    Better than your other tags. Border is ugly though :x

    I usually like this kind of invert coloring and what have you, but this is a little too much haha. Tone that down a little bit. Not a lot. Okay.
    Other than that, the first is very nice, compo and coloring are on point.
    Second, pretty sick, but outline the stock a little.
    I Like this style keep at it.

    Oh and about smudging: Get good at it. Real talk; It's probably the most useful tool in photoshop.

    Ah jeez. Well yeah there are some videos out there on, like you said, youtube... but those people are usually beginners as well haha. Maybe you could just try to recreate effects you see in tags... but that would take vast knowledge of your program :x

    Well, you could at least try to get some basics down by reading a few tutorials, then go from there. Even if you don't retain everything, you'll have a place to start ^^
    Sorry, I'm not much help in these cases :(

    Multi stock tags are very tricky... I suggest focusing on one at a time.
    Trust me, you'll probably be able to finish this yourself if you make two separate tags instead of a jumbled one :)

    Just look up some basic tutorials and then go from there brah. You'll learn your program and some basic design techniques.
    NOTE: Do not just paste random renders/pics in your tags.

    Also, try to find effects that compliment the tag. The random liquefying is very out of place and doesn't make me feel like a spirit bomb is about to annihilate my dome. Keep workin' ^^

    I recommend searching for some tutorials via deviantart( not the best place but it works haha) if you are serious about graphics design at all. It'll help you get to know your program more, as well as teach you some basic techniques.

    Lighting is off. Looks like it needs to be more angled. That, and the placement is a little iffy(Right on her head? Doesn't seem to fit too well). I might just be picky but meh.
    This tag looks like you slapped on a few c4d's which isn't so bad, but there's so much more you could do with c4d's than just using them for the meat of the tag. Try out a few c4d tutorials to get a feel for them.
    The text placement is interesting. Not sure how I feel about it haha.
    The rest is alright, a little simple but it's aight. Nice job :}

    At first, try to use as little brushing as possible when it comes to light. Try being subtle and using the dodge/burn tools more than just brushing a blob of light. It looks more natural( not to say that the blobs and stuff are bad, but in most pieces using the dodge tool effectively looks nicer). Once you get the hang of it, you can experiment using multiple light sources and going deeper into that realm.
    Anywho, the tag is nice. Could use some simple depth though. Text could use some work. Don't ask me about what needs to change because I'm horribad at text. The stock could use some cleaning up( I see a few particles that look a little out of place).
    Good stuff, though.

    Thank you, Misty.
    I've always been quite awful with text in my stuff ^^;

    I'm digging the first one. The second.... clipping masks don't always fit, especially with text. Compo could be tweaked slightly but that's just a personal thing. Keep it up brah.

    The first few are well done, but the rest are lacking in composition or are not very appealing. In any case, good work.

    Very minimalistic. It looks a little bland at that. Textures might make this pop out a little more, or even some splashes of color. Alas, I do enjoy tags like these. Good stuff.

    I haven't done much in the way of graphics during the past year or so. Here's the most recent though:
    [​IMG]
    This was an attempt to actually use c4d's again, though I despise using them(unless I were to create the c4d's as well but that is not the case here.)

    [​IMG]
    An attempt to salvage my smudging skills. Not what they used to be but it's aight I suppose. Stock got a little blended in but I don't think it's horrible.

    [​IMG]
    Just got done with this not 5 minutes ago. It's a little abstract and colorful, which I like. It's meaning is simple yet deep. The piece is titled "keeptheballrolling".

    Comment if you wish, or simply enjoy viewing them. <3

    Mahvel, baby?

    It's a shot in the dark, but has anyone here picked this up?
    My opinions on it are very uh... negative. Not up to par with previous Capcom FG titles to say the least.

    Yeah, COD

    COD timeline(COD4-present):
    COD 4 was revolutionary.
    Waw... smh...
    MW2 is the game to play if you want to have fun abusing the game. Not to be taken too seriously.
    Black Ops is the most balanced COD game to date(IMO), but it's not perfect. Can be played more seriously. It's an alright game.
