What program did you use for this? EDIT: Critique Well, you have a few things you could change to improve the signature, I don't know what you use though so I can't give a full critique Focal Point: - There is no focal point, and the way you set this tag up, my eye bounced around so much I have a headache now X_X. So if you were trying to make that hooded figure the center of your tag your effects totally take away from that, use a little bit of a blur to add depth to it, and show what you were going for as the focal point. I don't know what program you used ( I read a few of your other posts, and read that you used a different program than what I do ) so I can't really suggest what to do as to the blurring. - You have your render really low, with as large as this tag is that will really mess up the focal position even fixing it with a blur might still look strange because your eye is more drawn to a level point of few in a signature, in sense I'm saying your render placed so that we are going to look over him to see whats going on behind him instead of looking at him, then viewing the area around him. Background: - The left side is so empty. What I mean by this is that the right makes it look like he's in a cave fill with rocks that are surrounding him in a sense, then the left is just brown with some chains. - Make a rocky background, then use darkness to set the point that its further back or out of view. Text: - The placement isn't perfect and with how fancy you've made it, your pretty much drawing a LOT of attention to it. Keep it more simple and close to the focal point to drawn the eye into it, not away from it.
I use Paint.NET, my options are very limited. I actually wasn't even aiming for a cave like theme . I didn't even think of that. I knew the text would be too much, but I couldn't find anything I liked that actually fit the mood of the piece. Everything in the piece, including the background and images in the sig were made using the original render. For instance the giant stalactite shaped object with chains and what not is actually his horses leg, but I thought it added a nice effect to the piece when it was that close up. The focal was supposed to be the rider and his horse so I juxtaposed them next to each other but It was a bad idea, because people don't know what the focal is now.
Yeah see I thought thats what you used so I wasn't sure. With your text delema it's better to not place text in that you can't find a place for or that you really like, the majority of the time it just lowers the tags quality.
To think you do all of this with paint.net..... I could only imagine what you could produce with photoshop.
Great job it's much better!! I don't really know your limits with paint.net so All I have to complain about anyways, is now everything seems to over lap the render. Kinda bugs my eyes other than that I love it without the text. You should get PS I agree with tren
Thanks everyone . It's odd getting comments like this because I never take myself seriously when I post tags. I don't feel that they are any good .
