Uppers >>>
- good compostion
- right amount of light source to complement the background
- text isn't overpowerin
- gradient maps work with render
- brilliant work with a render i'd probably never use
Downers >>>
- ur c4d's look a bit random and don't really work in there simplicity (thats mainly talking about the red ones at the sides)
- i don't really see a big difference between the 2 apart from the text and rights darker on v.2
- her hair looks really iffy dude, like its been cut wrong or summit, i think this may be done to ur blendin which i have had no problem with in your other work, i reckon its just the render myself
- also under the hair ir looks like theres a bit of the existing background from previous render image (the yellow lump) this doesn't look good to me, i know this may be part of the c4d to the right of her but it doesn't work under the hair, but i do know if u probs take this out it'll add to the previous downer i stated
Addons >>>
- v.1 needs that light @ top left to balance it out more
- redo the c4d effects at the sides, try manipulate the shapes to the right of the render larger to create a sort of whirlwind of them surrounding the render. i think it look good if she was placed sorta in the mist of a tornado or "whirlwind" of c4d's
- take out the bit under the hair or add to, so it don't have that epic straight line at the bottom of it, looks cut off
- possibly make the text less opac, not much. but more visible if this is the case, try make it more complex, because its got to make a statement if its bolder
Views >>
- i woulda started with a lighter background appose to black, if you look at the render its says peace and tranquility, using a dark background is givin the wrong impressions to the render and creating mixed feelings. using a white backround u woulda got away with the hair outline more i think.
Summary >>>
v.1 - far the best out of them 7/10
v.2 - slightly to dark and flat than v.1, me no likey 5/10
all in all, i think this is a step back to your current sig ur using atm... get ur design cap back on y0
