Definitely my best. I, personally, love it. This one took quite a long time and I was inspired by a graphics magazine cover. It's quite different from anything I've done before as I'm trying to use my imagination and creativity more. Comments, suggestions, ciritique, etc is appreciated.

Yeah the lighting will just look different on different monitors. I wasn't sure what to do on the left next to her arm, I didn't want to just leave it blank, I just put something simple, thought it worked. Thanks a lot for the feedback:)
It's a signature, why would it be any bigger? Thanks though.
What's wrong with it..?
I didn't over do the light, as I said it's different on different monitors. What the vertical lines on the left..? Yeah, just the line tool at about 3px thickness. Thanks a lot, appreciated ![]() |

It looks too flat to me. The lines look pretty nice but to the right the lines get a bit too wild. I think the stock you used lowered the quality of the entire piece by a lot. Next time use the best quality stock you can find, because it's a big part of the finished product. |

Can you point out what you mean about the stock having bad quality? I can't seem to figure it out and I think it would help me to know what you mean. |

Yeah I'm not sure what you mean, it looks pretty good quality to me. I'm not sure how it's flat either? Thanks for the feedback. |

There is no background really, I wanted to keep it simple. Pink and purple look good Thanks for the comment.

When I say quality I don't mean that the image is choppy or pixelated. I mean that the image itself is too basic. That image seems to smooth and there's not much detail to it. When there's some levels (detail) in the image, things take hold better. It's hard to explain. It's like, the textures are so similar in that image, that it all comes forward as a flat piece rather than having some parts pop out more than others. |

To be blunt, the piece is unoriginal. It's a mess, it's just some Photoshop tools and brushes thrown together, it doesn't even look like the stock was edited. Next time, concentrate more on the stock and less on the brushes. Give it some creativity, some meaning, some feeling. |

I'll try using a more detailed stock next time then but I really don't think that brings the whole signature down. Unoriginal? I don't see everyone else doing the same sort of thing. I agree, I didn't do much with the stock, but this was based a lot on lighting practice. I liked the stock, so I used it, and add some of my own stuff in. It's hardly a brushed background and a render like a lot of the stuff you see, I tried to be creative. Meaning? I don't really feel the need to go out of my way for a signature to mean something personal to me, to me it's more of graphics practice.. If I was to make a larger piece, a lot more thought about feeling and personal meaning would go in to it. |

It's alright, just keep practicing. ^___^ You'll improve in no time. Keep in mind the stock, the colours, and the depth whenever you make the skin. Brushes are last touches.

Yeah, recently I've been focusing a lot on colour, lighting, etc. Any suggestions on how I could go about getting more depth? |
