great tag, you beat me to it though, just got this vector and was about to make a tag something similar to this
all in all i'd say i like the second image better,even tough there are alot of things that it is missing which the first one has. in this picture i've marked all the things i like and dislike in green(like) and red(dislike). by dislike i mean that only in comparison to the other picture,i'd say overall both tags are very well made. 1:very minor detail,but i think it looks better if u take this out of the picture as in the second one,since i personally believe it distracts from the "main parts" of the vector. 2: I like the way this blends the vector in very much. to me it feels as if something is missing at this position in the second picture. 3: Can't really tell why I like this,but this just looks better than the "empty" space in the second picture. 4: Also a minor detail,like the first thing I said. 5: Here it looks like you wanted to take it out of the picture,but left it in half the way. I personally dislike this kind of half-assed removals.Ignore this if u want since it's just my personal oppinion. 6: Seems to sharp,the second picture looks way better there. 7: This small green thing fills some empty space in a good way. thats always a good thing 8: Once again,seems to sharp. 9: This "half-seethrough" part just messes me up, I really really hate it.anyway it's just a personal oppinion so feel free to ignore this if you want. 10: Here the generally sharper picture number one is a bit blurrier than the second picture. I like that because it feels abit smoother. 11: Fills empty space,in a good way. 12: A bit blurry. I prefer to have sharpened fonts. Personal oppinion i guess so feel free to ignore. 13: Seems very empty,since the black tone doesnt change at all,I also dislike that part in the first picture,but it's a bit better there. 14: A bit too bright. 15: Seems too sharp. 16: Too bright once again. Hope this helps in any way and sorry for altering your pictures . Naturally i won't use this anywhere else but in this post.
Wow Btray, thanks for all that I'll definitely take another look here when I get back from class and probably change some things, I appreciate all the time you put into it I wouldn't suggest doing it 100% of the time though, you'll drive yourself nuts ^_^ thanks again
I won't don't worry, it's just that i'm kinda sick atm so i've got alot of time at hands and i felt it somewhere deep inside myself that this work couldnt be criticized any shorter. normally i might not have bothered posting because it'd have take me that long but anyway.
Thanks but please don't hijack my thread for flaming etc. I'm kinda a moderator and such and don't tend to take a liking to those sorts of things. Thanks for the comments though ^_^ Please keep them to c&c on my post though, not on btray's c&c.
I like the concept and the sig, but the bottom one is a bit oversharpened, and I dislike the blur you have on the purple squiggly on the first one. So if you like took the second signature's sharpen down a notch, it would be awesome .
(snip) (snip) (snip) Besides what I said above: great depth; it progressively and noticeably gets closer from left to right. Good lighting; but I don't think that's your fault because you worked off a sweet render. I think that your custom shapes look a little out of place but you can fix that if you introduce some of the highlight and shadow colors into them. As for the second version, you don't need a c4d because you're mint without it and it takes away from the lighting that I like. mint is fresh -------------------- <div align="center">You know I gotta impress all you cool GR guys.</div>
