    I just got finished working on this. I didn't know how time consuming making art was. I was following a tut but half way into it, I abandoned the tut and started experiemting with tools and etc.

    How is the sig? What are some things I should work and impove on? Do you guys have any tips for me to create better work? :laugh:

    criticism appreciated!

    Dude! That's AMAZING for your first signature. I like how you experimented, and I told you it would turn out good. Good Job man. I like how you used clipping masks. Colors are really nice. Text is kinda bad, and the the border is not needed. Try making 1 focal, and blur the background.
    NICE MAN. 10/10 for your first signature.

    VERY Nice, i couldnt do that if i spent a month on it! (Neither could Draucia ;D)
    10/10 :)
    Only bit of critism i could add is remove the border and maybe add some darker colours in there? Would look nice without the effects over the guys face too :)
    Very Nice though.

    Sorry but im not gonna 10/10 you :p

    For your first sig it IS friggin sweet, the problem i think may occur though is it seems you just splattered random stuff. It worked GREAT with that sig but it wont work for everything.

    For THIS sig; The text is the real only thing that can be improved, the background could use some tweaking cause its very crazy but it looks fairly good. That and the clippin mask is eh.

    9.5/10 :p


    On another note: If you did the effect on that render yourself: 15/10.

    Thanks guys for the comments and thanks for some of the tips and points I need to work on.

    Sharping + focal + background I screwed up... Oh and the text is very hard to do but I'll practice!

    @ Color Blind: I'm a random person. I couldn't think of anything not random to go with my "feelings" into this piece lol.

    Pretty awesome, if only I could find my first, it was somewhere on other forums, but they deleted them. :/

    9/10 however.

    I'm not going to be a knit wit and rate it a 10/10. As I see many flaws with it.

    Okay. I have a lot of things to point out. Sure, if it's your first sig, it's nice. But, that doesn't mean you don't have a background in digital art.

    I'm not trying to be rude, but, there are many flaws with it. The first thing I see is the stock placement. It's like, bunched into a corner. Make it more towards the middle, a tiny bit to the left. The background is a very boring plain c4d. It should be something simple. For a render as chaotic as that, you should have chosen a darker background. Something like a very dark gray.

    The color scheme should be WAY different. The yellow distracts observants from the focal. There is way too much yellow. You should even out the colors. The clipping masks are good for a beginner, but, nonetheless could be improved. Use more of the colors from the render to make a nice balance.

    You don't have a definite lightsource, but, one could be easilly added. Oh, and always sharpen a sig when you're finished with it. It makes it look a lot nicer. Just work on everything I've listed. Oh, and up the contrast a bit. A good way to do that is by getting a black and white gradient map, and setting that to luminosity normally on 100%.

    Note, this is only constructive criticism. I'm not yelling at you ;).
