You've definitely defined your own style. But I think you should try working with more colors. Try to make more vibrant things. It can help you realize certain things that can improve your abilities greatly. Also, C4D's help tremendously when trying to add color. Look at some of treefrog or Ca1bas work. They use a lot of color.

Also, if you can, try to follow a different tutorial for every sig you do for a while. Just take lessons, don't try to imitate. If you use C4D's, try to use a tutorial for C4D's.

yeah because right now whenever i try and add new colors with c4ds they look horrible

You've got the smudge/grunge style down nicely.

Perhaps open up to a few more styles, try something maybe with a polished solid background, less grungey perhaps, like vector or C4D.

You definitely have a talent for putting together a good blend and flow, kiu=)

okay so this one i dont think has a lot of extra colors added but i used some c4ds this is what i got

[Sustortias]

Yup, noticeably different style=)

I would say bits of the fx overlap too much in places, especially within the focal, on her hair and at that baseline.

Could be cleaned up in places. Before applying a whole image to layers for end processing and adjusts, might be an idea to individually view each separate layer and do a tidy up, takes a little more time but worthwhile.

Mmm, looking at it again, the problem is, if you remove those overlaps all the flow will be at the left whereas i think you'd have been better with this piece having the focal left side and building flow out to the right.

Definitely to my eyes theres too much going on in this one.

Always the main attention should be drawn too and around the focal for best results, too much outside of that and the eye strays away from the focal.

A bit too light in that top right corner too, same principal.

It's still decent work, just needs a little honing so the eye hits the 'wows' before any excess spills.

Is this better i went through and deleted some of the c4d layers and covered up the light spot in the corner

[Sustortias]

Much better
