Charge@!

[poehalcho]

I said I'd practice for the contest

Sig #7: Charge@!


C&C, I'd like to know how I handled light, text and shadows ;D
note: bandana is handdrawn (except pattern and skull)

this was my source image

Spoiler!

[Shomari]

light is off.
bandanna looks ok
Bunny looks burnt. hes way off to the side as well. (keep in mind most ppl scan from left to right)
no tonal balance. colors are kinda screwy.

Just do what I did and still do - Ignore text.

D:
that's like the opposite of what I was expecting to hear

so how can I improve? what's wrong with the light and colours?
also, mind giving it a grade ? it helps me judge in what way it might be wrong.

I don't want to sound harsh but: C-

Spoiler!

look at this from a greyscale viewpoint and you'll see there are a very little amount of whites in your sig.
try to keep it 33% for each (give or take)

The bunny and that sun are also fighting for attention.
maybe if you put the bunny on top - that might help.

I guess the colors are alright - I myself just don't like them.

C- is being a bit forgiving.

For someone who doesn't do sigs a lot, I think you did a decent job with it. Yes, Shamori did hit a lot of spots but I think it has its appeal. Reminds me of Kung-Fu Ragdolls from PS3. lol

[rek]

no one mentioned corner text?

[poehalcho]

no one mentioned corner text?

I tried various positions, but I could really find any better spot. I tried without it as well, but then it just looked empty
I was aware of the imperfection so instead I tried to turn down the opacity somewhat, so it doesn't stick out too much.

Oh shit.. this bunny is so frickin creepy. xD

Well, the background somehow doesn't fit. Really!

[poehalcho]

too red perhaps?

[*BlackFox]

Well, Just do it.. xD
