Rusty as fuck. V for Vendetta.

[Aborted]

So I dusted off PS after about 1 1/2 years of not creating anything, and this is the result.
Not even close to being my best work, but meh.

It was hard working with this shitty render.
Poorly cut and cartoony:


​Tried to put my classic flair in, which is dark photorealism with dynamic lighting elements.

If you must use a badly cut render, don't blur the choppy edges. It might be harder to do in a lot of cases, but with this particular one, you could actually use a black or dark gray and pentool over them so they're smooth.

That angled strokes background.... dayum, not good. I suggest you add like a dust and a different floor, and maybe some better shadowing imo. payattention to the colors, in this case the different tones of black and white, because some parts of the render almost merge as one, hard to identify, like the border of the hat and the cape (it is already hard with the stock render, but now, its almost impossible.

I actually did pentool to fix a few of the edges, as well manually repairing spots with a brush. The spots of heavier blur were to indicate motion and distortion, especially on the upper regions of the cape. I do know what you're saying though, and I usually do as such to repair shoddy renders.

It's rain.
The trajectory of the rain is even adjusted and contoured accordingly to realism, i.e the left leg and upper bounds of the cape.

In regards to the shadowing, a lot has already been done. Areas directed toward the light source are slightly brighter and have directional highlights, and areas away do not, and are slightly darker.

The entire idea behind the piece was a darkened silhouette, so small features and borders are of secondary importance. The focal point is not really the figure in itself, but the face, placed accordingly with the Rule of Thirds, emerging from the dark and blurry background.

Ok, perhaps the lack of a floor made it look like worse for me.
I seriously need to train Gfxing, pretty much everyone can make a decent piece, I must be the only one who makes shitty gfx here

I would argue that point.

[Mokou-Sama]

I would argue that point.

what point exactly?

[Aerozynx]

what point exactly?

GFX is like anything else, if you practice you get better.

[Ryan]

what point exactly?

Two points, actually. One being that everyone here can make something decent, two being that you're the only one who makes "shitty gfx".

I am trying. But when I compare to other ppl, I think I have a long way to go, and I dedicate great part of my time trying to improve.

1st, it is hard to believe that 2nd yeah pretty much only me to make shitty gfx.

Did you use fibers as rain?
