New Style

Followed a paid tut I got here.



C&C welcome!

Edit: Free tut apparently!

 

Ehh. Its a bit to sharp in the middle and the smudge looks bland and not that hard.

Keep it up though.

What program are ya running with?

 

CS3 extended.

Yeah the sharpness I was going to remove and then saved and uploaded.

Then I was like s%it.

Oh well.

The smudging wasn't hard all that much expect for the color picking.

 

Try copying visible, blurring the background, and slightly sharpen the render.

Then use a color balance to simplify the color.

Also, use splatter brushes and "Smudge" brushes for smudging, it looks great with enough jitter and spread.

 

I used Grunge Brushes. Most on default.

 

Hrmm. Try DLing some splatter and smudge brushes, drop em to a reasonable size a fiddle with em, then PM about what you think, you might like the outcome of alot of them

 

its nice but the smudge is abit bland.its still nice.6/10.

 

bg isn't bad, quite nice smudging (could be better ). try match your render with background colors. render looks like you just throw it into image.

 

The render doesn't flow with the background. Work on blending and overall flow. Fair tag though.

 

Thanks all.

I have never gone back to work on a signature to make it better but this one might just deserve it!

 

smudging is just one of those things that takes patience.
but indeed its a nice tag overall....

 

Too sharp in the middle IMO

next time go fade sharpen

 

Agreed.
