have quit doing it for like 2years, found a really nice render and thought i would have a go at making a sig... c&c appreciated
this isn't the fashion industry guys styles do tend to come and go, but that doesn't mean they are bad. overall, i thinks flat, pixel stretch and render re-use are fine for the bg, but its pretty simple. (sure this sounds similar to what they said i just don't like seeing it compared to "styles being trendy or not" ) you can use whatever style you want, but you can still improve a little and tutorials would help you there ^_^
I was saying techniques because the flow is messed up by the bg and the bg has no depth. I don't mind the style, but I think he needs techniques like creating flow, lighting, depth, etc. I rushed that last comment. Muh bad on that one.
That one seems a bit too dark at some parts and it is not possible to see the render completely clearly. Try to blur the background a bit to create some depth and may add some adjustement layers.
It's not horrible. But the effects do seem a bit bleh. The big motion blur on the left kills the flow imo. Also, I would say the blending tends to just mush in to the render and the focul's paying for it. Check out some of the other sigs here and get some tips. There's a lot of awesome new techniques. ^_^ Just look at Deacu's beauties. <3
