completly un-like a soccer ball.

    You should work on your text. For some reason the edges look pixely, and the font you choose never works with the signature. Neither does the font color.

    It's not the font... It's that you just put it on. You don't blend it at all or even do anything. It's just plain 'ol black.

    I like.

    The lighting on the face seems off, and i've never seen a soccer ball like that xD Maybe add some pentagons in black or something. Also, flip the 'reflection'. Text needs work, defiantly.

    The clouds look amazing. My favorite part of the whole sig.

    Looks great. I like the cloning face on the ball. The blurry background is cool too. You used good font for your name unlike people not knowing how to blend so overall 5/5

    I like it, for all the reasons reaper doesn't. Its nice and simple, putting some crazy font would just ruin it. The focus of this sig is to make the picture stand out and it does. The font is simple and I feel like this is one situation where default plain, no work font is acceptable.

    The 2D and 3D, adds a depth and look to the sig that I really like. I will have to agree with Reaper that the background is a little overblurred. Also there is a blue outline around all the trees and it looks a lot like an anti-alias fail. I really like how you did the clouds though, other than the little hook on the right cloud, clouds don't do that on my planet ;).

    Overall very nice sig, keep up the good work.
