why close such a beautifull topic???

i didnt even get to reply or flame

anyways, im not in any of them forum you mentioned, some of these are when i started out, i didnt have that many so i jus put in any i felt like it

and to slater, when someone says sumtin sux without any reason, it just shows how stupid the person really is,

please tell me what i actually did wrong instead of saying i dont like your style, its ugly. i can comment on yours easily but i wont since its not worth your time to read such a mess

also to answer your question, i want to see if i should go all out with the animations but since noones gonna tell me, i have to test it out, jeeze not that hard to figure out :dunno:

anyway block the sig but i still dont know whats the limit of kb size

dude seriously... i closed your other topic because you're too lazy to even think of a topic title, come on man...

actually it has a hidden meaning :rolleyes:
i thought you would get it too. . .

Allright, i have been making sigs for a long time already, here are my comments:

* Background.
You used a lot of layers of brushing. Not a problem actually, but because of the random colors used, it looks very chaotic. I personally want the render of the sig to stand out, not the background. It also seems you just use filters on the render, and put those as your background O_o

* Render.
Why are they so dull? Sharpen them up. I also dont like anime in sigs, but thats just personal.

* Border.
Try a 3px border, look for it on www.good-tutorials.com. I cant even call those cuts actually a border.

* Overall.
Use less colors, sharpen things up, learn to make a 3px border. And work on your text, most of the time it doesnt even fit the background. o_O

Btw, what happened to the Mario sig O_o

Alright, comment my sig.

Quota your sigs are like when you finish them you merge all layers, copy the single layer, put on a gaussian blur of 5 and switch the layer mode to overlay. All is so blurry.

And work on your text. It has to go well with the Background.



Slater, your sig is ... I dont know what it looked like before but it just looks like a 3D shore. You boosted the colors, put on a pattern and write Slater in a Pixelfont. Pixelfonts dont look well atleast not in signatures.


Its a long time ago since i made signatures like that ... I may start again.

Its a fast foto manipulation, because i didnt have any other sigs on this pc XD

Got a stock photo of some water spashing to a rock.
Did some gaussian blur + ripple.
Added some brushes (alias vector grunge), a few scanlines, 2 px border and pixelfont text.

Oh, and i love pixelfont, thats why i always use it XD

That's pretty okay you gave it cool look. Well done. I've never been into game renders or stuff like that i allways sticked to real persons. This one i made like 15 minutes ago. Took me around 10 minutes to get back into signatures ...



First i wanted to smudge but that looked crappy so i had to go simple ...

aguilera sucks. literally.

After some random editing, i came up with this XD
It looks really strange, but i like it XD

I think she hawt and i like her voice ... But thats just my opinion.

B2T :

Its kinda green but mine is kinda blue so thats okay and OMG PIXELFONT. But w/e its your style so its okay.

background-can you tell me which sigs are like that? i can tell you, i dont do many brushing unless its a tutorial or something so you got something wrong there(mario was brushes obviously), random colors wtf? i manipulate the render into the background jeez and theres stuff called gradient maps and color balance and photo filters

render-theres only like 2 sigs with anime renders in them. . .dull. . .is an oppinion so i ll ignore that, p.s. some like to sharpen, some like to gaussian blur, each to his own. . .a few of them are stocks

border-zzz, wtf uses 3 px borders??? i know how to make a border dude but why would i make it stand out like that, p.s. i curved my sigs so that's why its like that without borders

overall-less colors. . .i think they are fine. . .3 px border is lame and easy to make(Ctrl+Shift+N>Ctrl A>Edit>Stroke). . .for the text thing, i agree wit some of them, as some of them are sigs from when i started

its a spatter based sig, for mario, its supposed to be colorful

wow all wrong, almost everythng is wrong in that

i dont merge layers ever, u dont have to merge layers, Image>Apply Image is the same, try it sometime. gaussian blur of 1. . .and the blending mode is lighten, thats what makes it shine and that's what is called addign depth

www.chaosgfx.com go there and u ll see. . .

for your tag slater. . .
i dont like your use of so many patterns, i would rather actually crop your original pic and have that as a sig then what you did to it
the colors are a bit random, dark blue in that sig wtf
dont like the size. . .
theres really no focus in that sig that i would focus on at all. . .
it looks like you just cropped a pic with a scanline on it. . .

ur second one
blurry. . .
cant really tell what it is without seeing the original
scanlines. . .
again more of a cropped image then anything else and no creativity brought to it

@nexus
ur aguilar sig is basic
the render or whatever has no interaction with the background at all and the colors are horrible, i could do better with just motion blurs

o.O
Agreed...

I could actually start quoting everything again, but it seems you don't want to listen anyway. O_o

Only 1 pattern used on 70%.

It matches the colors of the water.

Personal taste

It's a fotomanip, which is actually made for neutral signatures.

It isnt.



Oh btw Nexus, these aare some older works i made like 6 months ago XD

I stopped making sigs 4 month ago so i'm not pretty skilled right now.
