some recents.
i've gotten back into tag making.
nothing great here. Just practicing some different things, so these are all experiments.
The only ones I particularly like are the sauron ones and then the eternal sunshine o.t. spotless mind, aha.




CnC please, with basis. ;D

Smudging/clipping mask, aha.

if the stock didnt stick out like a sore thumb it would be sooo much better

Your old time smudging roots are showing. I see it and I like it <3
The purple one down there has a sick amount of potential. For that one in particular, I'd suggest to add more directional orange lighting to make it pop to the eye a bit more. Or maybe even gold, hell. Quality of it is sick.

Then for Sauron, I'm into the whole experimentation with sharp focal points. But for some reason, it comes off as sort of choppy against the tag's blurred background. Concept of its good, but I think that you could play more with finding more harmony between the shades, so they can play off one another better. more Curves / Levels.

Mr. Adams there is nice. But I think that it would have been a little more appealing if the stock had better quality. Then the one below it, effect/smudging wise can use a little more innovation. Maybe if you use the clone tool to create more of that smudging to create another kind of flow? That tag feels as if it needs more to it. Since its saturation washes it more with whiter tones, then it needs another dominant effect so it doesn't look so dried - out.

The green one is nice, yet I think it would look a little better if it had some well - worked typography in there.
