The calendar wallpaper looks nice.

Kage. your new sig kicks ass, nice work as always.

I just came up with an idea for a wall but i am to crappy to make it so i would like to ask you Kage, if you have the time. A wallpaper with 4 diffrent pieces of abstract art made into one piece diffrent colors for each piece. The rest i leave up to you since you are the expert here. I would really appreciate it if you could help me with this piece.

Lol I have 0 artistic inspiration at the moment so...

like c4d abstract? and do you want them to acutally be corresponding or even have seperate borders for each part?

Seperate borders would look nice, yea c4d abstracts with a little of your photoshop skills to spice it up.

Lucifus, always try to avoid changing the aspect ratio of any picture you're working with. The distortion makes it look unnatural. Really nice picture though. It lends itself to sigs very well.

Kraco
Fri, 08-04-2006, 07:40 AM
Wow. I like it a lot. Actually I love it! The colours are just awesome, and you couldn't of course even imagine a much cuter render. Your name is printed there nicely, but the fanboy text (damn, I was going to comment you are quite a Saber fanboy indeed, but you calling yourself such kind of removes the funniness of it) looks somewhat cheap with the shadow effect, although the round font type goes well together with the cute render and general softness of the whole picture.

Very good work! Very good indeed.

KitKat
Fri, 08-04-2006, 09:32 AM
GLS, that's really cute! Although the difference between the colours on either side bothers me a bit. Maybe have a bit more of a transition between them?

DF, I would agree with Kraco in that everything about that sig is nice with the exception of the Saber's Fanboy text. Using a drop shadow like that makes the sky look 2-D and interferes with your lovely horizon there. Play around with the text and see if you can find a better effect or blending style that will complement your sig more, I'd say.

xDarkMaster
Fri, 08-04-2006, 10:19 AM
DF: Really nice sig, love the BG. I just have two suggestions. One, try playing around with a photo filter to make the render blend in a tad more (if you haven't already). Two, the render doesn't take up enough space in the sig, try moving Saber up or resizing the render.

Kraco
Fri, 08-04-2006, 10:36 AM
I suggest not to listen to xDM (no offence of course, but I just completely disagree). The render is of sufficient size, because the background isn't abstract, and thus the background itself also has a meaning. And with the scarf the render does in fact already occupy enough space. And there's absolutely no reason to blend a render with a scenic background like that. Once again, it's not an abstract background, nor an invasive background like KitKat had, which pushed elements to the foreground. It makes no sense to blend a primary render with a real scenery in the background.

xDarkMaster
Fri, 08-04-2006, 10:40 AM
I can see where you are coming from, but I just think it is strange when the render has a yellowish light, while the BG has a purplish light. I don't mean make the render completely purple, I meant set it to around 10% opacity.

I might even go as far as to say it is even more necessary to make the lighting match when using a real scenery b/c you want it to look, well, real.

Kraco
Fri, 08-04-2006, 11:16 AM
I can see what you mean, but here I belong to a different school. I don't seek or look for uniform colours but a balance of colours and hues. And to be more exact, avoidance of clashing of colours. And as far as my artistic eye tells me, the colours between the render and the background aren't clashing, but are in quite a nice balance.

And for all we know, the photographer could have used a flash when taking the picture, masking the overly purple light away from our dear Saber, allowing her to retain her beautiful blond locks.

That's actually quite interesting. The render almost melts into the background. Very heavy blending, yet it doesn't look bad but somehow fitting. The difference in the blue hue between the background and the render does the trick of saving the image from being vague. The text portion goes nicely together with the render. Not bad work at all in my opinion.

Tue, 08-08-2006, 08:53 AM
Hmm... I'm not sure how the background really supports the renders in that one. The colour scheme isn't actually unbalanced, probably because the background has so washed out colours it's almost white for pratical purposes, and thus supports any kind of render colouring. But that also means it doesn't have a very strong impact on anything, the theme and mood of the picture included.

And what is the white splotch between Talho and Holland? Also in a lesser degree I think Holland has been clipped somewhat crudely, barely above the eyes. It's as if the purpose is to emphasize the difference of height between those characters.

Well, despite all that it's a strangely calm picture. So, I'm not saying it's bad.

He can physically move Holland down a little bit so the cropping isn't so drastic.

Something about the render bothers me. It seems to be slightly pixelated, perhaps, for example the cheek facing left. But moreover the render looks like it used to have lots of colours, but later was reduced to 16 colours, or so. It looks sickly. The background could support a smoother render and definitely smoother text like has been said.

