Somebody doesnt know constructive criticism :roll:

Anyhow. For the first, if you had more of the teal brushing in it, to balance it more it would be good. The lighting on it is very nice though.

Second again the lighting is good, but not feeling that shade of red. something that would look cool is to have maybe her lips be red with a different shade. Think that may look cool.

Third I like it, would say if you had the word black in white color, it would be better. But the lighting and everything else is really nice

Fourth just seems a little too dark for me to make out exactly whats going on in it. However if you tried giving it that effect to go with the suffocation text, then nice job lol.

All nicely done. Im used to seeing very impacting colors and lighting effects from your signatures, so its interesting to see them in black and white.

I :love: b/w. Try using ink or adjustment layers to bring out more depth. Also, play around w/ placement of effects + lighting.

blah blah blah, graduated high school in '87 do the math. Thre was color photography of course, but black and white took more skill (and was cheaper) so that's what we did. As I said I prefer it.

None of those signatures up there were made of renders - all stocks.
Working with stocks are way harder, since you're not "just" adding stuff - you're manipulating the image.

Thank you, everyone, who gave me CONSTRUCTIVE critism.

And for those, who just said "I don't like B/W" or "B/W sucks" - Go **** yourself or make something nice.
