new sig

iSmudge?

[Maffe811]

Damn this is nice!
There should be some smoothing here and there to make it look like depth.
Its epic, but.... i just don't feel the depth...

I agree. the smudging and colors are very nice but it needs a blurred object in the foreground to the far right of the sig. It doesnt even have to be complete, just a part of an object like a street lamp or sth.

Adding something in the foreground looked weird. So I blurred some stuff to try and add some depth

Idk ... to me, your signatures always shined because of their awesome depth. This one is a step back in that matter. However, the smudging looks very nice

The smudging is great, as usually, but the depth just isn't there... A step back, maybe, but the colors are really really really awesome!!

Edit:
Im bored so i made this:

and with my suggestion of depth:

The bar at the top!
Red where i would blur and blue where i would keep it sharp to create depth.

I guess you messed it up this time Maffe
The person should be in the focus, thus the "back" of the image must be sharp and the "front" must be blurred. You did it vice versa

[virtualTune]

no you are wrong Baum. The person is in the middle of the image depth wise, thus the far back and the foreground os blurred. he did it correctly.

[Ian-]

That's where I had it blurred in the last pic, so I just intensified the blur some.

[virtualTune]

is there any way you can increase contrast or sth on the sharp part so it pops more. atm it looks like it has all been blurred a bit

[Ian-]

this what you mean?

[Arzoroc]

I really see the image differently then. To me it looks like the person is standing in front of a kind of wall (depth-wise) and the left and right sides of the image come closer to you. Thus, the "wall" (the colors close to the person) and the render itself should have the same sharpness because they've got the same distance from you.
I'll try to show it to you

Maffe however sharpened the things I would've blurred and blurred the things I would've sharpened.

So to me it is <wall>, <girl>, <things left/right fly towards you>

[Maffe811]

This is how i see it:

[Arzoroc]

So why did you sharpen the edges then? According to your graphic it should've gotten blurred
That was basically my point. The background (the thing I called wall) is not visible because of the render anyway, so that's the smallest problem.

This is quite cool. The smudge and lights are nice.

In any case, the depth was just fine the way it was at first...
Depth=/=blur
