.Rai Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 It's alright. The text is a little low-quality. I'm not sure whether you meant for the grainy background but it looks quite good. The only problem is that there's no depth. It's just a render with no apparent light source plonked onto a background. Good but needs improvement.

Sotos Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Well, the text is the easiest to fix. And I did intend to go for grainy in the background... The depth was my bigger problem with it, but I couldn't possibly think of something... Any suggestions? And about the light, I think that more light would be too much light, and I don't want to darken the rest of the tag... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catman25 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Light source is a bit too strong, and the text strays too far from the focal. And there doesn't seem to be too much going on here; it lacks wow factor. Read some tutorials and stuff and keep at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotos Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I know about the light source, I intended it to be a little too strong... About the text, I placed it there because otherwise it would be too empty on the left... Any ideas about a wow factor and / or how to add some depth without screwing it?

Catman25 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 With the text, I suggest leaving it out unless you get to a sufficient level of tagging, but you could keep it closer to the focal. When someone looks at a tag, you want their eyes to naturally go towards the focal, which shouldn't be stand-alone text. And if that empties the left side, so be it. Add some more effects, but you don't need to fill the entire tag for it to look good. For depth, I can't explain to in depth (haha pun), but you should use different amounts of sharpening and blurring, to create a tag that has a clear foreground, but a visible background, that is almost far away in a sense. http://www.layeredgfx.com/forums/photoshop-tutorials/3642-ultimate-depth-tutorial.html It's for photoshop, but it covers the same aspects.

EHN. Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Wyvern shouldn't be to the right so much, the bg is mono imo. Calm down the lighting and scrap the text, do what catman says with the text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
