Vendetta

[Fatalysm 237]

I downloaded photoshop because I felt like making something... It's been a while. I guess I now have a forum signature. Absolutely love V For Vendetta so this was a no brainer for me to make something like this. I actually half followed a tutorial to use some different techniques because it's been a while, obviously always got to take my own spin on things but it was interesting see what other people did.

Edit: That awkward moment when your signature cannot be your signature because it's too big.

Cool idea to share your sources, woulda been neat to see what the stars back in the day used (I assume Youhei is actually like, banksy or something)

Sigs were such a cool way to put together a piece of art. I like this a lot, especially when you're coming from a break. If I'm being truly objective I think V's a little flat and could use a little pop to differentiate him from the background; the V works really well following his form but I think it could be better. Maybe some moreshining on the left (his right?) side? I dunno. I would just spam space stocks. I miss this stuff.

I've grown so old now and I think it's just this realisation that even though my picture isn't watermarked or something I'd really care about someone stealing, I'm now in this headspace that everything should be credited, for the people who put in the efforts. Also I kind of like the idea that in a couple years someone might see this thread and think, lemme see what I can do with those assets.

You're definitely right about V being flat. I should probably have messed with bokeh and depth of field, adding more effects over the top. One mistake I made was adding the original V render over the top of everything I'd done and simply lowering opacity before colour grading etc. I think If I'd taken the render to a lower opacity, added in some foreground and blurred it out a little it would probably been better.

After I added in the V for Vendetta logo I was sat at my desk thinking... I know, I'll make it a 3D space and have him interweave in and out of it. For about 0.2 seconds I was like...."Yes, I'm a genius." Then back to immediate mediocrity.

Space stocks ftw.

You should just do some stuff!

 

Edit: Here's the psd, incredibly simple stuff.
