SkullSplitter Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 @pipp92: Nice job. The effects look good but the background could be better. I'm gonna be a bit nitpick-y. I don't think the smudgy things coming from his left shoulder fits there but it looks good nonetheless. I don't like how the lines were cut off on the left side of his head. Try to blur it a bit so it's less visible. The concrete column at the far left kinda annoys me. It doesn't fit there. Other that that, very good.

Blooper Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I don't like the wireframes at all, or the orange C4Ds. The smudging is good, you should add more and set it to color dodge or additive; it seems dirty right now because it's black. Of course CD/Additive won't do anything if there's any bright parts in your smudging, so you should try throwing some yellow or olive green in there before smudging. Though you also need some black in it, color dodge looks better with a black background than with a transparent one. If you want to use C4Ds/wireframes for such a static tag (the stock has no action in it), flow should be "slow" and short as opposed to "fast" and long, you don't want to use c4ds/wfs with long lines. If you did the color work (gradient mapping etc.) on the stock yourself, I tip my hat to you. I agree about the concrete wall, you should try getting rid of it and continuing the metal fence and the sky. All in all, a good start, but also a lot of room for improvement :] Quote http://synthastic.deviantart.com http://soundcloud.com/siderealenterprise Lockerz invites are available, PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yy10 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Awesome, Pipp! I wish I could make something like that. anyone like my first successful smudge sig>? Quote deviantART sigs n stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkullSplitter Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I like it. Nice colors, and the effects look good. The left side is better, in my opinion. The smudging on the right side looks a bit overdone. The only flaw I see is the blue-green smudge on the far right. It doesn't fit at all. Change it to purple like the rest and it will be much better. Good job. Quote My gallery Spider-man signature tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthous Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Awesome, Pipp! I wish I could make something like that. anyone like my first successful smudge sig>? I have to agree with the above. The teal/blue/green or whatever smoke doesn't fit in with the rest. As far as I can tell it looks good for anything besides that. Keep it up . I think this is my first decent grunge signature What ya think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blooper Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Awesome, Pipp! I wish I could make something like that. anyone like my first successful smudge sig>? It's not very successful, it's messy. Look at Pipp's Banks tag, you see how the smudging is shaped (not the texture, the triangle shape of it)? This is what you should be going for. Not smudging all over. Try a hard round brush, 50% quality, 10-15px. :wink: Quote http://synthastic.deviantart.com http://soundcloud.com/siderealenterprise Lockerz invites are available, PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flip Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 The highlight line is kinda blurry. I think it would look better sharp.. like this: Anyway, I'm going to try and make one or two good render sigs. Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkullSplitter Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 The render is too bright and doesn't blend in with the background at all. Change the color of the background so it fits the render (or vice versa). The background looks flat with no depth so the render looks pasted on. There's no real flow. There's too much empty space to the left, in my opinion. I dislike the white pixels around Spidey's bright spots. It's not all bad, though. I like the fractal you put under the text and the background looks pretty good. Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh :?

mikeyv121 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 The Spiderman render is way to bright compared to the dull background. I happen to like the white pixels but I think their opacity should be a bit lower. My first real attempt at smudging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yy10 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Wow...is that really your first try, mikeyv? It's awesome! But I think the background is a bit weird. But I like it! Anyone like this?

pipp92 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 the depth is good effects are ok but the render would be fit better if it would be a bit more in the middle the bg on the right side looks kinda weird kiu new one: getting better at this smudge style i think Quote Personal Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

007 Nab Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I like the Witchking one - especially the colors. Cool effects Pipp, are you using custom smudging brushes?

sokagirl Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 That's a huge avatar nice job on it but I think the color should be different than purple for the background because it makes it hard to see the lady and the border color doesn't match :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
