Ignore the thing in the top right I thought the background on the right was bland about midway so I tried to spruce it up, didn't turn out well. I'll probably try to touch that up later. However C&C overall, I'm trying to improve soo I really like the way the text turned out too, watcha think? [EDIT] V2 V3
no i dont like the text it need to be blended better in my opinion the colours however are hot but it has contrast issue and seems bland
as artist said nice colours. i love the feel of the tag overall....the text however i think there is too much text there. try make it more...plain but somethign that goes well with the tag. also i think the light source?! (im guessing above the shoulder) is a tad bright in my opinion. try darken up some places give it more depth nice job though. i love it P.S - Where did you get that nice render from ?
Nah bro, text is good. Just move the top half a few pixels closer to the bottom half of the text, so there is a uniform gap between all of the different parts of the text, and move all the text slightly closer to the centre, by maybe 5-7px.
the text being so far away from the focal area, gives to many focal points. and the top right was a bad idea, since with it you have 3 focals... but i like the effects and the way you tried to give it flow with the c4d's it still needs some work, but its a damn fine piece! KIU bro.
Honestly i agree 200% with what dragon said about focals. Initially, i thought that the top right looked great.. then i realized - why am i paying more attention to the top right and the text than Arthas' face?
Having three cascading focals is called creating flow. You're supposed to have multiple focal points that are prioritized from 1st, 2nd, 3rd to draw the viewers eye through the piece. The thing in the top right is a bit weird, but it certainly doesn't ruin the composition. All it needs is just to tighten the text up a bit, and to move it a bit closer to the render, as to pull the emphasis away from the top right.
iv never seen anyone wish to draw your eve to the upper corners of any piece, unless it was ment to be that way and designed to add flow in a piece like this with a Main focal point. that is in keeping with the style of the piece.. it needs only 1 good focal, some nicely placed text since the piece would have a much better focal Area and not multiple focals on one piece.. first time i looked at this piece, i started in the top right corner, then the text.. and lastly the render/focal area for me that isnt flow, its multiple focals that arent needed flow can be created much easier that adding multiple focal points, light, c4d in a directional base and of course the text being close to the render is done why?? so you do not take attention away from the Main focal point.
That's exactly what I meant. It drew your eye through the piece... that's what flow is supposed to do.
You guys are looking way into what I did, I wasn't trying to create multiple focal points or flow. The right side was a little bland about halfway way through (or so I thought) so I took a part of the middle (his left shoulder) rotated and flipped it and tried to create an effect. I'll try to touch it up and I really appreciate all the C&C. I didn't expect such a positive response to this tag. Thanks again guys, I'll try to touch this up and then add a V2.
great piece there but the right side thing is way distracting even u ask us to ignore it and the text too
I added a V2, but I have no idea how to correct the atrocity that is that blue blob Oh well, Live and learn I suppose. In the future I will make sure to avoid random things in corners. You guys have been most helpful sorry I couldn't fix the tag. I'll post another if I get up the drive too, I really don't make signatures as much as I used too. Thanks again
