Just popping by cause I haven't commented here for a while; the one that caught my eye on this page was this one:

Great colours and effects, the lighting is well-done too. I like how it's really quite different from a lot of your other work! It's great

Actually, I like the first better, lol. I like monochrome colour schemes and it's better rendered. Although I have to say, the effects in the second are cool too.

And another kind of freebies, because I had the material, the time ... and there's ( at least one) individual than want some ''sexiness''...

Spoiler for nudity for the first, small clothing for the second:

ganbaru, do you still use photoscape (?), cause I can see some improvement in your works, but after so long I was expecting quite a bit more. You should try and get a better image editing program, GIMP for example is free if Photoshop isn't available for you.

A few tutorials will help you a long way, trust me on that.

Good luck and keep it up ^^

ganbaru · 2012-05-30, 15:17

^ Yes, I am still using the same software as before ( PhotoShop Element) and to be honest, not plannig to change it soon. The software isn't the issue, as my current serie do not require ( for most of the signatures) much skill as they weren't intended to be in the first place. It's one of thoses serie where I vafue more the idea or the intent than the skills and look.

Thank for the encouragement.

Mr.Raw · 2012-05-30, 16:38

Well said sir, well said. I like your way of work, and the signatures still look soo awesome

So what's the idea behind a coffee shop waitress and a C4D? Since you didn't draw any of them or modify them for real, it's not really your work is it? Nor your ideas. Or they have been the same ideas for the last 33 pages. Don't get me wrong, I was intending constructive criticism, but apparently some people can't take it.

Good luck, ganbaru ^^

I do not have tha same approach with thte freebies than the signatures than I use. There's no ''idea'' behind most of them. I use the freebies for trying thing, sometime simply to keep me in a weekly ''routine''. I don't draw any of the material than I used and I never pretended so, sometime even said who was the artist than did draw the material ( or at least the artist tag used on danbooru).

I am pretending to be a good signatures maker: I simply do the signatures than I use, a bunch of work than (at a few exeption) will never be used and some gifts.
Nothing more.

I see, but surely your render isn't your work either? I might as well say that ganbaru's ideas surely just comes from his imagination. I mean no-one else would tell him to do this and that when he has done it for the past 33 pages like you said.

ganbaru-sempai:
I for one really enjoy your works. I see you have a style and you like it, and as long as you're happy, that's what matters. You're trying new ideas and keeping some old ones and changing some of that too. Some are more successful than others, and that's the way it goes. I always look forward to visiting your thread and seeing what you do!

Just a few suggestions:
for c4d, rather than using the whole thing as a bg, set to screen and erase parts you don't want, or use c4d brushes. Add it to the background and around the render rather than just using it as is.

^an example. I used a red c4d to add some effects to the bg and around the render, erased parts I didn't like, moved it around, etc.
Also, try to match the nature of the render to the bg: you do a great job of that with the series, and in many of the freebies: e.g. the top right one of the current four. However, the bottom right one doesn't really go together since it's a soft render of a waitress on a space-y c4d bg. It's a matter of balance

Keep up the good work.

Mr.Raw · 2012-06-01, 04:44

Why is everyone talking about C4D, you can use so much more, like just stocks (clouds) or fractals

Play with the blending a bit and you always get a beautiful result
