#2 - Love how I didn't notice the text for ages. Portrays 'survival' well
#7 - I like the blending, lots of things to see
#8 - Good flow, action. Does the lack-of-colour justice.

#6 Solid tag, has decent flow, compo, and color. Just seems to be lacking the "wow" factor. Also, doesn;t pop well, feels kind of flat.
#1 Good effects and color, however flow isn;t the best. Far too much topaz.
#5 This would be way better if the render was smaller and there where more effects.

#2 Needs more depth and lighting control, the tag is so bright it just overpowers everything
#3 Composition is the big issue here, it feels like it' supposed to be 2 separate tags
#4 The smudging, while basic, is decent. However, the complexity level just isn;t there.
#7 Right side feels "disjuncted" from the rest of the tag. Great depth though.
#8 Suffers from the same over bearing brightness as #2
#9 Not quite sure what to say other than I am just not feeling this tag

#1: good composition however the lack of flow on the right side is disapointing...My advice is to flip the c4d's so the top one instead of going / goes \ and the bottom one does the same.

#2 the left side is overly light and makes it so you can hardly see whats going on while the right side is slightly over darkened. the one effect right infront of his face seems kinda counter flow which messes with the composition as a whole. good clear lighting however.

#3 theres so many focal points my eyes just gave up on looking at yours and scrolled down to the next one at first. from what i can tell you have the girl/the robot/and the text (yes text is always a focal point if its not done correctly). on top of that it looks like the right side is a black and white robot render with you randomly putting brushes over it. The colors however stay constant which is a positive.

#4 this sig would be 40x better if it didn't do the over used cheesy png pop out. it was cool, 5 years ago when people first figured out what png allowed. 2 good uses of light source and your render stays constant through them. as well as the text is not distracting however it is kinda bland. your boarder also turned me off...it looks much nicer when you dont try and be fancy with the boarder. a black line at the very basic would of made it nicer. i would of liked to see the double movie bars tho as it would work with your sig better.

#5 you were trying to go for the dissolve effect yet there is nothing being disolved. his arms near the very ends should be almost completely gone. No use of light source which would of been extremely helpful as well as using better colors. red/black always work but it makes it hard on the eyes.



#8: nice use of either smudge/scatter into clippingmask or some weird c4d's into clipping mask however the left side is kinda blah...i personaly would of croped alot of the left side out to get rid of some of the blank space. also you dont have a clear light source...it looks like its the top left but theres some light being shown on the render bottom right so using the burn/dodge tools would be good.

#6: bad choice using the light blue, it stands out weirdly and isn't part of your sigs color pallet because of your use of purple.. i would of used a mix of brighter red/purple that matches the color on his arm or a dark dark blue. same thing with #8 on the light source. his left arm is extremely bright but then his shoulder is not/light is shown on the right side of his face. However, there is no light source shown in your sig so that should not even be there. Burn and dodge would help. i like the text tho because im a huge fan of people who know how to use clipping masks haha.

#7 i cant see anything...at all...good flow but i cant really see. Is that halo? iiiidk...i think your trying to do the burn off effect but i cant even see your focal unless the text is your focal....because i can see that extremely clearly with the border on it. right now your text is the focal for something where you never want the text to be a focal unless its a typography sig...i would take a white brush and move it allllll over and then set it to soft light so i can see what your doing cause it looks interesting...yet i cant see it

#9 text is the focal again. id k what is up with you guys using weird boarders but seriously it looks weird. i would of liked to see a light source because your colors are good and in sync

Why would people vote for #6, cmon, its the same guy that did a bear tag, same colors, same technique, the same border, the same font.

I dont have to improve my work. My work is better than your "same-style" tags. You are the one who needs improvement. 2 tags are enough to show your style. Learn something new, instead of using CS5's features. Your painting style is not in fashion anymore, :chiprel:

P.S. - Why do you troll the thread, insted of voting, noob? That is because you dont want anyone else to win.

I hope you are as good in HoN as you are with tags. /end sarcasm.

Id like you to participate in the Next Sotw then. Ive been in more sotws then the last 2 and since i won with the bear tag is it so weird i try the same style again? Look at my other work and btw: i dont use cs5, the smudging is freestyle

[Russian]

People dont vote for something different, people vote for the same stuff everytime, that is.. my friend... why I stopped participating. That's because I've noticed that something is not right. That Secron guy, he receives entries, and also make his own. Its cheating, you know why ? because he can see our entries before we do. The system is corrupt, that is why I am not participating.
