Hmm...well i'll be as nice as possible seeing as you spent so much time with it. Few things I noticed right away: There seems to be a faint white outline around her. She looks a little blurry. She has some pretty distracting blue eyes, while the rest of the sig has a red/black theme I would have tried to incorporate that color somehow. To me, it's just too distracting. I like the flow of the sig minus the two lines you have. The flow seems wavey and random and then you have a fairly straight red line mixed in with a white line. I just don't feel like the "fit" in with the sig. No light source, and I know it's not necissary but there's no border either. Well that's just my 2 cents <3

lol you posted right b4 i took it off and said i needed to edit it >_>

added border
eyes are red (black eyes are boring)
i like the 2 wavey lines, w/o them its just a bunch of empty space
shes not really blurry...considering i sharpened her...twice
i didnt think light source was necessary in this type sig format
lol if that was as nice as possible...>_>
no offense but you sure like to point out flaw

It's called critique and you sure don't like taking criticism. Point out flaws, and tips on how you can improve the sig, that's how it goes. You may like the two wavy lines, but I do not. It doesn't flow well with the sig. You can fill up that "empty" space with other brushing with something similar to what you have closer to her body. Light sources generally add more depth but it's your choice. The red border is a bit too much....um red. I would go with black or maybe white if you had to choose one. The red eyes make her looked possessed. Like I said before, too distracting, I would go with a darker color like a dark brown or black. You said, "Any comments or crits are welcome Thanks! " Just trying to help, so you can take it or leave it.

No iam fine with critique(trust me i try and take all the advice you've ever given me) but its like every time your doing it you look at everything under a freaking magnifying glass. Cut me some slack dude i didn't start using layer options till like 2 weeks ago and didnt know about c4ds till last week so iam still learning all this stuff and it kinda aggravates me every time you write a post listing 16 negative things and 1 positive. Yea, everything you say could be true but you dont have to be so blunt about it. Cushion the blow a little -_-. Every time i read one of your posts i feel like i did everything wrong and theres no point to trying anymore.

lol HOLLASTIR is right. but i feel kind of the same way with you Faiien when he critiques me but i'm okay with that because now i know what to fix and i can watch out for it next time. and it's not like he's putting you down. and you did say ANY comments or crits are welcome

ALSO: thats just his opinion. everyone has a different grading rubric and maybe it's just not his piece of pie. look at me, i think it looks great even with those white lines but you could've picked a prettier girl lol. anyway yeah, on topic, looks nice to me =] I like the black and red lines, the text looks nice too

Faiien · Post by **Faiien** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 7:23 am

thx aesthetic
its nice to get a nice comment for a change
>_>
eh i know i could have picked a prettier girl but i was trying to find one laying down that had a lot of contrast already to make it easier to make the sig and the colors.

HOLLAstir · Post by **HOLLAstir** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 9:26 am

Well, in a way I'd rather be blunt about it then sugar coat it. It's not that I don't see good things, but I guess people look past the good things and focus on the negatives. I'm definately here to help and hope you all keep practicing and getting better! If you need help getting a render or stocks you can always PM me, I have a few of girls laying down and what not, I have a wide variety. I may come off strong but I don't really mean to, just the way it comes out. Sorry if you feel that way towards me. I'll take my approach differently next time. <3

I really don't like the border. It takes my eyes away from the focal. Its too distracting.

WaX · Post by **WaX** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 6:14 pm

Stock, just looks a lil wierd, stretched and blurry. That takes alot from the sig for me. Defo an improvment though, keep at it.

i hate it when something that i did on purpose because i liked the way it looked is something that draws criticism lol.

but in my opinion, criticism is the only way i will improve. i will learn less from you telling me what i have mastered than i will from you telling me where i still suck.

that being said, the two lines that hollastir pointed out kinda bother me as well, and i agree w/ WaX that she seems a little stretched. compositionally i think she works well as a render (comments on her physical attractiveness aside), but the lines i mentioned above seem to almost crowd her. looks like they are trying to push her down out of the sig. as far as i am concerned they would be fine if you moved them away from her face a little.

eyes don't bother me, red border doesn't bother me. i too would like to see a light source XD

Faiien · Post by **Faiien** » Thu Dec 20, 2007 11:32 pm

thx for the comments everyone ill try to push out another sig today
i mainly wanted the lines in their b/c i thought they would look good(didnt turn out so well) and because i really wanted to try experimenting with the glowing line technique. I agree shes not very attractive but i dont have many renders and beggars cant be choosers XD
ill try and include a light source next time
