- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 6, the lantern is a light source and should behave like one; it should radiate light, not have it cut off just like that. The background, at first glance, looks appropriate but, because it appears to be at the same level as the faerie and is bright green, it draws too much attention.
Typography: 7, the text has some thematic relevance but in the grand scheme of things it feels disconnected.
Creativity: 6, the faerie isn’t blended in at all, and some white artefacts are visible around the staff, and there is some random white text in the bottom corners.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 6, the prominence of the background and the cutout appearance of the lantern heavily damage this piece.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 8, think the lightning could be a bit stronger and more effective, flow looks very good. Could use some more background blending with the render I think?
Typography: 8, text fits the whole sig
Creativity: 7, pretty cool signature but could use some more 'magic' effects I think
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 8, the white text at the bottom bothers me a bit.
DoYouPlay_RS
Proof: [x]
- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 9, the theme is not totally apparent with all the thingymajigs all around the place.
Lighting, flow, and depth: 5, the whole centre is too bright and the woman’s body is blurred while the hand (which has excessive contrast) and face are not; this creates a dual focus, which does not work well.
Typography: 6, bright white text next to an ever more bright whiteness is a bad combination.
Creativity: 6, the whole white glow around the woman doesn’t look very good, the ball of light on the left should not be darker than the other one; light sources do not work that way. Also, the border could do with a different blending option.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 5, the increase in brightness to create a focus is just too excessive and the distracting background pretty much cancels out that effort. It may have looked better if the whole background were alike the lower left half.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 7, could be a bit more 'magic'
Lighting, flow, and depth: 5, the glow around the render looks odd and besides a blur effect there isn't much blending. The lightning/shadowing also could use some work. It's all a bit too bright
Typography: 5, think the text font doesn't really match the magicv theme.
Creativity: 5, nothing really special done.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 6, bit too bright and could use some better blending
NGAF
proof: [x], [x]
- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 9, the left border is too light, thus distracting.
Typography: 6, simple but has little connection to the piece’s content.
Creativity: 8, the single pixel border on the left looks quite awkward, and the white letterbox doesn’t feel like the perfect choice.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 9, it is quite excellent until one notices the border that just doesn’t do justice to the piece.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 7, looks okay.
Typography: 4, it would've been better if the text was a part of the actual signature.
Creativity: 7 I like the noisy effect however I think there could be done something more with fireball in his hand. (or w/e it is)
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 7, don't really like the text and borders.
14th
proof: [x]
- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 8, great flow but it gets obstructed by the misplaced text, and the white glow on the right side feels a bit off, which also hurts the letterbox effect.
Typography: 6, the white text is too distracting while the purplish is not visible enough, and it could very much do with being placed just slightly to the left, preferably with a different blending option and/or font.
Creativity: 8, there appears to be a strange region on the bottom left part that kind of looks unfinished, and also the render is a bit too sharpened.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 8, the text isn’t too great but otherwise it’s quite nice.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 9
Lighting, flow, and depth: 8, great flow and lightning, shadowing could be a bit better.
Typography: 6, text isn't bad at all, I would've used a clipping mask tho.
Creativity: 7, left side is a bit too empty I think could've done more with that.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 7, doesn't look bad at all!
Jayon
proof: [x], [x]
- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 4, none of the elements appear to follow any flow and there’s little distinction between the render and the background in terms of depth. Also, the flame does not cause any illumination of anything while it should.
Typography: 3, the bottom text has a very rough outline that conflicts with the glow of a most horrible shade of blue; this combination of effects might have worked if the glow were of a less saturated blue.
Creativity: 5, the flame is good but nothing appears to be impacted from its bright light.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 5, the blast of fire is very nice but the rest, the inconsistent and incompatible styles bring the score down.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 9
Lighting, flow, and depth: 3, no real lightning done, and the render doens't blend in at all.
Typography: 2, text shouldn't be so far, and those 2 font's don't match at all.
Creativity: 4 I see what you're trying to do but needs a lot more work. The fire is quite nice tho.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 5, text needs a lot of work and looks very unfinished
TheBegone13
proof: [x]
- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 8, the colours are so bad they obscure the theme to a certain degree.
Lighting, flow, and depth: 2, there appears to be some sort of flow but that doesn’t help at all with the horribly horrible colours. Also, the render pretty much completely blends with the background.
Typography: 2, the colour is too similar to the background and it really could be placed slightly more left and down. It doesn’t feel like a part of the image at all.
Creativity: 2, the background appears to be of really low quality and that doesn’t help with the low quality render, which at parts is almost indiscernible from the background.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 2, that render should not have been chosen to base a signature on without making any edits to its appalling colours.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 9
Lighting, flow, and depth: 4, needs more lightning and flow!
Typography: 3, weird colour for the text and could use another font and text.
Creativity: 4, could use some more effects.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 4, quality is very bad and here and there it needs some work.
Stealth
proof: [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x], [x]
- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 9, the light next to his watch does not illuminate his hand like it should.
Typography: 7, jagged edges along with excessive use of effects does not amount to anything good; it would probably have looked better as simple black text without all the unnecessary, subtle effects.
Creativity: 10, all those little light add a really nice touch.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 9, a very use of various light effects though the text suffers from an overwhelming amount useless effects.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 9
Lighting, flow, and depth: 8, looks all very good imo!
