Official Graphics Comments & Criticism

[Aedus]

Hmm, well the thought did come to mind. I'll probably give it a go when I get a chance.

Here's a new request I just finished:



Only part I'm not happy with is the Toon Link render, seems rather monochrome. Thoughts?

That's pretty good, just the text is out of place I think. Cant fault the rest

@Cappin : The sig lacks in contrast. You've made the whole tag green, which doesn't look good. I don't think you've done much, just added a render, maybe a C4D in the background, a tech brush or 2, some scanlines and some text, and the overall execution is poor. You need to have effects in your sigs, otherwise it looks as though (or maybe even the case) that you've barely done anything. Learn how to work with C4D's and smudging first, these are some of the basic things you need to learn. Then it's not just about learning how to use them, it's about execution in your sigs. It's simple to just brush on a tech brush and think 'yeah that looks alright,' you have to make it look good, and be happy with your work, not just hope that others will throw out compliments.

It wasn't meant to be anything amazing, just a play around. Unlike some here I'm not a GFX beast so don't spend hours pixel erasing... I've attempted C4Ds and fractals in the past and didn't want them in this tag. I don't expect compliments, I want to hear every flaw about it just like before when Tyler made tags I would only say what is bad.

Leave it if you're going to keep assuming things.

Then DQ...It has to be made between submission thread opening and closing.

@Gikoku : Nice smudging, but the style is whored. Though I feel you've executed it quite well, I agree that the render doesn't blend very well with the background (not due to your blending, simply 'cause of what the render is.

Anyway, I've been working on a sig (potentially gonna turn into a collab on another site, though I'm tempted to finish it myself), it's still a WIP (work in progress), still got the colours and depth to work on, but just thought I'd see peoples thoughts on the effects and such.

Bosh:

Thanks, Wiired. Yeah, I can tell the style is whored unfortunately, I posted it over at PR, and didn't get a single comment on it.

About the sig: Looks pretty good, but there's alittle too much in the way, probably due to the placement of the C4D that makes it look kinda messy, ya know?.. A gradient map might help also.

ok then i just wont enter that...but once again i shall ask when does the new one start