Personally, I'm not a fan of "stick a face on a background" type sigs. There should be some kind of action involved. If you must make a "stick a face on a background" sig, at least make it a bit more narrow, ike 300x100 so it's not so empty where there is no face.

And also if you must make a "stick a face on a background" sig, your focus should be on the background and not the face itself. Since the sig is lifeless to start with, you should try to create some action by manipulating the background, like an explosion or something of that sort.

Here's my closest to "stick a face on a background" sig. It's not that good but it shows what I'm trying to say. Originally only the head fit in, but I added a hand and some lightning. The background also has some "direction" to it.

They're both cool, but I like the first one more. The second has a bit too much light. I would take the first version and shift the guy over to the left a little bit. A general rule of design is to keep things off-center.

Tried that :( (not in that first one, I tried it after making the third one)

EDIT:
See, without any touches, this is the render:
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/mgfxn/example1.png
Too much depth (at least imo) and overcolored. I originally wanted to just flatten in it and make it look a little more consumed by flames, but after finishing the entire sig, I realized it was just not going to work.

EDIT2:
Tried two new things:

Too much text, and it doesn't actually even make sense; "Why do no one..." No one what? And "Has the right you kill" Uhhuh... And words coming out of people's mouths is a really tricky effect to try, and I'd estimate it's prone to fail as an artistic effect most of the time. And well, as a whole it indeed looks like you were half asleeps when you made that. It's not a very strong sig, to be frank.

Never ever merge layers unless it's absolutely necessary. Use a photo filter adjustment layer if you want, and play with the mask on that.

My suggestion is to "tune down" the background a bit because the problem is that the render is blended in completely.

The Zone of the Ender one looks pretty cool. You have a background now add a render to suit. I mean a primary render that everyone could see clearly to some extent. Good job though.

Green isn't really kakashi's color, and it is a bit empty, nor does it blend that well. Try flipping the render and putting it on the other side and add something to fill in the space.

Actually, most of it was smudging. However, I played around with the layer styles and sharpening and some other things. In other words, I filtered it a lot, but it still kept it's basic stock image, sorta.

Anyways, here are some of my older works:

Seraph, it's nice to see a new artist around here! I like that you have a variety of styles in your repetoire. Very nice work. I agree with you that simplicity is preferential to overly complex sigs. You'll probably get a lot of criticism here when you post your sigs, but (hopefully) it's all with the aim of helping you to improve as an artist. I've found that people here sometimes have very insightful things to say. I look forward to seeing more of your work in future!

The style is pretty nice but I don't like the composition of the sig. Some parts are awkward to look at, such as the top right corner where there's essentially nothing there. Another trouble area is where Ichigo dissolves into the background below the sword - it just doesn't feel right.

But above all, I think the biggest problem is lack of focus. In your current sig (Hitsugaya) the focus is clearly on Hitsugaya himself. In my current sig (Hellgate) the focus is clearly on the glowing eyes. In this new Ichigo one, things are all over the place such as the big sword (?) on the right.

Actually, this brings up a good point. I could have sworn there was a rule against spoilers in sigs, but I can't find it in the rules threads. Maybe it's an old rule.

I think the Sig you just made is fine, but make sure never to include any important info about that character. Don't show him beating any opponents or revealing any secrets. I only mention it because I see you use that character as an avatar on your role-play site. It's just something to keep in mind in the future.

A sig like the one you just made is fine, I'm sure. I remember that there were a number of sigs featuring Itachi and Jiraiya (without any important info or their names) before they premiered in the anime.

Ask a mod if you're ever unsure how much info you can put in your sig; They're much smarter than I am.

I have Gentoo and Ubuntu sitting there in front of me on disks but never bothered to install them. It just seems really inconvenient that you have to stick mainly to open source and command line (ugh) programs.

first i just thought that you were trying to just blend the mountains into the water but i do see now what you are clearly was going for; sory that i was mistaken;

as for the clouds i though you were doing an all outerspace look and i just thought that you forgotten to get rid of the clouds and again sory that i approch it the wrong way

Not sure what you mean, I didn't clone the mountains at all and I wasn't trying to make it blend into a water. And yes, there are some clouds in the far left...

If by "blend in" you mean the mountain's reflection in the water...I don't see what the problem with the clouds is.
