Ended up with somethin' pretty different here. New style for me, tell me how to improve please. It has a lack of effects right now, I know it.
looks like a pic of a guy behind a tablecloth.. maybe im missing something? describe what you did... im probably focusing at all the wrong places
It's too repetitive and boring. It needs a lightsource and depth as well. Like you said, needs fx as well.
Rendered the guy and used clipping mask to make the exact pattern I wanted as a background. Then I corrected the lightning over his face. I played with the text tool to make an effect around him, used the same word « sadness ». Last step was to add different pattern on multiply (minor changes on the background). Using a soft blue brush, I made a little bit of color cuz I found it monotomne, now I am looking to awesome fx to add on it. Any ideas ?
To me, only the text looks great. It's probably one of your rare i dislike. Btw your render looks like he wants to quit life ASAP.
Hmm.... I don't know bro. All that black and white makes the focul really inneffective imo. I agree with CarpeDiem, maybe try several different patterns and mix it up with some colors. Also, text is very unreadable. :| It's got potential, but it looks flat and unfinished right now.
