So I guess I'll just put all my stuff here instead of making several threads :mellow:

You can comment on it if/when you feel like it and lmk what I did wrong or can fix or whatever so I can get better :D
I'm seriously, genuinely interested in this stuff and like to learn more about these things (GFX in general), I was never really an art person, guess I changed ._.
It's not cause I wanna make soo much FG either xD... I just wanna be able to create nice things that look awesome... and then I'll feel awesome...

I'll try and do at least 1-2 a week, here's the one I just finished

Followed this tut: http://browse.deviantart.com/?order=14&q=signaturetutorial#/d489c3v

I sort of wandered off a lot and didn't put text cause I know I can't do typo very well at all >.<
I know that you guys are gonna be so critical and point out so many flaws so, lmk

need to up the contrast a smidge, and sharpen your focal.

then add some lighting by new layer set to color dodge, and add some highlights on low opacity. Keep what you like.

Um so like this?




Besides I'm pretty sure I already did those 2 last things many times throughout making it, but did them again anyways ._.

What did you do to your c4ds? Why are they white? Why did you smudge them? Plus your splatters are way too obvious and out of place. You should use different splatters aswell, not just the same one. Also looks like you started with a bad texture so you didn't have much to work with. That's why you have so flat looking background.
Verticals are a bit trickier though, I'd advice staying horizontal for now and practice smudging and c4d use.

Those white things are supposed to be fractals and that's how they look on linear dodge :x
And yea I know, it was a bad texture, thought it looked cool at first but then couldn't make it look nice later >.<

You need something with contrast to create decent smudge. And the tutorial asked you to use pretty basic c4ds, just something with one clear 'laser'.
