After a 4/5 month hiatus, I'm back at gfx making. Here's my first, mostly pathetic attempt at recovering my previous skills (laugh all you want, but I actually took a hour and half to make this, I kinda lost myself trying to blend stuff x_x). I felt the need to change the normal size of a standard signature and made a tall banner instead. See right now, I just need constructive comments. I need to know what is missing, where it's missing and if the banner overall flows well on your eyes. Oh and one note about the different colored arrows on the lowest part of the banner. I actually just realized that coloring those with different shades of blue actually fits more than those colors but, honestly, I can't be asked at the moment to change that, so, hum, yea.
I quite much like it, but the gun in her hand looks kind of weird. More comments.. Well, I think it looks good for the first time in a while
The hair is too bright and yellow and blond, and the red and yellow pixel squares don't look good on her arm. Those're the only things I can find wrong; otherwise, it's lovely.
The hair is natural from the render. I don't usually modifiy renders because I want to make them look the most realistic. So yea in case you were wondering, her hair is that much blonde naturally. About the pixel squares, those were a silly attempt to break the monotony on the top part of the sig, specially on the colors, aswell as the squares to the left of her head. If I'd remove these elements and saturate her hair, the whole banner would be a lot monochromatic, which is a style I don't appreciate. Though since you think it's better, I'll consider it next time =) And milo, I was actually thinking about removing the gun and the hand which she was holding it. It's just that then, as I said to phee, it'd lean towards the, hum, monochromaticnessy (xD). Btw, this was the render I originally used, it might help you compare: http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w40/ ... szm1xb.png
Its ok, the one thing I don't like is how you essentially only have 4 colors (white, yellow, cyan, and black). There aren't any colors in between, only big patches of those four colors with little gradient and mediums. However, the "ZERO" at the bottom makes up for the colors 10-fold
