New sig or wallpaper? show it off here!

[Kraco]

Aye, the Cagalli one is nice. The colour balance is intensely yellow, yet there is suddenly the red collar in the middle of it. It looks really good that way. And like Masa already said, the background and her hair fit together wonderfully.

[Zinobi]

Yay another sig maker, we have been a little low on our species for awhile...theres only been like what 4 or 5? Good stuff though man love your current ^.^
Anyway i should make another soon.

[Board of Command]

That kind of border doesn't work with a flat background because it only oversaturates the colorful parts. With a flat background it's just a black line in the parts with low color.

[xDarkMaster]

New blood indeed, I will look forward to your work in the future.

Z: You are definitely getting better, keep up the good work. I also agree w/ BoC that a border like that doesn't go w/ such a simple bg.

@BoC i like it, well done. No concerns on it here.

@fifafreak18 it looks like it did take you 5 minutes to do it...its not very good at all...sorry...I am not familiar with image maker though...so it may be the lack of tools you have in the program

I should probably make a new one. Probably will post it in a bit.

uhm i can't tell if you are joking or not but...image maker isn't a program i was referring to making images in a program, like PS CS2 which is what i was using.

Either way, I agree. Can't say I like anything about that sig. You should read up on some tutorials.

i like it.. Version 2 is better than your current change it.

Unfortunately that signature is too large for this forum, but I did change my signature to one of my older ones just now. I put new text on it and sharpend it.

[KitKat]

BoC: I like your new wp. I really like your blending of light and dark, it seems to flow very nicely.

Zinobi: Your new sig just seems really....jarring. It's too abrupt, and the style is pretty weird.

Koko: Nice work, although personally I don't really like sigs with really busy backgrounds that much. I tend to prefer a bit more simplicity, with more focus and attention on a render.

[Board of Command]

fifafreak18: Good start for a beginner. The composition is good. Just sharpen up your Photoshopping skills so you can make the composition look nice. Don't expect to read a couple tutorials and instantly become uber l33t. It takes time and a whole lot of experimentation with different tools.

Zinobi: I'm not digging that "shadow" thing in the corner. It's an overused effect these days and unless done perfectly, it does not look good at all.

KoKo37: The first one is the same style as all your other stuff. Nothing wrong with that though. The second one I'm not liking too much because the background does not fit the render.

A few days ago, I made this and never posted it anywhere. I just took another look at it two seconds ago, and I realized it wasn't a bad start. I reworked the rendering and colors, and then put a lot of focus and a lens flare (as well as some pink brushing set to soft light/overlay) on the arm.

The hilt(?) on the left makes the whole thing a bit awkward. Try to get rid of that using clone stamp or something. Also, add more dark areas on the sides so there's more focus on the render. Text could be omitted.

Looks good BoC. Only thing I am not liking is the render, it doesn't look like you did much to it...well it might help seeing the original render. Good job on the background though :)

[Board of Command]

Not much could have been done to this render other than color adjustments and adding the red eyes. You're all welcome to take this render because it's my own cut. The render itself has been altered from the *original* image so that could be consider changing it as well.

[Kraco]

Hmm... I rarely say outright I don't like some sig designs (not that I would post in this thread that often, but anyway), but I'm not a great fan of this new one you have made, Z. The background looks strange, and doesn't complement the render. It's true the render and the bg do have strand like figures, but still it doesn't work, as the bg looks quite clumsy. Also technically it's quite overblurred looking. And I don't like to colour and colour balance too much, either.

It's hard to say how the render would fit in on top of a more appropriate and better background, so I can't say too much about the render itself. It could work just fine under different circumstances, as it's pretty interesting.

I'm not too sure of the text placement either. It could work, once again, with another background, if there was something meaningful filling the void between the larger text portion and your nick. That void as such could be a good touch, as symmetry can be overdone, and isn't always the right way to go, just like you decided when you didn't place the text in the middle of the empty part.

Sorry to give such harsh feedback, but that's how it is in my opinion. It peaked my interest, though.

Version 4 looks the best in my opinion. The corner with the light looks interesting now, as the light isn't just a generic all around spot anymore, which could even look kind of burnt, but instead the light is somewhat beamy (perhaps just an illusion created by the lines, but yet it is).

Everything is nice except for the text. My suggestion is to rotate the text so it lines up with that "stream of particles" it's sitting on, and then motion blur it or something.

[KitKat]

Koko, once again that's some very nice work. One of these days you should make a tutorial.

Zinobi, I know you're capable of much more than that. That render doesn't seem to lend itself to that background at all. The blending is atrocious. I don't even know if there's any hope to salvage that one. I would say just learn what you can from it, and start a new project fresh.

Not digging this one.

The "thing" on the left...I have no idea what that is or how it fits in with the sig. The white thing on the right should be extended if it's supposed to be one of those flowery border things.

[Lucifus]

LoL, changed the "Thing". I always somehow put something like that in my sigs. I've done it with basically every sig I've made, and people always tell me to take it out. I just never learn....:(

The text okay? And whatd'ya mean by extend the flowery border thingy? :rolleyes:

[Board of Command]

The white stuff on the right side looks like one of those "dream borders" and should be extended towards the left if that's what you intended.

