The first sig is your best. i personally dont like splatter stocks/brushes, no true technique in it. the last layer (light blue) needs to be filled more.
when using splash. to me it has to be neat used for my liking.

The Second sig, right side is way to empty. work on blending the colors as well from the blue and orange. needs to be more vibrant.




The Third sig,I would love to see a 760x240 size from this alone with more vectors. i dont know how the original stock looks like but it looks super saturated.
I imagine with more of those vectors around miku on the empty spaces will make it look nicer and not boring. needs color adjusting.




The Fourth sig, again with the empty spaces. not a fan of this. to chaotic on the render and the back. the colors are hideous. this one looks like it was slapped all together in less then 4 mins

it's ok to like chaotic styles but makes sure it is easy for people to understand and to look at with out making away the focal.
there are other things i'd like to say but the ones i mentioned here are the ones that you should try polishing.

/e you should stick with penning for now. your pretty decent at it. I am still learning how to make good shapes when i have time. it is really hard for me for some reason
anyways good luck

Yea, idk why I added it in, thought it would look cool but imo using that is more for LPs or manipulations than everyday tags.





O.o wow thanks for taking the time to type all this out and actually look at each and every tag, I appreciate and can see what you're saying on a lot of the tags. I doubt I'll come back to any of these but will definitely keep this in mind.

Also thank you BlazinPhil for reuploading the tutorial for me, here's my outcome with some slight changes



I wanted it a tad darker, rather than very bright.

Best one so far.

Agreed

Keep up the good work.

Thanks you two.
Iso some more tuts.

This one is a little odd, for another forum the sotw theme was pregnancy, I didn't think I was going to try but did anyway

wasnt expecting you to make changes was only implying would would have been better

if some areas were more vibrant and brighter it would look really nice




too much contrast and poor depth. the bottom right side doesn't need to be their. the text looks fine but it would've be nice if the contrast didn't overpower it.

Contrast cuz high pass on soft light

omg lol im sorry i was on my phone and my phone is on the highest lighting setting. just got on my laptop forget my last comment

Updated it anywho.

Idk now though, text is ahrder to read here.
