Two focals and Long text. BAD!

 

Those are both strict no-no's.

[PrimalFear]

Zero, It was aiming for that specific text. I was just testing my abilities. I also have little knowledge about GFX as I just started so I'm learning as I go that is why I have two focals.

ill try not and be rude.

Ok, well, first of all, dont use text.

Dont use multiple renders.

The colors and Lighting are eww.

And on the First one what is behing the guy on the left?

There is no depth or flow.

 

So, do not use multiple focals (Points of interest that catches the eye).

The bg and effects do not flow with the render.

 

I suggest Reading this tutorial, as it would help you, alot.

Ok' date=' well, first of all, dont use text. [b'] Then what should I use[/b]

Dont use multiple renders. I guess I understand that now

The colors and Lighting are eww. I agree, but since I'm new I cannot figure everything out so easily.

And on the First one what is behing the guy on the left? I'm not even sure what your reffering too.

There is no depth or flow. I wasn't trying for depth or flow it was more of a try and see what everyone suggests I need to work on.

 

So, do not use multiple focals (Points of interest that catches the eye).

The bg and effects do not flow with the render.

1. Just dont use text at all untill you have proper gfx knowledge on how to use it correctly.

 

2. Its ok, lighting still hasnt came to me that well yet.

 

3. The low quality shiz behind the black and white render.

[PrimalFear]

Thanks, and as for what your talking about It was an inverted version of the right side. but the pixelation is alot more noticible with it being white.

[So Legit You Quit]

ah, Well dont do it again, It honestly looks like poo.

If this is the style you were attempting on purpose, this is not a tag. It is a banner. Bad Colors and composition. Horrible Renders.

 

That's all I say.

Render is LQ as stated above, double focal, no lightning, depth or flow.

When you pick out a render you'll probably see if it's LQ or HQ, an LQ render can be choppy or just LQ and blurry. Remove the clone of the focal and place the focal were you want those who look at this tag to concentrate on (Example is: Ichigo's determined face). You can add lightning many ways, one simple way is to use a Soft brush 300px and brush it near the focal to add a lightning source, then you can use the burn tool to darken the corners and the dodge tool to lighten the focal. Depth can be added by using the blur tool to create an reality imagination, blur maybe over the focal or around it based on if it's a stock or a render with a manipulated background. Flow is how the render and BG follow the same direction, in order to have such result you can use different tools and filters, example for this is motion blur or distort.
