Nothing to fancy. Haven't been able to use Photoshop for awhile.... kinda out of practice, wanted to make something that wasn't overly flashy. I thought it came out pretty nice. So go ahead and rate/hate on it.
Alright, i am not going to lie to you. This tag looks as though you just took a focal, and smudged it for the background. Then took the same focal, and slapped it on, and added some text. Then again, there is nothing wrong with a little simplicity Next time, however i suggest you try a tad harder.. because judging by the tag your wearing now, you can do much better. .. BTW Assassins Creed is the best game i have ever played TBH ..
Focal - The main focus in a tag or signature Render - The main focus in a tag or signature .. They are the same thing ..
It's poorly made, as said in previous comments. And, also said in previous comments, is that the render is too large. The text and logo on the right look good though. The background is boring as well. So, pretty much, work on everything except the logo/text. There's overly bright areas on it too. Try toning down the size of the render for one, finding a tutorial or something on how to make a background, but keep the logo/text.
Not really. The focal is the focal point / main focus in a tag, the render is the character, person, or abstract that you paste into the tag. In some render tags, and effect or rarely the text is the focal. The render is usually the focal, but not always, so they aren't the same thing.
insert big lolz here Render = image with transparent background cut from a wallpaper, screenshot, or concept art. Focal = the focussed spot in the work which draws the viewers eye first. big ass difference there, mate.
