I became innactive for a while, come back and see how much the majority of you guys have improved. Congrats guys. The only thing that sucks now is, I'm back to being crappy in comparison to you guys haha.

I like how you enhanced Varares, the effects are nice, but that huge-lightstreak isn't doing for me.
Move Variares to a bit right and duplicate that huge-lightstreaks 2-3 times with different colors and different size - that'll help you fill that area of the sig nicely.
FYI, that 'lightstreak' is a C4D
If only i could post my entry here Uncertain and Izuma i like how you enhance renders you should not do it frequently do it only for the color scheme or when you REALLY need it
gotcha Xyo, how are thses?

1st is too dark and th second one is just too plain.
i know. was kindda out of inspiration for the 2nd one. for the 1 st one. would it help if i increased the lightness or added a lens flare?

Nobody get mad at me for barely knowing what I'm talking about, but I feel they still have a little bit of pen tool SPAM goin' on. I agree that the first is a little dark, but that's my only complaint. Also, what's up with the recent VariAres SPAM in everyone's sigs?
IKR, My special is Pen Tooling. so i spam it quite a lot, about the variares. it is my fav bey, thats why.

I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about. The focal is squirtle, and it's quite obvious. Don't add pen-tool lines; they don't fit with this kind of tag. It looks nice and simple, but all your tags look too similar. Try stepping out of your comfort zone and try doing something different Smile
K, gotcha Noodoo, btw, tried a tut, how is this?, and yes, pen tool lines again.................

CnCs?
I love the way you use the Pen Tool, Izuma. Could you tell me how to do stuff like that on Gimp?

A good way to adjust lighting is (In photoshop):
  • Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Curves. Mess around with the curves untill you get appropriate lighting
  • Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Brightness/Contrast. Mess around with the sliders untill you get appropriate lighting
  • Also add photo filters and gradient maps to bring out colour *NOTE: with gradient maps, set to soft light at 10 to 15% opacity*


Hey, I just made this:

CnC please, I'm not sure about this one. Tongue_out
WHere is the lightsource? also there is good flow and depth it needs better colors though
I haven't made a beyblade sig in awhile, so I decided to throw something together.

CnC? Smile
Edit: Seems kinda sloppy to me, TBH... I need to hear other's thoughts, of course Tongue_out
Hmmm, its pretty nice.
As Xyo said about my sig, "where's that light source?" But, I'm ok with your sig in this case.
Thanks for the tips guys!

light source is in top left corner near the renders head on a c4d.
