My SOTW Entry [inspiring song lyrics/words go here]

I wish I could pull off make the title some beautiful song lyric, or maybe a really artistic statement - but I can't do that... I always come out looking like a douche bag. I've also come to realize, that if my thread has an offensive word in its title, I'm bound to get 10x the views.

Anyho! Here's my latest entry to SOTW.... I might redo it, I've got plenty of time till the deadline.

V3


As always, CnC and feedback are much appreciated.
Cheers.

 

It's simple. If I were you, I'd use more effects. Add more contrast. The focal looks very transparent, btw.

 

I was just thinking about that.... it looks like nothing is going on, although the funny thing is there's so many layers in the PSD that I'm finding it hard to navigate D:
That's true... her left shoulder looks see-through, and whatever filters are across her face give her a ghost-like appearance. I'll fix that up now in some areas.
I tried to avoid overdoing the contrast, as in my last signature a lot of people pointed out that it had TOO much contrast... but if I rub away some of the filters from her face, it should rectify the problem on this one.

I'm struggling to think of what to add though... any suggestions? Haha.

 

You could try adding some splatter brushes.

 

I really like the colours and the atmosphere you're going for, but I think the render placement is the limiting factor for this tag - it's just difficult to fit any kind of effects in there, and keep it looking nice at the same time. Try making it smaller, or use a larger canvas and it might be a lot easier to add effects and such

 

I made a V2, added to it a little - cleared up the area around her face and rubbed away some of the filtering in certain sections.
Yea, I semi-fucked up with the stock... I began, and about halfway through I realized I didn't like it's position but by then it was too late. I guess I just have to remember for next time
Anyhow, would you say the new one is an improvement?

 

Shit, that's impressive. Like seriously, the effects and colours and everything are just stunning, never mind the stock placement. Seriously thats one of the best I've seen lately

 

Thankyou
Seriously, that actually means a lot to me coming from you... you may be newer to the section, but I respect you highly as a Graphic Artist.

 

Haha just one more thing, slap out some burn tool in the area below her chin (left) for a little more depth and It's literally perfect.

 

looks great, nice effects but woulda been better with a bigger image on a bigger canvas imo

 

If you've got problems finding your layers try and label + group them, makes it a whole load easier.
And ehm for the tag itself.
I love the flow, lightning looks good. Maybe try and smoothen the transition from light to dark at the right corner. That would be the only thing I noted that was really wrong.

Also maybe try your luck by adding text and seem if it works out, and maybe a border.

GOODJOB!
