lol at my fucked title xD

 

Love the first two, the last one is just meh.

 

I agree

really amazing work though!

 

I really like the second one, the third one is pretty good too but it should be sized down to be the same size as the others.


Good work .

 

Might want to put a watermark on it.

I like the first a lot, 3rd a bit, and no love for the 2nd.

 

Love them all, even the third. Was always a sucker for that style.

 

1st ones best for me

 

1st is my favourite. 3rd doesn't really 'gel' with the background if y'kno what i mean

 

Hey Trey.

First is quite nice, but I was never a fan of random 1px lines unless the style was of a geometric nature. Don't get too carried away with them unless you 100% think it belongs there - this being due to the fact that I think the two lines were added in order to salvage the flow that the effects don't really achieve. That brings up an issue with the execution, as whilst the effects are nice, they don't suit the composition (due to their shape - if anything I'd say the effects aren't really accentuating a "top left to bottom right" diagonal sorta flow which would prove real nice with the stock you got there). Splatter effects are quite nice, though look how much sharper they are in the bottom right hand side of the piece compared with over her - small differences like that separate the two sides and make it less realistic as a tag. Colours could be more daring, depth could be better executed (it's just a smudge here and there along with a little blurring and all), though it isn't a bad tag.

Biggest issue with the first is as I said - the 1px lines only being there to compensate for flow that you could create in more imaginative ways (try pentooling/colour flows/etc).

Second is far nicer a tag. Immediately remove the 1px lines again (as I'm not too fond of them in this circumstance either) - though the effects and the composition flow much nicer here. It reminds me a little of Alex's (AgainstAll) style, and it's a pretty cool result on it too. Only thing I'm not liking is the difference in shadow tone near the stock's head and elsewhere, as well as the stock's head and surrounding area looking kinda LQ. Nonetheless this is the most pro out of all three tags - all I would personally add is more highlighted effects and spice that shit up, but that's just my personal taste.

last tag is pretty common atmospheric style, and it's pretty nicely done - however it nearly always results with a WIP feel, a simple as fuck composition and it doesn't really stand out.

Overall advice is spend more time on your tags. Try go further with each one, and try be more creative with concept etc.

I liked the 1st and 3rd one, the 2nd 1 is alrightish.

 

that negative space

 

What kind of bullshit c'n'c is this? Who cares what you like or not, you're meant to be helping him improve.

Grrr.

 

Woah, didn't expect to get this kind of critique on sythe haha. These my first tags after like a 4-5 month hiatus as I've been working on my film photography..

I've been lurking around tagfreak but i haven't really settled in anywere yet lulz.

 

I haven't tagged in a while either, IRL time constraints mean that I have to prioritise less time to my own luxuries but hey, when I retire maybe
