I'm still new at this.


Would like some feedback on this.

border seems thick, sig looks flat, bit too many lightsources. other than that looks really good.

7.5/10

Incorporating your text into the image more would be my first piece of advice. One nice method I enjoy is by layermasking and somewhat altering the content of the mask. I would also give some lighting contrasts. The whole piece is bright with no dark areas. In art our eyes are most attracted to the greatest contrasting areas. Also, since you use two capital letters in your name, I suggest making it appear in either all lower, or uppercase form.

Here are just a couple adjustments I did to illustrate what I mean.

[RogueKiller]

Better?
Thinner Border.
Moved text. I personally didn't like the text being so big.
More contrast?

so with layermasking, you first make the text then use that for a
clipping mask?

[Rizla]

its overcontrasted now, be a bit more selective on where you're cranking the contrast. Use the contrast to guide our eyes where you want them.

yeah cin, lol I meant clipping mask not layer mask Ive been in shitty gen ed classes for 3 months :/

[RogueKiller]

Cranked the contrast down a bit.
Better? Or still over contrasted?

[Rizla]

I would tone it down a bit more where the shadow from her arm is cast on her breast.

edit. some light blurring on the sides where its oversharpened would be a nice touch imo. its grabbing my eyes away from your name and focal point (the girl)

[RogueKiller]

Slightly brighter under her arm.

[Rizla]

much better than the first draft!

i like the 3rd one the best, the contrast really helps
