    Working on stocks..

    With this one i took on Bbri's advice and edited the text (slightly tilting it, changing the colour and lowering the opacity) and i also put it some very light strokes of light coming out of the window.

    Original Stock:

    EDIT: Is the text any good? The font i mean if its shit, tell me.

    I love what you have done with the window light. There was someone here a while back who's whole style was mainly amplifying the light source, Vision probably remembers who, he pointed it out.

    The text, I would probably darken some and maybe reposition.

    I think it looks pretty good but I do not like how the text is so 'out there' I think it stands out a little to much, other that that I like it! I hope your planning on doing what The Dark said and adding some more stuff to it! Can't wait to see it!

    :D Thanks, any ideas where i could reposition the text? I want it to be quite near the focal (window) to not drag your eye away from it but i also dont want it to be far away but like 30% opacity.. Any ideas? When i do the orbs of light and smog and stuff i'll do the text aswell.

    Thanks, i know what you mean i just relised i had it quite high opacity so i'll lower it and maybe reposition it.. Dunno, thanks anyway :)

    Maybe tilt it a little so it's parallel to the bottom of the windowsill(minute detail), fiddle with the opacity some, and change the color to have a little tint of yellow. I'd probably try that, although I'm not great at text really. I usually just play with it until I get something to my liking.

    Looks good when you shaded it and made it look darker makes it blend better.
