But that's Nero, not Dante. :3
lol my bad it said dante when I downloaded the stock so I just assumed.
Yeah the first is mostly just blending C4ds and different BG's. Basically just working on my blending and lighting. I original had a different out look for the first one where there were a bit more vibrant colour but after speaking with a few people decided to tone them down giving the whole sig a more "cold" "dead" realism feel. Which I personally enjoyed since most my tags a full of loud colours. Case and point sig two.
Now speaking of the second tag originaly it was supposed to be abstract the sprite was added last minute because right before I was about to save it I took a second look and the whole thing gave off this " inside a video game look" you know cartoons and movies do it? I thought it would be a original idea but I guess it just has to do with where you post. AC doesn't get to many tags of this sort so I'm assuming you're not used to them so that's why it looks "odd" I guess would be the right word to use. I've been getting a lot of mixed reactions on it most people enjoy the CMYK colour scheme. As did I, felt it gave the whole sig a cool surreal feel.
Like cin already mentioned it was just a daring attempt to break out of the norm. I'll keep playing with the style and eventually come to a grey area with the sprite and colours and post back to you guys.
Oh and Lava don't fall into rules like those. Although I agree to an extent if all you're doing is throwing your text in the corner using any generic font. Yes, that's a no no but if there is some artistic insight to it and it goes well with your overall sig, why not. If we just follow the same rules for
every sig. They eventualy all start looking the same, no?
Also where are the choppy lines I must have missed a spot because I did go back and blend in the choppy areas.
@Rogue
I used a couple different things to produce the BG. I'm not on my laptop right now so I'll Pm you the full stocks later. but I'll post the direct layers here for now. EDIT: you got lucky I didn't trim any of the layers so they're all full size.
And the left side was mainly produced by recoloring this gundam and flipping/erasing areas and a c4d..
..I'm sure you've already guessed where I rendered the feathers from.
Oh and before I forget thank you everyone for commenting.
And I didn't mean choppy lines as in you missed something, I meant choppy as in my eyes find no rest. My descriptions are never good because I have no idea how to talk about art or design or whatever. I'm working on it
