Prefered Style : Vector and sometimes smudge

Ok. Xlr8 is in and I thought of a new name, 'Immense GraFX'. Anyone like?
Now, with some feed back:

@BEYBOOST and Fathom:
Your renders are way to stretched, either too thick or too thin.
To fix this, press Control+T. This is free transform.
Hold the shift button and drag a corner inwards or outwards. Holding shift keeps it locked so the ratio is almost the same.

Another problem is lighting. Use a proper light source.
First, make a new layer and click with a 250p soft brush where you want your light source to come from.
Set blending mode to linear dodge. Use a different colour to white, something that matches your main colour scheme.
Go Filter>Render>Lighting effects. From the light type drop down menu, select omni. keep the default settings and move the circle into the centre of your brush mark. Click ok.
Use layer>New adjustment layer>Curves. Mess around till you get good lighting.
Now, select the burn and dodge tool to fix up any last problems.

Also, use C4D's to add dimension to your tag.

Refer to my current sig for help or PM me questions

Overall you guys are really similar I suggest you join www.guildinn.com. Its a great site thats brought me to where i am today.

Its not to late to apply. We'll be having a team vote as to decide who should join.
Oct. 17, 2011  8:14 PM
 
(Sorry, for double post, but this is big!)
Okay, guys. We have talked and discussed and it came down to Medz. Congrats dude!
Sorry, Fathom and BEYBOOST. Hope you have good luck joining another team, but before you leave, a bit of feedback.

@BEYBOOST: You've been at the GFX scene for a while, and you have seen great works from the GFX masters. Try to pickup what they have done. If you are unsure about something, google it or ask on the General GFX thread. Upload your tags for CnC on the GFX thread as well and we'll all help you improve. Also follow my tips I posted in this thread and you could come a long way. Once,again, I urge you to join Guildinn.

@Fathom: When i first started, I was worse than you, but still you to have a lot of room for improvement. Follow the same things I said above to BEYBOOST and you'll get better soon aswell.

Sorry for triple post, but yet another update. (Can some one merge these three posts please?)

Team name= Immense GraFX (Unless otherwise)

Tasks:
  • All of us are to design a banner with the focal being the team name. We will then make a battle thread and stock up on votes. Size is to be 650 pixels by 400 pixels
  • Upload all of your decent works, in PSD format, to megaupload. Also include any tuts you made and any C4D. Credit who ever made the c4d's.
    All files are need to have a title that describes what it is i.e. a batman sig should be named batman.
    Everything is to be organised in folders, i.e c4ds are in the c4d folder, your tags in the tags folder with your username in it aswell, etc
    I will then download what you guys have put up, merge all our combined files and create the ultimate resource pack.
  • I'm also gonna make a fancy OP once the banner is done.

Oct. 22, 2011  5:31 AM
 
Fancy OP and User bar complete.
@ the team: If you don't like the userbar, please design a different on and we'll add it to the OP.
Here's the code.

Here's my attempt at a userbar:

Oct. 22, 2011  12:38 PM
 
taj just add a border to the user bar it's simple and appealing to and i recommend we should create a new thread for the team and get this one deleted till now it's full of some posts which we will not being needed in future
Oct. 22, 2011  10:08 PM
 
Thanks for the tip Xlr8 and Medz, I'll add that to the OP. And I might just ask a mod to delete all these posts, so we don't waste our time making a new thread.
Oct. 22, 2011  11:03 PM
 
I made this when I was bored:

[Image: 2b15rc.png]

What do you guys think?
Oct. 23, 2011  2:09 AM
 
It looks too crowded to me. And you kind of lose the focal to the BG. The blending is quite good though, and I feel the depth created by the brush and pen tool. good work for something you did quickly
Just randomly, that Iron-man looks different, Looks like its head is massive compared to its body. Chocked_2
Oct. 23, 2011  9:07 PM
 
Ah thanks for that. Also, I think it's because the head is kind of faded into his shoulders which makes it look bigger.
