YES!!! Now you are finally on your way to becoming a great artist!!
But seriously, stay away from the lolanime renders and stocks. Now focus on stock and renders like these; real-life images.
There is absolutely bugger all things wrong with anime renders and stocks. Real life stocks are in some cases worse. Like this. Four focals? Seriously? That's a good idea?
Now both you and I know that the stock in here could have been used in several different ways that there can be a main focal being focused on. Overall, real-life stocks are way much better.
Waaaaay much better.
It's mostly the quality and depth. Although some people stocks can be LQ. But it's more likely to be an anime tag with LQ and no depth than a people stock.
Anime stocks are much easier to work effects into as if you add say a c4d to a real life stock it looks to un-realistick, but i do love the pen tool effects with real life
Bit boringn flygon although your moving in the right direction.
DF, are you serious?
C4Ds have a way much better appeal on real-life stocks.
-_-
Omg, must I show you intermediate tags involving this?
You are like missing out on a lot of stuff d00d.
Lol my tag is mostly made up of C4Ds, and a few stocks. I think they work real well with people, I don't see why not. You just have to get the blending and colors right.
Well, first I want to say there's completely nothing wrong with anime renders. Some people's styles revolve around anime stocks and renders like me, and people like :F11:: style revolves around real life stocks and renders. The type of things you put in the tag depends on if you're using people or anime pics and then you build off of that. Now, for the tag...after looking at it more closely, I noticed some smudgin at places weren't even with the other side, which made the tag seem lop-sided. As Jytz said, using C4Ds wouldve improved this tag ALOT. That, and a light source with more color...
