Off Topic Productions

I don't mean to be rude, and I apologize for being so critical, but I can't say that I like it. I think the problem is that the coloring is off. It doesn't really look like a billboard.
Also, I think a font similar to the original used on the Holy Smokes would look better.

the font actually is Comic Sans, its just stretched, I've corrected it as best I can.
I also added Jesus' extra layer of hair which was missing (I mistook it as a halo). I've toned down the lighting
made everything as dark as the original, and added some texture to it. I feel it looks about right now. But yeah feel free to let me know if I need to change anything else. Thanks for the criticism.

I think I went a bit nuts with the dark around the hair actually. It could be better.

That actually does look a hell of a lot better. The only other thing I can think that could use improvement is the face. It could use a little more definition. Otherwise, I'd say it looks great!

That looks cool Pop back a few pages and you'll see I posted the PSD for the '40 sign I did, I think all it needs is some real grunge to dirty it up

Ok so yeah I just went over with a fluffy brush and made everything look nicer, the heart was lowered down because it was too contrasting- it was too sharp and too bright so I've toned it down and made it transparent (I know the original didn't have this but I feel the effect looks nicer as a whole).

Dave you can download it here, http://www.davidguttridge.com/holysmokesbb.png

That's pretty good, it's certainly more "billboardy" than the the previous couple.

you sir are a legend ..

Lol I think ModDB just died. Good work Dave hah. (in other news downloads hit around 10,000 for that one day).

It does appear to have gone down.

On the torrent side of things most of those in the swarm are around 60%, I'm keeping my PC on indefinitely. Luckily my ISP doesn't charge for uploading so I don't mind. Anyway I hosted the torrent because quite a few people were complaining about the lack of a torrent to download from.

Here's the link:

Landmark: 20k + downloads.

The torrent is going really well, over 100seeds and 100peers right now.

Good job with the billboard, Mr_Cyberpunk. Also thanks to the good criticism from flib.

Hope you can be of further help!

just a quick WIP shot of what I'm working on now.

Off the top of my head, 1. The eyes are in the wrong position (she should be looking down, not at the camera) 2. Her Left arm isn't thick enough. 3. Her Bra has holes which need to be covered up, from the looks of things its either leather or metal- its a bit hard to tell,I'd go and argue its leather. 4. she's got no hands or feet (working on it). 5. she's not smiling, the original has her smiling. 6. she's not tall enough- I think that might be the hair though.

I took artistic liberty with the choker, I know the original doesn't have one but I feel it adds to the idea that she is a dominatrix plus it helps establish the neck a bit more, it may end up being a case that I won't need it in the end, but we'll see- I just needed something there to show where her neck starts and ends. I also put a few lines of hair down the side of her face to give her a bit more of a sexier look as well as establish the ear, I may correct this though. These are really just there to help me out for when I put the shadows in.
