be brutally honest, I can take it. First signature I've ever made, looked at a few tutorials and got some ideas and this is what I came up with. I know the text is horrid, but I just threw it in there so I could use it until I improve and get better.

Seriously your first?
Great job for your first piece.
Don't take that the wrong way though, there is still plenty wrong with this.
but like I said for your first, great job. Keep on practicing.

I'll leave the CnC to others who might know a little more :P

I know there are some patchy spots on it, like on the main left center side and top right corner, i couldn't get those to go away for some reason. Irks me hard -_- and I'm sure my blending isn't the best, but as I said. I looked at some tutorials, watched some youtube videos and this is my result. Also this is with Gimp, not Photoshop. I downloaded the trial for it and it confused my tits off. :p

Most reasonable story i've read in here for a long time.

Don't get yourself too comfy with praising but i must say it is very good for first attempt. Centered focal doesn't work well in it though. There are flaws that can be fixed but i won't stop on them for longer. Start with basics and practice with tutorials - that's all what i have to say. You might have a great start to something.

I don't want praise, praise means I'm doing something good, and I know this isn't good compared to the work of more senior graphic artists. I want hardcore brutality with what I need to work on techniques and ideas that will help me improve etc.

Are you some oldfags multi? Because what you are saying just sounds too good.

I'm not praising but saying what i think. It is good one compared to what i am used to see as first attempts. Just saying, you have potential. Put some work and time in it and you got your back covered.

No I'm not a multi :p I just have been creeping on the forums, and I see people making tags and are like "I'm too good cnc me" then when they get the truth they bitch and complain. I would rather not be one of those people :p

not meaning to double post, but I tried my hand at a b&w signature, followed a guide. I'm not THAT thrilled with the outcome, but I think my blending and flow creation is improving :p

Flow is ok.
Blending is alright.
You're improving but still need tons of practice.
Nice to see you're actually listening .. I'm still with LindeRKV on this one.. this feels like a troll. Too good to be true. lol

Anyways in B&W pictures you really need to bring out lighting, contrast and depth from my knowledge.
Lighting is really important to make things pop.

Also I don't know if it's just me but I think you can work a little better on trying to bring out your focal.

Anyways if I'm "wrong" with anything I've said I'm sure someone will correct me.
Keep up the good work though. You're on the right track.
