TheComposer Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Good render job IMO, but the banner is too plain :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Render is a little choppy around the edges but it doesn't look too bad As for the banner, it's pretty much a render on top of a gradient. A little too basic IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n.gangster Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 ok. how do i get or make a good background on gimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Sakura you didn't even notice the white background? Render is not a render because it has a background so I can't comment on it. Probably because you uploaded to TinyPic which doesn't do PNG, upload somewhere else renders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Just a heads up, Tinypic does upload png....check the sprite in my sig for proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Ah ok, it'll be a saving error. On Gangster's part, always save as PNG otherwise the image flattens and you end up with a background on a render. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, but Tinypic supports png and he uploaded his image as jpg, that's the problem And the background is not a gradient but more of an image that was recolored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Blue Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 *Sigh* . Renders are images with NO backgrounds, this means the background is transparent, you cannot see it, it's not white it should come up with black and grey checks. . Often or not you make your own backgrounds, you can do this by downloading/scratching your own brushes and using various other tools such as gradients. . If you decide not to make your own background you can 'borrow' one off of the internet and use it, be sure to edit it and be creative though. . C4d's are OPTIONAL, don't be a sheep and slap it onto god-damn near everything you do. . And finally never, ever, ever be a sheep, this means don't follow the others. Be yourself and always put passion into your work. I have never re-done a piece of mine to make it better, simply take on board the information and take my next piece to a new level, I don't want to be an elitest as that will make you a robot.
