No freaking way!!! Lol glad you are here do some of the test images, your sigs you have done look pretty good...seems like you already have a good foundation...look foward to seeing some more work

 

[XGC Muggle]

The last two are from the test folder, but I can make some more

The last two looks a little bit blochy copy and paste......the first two look good, need to lighten them up a little more but I think they look good. Constantly keep posting test images

The minimum is the test images. Do these and you can scrape by. The more "pumpin" your thread the better - everyone likes a good party. We only want to accept people who we know will fill their work quota - I know we get a lovely flashing usergroup banner but you need to continue earning the privelege to wear it

More test images:

I'm just going to number each image and talk about each.

1) Strong point- good use of flow and rule of thirds. Things to fix- the lighting. The sig is too dark, and you have to light source.

2) strong points- great use of brushes in the background. Things to fix- the white clouds. They add too much white to the image. Try to change the opacity on them

3) strong points- this sig is pretty good overall in my opinion. Things to fix- this is a bit more personal but I feel that the flag in the background is blurred too much. It gives the sig too much depth.

4) strong points. I like the idea, but the execution could have been better. Things to fix- use the rule of thirds. There is a rain effect visible on the helmet. Hide it or use it in my opinion. The flow is all over, so that could be touched up.

Yeah....what Nugget said.......

Thanks for the tips

With those first three, there is quite a bit of empty space. I would suggest either moving your render to the left a little bit, or using a different size canvas.

Bouncing off of this, and this may just be based off my video team opinion (I am not welcome here *hiss*), but I feel the text could blend a bit smoother. The text seems rather, intrusive, if I can put it correctly. But a very nice use of finding nice cg models to match the overall theme of the renders.

Titan, I appreciate your input on this, but only Design Team members may post in application threads. You are always welcome in design, video or not lol, this forum is just for a select few

How about this one:

I also did this...

from the test images:

the first could Incorporate the rule of thirds a little more, otherwise i love it.
the second im actually impressed with you for using because i didnt think anyone would. i felt it was used very well, but the render could have been blended in a little more im i was being picky

 

[TheRealMrNUGGET]

How about this one:

I also did this...

do i really have to say anything? i feel like your going to hate me for picking out all the little things lol

 

[XGC Bradshaw90]

I think it looks good...just needs to be blended up a little more...words of encouragement

 

[XGC Muggle]

Isn't that what the CnC is for though?

 

[XGC Bradshaw90]

Well fine then..see if I say anything nice again

 

[TheRealMrNUGGET]

How about this one:

I also did this...

a little much blur on the render of the first one.
the second could use a little depth. if you apply the image, and apply a guassius blur, then place a duplicate of the render on the top it will help the depth.

also youll notice that the render has part of the hair cut off. you always want to hide, or fix that when possible.

Not trying to be a butthole, but I see a lot of your sigs where it looks like you just put the render on top of everything and do nothing to it...try blending. When I get home, I'll try to find you a good tutorial...also all sigs do not have to be 500x200. I personally like 400x200. There is a lot of empty space in your orange girl Sig....I would maybe eliminate everything to the left of her and zoom in on her...
