Personal Best

[CryX4]

Just showing off some of my personal best sig I made.

 

Best sig by me:

 

Smudge sigs:

 

C4Ds sigs: (Most of you guys already seen it, can be found inside the C4D Showcase topic)

 

Apple Scrap sigs: Sigs I made without using ANY FORM of brushing or C4Ds.

 

Stock sigs:

 

Some Pointless Background Information:

I use Photoshop Cs2 currently. I've been a GFXer for maybe around 4.5 years so far. I enjoy what I do. It's fun and challenging. And I hope to get better, and maybe make it a career?

Mudkipz and the two stock sigs are the best :P

As in you want me to critique his stuff... the stuff that he finds to be his best after working for 4.5 years...

Doing that would like totally cutting him open,tearing his heart out and stomping on it repeatedly.

 

Do it.

God...

 

First:

Those splatters really kill it, removes all the depth and just looks like some cheap effects added on, especially the overcontrasted ones on the left

Outside of the light looks to be rather droll and boring

The scanlines look really bad amd really wouldn't work with this style

The glowing black dots, what do they accomplish other than clashing with the rest?

The green and blue over his arm would've worked in a more colorful tag, but it being such dull colors just makes them seem really out of place

Lights are way too strong

No light coming from the right like the render shows while the light you have doesn't light that area

No depth and blending could use some work

Really bad border

What's with that crown? Really out of place and nonsensicle

"Cry" text doesn't fit in with the style

That kanji and kunai text is really a big no no, it just looks really beyond not belonging

 

Would've been able to say a lot more if I could see the background

 

Second:

Oh dear god is it bright!

Those concentrated lines of brushing around mudkip really seem unnatural and wierd

The background is way too blurry, looks like he's in some land of sludge

Those lines of really sharp parts are just like really staticy and ugly

Pentool doesn't really do anything, especially since it just starts and cuts off at random

The really overcontrasted and bright mudkip copy at the bottom just add some lines, bright areas, and edges to the tag

That coloring around his fin is just really bad

The c4d over his face is really unnecessary and makes him seem miscolored

The c4d over his body just add ugly streaks and make him overcontrasted

Lighting is bad, render shows it coming from above while you have this god awfully bright light coming from behind him

Bad depth, it's just point blank or so far that omniscient beings can't see it clearly

Blending isn't too good

Border is unneeded

"Cry" text is really out of place

Other text is too long and does not blend in with the environment since it's glowing

 

Third:

Not everything has to be brighter than the Sun

Smudging is really staticy and lacking in detail

That black smudging seems really random

I can see there is an ODST, but I can't tell what the other thing is since it's so covered in smudging

Left side looks really overcontrasted, as well does part of the right

Lighting is horrid, it's seems to be coming from everywhere but the focal doesn't have lighting all over

No depth, flow, or blending

Border is no good

All text is really bad, doesn't fit in at all

 

Fourth:

Once more, too bright

Right is overcontrasted like crazy

The lines of dots are really bad

White smudging is overbright and takes away from the rest of the tag

Effects are there but don't really contribute or fit in

Background is rather dull

Really bad job on the border

Text is bleh, font is bad, making it 3d rarely ever works, and putting a stroke around it didn't help

 

Not a lot was there, or the light blinded me to it

 

Fifth:

I see brushing, and this brushing is slightly glowing for some reason... and it looks bad

The background makes it look like he's standing in front of a large pool of water that seems to stand up behind him

He is coming from "The Vortex of Jesus Christ is that bright and overcontrasted", which doesn't seem to fit with the background or him

Background is really monotone and boring

Scanlines are better than before, but still not too good

Bad lighting and bleding, and no depth or flow

Border is bad

The yellow insignia does not fit in at all

Text is rather unfitting and just looks like an ugly branding

 

Sixth:

See above, except now he is in front of a pool of honey, the vortex is closing behind him, there are no scanlines, and there is no insignia this time

 

Seventh:

I see brushing again, this time it isn't glowing though

Those bright wiggling lines around him don't help in any way and actually kind of mess up the flow

I can't really tell what the background is, but it kind of looks like a black pit with this little ugly white line going through it

Rather monotone

Bad lighting, flow, and blending

No depth

Bad border as well

 

Not really much to say since there isn't much there

 

Eigth:

Ooo, this time the brushing is glowing green

His cape's highlights seem to be overly bright

The cape in general seems too sharp

Those wierd lighting shapes don't really fit

He threw down a red ninja smoke screen... and that seems to really be the only thing going on

Background is boring

Border isn't too good

No depth or lighting

That yellow insignia is too small to tell what it is

Text is just nasty

 

Ninth:

Really bright and overcontrasted in quiet a few spots

Too many effects and lights on the right, especially since the focal is showing them coming from the left

Her hand shouldn't be so blurry

Effects on her can't really be seen and just seem to act as covering details without adding anything to the tag

Background is pretty boring

 

Can't really think of much to do

 

Tenth:

Damn his back is bright

Smudging of the scope achieves nothing

Effects going up the arm don't really do anything but add random lines

That c4d on his hand looks like a boxing glove hitting his gun away

Wow that text is really bad, even compared to some of your previous text

 

Probably forgot some things as I went on, but I got a little tired after looking through so many

@Prob OMFG I LOVE YOU!!! THIS IS THE sheet I NEED TO HELP ME!!!

Anyways, thank you, so much for your CnC. I honestly greatly appreciate.

[problematica]

Damn it... it's only fun when people cry about it, otherwise I'm just being helpful =(
