L0SS Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 [spoiler='V1'][/spoiler] [spoiler='V2'][/spoiler] Edit: V2 added. Still a little flat/monotone, and probably could have been filled more. CnC appreciated. This'll do me until tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 The C4D just seems plastered and out of place. The overall piece feels very monotone and simple. Lighting probably would've worked a little better maybe on the top of the renders a bit more and/or brighter. Whatever that red line is it just looks out of place as well. So get rid of that, I recommend placing the c4d behind the render itself and try to make the render and the c4d become one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, the monotony drags it down a little. I filtered it, but I think it was too intense. The lighting would definitely work brighter too. I'll play around with it, thanks for you points, Torm. Helpful as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 No problem glad to have been of service. I'm sure you'll improve vastly over the next few months if you can keep at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smear Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 As Torm said, the C4D is kind of out of place, and the red line from the C4D is distracting, pulling our attention away from the focal. Your render is also too far to the right. There's a certain point that you want your render to be. It's explained in this tutorial, as well as many other basic points. Take a look at it. Don't follow the tutorial, but just look at how it explains the basics. You should use the rule of thirds, it's extremely helpful when it comes to this. Your blending has definitely improved. But the whole tag itself is still very flat. Adding depth is definitely helpful, but I find it the hardest out of the basics, and still have trouble with it. I see you made an attempt at lighting. While it's a good try, it's kind of wrong. You need too look at the lights and shadows on the render itself. Dark Red - Your attempt at lighting. Blue - These are the lightest parts of the render. You should try and focus your lighting on the parts of the render that make sense, instead of forcing it somewhere else. Green & Purple - You could have made this flow really well. Because of the render you used, it created different angles that you could have made flow. If you can see something on the render that would help it flow, go for it. You're getting better and better, just keep going Also, tip: Never use Overlay on C4Ds. Something that you will also hear from me and NW.(Even if the one you used isn't, I'm just saying.)

Twenty-five Zero Oh-oh Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 v1. Idk, I like the overall composition. Just work on your colors and blending. Also, a solid gradient for bg makes it look kinda unfinished. Try putting c4d's in the very back on soft light or something maybe to break up the solid gradient.