Typography: 6, edges look a bit odd because of the glow I think, mayby another font would've worked better.
Creativity: 9 kinda like this style, the background stock could mayby use some work.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 8, text could use some work I think. Nice to see you're trying some different styles!
McManins
proof: [x], [x], [x], [x], [x]
- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 8, the spells’ light could really have had some impact on the surrounding elements, like the runestones.
Typography: 6, the golden text’s glow is cut off on its right, and the white text has legibility problems due to being anti-aliased bitmap text.
Creativity: 7, the runes might have not been the best idea the way they were implemented. Also, the background isn’t very effective for this piece.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 7, it’s a fancy idea but it lacks a spark.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 9
Lighting, flow, and depth: 8, the fires lightning could use some work I think, other than that it looks good!
Typography: 5, placement could be closer to the text, and the My magic level is a 99 really didn't have to be in the RS font imo.
Creativity: 7, really like the idea
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 7, here and there it still needs some small improvements.
CrisoDer
proof: [x], [x]
- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 6, the orbs of light are perhaps too prominent for their own good; they distract from the render a tad too much.
Typography: 5, the colours are too vibrant against such a dark background, and there’s no blending done.
Creativity: 5, little has been done to blend in the render; this is most noticeable around the tip of the staff. Also, all the orbs of light not in the bottom right corner are kind of jagged and not really consistent with the former.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 6, the render looks good on the background but the text throws in a monkey wrench.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 5, I'm missing the lightning and the render isn't really in a flow with the background.
Typography: 3, using a font like that is a no go, and try to move your text closer to the render.
Creativity: 5, think you could've done more with the render and the background..
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 6, try to work on your text and on the blending with the background
Acharlemagne
proof: [x]
- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 6, too much going on at once, so the focus is unclear. Also, the balls of energy do not illuminate the body like it would be expected.
Typography: 5, its placement isn’t very good and the colour is kind of weird in combination with those effects; maybe a texture could be added to make it fit in better.
Creativity: 5, the effects’ colours don’t really match up with the orbs’.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 5, overwhelming amount of stuff yet it largely feels disconnected.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 6, almost no flow with the background, the render doesn't feel a part of the bg at all.
Typography: 5, the effects are actually quite okay, but the placement and the big font size ruin it. Try moving it closer to the render and lowering the size a bit.
Creativity: 4, think you could've done more with the orbs and the background scenery.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 5, doesn't really feel as a complete signature.
Tuff Tiga
proof: [x], [x], [x]
- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 8, the light on the left might be just a bit too bright; it would be nice if it would reveal some more detail underneath. Also, the bolt of light on the right is kind of dark.
Typography: 10, it’s gracefully simplistic.
Creativity: 8, the letterbox effect doesn’t well together with the darkish, desaturated colours on the right side.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 9, it’s pretty but lighting could be improved.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 9
Lighting, flow, and depth: 7, the left side is way to bright, other than that all looks quite ok.
Typography: 7, placement could be better at the left side of the signature, and mayby with a clipping mask effect then (white wouldn't be visible there)
Creativity: 6, I think you could've made a good use of the fireball on the official render in his hands.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 7, overall pretty good, mayby a small improvement to the lightning and text.
xDamon
proof: [x]
- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 9, it all looks just a bit too washed out.
Typography: 10, elegant and beautiful.
Creativity: 9, the border doesn’t feel right; it would probably look better without the black sides.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 10, it’s great and the little quirks do not hurt it much.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 7, not everyone will immediately see it's magic related.
Lighting, flow, and depth: 8, looks pretty good, mayby a little bit too bright.
Typography: 9, simple but still very good, that's how I like it.
Creativity: 7
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 8, aside from it being a bit too bright mayby, it's a very good sig!
King of Dicing
Proof: [x], [x], [x], [x]
- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 4, the depth is very unclear and all the shiny effects are confusing.
Typography: 3, in all honesty, it would have looked better as plain text
Creativity: 3, a mishmash of stuff, and nothing has been done to blend in any of it.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 3, it doesn’t have any visible attempt at unifying all of the stuff that’s in there; it’s probably too large for its own good.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 9
Lighting, flow, and depth: 6, looks quite odd since the background is black & white while the render is not.
Typography: 3, keep your text simple, this one is just too complicated.
Creativity: 3, still needs a lot of work.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 5, try to not combine black & white bg with a colored render, usually doesn't work very good. Try using other blending modes for your C4D so they are actually a part of the signature.
Grim lReaper
proof: [x]
- Inhap's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 10, very clear as to what is the focus and the positioning is excellent.
Typography: 9, quite disappointing compared to the rest of the image; at parts it’s far too light and that ruins it.
Creativity: 10, excellent job at blending all of the elements and adding subtle touches to it.
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 10, a truly great piece.
- Jiri's critique:
Theme: 10
Lighting, flow, and depth: 9, lightning is very good, the lightning coming from his wand looks very realistic
Typography: 8, it matches the signature but I still think it could use some improvement.
Creativity: 8, very nice work on combining all the stocks to become such a great scenery
Overall look\feel\effectiveness\composition: 9, bottom right side smoke is a bit too blurry, aside from that it's very good!
