*McDavid 1/31 - MN_Moosey - 01-31-2020 *McDavid 1/31 - Nokazoa - 02-21-2020 Sig 1-4 - 4/5 - In this initial series we liked the concepts, and really liked the neon stroke layer you ended with. The swaps are done well enough. None are outrageously amazing, but I would like to say the Louis helmet is very nice. What could be done to improve your sigs? Well text and backgrounds need more refinement. In all of these, you played with different fonts, but kept similar placement. I would play with placement, and keep progressing in what you were doing wit the lefty Louis text. Though less with the stroke outline and more with the inner. Background wise, the gray scale logo is a good starting point but maybe a slight motion blur or some gradients that mimic you light edits could bring it home. Sig 5 - 2.5/5 - The issue with this one is more pronounced compared to Chip Otle. One is your cut. See around the hair where the cut is very rigid. While i wouldnt advocate to cut out every hair strand, the cut feels very blocked in. Then you have how dark the render is compared to the background. If you play with the curves you may be able to fix this, but I would also suggest darkening the background to avoid washing out the render. Lastly, I would have gone more off white in your background. The white matches the forum white a lot, and it leaves an odd effect in my opinion. Text and placement are acceptable. Sig 6 - 3.5/5 - Rising Equinox like this one the most, and there is a lot to like, but there are similar issues to the previous one with the background and it feels like more could have been done. The swap is appreciated, but the logo does feel out of place. I imagine the warping didn't come out right. Total Payout (4x1m)+550k +850k= 5.4m
