Oh, and on that forum where I lasted three years (maybe four to four and a half) I've been a sectional mod for two of those years. I give the best CnC you've ever seen, but only when people ask for the harsh stuff.

I guess I'm done posting in this thread for now, you can lock or whatever you feel you should do. I'd rather not get a bad record for me defending my art. :]
While that is nice and dandy, defending your art isn't your best option.
Maybe for once in your life you aren't completely correct. I mean the actual art piece itself, you could love it, but that doesn't make it perfect. There is always room for CnC.

I am not going to lock this thread. There is no need to lock this thread.

That is actually quite truthfully two of the most boring sigs I've seen in my life.

A minimalistic sig does not confine just to brushing + sprite. Those sigs have no effects that are worth a second glance. A minimalistic sig doesn't mean that you should have two layers, a minimalistic sig can have a shitload of layers, but still the sleek and simple look of it.

I wouldn't even CALL that minimalistic, it's cluttered and boring.


You mentioned that you only took an artists point of view on your work. If I were you I would shoot that fucker for lying.

On topic, I feel like for your attempt at depth you kind of just took your blur tool and blurred parts you felt should have been out of focus. I always found it best to incorporate depth throughout the entire tag, and not just at the very end. It gives it a more realistic look to the tag.

With that said, imo both tags are killed by a severe lack of depth. Minimalistic or not, the lack of depth hurts it bad. With that little amount of effects your depth has to be spot on or the tag won't catch anyone's eye. Effects are usually what do that but seeing as you have a lack of that the depth would have to be the eye grabber. Needless to say, I don't have the inclination to look at those tags more than once =\

Siarnaq: Two layers? You're funny. That's all I say to that.

Sparduh: I'll trust your opinion then, and I'm not going to jump out and bite you (unless you ask nicely, that is). Since you understand the logistics of TRUE tagging. And you're right, depth isn't there, and I actually didn't blur anything on purpose. I sharpened, since they were already blurred, and it was blurry just from working in Photoshop, not even me trying to make it that way.

All: Thanks for the comments, negative or otherwise. At least I get comments on this forum :]

There are a few people here that understand as much if not much more than I do at this site.

KaBooZ is one of them (to think he used to look up to me and GFX haha)

You can usually tell which people here know what hey are talking about so stick to those comments.

Not to be mean to anyone here but I know for a fact that when I started out it was so hard when people didn't leave anything constructive...

I tend to leave my cnc to those who accept it. Not to those who decline it.

And yeah, you used to be one of my fav taggers back in the day, boy those days were awesome.
