Simping For Hina Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Sorry, I don't rate showcase work. Anyways the left bottom corner is completely distracting from your render choice. The text can be gone, it doesn't help the sig that much. And it is kind of monotone with there barely being blue and the other stuff is from the render. Blend it in together a little more.

Lunar Origins Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Well, I didn't mean [rate], just meant tell me what I could do to make em better XD The first was my first time experimenting with Gradient Map, haha XD But yeah, I'll do a little revision to the first one.

Simping For Hina Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Gradient maps are on of the greatest tools, it helps you with blending and can easily change the entire theme of the items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti-Apocryphal Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 The flow is nice in the first; I like the first. Where-as the second one the lighting seems to be screwed up. It seems to take away from the focus of the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 For the second one I had my brother over my shoulder, telling me what looked good and bad ;-; (He's 7, and is obsessed with anything having to do with guns and the color red XD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 The second one is actually good, it has good flow, the render is just too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCÂ Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Text doesn't look too good on either, the brushing in the lower left corner on the first one takes away from the rest of the sig. I don't particularly like the bg on the second one, but that's just my opinion. Though I can see in a lot of your tags you use the Winter breeze brushes, they do make a good effect but after a while it can get repetitive.

Kuroda Kaito Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Well both tags need some depth, and i love the blending on the 1st one, and the 2nd one, you can just lower the darkness at the bottom right to make it less LQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 The first is quite good. One of the reasons why I love gradient maps is that they make everything look good. Not particularly keen on the text though. The second is just a little burnt out and LQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 I've created 1 more signature, with 2 variations... well, here they are.

Icy Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Full render? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted August 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 You want the renders I've used? Well, alright, here is a link to the last one that I've used. [url="http://www.renderat.com/mio-render-2/"]http://www.renderat.com/mio-render-2/[/url] And the others... well, I have them saved on my other computer along with the links. Top one is from Renderat, while the bottom one is from Planet Renders. That's all I can say for now. Also, if anybody wants it, I can upload the .psd.

Icy Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Try and remake that, but as a 300x300 Icon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want that, may I ask? I'm just a bit curious. We are talking about my current one, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yes we are. And I ask that because your picture has no motion to speak of and doesn't tilt well, making it a poor choice for signature tag purposes. But it's perfectly fine for a square icon, or vertical signature (but that's for another time) and you might as well get the most practice out of it as possible.

K-On!! Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 It's pretty! Well, I don't have much experience with GIMP. But I'll try. I think that the Hard Light setting you put on one of the lines in the BG looks nice, But it's also a bit distracting from the render. And I hope you don't mind me saying this, but isn't the focal a BIT too big? Oh well , nvm I like No.2 much better, but that's just my point of view.

The render isn't very dynamic, I know. I tried to make do cuz I really like the render XD Well, thank you for the honest opinion. I appreciate it. I'll try to work on that icon when I finish up all my current requests. [quote name='K-On!!' timestamp='1314847517' post='5483052'] It's pretty! Well, I don't have much experience with GIMP.

Although I am not using GIMP, I am using Adobe Photoshop. The focal is a bit big (Are we talking about 2?), I can agree with that. I don't think I set the layer to hard light, but I'll check whenever I get a chance at my dads house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
