Since he asked for it, I'll give it to him...and since he logged off of MSN, I'll post it here. Also, the white lining around the render was on purpose. This is a lie. Also, I might edit this later. V2:
I love all the colors!! they mix well with the picture, and the black lines make the colors stand out even more. 10/10 I love this
Jube is going to love it 8D The render is perfect, and the warm blend of colors really defines the sig. 10.5/10
The quality of the tag in general is choppy. The effects are messy, and those thick, black effects should be smoother and more crisp. They don't really add to the other effects. They look more like a random throw in. The colors are boring and saturated. I understand that they're more snags from the color of the stock, but I'd suggest to find stronger color compliments rather than just staying to those dusty oranges, browns, etc. Then the background being divided between two different colors throws off any symmetry that the tag might've had. It still needs a lot of work, overall.
Yeah, well, the render was choppy in the first place. And the black effects were from stroke to selection of a sparks brush on the sig. Well, the render it's self is mellow, so why not mellow colors to match? It's called a gradient.
If something's mellow, you spice it up with a different color to make the focal stronger. You can change the direction of any stock, including its composition. It's just boring to me, imo. And the gradient doesn't help it. Of course I know what that is, lmfao. I think you can do better <3
I like the background better in the second one. The effects are extremely well done in both of them. The stock is in pretty good quality too. I like it alot. 10/10
That's never, ever an excuse. If you find a render you like that is choppy, you either fix it yourself or move on. Never blame your tools. As for blaming the stroke of those black lines on the brush... Well, ever thought of using a different brush? I agree with Beaux; the colors make the signature very boring. There are websites out there with color palettes that you might want to look at.
Actually, I think I just saved it in the wrong format. It's supposed to be .png not .jpg...so yeah. Alright, I'll try to find to do better next time.
