Okay, rating time.

Dukey: I loved how you use the effect, it really suits Umbreon. But, what's that white thing in his fur? It's kinda very un-moonlight-y.

The text is awesome, it gives off Umbreon's uh, well, I think it's really good compare o mine so meh. xD

Border and text kills the tag. Takes up to much room, and focalizes. The effects are lacking in spunk, and color. Maybe add some more exciting effects, and get rid of that horrid white smudge on the left. It was a good effort though, keep it up.

Could I get a re-rate on my LP, the first one was useless.

I wish I could make original LPs :o Anyway, the first time I saw it, I really loved it. It's a nice concept and constructed rather well. Though I feel some of the bottom is unnecessary, so I'd cut some of it off. Not too much though, just a small amount. I also feel you should blur the left area a bit more, since everything else around the hand is blurred more. The last thing that stood out to me was the far right flower. It is kinda lit up more that the other two, which I liked. So you should make the other two just as bright with a soft brush OR dodge.

The two last, unfinished requests that were lingering in my tag shop. I finally did them, so yea...Wonder if I've gotten better at requests?

Conman: The image blends with the rest of the background, it blends too much that I didn't see at it for a quick lance. But my favorite once is the sonic one. It's really really cool. I love it how you matched the pen tooling, c4d and all.

@Ryouki: I like it, it's simple yet good, your banner shows that a lot and lot of brushes and effects are not needed to make a decent banner. 7.9/10 Good Job.

I made this using a tut but then I edited it a little bit as the tutorial outcome was a little too plain.

@Idle - The white line isn't good at all. Text is blurry. There aren't much affects to look at. The blending isn't good. And the placement is bad.



Ya i got bored enough to reinstall photoshop. But imo i think it's pretty good considering i haven't made a tag in what seems like forever.

@evilcheese: Nice work here. The choice of render is superb and blending is excellent. The wireframe web effects around the base are a bit too bold, especially on the left side. Tone down on opacity a bit on those. Light source is really nice. The bits around the right side of your render are a bit too sharp, and ugly-looking...

@evilcheese: Ha. Don't try and trick me cheese. You have been posting at tech-gfx. (you little rascal, don't try and pull a fast one past uncle Capitano!

Anyone, this is simply better than anything else I have ever seen you make. All the effects are great, yet you have a bit of floating head syndrome. Only really bad thing is the over sharpening on either side of the focal.

@swamperttrainer: The contrast in this tag is bugging me. For instance the difference between the face of Iron man, and his lower torso is strange in focus. The top - too sharp, and the bottom - too blurry. Try and fix that.

The text on the side is distracting, and honestly doesn't even make a cool effect :<

And lastly the dotty brushing around the bottom makes for a kiddy feel which I would do out with. Try finding a more exciting effect to replace that yucky brush.

@idle: Really I think you did the whole grunge brushing effect the best you can possibly do it xD

I mean, there are some touch ups in order. Cleaning up the focal. For instance the focal kind of looks "dirty" because of the grunge brush. Again, I don't find the whole slated text leaning on a body part any appealing. I think it is just annoying, and doesn't even create flow. So try doing something different then that. Then lastly just try adding more color....................... yeah.

Sorry, but I'm really not a fan of it :/ The coloring is awkward, there isn't a definitive light source, and the fact that the render is opaque kind of takes away from it as well :/

Just want a re-rate on the tag in my sig (Please from someone with loads of experience :P)

Jake: I think the background should be off white instead of pure white because with the style I'm using, it looks weird. I like the splatters on the left and the smudging but that brownish arc on the right seems really out of place. Maybe it's because the render has no prominent brown colors in it. I also think the render was resized a bit too small, it'd look fine with just Naruto's head and shoulders.

@Gummy: Not much to say about this tag except it is, over topazed. If it wasn't topaz then I would really apreciate this tag, but otherwise the topaz reall y isn't working. You used it to the point where the focal looks blurry, and nothing looks quite right.

As for the effects, I think those awesome c4d things are very cool. :D

Keep this up man.

It's still a no in my book. Now it has colors, but they are bad colors. The coloring is just too dark and boring. The effects are pretty sloppy and aren't constructed well. The fact that Lucario doesn't even stand out is only worsened by the fact that he is opaque. My suggestion, just like before, is to read a tutorial, preferably a simple one that covers key points.
It might have looked good with an actual background, not a transparent one. Since it's transparent it looks sloppy. There are smudges and marks all over where it should be just transparent. Also this tag has potential for a great flow, but it wasn't achieved. The text is ok, but it's hard to judge on a transparent BG.
I'm sure this tag probably looked great...before it it drowned in Topaz/GREYC. I mean you really whored it to a point it's hard to get past it. I mean those effects and C4Ds look really good, but I can't accept they were so drowned. The text looks ok, but it could have been a better overall style.

My awesome new tag :o It's a combo platter of Casshern since I used a stock and a self-render from it. I was told the text could be better, but I don't feel like going back and making a none text version. Anyway CnC?

Very nice. The text should be closer to the render, and I kinda wish the focal stood out a little more (some blurring in areas could fix that and enhance the depth).

Oh, and while I'm here, I'll post up this one.

The rainbow draws away from the focal, and there are too many little white dots. All they are doing right now are floating around randomly. The lighting is all wrong for the render. Because the render has a highlight on its left side, but you have the light source coming from its right. If anythign the correct light source is directly above from what I can see (see shadow under chin).

Besides that nothing else is that bad...

The dots are trailing behind him/around him actually. And the lighting, kudos to you for spotting it, most people here don't notice it. I figured it wasn't too bad an issue because it actually looks right on part of the render (the head mainly). It's kind of ambiguous. I tried flipping the background but it looked gay.

No offense to you or anything, but it's very dull and such. The colors clash in a way that makes me bored. There's relatively no brushing involved, the little little effect you have going on is odd (although I have to give you props for trying it) and there is no real transition so to speak from the first sonic to the other. The text is a generic "I don't really know what to do with this" kind of thing. Good news, though, is that there looks to be soooo much room for improvement with you and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.


For me, as I haven't really made any graphics since mid August, I tried experimenting with color to get myself back out of a slump/lazy ungraphic life.

After:

I do realize that it's pretty bleeeehhhh and has no text, but I need a good critique to help myself get back into the game. DDDD: I miss graphics terriblyyyy.

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.
