Evens' Photoshop Stuff

So... I've been doing these for a while now, but I don't seem to be getting any better. I'll show you my latest show below, so could you give me some advice?

This one has a nice colour scheme and the lighting works really well.

The only thing I can suggest is that you make the background more relaxed and less overloaded with brushes.

It looks a tad bit messy and kind pulls the attention away from the girl.

Try moving the girl into the middle more as well. It kind of feels like she's being pushed to one side.

I would also suggest you position the text on a horizontal angle and then place it closer to the girl as well. This way our eyes aren't wondering all over the signature. =)

This one looks fantastic in my opinion!

The focal point has been nailed brilliantly and the brushes/effects behind the character look amazing!

The colours all work brilliantly together and the text is positioned close to the character which is excellent! The font also looks fantastic!

The lighting looks great and the black border works nicely.

The only thing I can suggest is to erase some of the brushes or C4D that have splashed up near the characters face.

The main one I can see is just to the left on their hair.

Other than that brilliant work!

This one has a nicely colour scheme happening but the overall signature has too much going on in my opinion.

The background looks busy and too overcrowded and Ed seems to get lost amongst all the business.

I would suggest you try to place him on a simpler background and blend him in, but keep in mind that you make him the main subject of attention. =)

Yet again another excellent piece!

The person is blended in very well and the effects surrounding her look brilliant!

The only thing I can suggest is that you erase some of the brushes up near her head on the right. It just looks a little too much up there.

The text is positioned well near the girl, but I would suggest you use another font and try to blend it into the background just a tad. Lowering the opacity a little will make it look less slapped on.

I would also suggest removing the text '2998' over on the right.

One line of text is enough. If you must have the '2998', move it underneath the other text and make it a tad smaller in size. =)

Keep up the great work! I look forward to seeing more from you!

You're right, it does look rather messy... I was trying to really show the flow, but ended up going a bit overboard... xDD

You know what... I hadn't even noticed that one. ;; Thanks!

Good point... I actually used a stock image of a city street for the background, then distorted it... I shall try with a more simple one like on the one above.

It's actually 42998. xD But yeah... I tried to hide it a bit, but originally I put it there because the person who requested it has tried to claim other people's sigs as their own before. I think I'll remove it now though.

Thank you for all the suggestions!!

Id say thats definately your best one and its miles better than all the others you posted. Nice simple colours nice brushing and clipping around the render and well placed text, The purple gives it a bit of variation aswell. Great tag i wouldnt change anything about it.

Would you recommend I stick to having simple backgrounds like that one then? ^__^

Definately not. You wont improve if you keep doing the same thing all the time, keep trying new things and perfecting other styles that your not so good at that way ul become better all round at GFXing.
