.HG asked me to battle free style.. this is what i got lol - v1 - v2 (tried to add a little more lighting and use burn / dodge?) cnc? and go vote on the battle whenever he posts
Fllllllaaaaaaatttttttttt. You've got no light source, and barely any shadow. Flatten it, grab the "Burn" tool, set it to Mid-tones and then darken the edges, and the bit to the right of him. Then -try- to implement some sort of light source, soft white brush on overlay if you really have too. Text isn't great, but it's not terrrrible. Could be good, has some decent textures/blending in it, just needs some depth.
Quality of render sucks, looks like its just brushes for a background and then a c4d slammed on top of him. The text is out-of-line too. Needs better lighting @Broken: why can't he just create a new layer and apply image? does he HAVE to flatten it?
Force of habit on my part, since I generally flatten. No real reason, just happens. (Yah, Apply Image.)
@ ijgk idk how it looks like that because its a lot more =/ some clipping masks, some brushes, a smudged render, a building smudged, a couple color differences and the c4d isn't slammed imo anyways explain how it looks like that? @ broken will try i guess I never been good with depth at all =/ but lighting i put a circle gradient on soft light it was white faded to transparent.. any suggestions on how to improve lighting?
- v2 with more lighting and a little burn / dodge (not to good at burn / dodging it any better broken?
