Actually tried a signature. Me working with smudging=fail. I really like the stock though, so tell me how to improve ^_^ Do not comment on the border, Its going to change to a 1px later V.2 Edited. To tell the truth, i didnt have a light source in the first. Thats because of me exploring with the burn tool. Lol. I think I got the lightning right this time around.
Its not bad, the first thing i find annoying is the border. Its very big and seems like a waste of space. Now i really like the direct focus you have on the render. Very clear and sharp focal. But it seems to me that u have created a nice beginning for a background, but to spice this tag up a lot i think u should bring some rather strong effects into the foreground. Try adding a few C4ds above the render and background layers then spatter smudging them to create some effects similiar to those around his nose in the foreground. Erase any effects that overlap the render, and maybe erase away parts of the effects themselves or blur them to cement their place in the tag. Lighting wise you are a bit off. Look at the render. The shadows on his face suggest the lightsource to be above and slightly to the right of him. Basically flip ur current lighting source vertically and you would be a lot more accurate. Overall its a nice suave b/w tag. Good work.
I like it, Nasuul hit all the important stuff... (everything. lol) The lighting was qhat caught my eye. Looks too bright everywhere. Keep it up bro. Love your style.
Added V.2 This is the first time I used the criticism, and actually liked the outcome also.. To tell the truth, i didnt have a light source in the first. Thats because of me exploring with the burn tool. Lol. I think I got the lightning right this time around.
Not loving the smudging; gives a weird hazy look that covers everything up. Work on lighting, effects, and darken BG with BURN.
