    So, I kind of missed GFX and thought that I might try it again (since my last channel did really well the last time I did something similar), and I wanted to revive my channel after multiple failed attempts.

    I am actually enjoying this, and gives me something to do instead of being bored, and would appreciate the support. I know I haven't exactly been "smart" on the forums recently, and my actions were immature. If I could take it all back, I genuinely would. I know I can't exactly just wash it away and the next day people will see me differently, I will work back to what I once was.

    I think this is a good start, being happy with what I am doing.

    Thank you, and like, I know it wasn't the point of the thread, but I still think it's important that I get it out there.

    Oi, Get commentary up there personally I get really boring listening to music while watching minecraft, You could just do it because little of the people that watch you are gonna Judge you and people will Judge you but not 50% of your viewers.
    Just try it even though i lost all inspiration and died.

    Yes ofc, just trying to get a pop filter and a proper mic. I should get it soon since it's in the process of the move, so my videos can be better.

    It's useful for outside noise, plus my editing software gives me an option to remove a certain amount of external sounds which I can change (the percent).

    I prefer to do my own photoshop work, and I am pretty sure a duel is a 1v1, if you mean a collaboration i'll think about it.

    This is pretty nice, bro. It's overall very good. But somethings you could have done to improve your work would be to directly edit the brightness/contrast since the original image was rendered in a bright field, while the background image was slightly dark themed. You could also have added a glowing effect to the pumpkin eyes / zombie eyes by using Gaussian Blur effect (I doubt I spelled it correctly). Finally, you could have duplicated the text layers, placed them under the original, rasterized the layer, and motion blurred it to about 10-15. That would add a nice little effect. You're GFX overall is very good, I have put some examples of the GFX I have done, if you would like to see them. Keep up the good work, bro! :wink:

    I'm self-taught. I'm still re-teaching myself after ~7 month break from GFX and photoshop. I see that you used C4D for your rigs, and although C4D is a really nice program for things like this, I like the simplicity of Blender and the rig I am using is really simple and looks clean.

    I also appreciate the tips you gave me, that way I can do better in the future. I've recently posted a video and it looks like I accidentally covered some of the things you said.

    I'll work on improving this!

    Oh and dude! I used to use Blender in the past, I made my own little cape rig. If you want to use it, here's the link!

    And my little friend over here made a video on how to add curves/bends to it, like you can in cinema 4D!

    Hope this helps you out!
