[Balance]

Anyway, looking at a lot of your signatures I have these problems with them:

1. Effects over the faces...big no no. At least in my opinion. It just really kills the focus of the entire composition.
2. The tags are a bit too tall for my tastes. As a personal preference, I like my signatures/tags looking more like a rectangle than a square.
3. Colors: try using more vibrant or interesting color combinations.

I'm interested in seeing what else you'll make. Keep it up.

-side note; i extracted the render myself, my first extraction =O! yay!

I like the new one. It's nice and clean, but the text...I'd rather have it gone. That's about all I can get from that one though, it's so small xD

[Liefe]

mkay, but what you mean by small =P its my usual size atm xD

Be sure to follow the rule of the triad, concentrate on the focal
cause the focal is the face of the render. don't shine up the light source too
much not so bright not so dim.

hey peeps, its certainly been a while heh, exams, assignments and all have kept me away =O!
anyhow here are two to say "im here! dont forget me plz!"

[Liefe]

Cnc these too!

It might just be my eyes/computer, but I do believe you could sharpen your signatures a tad more to add some depth and quality. Also, I think the backgrounds for the 3rd and 4th one are overpowering the stock. I think you should tone down your backgrounds some and add a bit of a foreground so that the signature balances out and a better sense of depth is more apparent. Your typography is nice but its too small and not placed very well. Being a bit bolder and working on placement would really help.

CnC these!, i appreciate it!, thanks to those who have!

[Liefe]

CNCz pls ^.^

also ive made a tutorial!! =O! check it out: [REMOVED]

Hm...what I really like about your tags compared to other is my inability to tell what effects you use in each one of them. But I think that is what also gives me a few issues with them as well.

I think if I had to choose something you should work on above all else is balance. Balance has multiple parts to it; balance of space, color, light, etc. For example, your most recent tag. The balance missing here appears to be the balance of space. What area of this tag should I be looking at? The light bulb, the power socket? There just isnt much emphasis on particular area to balance out every other area.

I think you have a lot of skill, but practice will always makes for perfect. What I would suggest doing, because you seem to know a lot of things, is to observe any common trait you use in all your tags and try to make a tag without using that trait. And if I had to suggest anything, I would suggest making a signature minus the use of C4Ds. Just a signature from complete scratch. I would love to see what you would do there. Good luck.

[Liefe]

well i didnt make a sig without c4d's, they just fitted too good, but i used two different types of c4ds, rather then normal ones.
also, the main basis of this sig was smudging, which i havnt done in my sigs for a while. CNC plox
(p.s. creating this, and looking at it, is best done listening to various opening credits of code geass.)

[GameGeeks]

I like it though it looks like his hand is getting sucked away. You could try duplicating the render then erasing everything but the arm to have it overlap the c4d in just that spot.

Im BACK

another of serateds epic extractions used first sig in like 3-4 months or something aye

Wow if you could of you should of entered the first one for SOTW in the Black & White theme anyways the second looks a bit to pixelated with the things like coming out and the thing under the text looks out of place :S

EDIT:Also they seem a bit to tall but that's just my opinion.

i had actually intended too, but i made the mistake of uploading it to deviant art as i normally do, which of course disqualifies it rofl! total fail aye =P

newest, cnc

[Bulf]

Hmm.
I'm not sure where I stand on this one. I really like the effects, but something seems....off. I think it's the background image at the top, but I'm not sure. I think if you were to continue the effects on the foreground in the background, but change them up a bit it'll look a little better. Though I kind of like it how it is now. I'm so indecisive xD

[Liefe]

been awhile, my intention is to get back into digital art (ofc illuminated spirits too!)
so. cnc please

[Bulf]

Mmmhm, nice smudgework going on there. I think a tad more lighting and a different font and you're back on track! It's good to have you back btw xD
