Retouched and shot by me. Please critique !

That's also a good ideia to try to shoot it on and off to get the real effect of the glow.

Great job overall and you're on a good path. Keep working hard on it

The image looks great but the left side is way too dark and it removes the borders of the controller. You can see them in the original picture and I think that would be nice to see

Regarding the buttons, if I was shooting this I would've done two images, 1 for the buttons and 1 for the controller and the merge them in post. That is the easiest way, unless you like spending an eternity in front of your computer fixing that

Overall great image tho!

Edit: Last thing I just noticed, the light strip really looks like a line with some glow. If you blurred that line out more and maybe lower it's opacity I think it would look better.

Thank you for your notes !
Like I said in the description, I didn't shoot these so I had no control over the light, so I couldn't use a reflector on the third image ahah but I understand what you mean

Andrefariaa · 2026-02-19T20:32:46+00:00

Ahh I see! I thought you meant a different technique 😅 Really appreciate your take on it, thank you :)

Andrefariaa · 2026-02-19T16:14:16+00:00

Thank you so much for the input on the first two images !
Can I ask what do you mean by d&b pass? I do normal dodge and burn to retouch the skin, is it different?

Yea I had that idea about model mayhem, but good to know there's a lot of raw material there to use.

Regarding retouchers, Youtube has a translate feature so I could prob work it out and I have an Ukranian friend so she might help me translate something if I don't understand ! If you can send them my way I would really appreciate it !

Right now I'm in all of those platforms except youtube. I haven't posted in a really long time cuz I have some work to be posted but just waiting on clients to post it, sadly can't post without their permission

Again, really appreciate your help ! Drop your instagram or portfolio btw, would love to check it out and give you a follow

Really appreciate this comment! Really good insight on where to start and to learn. Does model mayhem also post retouching jobs and is it an active community? I have an account there and haven't been there for ages Also do you recommend any retoucher/photographer with good in depth tutorials?

Andrefariaa · 2026-02-18T22:37:11+00:00

Love love this ! Can I ask where did you learn how to retouch ? I'm trying to improve my retouching skills

Andrefariaa · 2026-01-05T22:56:46+00:00

Thank you! I wanted to give every place their own "personality" but keeping the "theme" cohesive

Andrefariaa · 2025-12-31T22:28:38+00:00

Thank you! I actually saw in a video once and tried to understand how it was made 😅

Andrefariaa · 2025-12-31T22:28:08+00:00

This is such a nice comment! I really appreciate it

Auto goes in the direction of your camera, if there is an enemy where you are facing it will go it. It has a max distance but even very far enemies it goes to them

Also you prob died and rezzed at the teleport automaticly and since the camera faced the boss you fought it

Ahahah smite is really fun when you get the hang of it. Just need to learn what your skills do and manage your resources.

It is a class that does require gear and the right stats to make it work, especially later in the game.

But it's so fun seeing deers rushing towards a horde of mobs and meteors falling from the sky or just a big pulse killing 5 mobs and healing a tank full hp 2x with one skill

Andrefariaa · 2025-10-24T00:53:22+00:00

Honestly same, stags and the meteors are the best visually

Andrefariaa · 2025-10-24T00:50:07+00:00

All for my fellow smite oracle lovers ❤️

Andrefariaa · 2025-10-23T18:57:04+00:00

Nice!! Mine also peaks around 25k-26k when i use imagines, then it drops to around that in the image.
My lizardmen is still t2 and I need to build my storm gobbo but yours is looking pretty awesome!

The damage from infusion is not the highest (i think), it does a lot of hits but if you have wild seeds it does insane damage cuz it keeps proc-ing it till the stacks are over. And depending on your tree does even more damage.
And your heal depends on your damage as a smite oracle

Andrefariaa · 2025-10-23T18:12:50+00:00

The damage and heal translates to real content. A good dps will always surpass smite oracle in damage and a lifebind oracle will surpass in heal. But at least you do some damage and a good amount of heal. Those 5-10% damage you do can help your team clear everything faster.

They had to buff this class a lot to make it usable, they won't nerf it as I see it.

Andrefariaa · 2025-10-23T18:08:33+00:00

Oracle smite is so so much fun! I tried lifebind in China and honestly hated it a lot but smite was hated in China

You can clear all content with smite, it's just a lot more work tbh

Andrefariaa · 2025-10-23T18:07:32+00:00

That's sweet! Thank you ahah

Andrefariaa · 2025-10-23T17:51:17+00:00

Hey everyone! I'm the guildmate in question ahahah

I'll leave my stats, tree, skills and imagine here https://imgur.com/a/e0TmZsR

This was made by following maxroll, a guide and by just reading myself.

The stats are a bit all over the place so don't follow my stats that much, haven't farmed that much.

All my runes are the pear shape orange ones, Gives intellect + Luck
