Re: LoN's Signature Shop/Gallery (Requests: OPEN!!!)
You know what, I've decided to change my sig request. Instead of doing such a vague concept, I'm going to go with a more straight forward idea. If you could please make me a sig using this image of the band
Japandroids. If you want one without the logo, a quick Google search for Japandroids should find it for you. Let me know if you need anything else.
Full Sig run-through!!!
Chad: I really love the left side of this sig and the lighting you did here. As well as how it blends with the render. Well, the head portion of the render at least. There is something about the body of the girl in the sig that makes it difficult for me to really differentiate her from parts of the background. The similar colors and the blending/lighting make her body kind of look like a mass of randomness. You did a brilliant job with the head portion, but I think the position of her body mixed with the effects make it very difficult to get a proper grasp on what exactly she is supposed to look like. Honestly, the more I look at it I think it is really the position she is in that causes this problem. A different position and my issue goes away.
Sho: This one is more my personal opinion than anything else, but I just don't care for the muted colors in the sig. :x Though the flowing background on the outsides and then the sudden jagged, almost broken glass-like effect in the middle seems a bit off. The flow just seems odd there. I love the effect over the text, though. It makes Sho's name look very awesome.
Magpie: I love the glow lighting effect you did on the wings here. I normally do not care for real-life animals in sigs (as I have grown accustom to seeing cartoon things in sigs), but this one works well. The dark, almost night sky looking, background works very well with the render. I just think a softer lighting effect on the head could have worked better and kept with the darker feel of the sig.
Riley: Oh my god do I love the background on this one. The use of negative space on the right is terrific and then the flowery acrylic looking designs spiraling out towards the negative space is so aesthetically pleasing. I also really like the aura-y waves coming off on the left side. Very well done on the background. My only problem here is the render, but I can't fault you for using the stock Venonat picture. Also, this may be my favorite use of lighting on your part, as it really accents the white florals.
Shiny: As I already mentioned briefly, I love this sig so much. I really do not have a single bad thing to say about it, really. The blending of the render into the background works so well, as does your use of the lines (the proper name of which escapes me right now). The flow of the sig works so well with the flow of the image too. And the colors, my god the colors. I love the white and shades of blue here. This is also your best use of text. It is simply, accentuates the color scheme and flows with the render. Amazing job.
Zekrom: The background and lighting effects on this one are fantastic. It really gives off the sense of impending doom from Zekrom coming down to destroy worlds. Not too much to say on this one other than that I would have liked the lighting to be a bit softer on Zekrom. Possible like there are shadows cast upon its face or something. Nothing major.
Well, I hope some of that helps you. Pointed out what I thought was good and what I thought was off a bit. All-in-all, though, fantastic work. ^^
