Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Slowly getting better. Very, very slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twenty-five Zero Oh-oh Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 No flow. I would work on this first.I would've blurred the bg a bit more to simulate depth. It would also be nice to see some lighting and some more effects to make the tag more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 'Kay.It's hard for me to work with flow, because I just don't seem to get it >____<Elaborate on how I could add flow, that'd be great. I've been trying to find some more effects to use within the BG, but I'm just trying to work on making a simple tag look great. And then go from there. So far, no results. Lighting is another thing I don't know how to do, which I'll look into soon. And basically, thanks for the CnC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairman ali Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I like the style. But I would prefer you keep colour versions and add coloured effects. The smudge isn't really the best idea to have in this style. Think of anime scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 This is my first time trying to make a black and white sig because the background stock and the render didn't match at all. I tried using some color gradients, but I thought it'd be best to just go with b&w. Though, mkay, I'll go back to colored sigs and work from there. Thanks for the comment. I'll think of anime scenes from now on, that's a good way to get an image in mind for a sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairman ali Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Colour gradients wont work all the time. Use selective colours (you can find it in adjustments) to change and apply better colours to your tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Alright, will do. I'll try that next time. Thanks for the advice. Though, do you have any lighting tips too? I struggle with that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairman ali Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Use a soft brush with BRUSH OPACITY of 20%. Use it to apply darkening and transitions. Then use the same method for light but with a white colour. Set that on soft light and lower the opacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jét Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Needs more contrast to vary shades of black and white, because its too washed out atm. Those pixelly effects in the bg distract from the focal, since the focal is so blurry in comparison. Overall needs a sharpen imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
