V1: V2: V3: this tag pissed me off on the subject of lighting. any help in tht area would be appreciated. big ups to sanity.penguin for the render. note: the person who gives me the best C & C will receive the PSD.
the edges of the effects are very choppy, maybe you should blur them a bit so it looks more natural black n white is better, other one is overcontrasted and bad color scheme. i cant help you much with the lighting but from experience its not great to use white brush for lighting
The "light" overpowers it too much... I like the 3rdversion, though. The colored one doesn't work for me since the image is an entirely different color scheme from the rest of the signature.
I like number 3 alot. The only thing is with the left side of the effects you tried to smudge i think it would look better cleaned cut.
can anyone give me pointers on matching the color of the render to the background?. i kinda want this tag to be in color.
