I prefer this style wayy more compared to your "darker" style, Gothic Daniel has blossomed into rainbow and unicorn Daniel :p



I'm not really finding alot of things to talk about on the negative aspect about this tag, so that's a good thing on your part, or because the tag size is small :p

Alright, the size of this tag is a bit on the negative side in terms of showing off your skills because there's a smaller amount of canvas area to work with.
I don't see a main lighting area in this tag, or maybe I'm getting older :3
To enhance your lighting, fill a new layer with black and set it on linear dodge, then use a soft brush with the color that you wanna highlight and after adding lights, adjust the opacity to your liking. Also, you could try highlighting focal points in the tag, or points where the areas that need light by using a white softbrush on the specific areas and setting the layer to overlay.

I really like what you're doing with the depth, with the foreground C4D's being blurred and the background being blurred (though the background is a tad too intense), nice touch anyways :)

Alright, now you know what brings this tag down already; yes its the text :p
The font choice for the word "medieval" is alright, but the other one is just horrible...Vivaldi? What were you thinking? :p
Anyways, you'll get better with experience :D
The render's better suited for a vertical tag, not a long vert though, but the placement is against the focal rule.. but meh..

KIU and thanks for trying to improve the quality of the DH threads! :)

Finally, some colors from you! :bouncy: I know you like to make dark tags but come on, this is like hundred times better than the dark ones, you know. ;)

So, ye... I like the tag even tho the size is rather unique. The size, actually, reminded me of the old tags that GFX-ers were making like few years back, and I was never fan of those cause, just like Horus said you can't really see your skills in that little space. However, the more I look at it the more I like it, actually.

What I don't really understand is where is that light on his right shoulder coming from? Is it from his hair? Is his hair glowing? But the position of that light doesn't look like that. That is what is not working for me. I would rather use the same type of light u have at the front.

And God I hate that hair on the render. Just saying, don't kill me. :p

Overall, you are awesome. I mean, awesome work, darl! :bouncy:

Hehehhe thanks Azulina :yayy: .
Well, the thing is, I actually tried to dark the hair, since it was too bright. And believe me, I wanted to remove the hair too. And the light in his shoulder was there since the beginning(the render was like that). I thought it wouldn't be very noticeable, and that's why i didn't pay much attention to it. That was my downfall ;_;. JK xD
Really appreciate the CnC. Thanks Turtelina :p .
