Artwork Banner after first C4D MC Render

Jackelele · Apr 27, 2017

Hello,

After posting this thread of my first Cinema4D Render of a Minecraft character, I was determined to put all of what I can do together and the outcome is below. Any feedback or suggestions on what I could improve or should do next is appreciated and please do comment something ;)

I will admit there are some sizing issues with the icons on the left, I may fix this later on.

Very impressive, but with everyone there are things that could be improved:

Center the text more
If you're adding the background in post editing then try to shade the rendered skin so that it blends and looks like he's in the scene
Try a 3D background with the character actually in it.
Put some white light over the text where the lens flare is coming from, to make it look like the text is also in the scene.
Move rendered skin closer to the middle.

But overall you should be constantly trying new things, that's the only way you'll get better. I wish you the best with your graphics, you're doing fantastic work.

Ahaha, thanks for the reply,

1. Text was meant to be placed there, I know how to center things, I didn't center it purposely.
2. I prefer it when the character it's not in the background but thanks xD
3. Hm yeah, this was my first time with the lens flare etc.
4. I didn't want the character in middle either, so you can actually see the background ;)
Thanks <3

It makes it look really odd, things are supposed to be centered, because that's where people's focus is when looking at a channel art.

I'm honestly frazzled as to why you prefer it... o_O

Cool banner, I'd love to see more banners made by you in the future, I like it! :)

I should remove or make your social media smaller, it's ugly and biggggg.

But I really like the other things.

What @StorySays suggested is true. (I should do that to) :)

Couldn't be more wrong. In art, the main object is usually placed off-center because if it was in the center, it would get too much attention. Also, the picture looks bigger when the main object is off-center.

It's the main object, it's supposed to get attention, it's the text, it's the thing people read when they look at a channel art.

It's supposed to get attention, but not too much attention. Read about the rule of thirds pls.
Which of the following do you prefer?

You can't possibly compare the text on a channel art to a photograph of a landscape.

Now tell me, which do you prefer?

You can't compare a banner with a background, a character, letters etc. with a picture where the letters and the character are combined (and thus one objet) and there is no background.

I know, I was agreeing with his opinion, then it sort of overflowed. Anyway, both of you, feedback appreciated.
