- Blind Mag

Text looks pixelated and the overall piece lacks depth. No lighting or shadows either so its very 2D unfortunately. However, I love the render! ;)

http://i60.tinypic.com/28k1vd2.jpg- Excalibur

Too many renders, overall piece looks cluttered and lacks depth. It is also suppose to black and white everywhere :rolleyes: but hey. I'm liking the name of the piece. :D

http://i60.tinypic.com/2w2gd2e.png- Smoke Bombed
Too much empty space, render is too small and the piece lacks depth. Try placing some C4Ds infront of the render. The C4Ds also look a tad spammed, try spending more time positioning them. However, I'm liking the combo of the render and background- nice modern sci-fi feel to them both. Well done! :cool:

http://i.imgur.com/4RAa9uD.png- The Afro Samurai
Nice text, good level of depth and some awesome C4Ds! My only crit is that theres a bit too much empty space on the left.

http://i.imgur.com/qtBvKa8.png- Escaping Dimension
[HALO]
My guess is that this is Miimo's. :rolleyes: Nice level of depth- though the c4d to the top left looks rather random. Loving the theme of the piece though will the soldier being in a land of ruins. Excellent! :rolleyes::cool:

http://i.imgur.com/EEDfLjB.png- Fallen Angel

Decent piece, good lighting and depth but the C4D to the top left looks rather random. Try re-positioning it or using a different C4D.

http://gfxresource.com/uploads/imgs/...w_finished.png- Wiz Khalifa

Excellent level of depth and good lighting, loving the background. Though I would personally remove the section in front of his shoulder on the right hand side.

http://i.imgur.com/zQCJdin.png- ^bittersweet lulu^

Lighting isn't great imo. The text has good positioning and the render and the background go very well together! The C4Ds look pretty nice near the bottom but towards the top they look spammed- be careful on that.

One of my favs- congrats. :rolleyes:

http://i.imgur.com/GteYvir.png- Fury

OMG amazing! No crits here as I've never done that style before. :3

http://gfxresource.com/uploads/imgs/...ftftf_copy.png- B&W Smudge
Neither have I done this one aha. :P Excellent work!

GL to all who participates :D
I'll do some CnC later.Also,the last tag (the "B&W Smudge") is may bae for this TOTW :p
February 3rd, 2015
Trux

Sorry for the double post,too lazy to edit the above post :p :rolleyes:

http://i59.tinypic.com/2jcgbqu.jpg- Blind Mag
I must say the same thing as FireThief...the text is pixelated,and the piece lacks of depth.Try adding some contrats and more details - the top left of the piece is empty.

http://i60.tinypic.com/28k1vd2.jpg- Excalibur
The text is red...and it should be black,white or even grey *a gradient of those colours would be great*.Nice attemp,but there are 3 renders...and the sword *i think this is the focal* doesn't pop out too much.

http://i60.tinypic.com/2w2gd2e.png- Smoke Bombed
Ok...the tag looks ok,but it seems to be more like a WIP.This doesn't have any foreground effects and light source.Some finishing touches would help also.

http://i.imgur.com/4RAa9uD.png- The Afro Samurai
This was is mine,ok :p FireThief said mostly what I was thinking too.

http://i.imgur.com/qtBvKa8.png- Escaping Dimension [HALO]
Yeah...mostly Miimo made this.I really love the flow on this one,the pen tool thing is great,but the left c4ds are random...Also,I can see some brown on this piece,exactly on the mask of the soldier.

http://i.imgur.com/EEDfLjB.png- Fallen Angel
This one looks pretty sweet,but this is anoter WIP.The lightning is good,the c4d placement is nice,but i would love to see some finishing touches on this one.

http://gfxresource.com/uploads/imgs/...w_finished.png- Wiz Khalifa
Raw...I know you are here :D.That stroke is killing me...i don't know why you use this style of strokes,but I really don't like them.The overall appearence seems good.

http://i.imgur.com/zQCJdin.png- ^bittersweet lulu^
Ok...I have more things to say about this.The lights are good,the render is nice,but the c4ds are misplaced IMO.The background ones are good,but the foreground ones are too spammed.Also,the text is nice,but i think it works better on the down-right part of the tag,to be closer to the render.

http://i.imgur.com/GteYvir.png- Fury
This one is my 2nd favo in this one.Great contrats,nice touches and sharps,but...it's not my favo,sorry.

http://gfxresource.com/uploads/imgs/...ftftf_copy.png- B&W Smudge
This one...is just great.I f**king love the smudge style,i can't see any mistakes on this one,and the smudge is just perfect.Good job,voted!

CnC Since I'm not in the comp.
http://i59.tinypic.com/2jcgbqu.jpg
uhh i dony like this, the text is hard to see and everything is so messy. there is no depth or flow.

http://i60.tinypic.com/28k1vd2.jpgI don't even know what happened here :|

http://i60.tinypic.com/2w2gd2e.png-
Effects are overused and c4ds are spammed. too much contrast also.
milos?
http://i.imgur.com/4RAa9uD.png-
Text is good, however it would be much better under his armpit. The focal should be moved towards the left a little, and the c4ds twirling is useless.
Naughty, trux.
http://i.imgur.com/qtBvKa8.png
Eh... not fond of this one, the c4ds are pointless and the neon light around him does nothing but add flow issues.
not sure :Z
http://i.imgur.com/EEDfLjB.png
It's way too dark in this one, i cant see any shadows either.
I think firethief made it^
http://gfxresource.com/uploads/imgs/...w_finished.png-
This is one of the best imo, good use of c4ds and fx. Although, it could do with a lightsource and lighting.
I think FireLizard made this
http://i.imgur.com/zQCJdin.png
meh. The text is ugly. Wait... you posted this in the League of shadows team lounge o.o Naughty, witch.
Anyway, once again, move the render left. light source is way too bright, and shadows are non-existent.
