^As far as I'm aware, neither of these have been looked at. I guess I posted them in the wrong section, but I submitted them for those weeks, so if you guys could look at them too that'd be great.^


And here's this week.

I'm giving these 2/5 and 3/5. Here's why, the issues are the same both, but I don't want to see the effort be ignored, because you tried to do a lot it looks like.

So @Titan127 let me know if you have issues or questions, but here's what I'm noticing, and let me know if any of this is wrong.

The recolor - First off, let me start, love the effort, it shows. Don't know if you're using GIMP or Photoshop but I know the magic wand tool when I see it in either. It's a good attempt to single the colors out and recolor the stuff. You're trying advanced stuff which is awesome, but there's a better, albiet slower, tool for the job, the pen tool. What the pen tool does it lets you select the area and go from there and lets you really fit it to the area. The giveaway is the white outline on the 94, the pen tool lets you get aorund that by selecting and filling where you want. If you want help with that let me know.

Ok, on to the second thing that I would love to see in the next sigwork, the contrast. You got these great renders, and in the second one I want to use this as an example, you got depth, your player isn't in the stands, they're on the field. So let's make them pop a bit more. One thing I always do is take like a 300px soft brush, in a yellow blue or red (depending on the sig) and throw it behind the focus render on a new layer. Set that layer to dodge, screen or soft light, erase where it looks bad (soft eraser) and then it gives the render a bit more pop.
