Now see that looks very nice. The image is clear and viewable and the gleam of light gives it a distinct texture without actually obscuring it like the Ike sig did. Not to get all psychological or anything but as humans we actually have a part of our brain "The fusiform face area" that is literally designed to be attracted to human faces. Again the problem with the Ike one since the face, the part of the render we're most attracted too most likely, happens to be mostly obscured.

That problem doesn't occur with Chrom here.

Good job.

yeah i put in hours with the ike sig, the image is just s*** but its a big point in the game
where ike saves lucia, and he looks badass so i wanted to make the sig but it was just too hard

and thanks brofist, the image was really easy to work with here and had not trouble :)

edit brofist, look at the ike sig, i changed it up a bit

It's definitely looking a bit more clearer when I went and looked at it but unless you can do something about the glare it'll still have that issue. Since the light is behind him, most of Ike shouldn't really be the obscured, since the front of him is technically the dark shaded area from the light. His back, if we ever saw it is the one that would be greatly lit up because its the one getting the light.

I went up and checked out the image and I think I see the render of which you used for it. It would appear that it honestly has a good light source to it already, the upper-right of Ike's head so honestly you probably didn't have to brighten it up so much. Of course your Signature should enhance the render which is pretty much the visual point of the entire thing and not obscure it.


One thing that you could do is that since the image already seems to have a decent light source to it, there's not much you need to do there. I think you used a Lens Flare along with brightening up the sky where the light source is at. The Lens Flare is fine I think as long as it doesn't obscure anything to important. But perhaps instead of adding more light you could always add a sort of texture and let that radiate through the image and give it some light.

Here's something I did. Nothing very elaborate just very specific light source.
Spoiler: click to toggle

Since there was already a decent light source, instead of making the light source brighter, I instead opted to "evolve the light source" I went with a red shade and just sort of had a light pink outline across Ike and Lucia's upper bodies. The shoulders, the top of the top of the head and side but kept the "center" relatively clear of any light that would obscure it. I was trying to give it an almost "dawn" or "dusk" like look, still keeping the light source but not making it too bright so that it again obscures Ike.

Ike is after all our main attraction here and we want him to be the focus of attention. It doesn't have to be red, for example blue would probably have worked as well, I just thought red went better. But beyond anything else, its the face. If nothing else, we should be able to see Ike's face relatively clearly because our eyes our going to automatically be driven to that focal point.

Hope that helps a bit.

EDIT: Probably should've posted this in the Ike Section but...forgive me.

Np, I'm checking it out the current Ike you have imo looks much better now. The image is clearer now, the light isn't obscuring the image or Ike's face. It definitely comes out as a much more improved version Nice job.
