Signature/Small Work Showcase [V.IV]: Long Live Pterodactyls!

Might be because theyre overlapping.

Id kick up the opacity on the avatar so the nasty zu texture doesn't show through

Hah, yeah. Brad, yours is really cool, with good depth... but I just cant tell what it is.

Are you allowed to ask for CnC on SOTW entries?

Current sig please...

I don't like the yoshi on the left and it could use more work in the eye and nose area. I'd like to see more overlapping arrows but in the same area.

The top left corner has too much negative space and the part of Yoshi on the left doesn't look good.

The vector arrows (or whatever they're called) seem a little too sharp and pixelly for me. Same for Yoshi. It's pretty bland and empty, and the lack of color makes it a somewhat boring sig.

CnC on my current sig please.

Really looks pretty messy in general. Way to much going on for me. Weird proportions, things sized like that usually only work with simplistic abstracts. Text is horribad and the lighting crossing looks pretty bad. Good render for once is about the only good thing I can think of. Not your best Hawke

Try a wider shorter version, tilt Chrono a bit so a lot of him still fits and simplify some of the background., Darken the bits away from the focal and use the brush shaped like the sun on soft light where you want your light to come from.

Lighten up the focal and try something else color-wise. It doesn't work too well here.

I think its okay for me to go again? I made two Pit sigs, tell me which one is better. I made one vector style, and the other is my normal style.

Over smudged one is ok.Vector is the same.Vector is not just arrows(I tried to tell you...) it is a style.And the render could be rotated to match the flow I guess.Smudge one needs flow and effects.

Theres more brushes than just arrows, and no you didnt, you just said to get brushes and look at tutorials oh well

I prefer the vector to the smudged one. The effects on the render don't look good. The arrows are alright not you're best sig.

As for the other, smudging is alright, I'm not sure if the lighting is coming from the bottom or top.

While I prefer the nonvector there are big flaws with both, Mostly in the light department. Try burning the ♥♥♥♥ out of the left on the nonvector, would help it tons imo

Current sig please.

Dalton: I really don't like Pit in the vectored one. He looks really..... Weird. And there is nothing really going on in that sig. Vector is all about bright, flashy colors and movement. As for the other one, I kinda like it. The smudging is good, but Pit needs to be more "colorized". The way he is now, is a little bland and he gets lost in the background a bit. Other than that, it's a nice signature.

Din: I'm assuming you want CnC on both images together, no? I think it's decent. Nothing spectacular about it, but nothing bad about it. The only thing I don't like are the borders. You reeeeeeally messed them up on the reflection.

I eant the main sig so CnC that further in.

It's not a bad piece and there's nothing spectacular about it. I love the reflection. Also no flow at all, it looks as if you made a cloud background and stuck a squrtle on it.
