[request] c4d expert opinion

[CarlosJ]

There's Also a hell of alot of c4d's in my current sig

lol yeah sorry didnt mean to single out one person,it was just because of all the artists here piersd is probably most known for his c4d work which is used extensively in many pieces of his art as sometimes the main focus and effect in it.
but yeah your sigs also a good example of the different ways c4ds are effective, your use is c4ds is slightly more subtle but still gives nice effects and adds depth.
once again my apologies for not pointing out others work that also contains c4ds

I never get around to do a realy good work >.< i know i can do alot better but i just dont have time/patiens. heres my newest work. still not satesfied


:confused:
:wave:

[CarlosJ]

its not bad, but you really need to work on blending the c4ds more, they just stand out to much. also your light source needs to be softended and repostitioned because at the moment the rings are too large. Try adding a border and text to it it helps finish it a bit.
Also use the burn tool a bit around the edges for extra depth. so some c4ds are hidden a bit put them on different layering options to provide different effects. e.g some really dark some really light

just keep practicising and looking at tuts

Yet another failed atempt >.<

so that should get you started really ive still got to upload all my c4ds keep saying i will but just never get around to it



sorry confused how you mean you cant see how it would work, perhaps you need to understand a bit about "c4ds" first; they are vector based, and because they are not pixel based it allows them to be stretched without any loss of quality. brushes need to be vector based so that they look the same quality no matter what size you use them at. so as the c4d is vector based it can be used as brush, when you download brushes you may download "tribal" "grunge" brushes, its just a different style of brushes "c4d". it works in the same way as any other brush apart from it uses c4d images.
so yeah basically theres no difference between a c4d brush and a c4d, ones imported in and ones used like a brush (so probably more design features available) really you should be trying them out as they do help with the depth of the sig alot and using them as a brush just makes your life easier.hope that helps clear it up a bit for you

But heres how this once got:

I cant help but feel like the c4d's you use are too obvious, too aparant. Perhaps try blending them into the background more, taking them out of focus, and putting that focus back on the character, or whatever your main feature is.

Im no expert, just my 2 cents =)

[Waspp]

Yeah i know, thats the point. i was trying to get so the c4ds ARE the picture ^^
(like piersed but bot his style) :wave: ty for crit

hey wasp they all look great but the only thing is the font dont take this personly or to offence but the fonts you use are a bit too basic and doesn't give the sig a good touch no offence but hey this is just my opinion you can get new fonts here at dafont.com
