My First Render!

know i goofed up a little around the tip of the spear..

 

That great for a 1st render. The only fault i c is the spear thing like u said...you should fix it.

 

thanks i appreciate all feedback.. flame if you want! praise is fun too..

 

Good job for a first.

There is a small outline in some places (could be because of the original pic, which I would love to see btw...) and a bit choppy sometimes too.

But it's still a good render.

 

the original would just make me look like more of a nooblet.. the background was just an off-white/eggshell color. I chose it because i thought it would be an easy start. I'm working on another rightnow that has a gradiated background. Should be posting it soon.

I'm still not used to using the pen tool. The last time i used it was in Illustrator 5. And as retarded as it may sound, it doesnt work the way i remember. So i end up making about a bajillion (that's the technical term, yes) smaller cuts. Any suggestions?
