Competition.

[Barotix]

A 2 day vote after one week, then you start the next one with the winner supplying the renders/stocks. We have 2 more days (Thursday is the cut-off). Then the 48 hour vote starts. and the whole thing restarts on Monday, just so everyone gets used to it. I'll type the official rules while the voting happens.

OMAGOSH, how do you do the lightning?

Cool beans thanks for the quick rundown.

...The lightning is done with a healthy mix of pentooling, burning,clipping masks,brushing, and last but not least used vanishing point on a few of them. ^^

Lol wut?
ANd your 1st sig is waaay beter than mine

[hitokiri]

All right... my entry~

3rd day with photoshop ftw?

I'd say better then the multiple colors you had going, but its too monochromatic now. Take whatever color effect you used to make the Gundam Render all red off the render itself or maybe better yet could work with it being so red and try to add different colors to the background. But keep in mind Complimentary colors so it doesnt go all crazy like the old attempt. Even play with some Gradient Maps and change around the layer settings for them, see if you can get something more to it. You want similar colors between the render and signature so it blends more then it stands out.

It's a step up for sure and I'm liking the blood red looks. I would definitely try erasing some of your C4d effects off the render, remember c4ds are nice but never to over do them or in some way make then feel fluent to each other =}.

What you can also try to help blend in your BG a little more and add a nice flow is a Radial blur.

-Apply Image
-Take your pentool and make a outline around your gundam image.
-Right click> Make Selection
-Select your marquee tool>Right click> Select inverse
-Layer via copy
-Filter> Blur> Radial Blur
- Set it to zoom change the quality to best and just black with the settings to what ever you prefer.

After that I would play with adding some foreground effects to get away from that "Flat" look and you should fine.


Here's a quick example I did of what you're aiming for if you wanted a preview of what it may look like before you try it. You can take your time to make it look neater.



That piece of scrap I added would be "My" way of adding to the foreground for depth. You can do what ever comes to mind.


On a side note I had a dream about "shocked" looking gundam floating heads. It was pretty scary I almost wet myself.

[magisuns]

yay constructive criti .. btw i only thought u said the nightmare thing cuz u were teasing *notice my response*
2 bad i already made a v3 with a different style already, but i'll try doing what you suggested just for kicks. Finally started to not spam brushes...

What he forgot to mention is that in this dream he's a spider that crawls into females' rooms to take a little peek. Obviously his fantasy dream turned sour when I decided to sit down, but at least he got a nice view.


...Yeah.

What would a spider gain from seeing boobies? besides I never said it was dream...a dream would make it a good thing. Unless this is your way of admitting to your kinky feelings for me.....Besides I told you unless you by a strap on it's not gonna work. It's too late anyway I don't have nightmares about you anymore, it's floating gundam heads now. I'm scared magisuns sig doesn't pop into the mix one of these nights. Now that will really make me shit bricks. Teasing, love

It's not about what the spider gains, it's about the fact that the only way you'd ever get up close to a female is if you were some sort of insect. That way, the female won't see you coming and won't flee the scene immediately.
