I made some new art.
A new avatar, and a new signature.

AVATAR: New Art by DAFTFAN2.0 2z86r1w

SIGNATURE: New Art by DAFTFAN2.0 25842eo

Rate each one out of 10, please.

Avatar: To be quite obvious it is quite poor as you did not put enough work into it. May I suggest that you not using a feather, fitting the image in the actual frame and adding a thin 0.5 outline around the avatar?

Signature: Not much to say about this either, its too simple. I like the glow you applied on the picture, if that was you, and the render is actually very qualitive, but all you need is to GIMP it, add some c4d renders and smudge it to give it a neater look. The borders on top and bottom of signature are too thick and as I said should be a 0.5 thin outline. Also, add text to a) make it look nicer, b) copyright it.

Overall - 8.3/10
Keep working!

If you see, I did add text to the bottom right corner (about the sig). About the image in the frame, that was on purpose. I did add the glow to the render, thank you, I do have c4d renders blurred on my backgrounds for the avatar AND the sig, I put a little bit of work into the avatar as it's an AVATAR, and the feather, I never used feather, I used gaussian blur due to the fact my feather effect DOES NOT SHOW UP. BTW aren't signatures supposed to be simple and nice?

Make it more visible and add a tagline.

Subject: Re: New Art by DAFTFAN2.0 Fri Jul 02, 2010 6:36 am

Looks bad with text imho.

Subject: Re: New Art by DAFTFAN2.0 Fri Jul 02, 2010 7:04 am

What about mine?

Subject: Re: New Art by DAFTFAN2.0 Fri Jul 02, 2010 7:47 am

What did you use? I kind of like it, it's a bit too messy though.

Subject: Re: New Art by DAFTFAN2.0 Fri Jul 02, 2010 10:39 am

@Mixi you didn't make it, so don't take credit for it.

It is poor. However much you may think it is awesome and your knowledge of GFX is better than everyone else's, it does not look good whether you like it or not.

This is the worst. It is too blurry, to begin with. Blur the background if you want, but blurring the render decreases the depth and makes it look amateur. Don't use renders that are choppy, and if you can't find any decent renders, try to correct the render you like by erasing any bad areas and feathering in Paint.Net. Also, the renders should fade out or be masked to the square if you are sizing them down, instead of allowing the borders to overlap. That is one of the biggest mistakes you could make.

As for this one, I am somewhat happy with the outcome, the render is clear and the background is blurry, which adds depth. The dissolve-effect glow looks nice, and the black borders look nice. I've posted a corrected version of this below.

More vibrant and warm colors, and stronger blurring.

PS. Take what you want from my advice, just try to understand that your opinion isn't everything.

Avatar my friend is crap CnC and i give it a 2/10

The signature however is pretty sweet but I suggest you look into maybe using C4D's sometimes to add the effects. 8/10

I meant to say "whats my avatar like?"

Subject: Re: New Art by DAFTFAN2.0 Fri Jul 02, 2010 7:26 pm

@BronzeRevolution, *cough*never said I wanted warm colours*splutter*
Btw I don't even know why I made that avatar, guess I was bored, and finally @Kakaromango, the BG is actually blurred C4Ds overlapping each other.

Subject: Re: New Art by DAFTFAN2.0 Fri Jul 02, 2010 8:25 pm

Posted in wrong forum. Should be moved to Gallery.

Subject: Re: New Art by DAFTFAN2.0 Fri Jul 02, 2010 8:26 pm

Gallery was not around when I posted this. Backseat modding much?

Subject: Re: New Art by DAFTFAN2.0 Fri Jul 02, 2010 8:31 pm

1) Daft is correct

2) Kakaromango is not backseat modding. Any one with a proper understanding of the rules is Backseat modding regarded as a user taking place of a staff member and saying 'Moved' and 'locked' etc. Kaka was simply saying that it would be appropriate to move it to the gallery seeing as their is now a GALLERY.

Consider this or I will give you an infraction.

I did an epic bump, but I did this to revive the thang.

Avatar gaussian is TERRIBLE. Colors are not good. You should be aware that Daft Punk likes VIBRANT and COLORFUL lights. Experiment with some more colors at the back and you'll be fine. Take some time to blend the render in with the background.

Signature is so-so. The splash at the back ruins everything. However if you did some adjustment layers, colors would be epic. I like how you took time to blur your background, but without the splash, the sig is just a gaussian blur with text.

If you were bored and didn't want to make it, better not show it then.
