While I like your twist on this, it looks like you found a picture on google, switched up some of the coloring and added text.

So, I'd like to see what you can do with renders.

Go to the Xiled Design Training Grounds, and make me a signature with Test Image #53. Focus on the lighting of the render.

Use these guidelines:

NAME TO BE USED: XGC Charley XS

THEME: training Ground Test Image #53, blood, Diablo 3 Monk super powers, and fire.

COLOR: oranges, reds

Please keep in mind that the MAX pixels for a Signature is 500 px by 200 px, the MAX pixels for a Banner is 400 px by 75 px.

Hi! I'm Austin. Allow me to help you in this journey.

First, I see your thought process with the glow effect on the render; however, I think it may have missed the mark. Please see the attached diagram of the light shadows found in the render.

Secondly, it appears that the render may have gotten stretched during the resizing, causing it to look a little skewed. Many programs have a lock option to keep them in ratio format. Most of the time, you can utilize the "shift" key to obtain the same effects. You do not always need to use the entire image in the signature.



I'd like you study a photography concept called "the rules of 3" (or "rules of thirds", depending on where you find it). In a nut shell, it states that they way a Human's eyes analyze an image, it divides the image into sections, approx. 1 third at a time. The philosophy is that key items should fall on these parts, as it's a natural area the eye is drawn too, and seems more pleasant in the translation to your brain (the human body is fascinating!).

Focal points and text that fall on these intersections create a more thought out image.

Thirdly, harsh lines on renders make it seem like images do no belong, and we want to avoid this, as we're trying to create a seemless, cohesive piece of artwork. Sometimes, just taking a small smudge tool or blur tool to the outline can soften the render, and make it feel more a part of the image itself.


I'd like to see you remake this image with the advice given.

Thanks,

Radio.

Better! It looks crisp. Might be a little small for your client, but you can choose whatever sizes you'd like. Every artist kind of has a size they default to.

Yes, i usually like 400×200 but it would be stretched for this pic so I went smaller. Anything else for advice?

You don't have to fill the sig with the focal. You can have empty space. The use of fractals and C4Ds can help fill the space and give depth. When I return to work on Monday, I'll give you more to work on.

Yes I see your point. I myself use a 450x150 signature size. at times it gives me a bit of trouble for the length of what I am trying to do. Although from time to time it allows me to work with smaller images. That image looks a lot better. The lighting seems to be more localized to a specific area which is good. Possibly try some new C4D's.

I would have yo get a program for that. Any recommendations?

For sizing a image you can use gimp or Photoshop for c4ds you can get those off of websites.
