[X] Xero's Sig: Blood Lust

[Xero]

Render of Itachi Uchiha.

Used a mixture of effects, Blur, Sharpen, Smudge, Burn, Dodge, layer effects and some C4D's.



Give me your opinion and keep the criticism constructive please, thank you.

Note: No Tutorials were followed during the creation of this signature.


Edit: Update with feedback taken into consideration.

i like it but...it looks a bit dull and the text is bad. its good though, kiu.

This signature wasn't meant to be very vibrant it was supposed to be a bit dull and dark. Also I didn't exactly want the render to pop-out either as being behind the C4D's give the effect of an aura surrounding him.

Thank you for the feedback.

Major " floating head " syndrome. Try working with the body of the render, too. It helps define the flow of the tag and makes the tag look less awkward.
Drop the borders and text, they're quite distracting and steal from the focal.
I suggest working with a smaller focal that is centered, as it's bad for the composition.
Work on the colors, too, they're pretty monotone. The background doesn't seem really attractive, but it sort of helps with the flow, I suggest you refrain from using motion blur as a bg, it's quite noobish. Make your effects stand out more, as they are one of the main purpose of a tag.

Keep practicing and read allot of tutorials, bro.

The body isn't visible in the signature at all, or the stock used. Also I never used motion blur as a background so not sure where you got that from. Other than that, thanks for the advice. But yeah I never use motion blur, so I don't know how you thought that.

It would be awesome, but that Xero and RageZone text ruins it, the text should be like 2x smaller and you should place it better.

So, it's the only reason why i don't like this signature :/

I agree with you, I find text so hard to do on a signature and it can make or break the actual signature itself.

Currently trying new methods for text but this is my weakest point, always has been. More practice will come with text so I will upload an updated version tonight after taking feedback into consideration.

I am aware that the body isn't visible, that's why I told you to work with the body of the render, too.

The background looks like it has a motion blur on it, of course I am not always accurate, I just assumed it was motion blurred due to the outcome of your bg.

i like it just 1 thing i dont like

that light / smudge over there makes it weird fore me :D

That's the point, the render doesn't have a body. It is a close-up render of his face.

ihe meant you should work with it though, on your next signatures.

[Thunda]

As Z1ls mentioned already text should be slightly smaller, also I think that it will look pretty good if you highlight the reds a bit. Other than that I think its a pretty good sig. :]

What flash said, buddy.

[Xero]

What flash said, buddy.

Ahh okay, his wording suggested on the existing render, my bad.

I have also added an updated version to the original post.

[Flash1369]

uh..it was his wording ;D
OT:good thing you removed that giant border. the text is much better too.

[Flash1369]
