Apple

Hey, that just inspired me! Great idea, just the lighting and overall execution is lacking imo

[DumboDii]

I don't like the C4D coming out from the apple. Lightning is too strong too. Other than that I think it looks good. Simple, innovative and eye pleasing.

Btw when did ac die?

[Melez]

Since always
We should try getting sig wars up again

I'd certainly enter with my newfag skillz.

When everyone grew up and realized they can do something better with their livs
OnT: When people do not know the rules of commenting they just insulting an artist and he's quittin' thats why. Since SRF has only "pro's" in PS/GIMP it wasn't hard to kill AC.
BTW nice sig. But it's empty, the whole right side is black. Although it is clean work, no extra lines.

[Melez]

No one insulted anyone

[Noobs_Slayer]

It is not allowed for anyone to comment anyones works because you get flamed or whatever.
Some people just can't bare with criticizm

By the way, It seems that red effect that goes on hand, is low quallity. And i think that you failed abit with japanese text, though the text "apple" looks nice, but those jap letters doesn't go well in the sig.
Ok, now you can flame or whatever i don't care

[Melez]

Think you haven't read this:

Just say it's nice and move along. I acknowledge you have your opinions but lately all I have been seeing you do is give what seems to be constructive criticism, but really they have no substance to them, and your tags themselves are lacking certain crucial aspects. Don't try to criticize just to criticize, it's not a good look. Especially don't try to criticize photoshop veterans that know what they are doing, while you are just figuring out the basics.

He hit it right on..
Welcome back either way

thanks for the critique Melez and Dumbo(btw your tag is win), I added some new effects, a little bit of texture, toned down the lighting source and moved it to the middle of the apple, and made text less noticeable.

V2 looks much better

[Melez]

Version 1 is better imo. With that moved lighting you ruined the whole concept
You really need some other lighting techniques

[Mirosuke]

V1 is better...
Guys, are you blind?

[Noobs_Slayer]

I think v2 is better, because:
I can't tell what light source technique he used ( there are 2 famous). Soft round brush is not the only technique :>
At first Japanese text was with way too high opacity, after he reduced it a bit it looks much nicier.
Effect comming from apple looks nice eighter.
That's what i think

I know I do! I suck at lighting and I ruined the whole concept of red vs. black in the apple. I'm such an idiot!

[BrokenSaint]

That's pretty cool, I like v1 better though I would've preferred a little more c4d play.

kiu.

+1 to broken

Annnnnnnd, imo;
i think it would look better on a smaller canvas+borderless
