The Graphics Rating Thread [READ THE FIRST POST. D:<]

[Postman]

I'm really not sure about this one =x

 

[SwampertTrainer]

Well, the effects are good, but it's a bit washed-out. Overall, there's no contrast- everything is just one block. The bits around the text are a bit simple, they probably could have used a motion blur 0-degrees and maybe some other effects. the render is probably the best part of this image.

Here's a banner I made for Pokemon_Fan14:

Well, since there hasn't been another entry, I'll just out up a second one (again; rating for both please)
I realize it's probably not my best, I was just messing around- the main thing I like is the effects on the petals

Well, I keep pumping them out, but there's no one to rate 'em, so here's yet another:

I made this one first, but then edited it to make the top one:

SwampertTrainer:
-The first banner the pikachu render opacity makes it look bad otherwise the rest is ok.
-Awsome flower Its all great apart from the stems light green line
-This banners pretty good brushes used and has a good amount os space filled however...
-...This banner which is of the otherone is overloaded and the large text is much worse the the small text on the one above.

*whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooow*
Now can someone rate this its a pixel sig I just tried out:

 

[Utami]

@Y?551NE
The overall look is pretty nice. I think it would be better if you gotten rid of strange effects in top-right corner. I would have liked to see more blending but I understand that it's tough using a pixel render.

@SwampertTrainer
There's sort of a reoccurring problem that I see in your graphics. You should always make your focal sharper and more pronounced than the rest of the image. A simple way to address this is to (if you're using Adobe PS): New Layer, Apply Image, Filter>Sharpen, erase parts that aren't your focal point.
I like your backgrounds, but it detracts from the focal. Also, blend your renders in more~!

Here's one that I made during the lo~ng time I was inactive.

 

[SwampertTrainer]

I probably sound like a noob, but what's a focal?

 

[Utami]

The main thing that you want everybody to look at. It's usually the render.

 

[Comic Tragedy]

Utami: That is one of the best b&w signatures around here lately. I mean the simplicity of it is quite beautiful, and for some reason the wierd motion blur like scratches actualy work to develop flow. The clipping masks are also very well done, it just adds to the whole grungie look. I would like to see more effects though. The right side looks just a tad to plain. I am not wanting to contradict what I said about simplicity, just add some effects............ (probobly doesent make sence)

 

[Mr. Epic]

@Utami: I agree with El Capitano however I dont believe it needs much more effects

Rate this I did for a request in my shop plz:

[Comic Tragedy]

Y?551NE (get a name change xD): Ok I like all of the effects going on, I just don't like the wierd white negative space that gathers below the focal when you start adding on c4ds. In my opinion it really makes it look less clean. There is great flow in this sig though, good job on that. And the text is good. You can still work on adding a bit more color to the sig. It is just a little dull color wise.

 

[Azonic]

I guess I'll just be my lazy self and not rate anyone's. |D

*image removed*
Rate it. Now.

 

[SwampertTrainer]

isn't that against the rules?

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

You are packing in too many c4s in there making it look messy. And grunge c4d sigs don't look very nice. :<
Adjust the contrast and brightness. The face looks like it's been untouched which is near where it should be like.
Try using better colours too. I know it's meant to represent the sky… but that's not really the colour of the sky.

@riginality Fails
Not entirely sure how to rate this... but I would say to make it more seamless. You could tell the "Flight" was added in since it was different from the rest of the picture. Same with the 36 and part of the description.

@Raikazu
I think you need a nice job on this. While it's a little messy for my own liking, it's very interesting and pretty. I would have liked it if you sharpened her face and then blurred the rest. Lots of effect and nice blending.

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

Do you know which font to use?

 

[Utami]

Nope, but I think you got the right font or at least really close to it. The color is too dark though, there should be a somewhat bluish-purpley glow.

 

[Zebra Thunderhead]

I realize I don't have a tag to be rated, but I figured I would announce my return regardless.

 

[Comic Tragedy]

Omgggzzz *shot*

CME you are back! Ah' I have missed you're skills around here. I hope you stick around longer this time! Maybe teach some newbies here how its really done xD Maybe we can do a collab some time?

Anyway. some new stuffs.

kinda working with base colors, and just adding on some cool smudging effects.

Ah, kinda got messy around the focal....... I need some help with this one CnCs please!

 

[Zebra Thunderhead]

I haven't been tagging all that much because I haven't had all that much time but I'll happily do a collab with you. I would critique your tags but I am on my mom's blackberry (on the road to NY) and images look funny so I'll comment when we get to our hotel.

 

[evilcheese]

Yay Color Me Evil is back and like El Capitano I can't wait to see what you got.

@El Capitano - Since their pretty much the same style i'll rate both ^^ I think the thing that disturbs me the most is the stuff that covers the focal, you should erase that stuff. I don't think the wireframes are working here if you using lineaer burn multiply would be better. And depth you need more depth.

 

[Zebra Thunderhead]

XD You guys are too much. We'll be at our hotel in about 4 hours. ): I'll see if I can manage to get a tag off my imageshack account but I strongly doubt I will. Dang blackberry is impossible to use and my mom's company blocks half the internet on here, so I'm surprised I could get on here.
