I was working on this for the last Hour or so. My first attempt at this style, so advice/CnC is appreciated.
My advice: dump the style This style is old, shows a lack of skill and is generally unappealing. Downloaded dA brushes tend to be the death of gfx beginners , stop using dled brushes and either start smudging or pentooling (takes more time and creativity then smudging). Sorry for sounding harsh, but believe me, I am giving you a good advice here...
it does look nice, the red and purple compliment each other nicely, and it is appealing to the eye, but I agree with xidon, a few circles here and there, with some lines doesn't reveal any skill......I suggest looking up a/another tutorial because this one looks to be missing any/ a lot of flow
Well, your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness in this sig. I like all the colors, and the lines, and the style, but similarly, there is too much going on in the sig for me to see somethings...I barely saw the headphones. Maybe increase contrast? Other than that, its great.
I came here thinking someone made me a present xD Xidon i think you're being a bit rash, i rather like the style, sure it's been done to death by other people but hell it's not like this person does it badly or anything, it's quite well put together. I don't like the black bars how ever, they kinda draw attention to themselves and ruin the pictures effect. Great otherwise.
This style was awesome back in the day. I used to be pretty good at it. I only made a few tags with this style but eh... it's pretty cool imo. The green brush parts could go or be brightened a tad. And if you plan on using this style, it wouldn't hurt to use a full border on this. Or none at all.
An old kind of style. More of a beginner one. I remember me doing those. You can't really critique these kind of tags, since they actually HAVE everything, but isn't presented in an appealing matter. Look further onto smudging, color treatment, and various styles. Oh ****. She didn't ask that. Xidon beats most of us in skills here kiddo. He's a monster when it comes to this ****. I can't say he's the best on these forums, but really high on top over here. If he posts one ****, you'd have an orgasm amirite?
Ok, after taking all of your advice into consideration, I came out with this. I dimmed down the light source, added some contrast to the render, and retired the border. Better or worse?
I like this, the red and purle compliment nicely and again i agree the brightness in the middle seems TOO bright thank you, that is better
New version is better, but those green/gray brushes are killing it. Brighten them and add color to them. Preferably a soft yellow-ish color (like a cream maybe). Otherwise it looks much better.
