Don't leave gradient maps on "Normal" unless you're using black and white. Because that results in a dull looking tag
I think it looks pretty good with those gradients, just a bit high intensity is all. BTW, mrvl, if you want more CnC, then commenting on other people's work is just what you need to do!
not much of fan of this one. it may just not be my style but i dont like how all the light is going one way over the render
Hadouken, that may be helpful but just telling him what you think is wrong with it isn't really giving very good CnC... lol You really have to experiment with gradient maps. Colors look good to me. Composition isn't bad either. But i would recomend trying to create a better focul. Right now, the render looks covered up by all the effects and it causes your eye to sort of "wander" around the tag. It's better to create a sharp, visible point (a face, weapon, top of a render, etc) than to have too much effects. Good work though. Let's see some more. I'll try to CnC as much as possible. I haven't had the time lately though. -_-
I think its good work, as Hadouken said, the GM is a little strong...I think if you would of cleared off the effects in front of the focal, it would of turned out much much better. I actually like the coloring the way it is, maybe saturate it and then lighten the gradient...other than that, very nice work.
uhm they all said what you need to do...like hoplite said try to make a visible point and the GM have eaten your render... edit your render and post the outcome!
