Help ~ FINISHED WITH OC

[Noobs_Slayer]

I've been doing a sig purely with pen tool and stuck on 35 percent of work. may someone give me ideas to finish it?

Spoiler!

Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:

Used only 1 texure as a background

[cin]

u want to keep it just pentool or?

[Noobs_Slayer]

i want to fully pen tool it. No textures or lame c4d's.

[noobert mclagg]

you could try some glow lines around her arm or hair.

[cin]

idk, i'm personally not a fan of glow lines, you have
to really master them to make them look like they have
depth.

i'd say, since you're now starting in front of her and
moving to the right in a round-ish movement, maybe you
can pentool something similar behind her moving to the
left?

something like this, lazy so opened paint lulz..
but its the thought that counts right?

[SM-Count]

Wireframe that bitch.

[BrokenSaint]

Teh count speaks truth mayn

[inky]

Pentool on that... very limited options. =S

That sweater hanging from her right arm shoots down most of my ideas >_> If you cut anything and put it there, it'll look like it's hanging from her armpits though lol.

I'm curious to see what the outcome of this sig will be.

[Noobs_Slayer]

thx, pen tooled sigs is more interesting to do because you're doing everything yoursel without any C4d's. It's shows ur skillz

[Melez]

Skills are very, very show-able with only proper c4d and stock placing and blending and everything.

Spoiler!

This sig for example isn't based on pentool, yet shows a very high amount of skill. So it's pretty much how you choose to express yourself, through scratch-made pieces, or with other methods. As long as you do it right, it will show skill
You're improving fast btw, congrats

[inky]

Melez pretty much sums up my view on C4Ds. Although a lot of people carelessly use them (Color dodge and put them anywhere in the sig), it's still very easy to distinguish the ones who carefully manipulate and consider their use to improve the sig. You know as well as I do that just adding any C4D in the back or foreground isn't enough to make your stuff look great. Then again, limiting yourself is one of the best ways to improve your skills. Reminds me of how my girlfriend's visual arts professor is making them create a 3D travel poster using only colored paper cut-outs (no pencils, pictures, or any writing materials allowed).

I've gotten idea to "robotize" stock. Then i'll make that effects comes out out of the black holes of the stock. Can't explain well but Here's the tut im gonna follow Click me

Spoiler!

I come with conclusion that pen tool > c4d No texture added, made purely with pen tool

[Noobs_Slayer]

Thats weird no one has commented it yet o.O

[Kraq]

Very weird.

[Noobs_Slayer]

Very weird.

Whats weird about it? o.O

[Melez]

How sure are you that it's a texture in the bg lol?
