What is a c4d? What size should I be using in the future? and; I'm not sure you use the word "render" correctly, since that term usually applies to 3-dimensional graphics, and describes the process of giving the final image and adding all effects. In Photoshop, you see the final as you create it... |
Sorry if have been jabbering on a bit.
A c4d is like a big abstract brush you use to make the banner look better. A rennder is the image you use in a banner. |
Ah. Well, seeing as I didn't know a c4d was, obviously I didn't use it- only the plain old airbrush tool. As for the render, were you referring to the one on the left or right?
|
I was referring to the lucario. You might be thinking of the c4d, which counts as a render too.

Ahem..... First of all SwampertTrainer you should of reffered to the Graphics and Photogrophy Q&A thread ;P
And second of all..... NO ONE HAS RATED MY SIGNATURE! -shot'd- |

He was right about the render, but c4d's are not big abstract brushes. They're images made in a program called Cinema 4D that you can use on your banners to give extra effects. There are different kinds of c4ds; Effect c4d's are usually more glowy with black backgrounds, and abstract ones are usually the cool looking ones with transparent backgrounds. evilcheese is making a c4d tutorial, but I can show you some examples too, if you still don't know what I'm talking about. c4d's are a pretty big thing in graphics. ;D Quote:

For the Houndoom, I've been kinda playing with this effect in which I copy the base image to another layer, enlarge it, and add a sketchy filter such as watercolor (in this case) or pencil, then decrease the opacity of the layer to just enough where you can still see it, but the bottom layer is the one you focus on. I did this with Riolu9's avatar and it worked beautifully http://attachments.wetpaintserv.us/YDbGR83XNgRFy6%2B5iBQrzA%3D%3D38751. |
Swampert Trainer:
Nice avatar, you have a knack for making them. The thing you need to make sure with on avatars is colours. They can be super bright, contrasty and everything because generally the focal will take up most of the space so blending and stuff is thrown out the window. I think you should play around with curves, gradient maps and photo filters to add some depth and sharper colours. Just so it stands out more and is less boring. If you don't know what I mean, ask Hazuki as she is the master of colour and filters and stuff. |
Another one...
Well, since the last one was me, here's another. I'm not serious about this one, just an experiment for my own new sig to get feedback and advice fore improvement.

Swampert Trainer:
Okai this is much better than some of your others. The background is more detailed while it doesn't draw attention from the renders which is always good. The text is quite good, maybe just move the "Trainer" over to the right a bit more so it doesn't look like one word.. And finally, try not to cover the renders as much. If you want to cover them, okai but erase over their faces maybe so they get more focal.. http://i34.*.com/11ql6ch.png Eh not sure if I like this yet but the render was kinda a bit bright... |
How's this? btw thanks =)

Um.. I don't know who's the rate so I'll rate Kuggles. o_o;;
Kuggles; I really like the style of it, it all flows well together, but it seems kinda.. Monotoned to me. :\ The text is good and yeah it's kind of bright around her face. XD But it contrast well with the black part~ --- http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii142/Akari_Productions/GFX/aizuke_banneri.png |
Aizuke: I like all of the effects you have there because they are all really cool, but one thing I don't really like is you're clippiong mask to the left of the render. It just looks out of place, and in my opinion doesent benefit the banner at all. another thing you can work on is color. Usualy I think you do well. But this particular banner has no vibrant colors.
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k284/andytoe/airgearpentool.jpg rate please ;P |

first banner i made i just started using photoshop i aint no pro so i can't criticise but i like the banner above very bright and colourful. |
swampert man_08: Good picture, but its a little big. It looks like you havent done much to the background, and you could have done better with blending. Nice go for first try, though.
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg238/rowy95/mattsbannercopy-1.png Rate it. |

You can use this thread for Photographs as it is in the Graphics and Photography section.

Nice photo!
The right side of the picture is very dark, I am assuming this is because of the sun and it seems to be setting. If so, this photo possibly could have looked nicer if you captured the sun which would look great next to the sea. The photo is good except for the lighting which could be fixed. You could try playing around with filters on Photoshop or another Image Editing program to fix the light. Ok here is my entry for SoTW #22 "Flight". http://i38.*.com/347jqx5.png |
Kuggles; the text annoys me a lot for some reason. D: I don't like the style of the font.. And.. It's really monotoned. XD;; You might want to try and add some other colours in there..
--- http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii142/Akari_Productions/GFX/Gino_banner.jpg New theme. XD; I shouldn't put my themes for rating. D; |
Pretty good, nice lighting and depth. Colors could be smoother IMO and maybe better text. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/2424/signaturezero02qx7.png Made it for someone, but it wasn't really a request. I focused mainly on lighting and depth, which are things I needed to re-work on. BTW, "I never cared about justice" is a quote from Megaman Zero 4. |
