lol It's not like he's claiming it as the most innovative shit to hit the site. Yeah it's repetitive but it is actually a pretty cool style when done right. The real issue here is they're just not up to par with his older stuff of this style which is to be expected since he rarely makes stuff.
Yeah prob could look good with some more elaborate render effects on it and I thought about trying some stuff but I've really been liking the clean ish lately.
I could try a Drummond one if you have a nice full-body air pic of him — bc you kinda need that for this to work.
Yeah I'd chill out on that a bit. Colors like that tinted pink/purple you got are the result of that and it doesn't look too sexy. Try to use more natural coloring from stocks and such and use adjustment layers in a more subtle manner to "adjust" what you have.
Of course there are situations...
I like what you got goin on here. Looks really sharp, and over contrasted/saturated in areas, though. Gotta be careful with those little things because they could really bring down the quality of a solid piece.
