[Showoff/Rate] Angelina Jolie, New version!!!

[FreakySlayer]

Hey Guys,
And finally here after some time I made a new signature.
Looking good at Tuts and trying some things out. I made this one.
I hope you guys like it, and please if you don't . Comment it , I take any critisism . But please remember I'm still in the beginner phase, trying stuff out etc.
Greetz,




*EDIT: a much better version uploaded with first time using C4Ds and some pen tool Enjoy!!!

Render is a bit squashed... needs some C4Ds, maybe make the tag bigger, and not alot of depth. Other than that good job and keep on improving.

[FreakySlayer]

Hmm yeh just saw about the squashed signature. Shall upload a better version ASAP.
What do you think I should do about the depth then?
And shall try some C4D but I'm still beginner . Thanks for your comment though

Use a big soft white round (default basic ones) brush for a light source on the top left part of her body, since that is where the light is coming from, then get a dark brush, lower the opacity and make some shadows, play around until you get good lighting and that will go a long way to add depth, apart from that the render could be a little more depth, and the c4ds could be changed (think blending layer) Hope this helps ya

[Clain]

To add depth I usually blur the background in certain points and sharpen the focal

Ok thanks for the comments, although it was my first time using C4Ds and pen tool, I go follow your advice for future sigs. Thanks

i think you should have erased more of the c4d's and less pen tooling, but the pen tooling itself is nice and well done ( some edges, though)

I see the Lightsorce behind her, but it doesn't overlay her, you could have added more depth here, also the render doesn't blend so good on the right side (its a little squashed and choppy, isn't it?)

Bigger sigs is the answer, try 400*150, its alot easier.

Text: Gradient overlay >_<
Makes the text stand out too much, and in combination with the outerglow its too bright, i prefer(sure you noticed^^) plain white/black text.

sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes, wrote that quite quickly g2g now ^_°

oh, and add depth by better light/shadows (set a white/black brush on overlay ~50%)

Soft light and a slightly higher opacity is usally better for lighting

I believe you wrap the link in [img][/img] to show it here



I think it looks good for a beginner and I was pretty much like you when I began

[FreakySlayer]

Thanks for the comments, will try some more depth and aded the [IMG] tags.
Greetz,

I don't like Soft light because it kind of changes the original color, i usually use one 200px brush on overlay and over that an ~150px brush as a lightsource (ofc main part of the brush isn't in the image)

Shes not naked

Nice sig though
