Wiro's sigs

[snorsorbet]

Don't just randomly spam those 'c4d' stuff or whatever it is called. It just clutters up the image and is confusing for the eyes.
Yes, it may take skill to create those. (I don't really know) But they don't make your images better. Let's just use the signature above as a prime example.


I'll store it here in case Alectric changes sig :P
Look, it says 'approved'! - Simoneon

It doesn't have any kind of special effects. It doesn't even look extremely professionally drawn, unlike your signatures. Yet, I prefer it far more than the signatures you are creating. Why?
Because of the colour palette and good use of contrast. Do you see how the cold background makes the warm dude in the middle look much more prominent? Do you see how the contrast between dark and bright draws the eyes towards the centre of the image, where his face is? Do you see how it looks all uniform?
What you tend to do is to place c4d effects (let's just call them that in this post, please correct me later :P) all around your render, and since those have higher contrast and usually are starker and brighter than your render, the eye is drawn away from what is supposed to be the centre of the picture. Furthermore, these contrasts aren't very uniform, which doesn't give the eye any natural way to look at it which makes it look cluttered :P

tl;dr The un-uniform contrasts c4d effects create draw away the attention from the render and confuse the eye.


Also, please don't take this as some kind of harsh post that wants you to gtfo. I have written every single one of these lines because I believe you have potential, you just have to understand that c4d effects isn't 42 :P


EDIT: lol lots of ':P'

I think you should try making a Ballack one for all the German supporters, and me :P even though he isn't playing.
