I like the general ideas and look. I think it has great potential the first thing that struck me is the smoke around her hood is a little too visible. It gives her a hazy look that I don't particularly like. Same with her stomach. The flow and added effects around her hood could be a little more transparent or blended. The vertical text also looks choppy and I think it is the font and the fact that vertical text never looks good because of how the program works.

One other small thing I noticed is there isn't orange in the background to go with her hoody. I tried doing the same kindave flow last week with the background and think yours came out a lot better than mine did.

On another note I saw you were in the Air Force, which base were you stationed at. I was active duty Marine's then got out and did five years Air Force reserves in Youngstown, Ohio.

I feel if the focal image was more angelic or anime type your background would have flowed perfectly with it.

I was at Virginia, North and South Carolina, Florida, California, Okinawa, Iraq, Hawaii, and Germany. I know the orange on her sweatshirt is part of the render. I was just talking about incorporating some orange into the background matching her sweater.

I really don't think your design is bad at all just small things that stuck out when looking at it for the first time.

So I didn't partake in last week's vertical so I decided to make one this week.



I have to agree with Dragon on the vertical text. I'm not a fan of vertical text anyway. Maybe change the font?

I have to disagree on the "smoke" though. With a focal this size, you can't leave it completely clear. I think it looks well blended. I would recommend maybe adding an orange tinted gradient to the background though. I feel the focal itself is more teal than blue, so I would change the hue of the background a bit to match.

Overall, good work though. :)

I probably drove really close to your area last time I was there. I was going down to watch my brother-in-law graduate from Air Force Basic and we drove down through the state and dug for diamonds. We then carried on to our final destination. He actually is still in and lives in Aurora Colorado where the shooting happened. He and wife debated on going to that showing of batman and decided not to because he had to be up early. Thank God they didn't because I guarantee you he wouldn't be alive today. He is one heroic son of a gun and I am certain he would have charged that stage. I am positive he would have.