[Lucifus]

Yep, I was tring to get er like that but it outcome seemed to....compact.

Did ya mean something like this?
http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/2521/fsnsig2xb2.png

[Board of Command]

I was thinking of making it semi-transparent and going around the entire border. However...

Make the bottom part go on top of Saber, and the top part under Saber. This should give it somewhat of a "pop out" effect.

[Lucifus]

What I did before blended into to background and crept up on the render.

Good to see you are back in business, Lucifus. And with quite an impressive work.

After all the lashing BoC granted you, I'll just add some little opinions. The particular dome right under Saber's nose looks too big and aggressive to me. It also looks like Saber is sniffing it...

And also I'm not a great fan of the text design on the left. Nothing else wrong, but it looks strange when the first letters of the two words are blending so forcefully, yet the rest are totally opaque and white. And the D of Dreams seems to have slipped a bit far on the left from the rest of the word.

[Lucifus]

Will do 1st thing when I get home. Thanks for feedback. I'ma try to do a couple more sigs, cause I've been out of it for awhile.:cool:

Edit: hmmm....the background looks dark instead of blending in with the GW Background on the school comps... T-T

Which version do yall like the best?

[Lucifus]

Better than most first photoshop attempts I've seen. Nice judgement on the render placement. You could use some help on the text but don't we all. Renders far too base relief though.

Your tring to blend em and make the render and background compliment each other.
O, and always use the high quality stuff.

AnywayZ, random generic timekill brush sig.

I am finding it hard to find a good HQ Render for Bebop and I don't know why.

[master_me]

I'm apparently designing another layout. I wanted a glossy feeling for this one, and I think I've pulled it off nicely so far. It's very far from finished, for the record.

You have pulled it off nicely, I really like the color scheme
im currently in a web design class and have never really tried a layout, could i get some tips? :)

Here is my newest creation. I cant find real HQ renders so I went kinda artsy almost watercolor with this one. Tell me what you think:

The hair on the right side is kinda.....polygonal.

[Lucifus]

The Cigarette smoke seems to be coming out of nowhere. Could ya darken the smoke around his collar?

Really like the background on the right. And BoC is always right, that hair looks polygonal, Just use the clone tool to clone the hair into ..well hair.:D :rolleyes:
Give her a 1 px Black Border.

All in all, very nice 2nd sig.;)

[Board of Command]

It's easier than that. I think he just forgot to cut away the background for the right side. Look closely.

I have never tried the clone stamp tool before but here is a wack at it:

Edit to BoC: It could have been that easy but that part of the hair in the original picture did not have much detail to it, So i tried the clone tool to get some hair looking such in there. There was not much background left. hope you like the result

Ah, yes. You should definitely replace the current Mr. Buphthalmia with that new one.

There's some nasty pixelation evident in the high contrast areas with white background, but I don't see other real problems.

To be honest, I don't like it at all. Aside from color, nothing else matches in that sig. The problem is the mixing a large face to a very techy/high-contrast background. It just doesn't work.

A little late but here is the original pic of that Strike Noir sig, as well as the sig.

@master_me: Try removing some of those layers and settings, i can barely see the render. The render should be easy to spot not hidden under lots of diffrent layers and settings.

I've just created a Deviantart account, and uploaded all my pics and banners there. Nothing fantastic, but do check it out (http://ultranosekai.50webs.com/psykecreations.htm) if you can. :)

EDIT: Ahhh it seems that most of my work are against some copyright rules, so I had to remove them. Anyway, I've changed the link to my old site, which isn't really updated, but well......

[master_me]

In my opinion, the render is pretty easy to make out.
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/mgfxn/RVL_MetroidPrime3_char02.png

In general, it's a pretty botched sig. It's definitely one of my worst. Regardless, I've got an earlier version I'd figure I'd post that looks much better.

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/mgfxn/wttj2.png
I'll admit, it does seem a bit hidden, but it's to go for a bit of a jungle effect.

Oh, and it was only 36 layers. This one is 33.

Also, while I'm at it, here's the outcome example for a video tutorial I made yesterday on another forum. I know it's absolutely terrible; in fact, I used brushes for the background. And, Disgaea 2 with Laharl? Hah.
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/mgfxn/final-1.gif

[PSJ]

After seeing the earlier cersion it is much easier to spot the render but when i didn't know what the render was exactly i had a hard time figuring it out.

I think the earlier version looks alright, it is a bit pale but other than that i don't see much wrong with it. Then again i haven't seen your work for a while. I don't know what standard you have.

[master_me]

I don't know my standards either. :D
It honestly depends on what I'm working on.

[Alhuin]

Been awhile since I've used Photoshop.
I got lazy over the summer... and then my laptop had several problems and I had to keep re-formatting. I just recently started to make some new headers and whatnot for a few of my online profiles... and I've been working on a wallpaper. I saw the render and just had to do something with it. Too cool to confine to a sig, so I'm going for the big one. Anyways, I've been working on it for a few days now, and I wanted some input.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v376/Alhuin/wallpaper.jpg

The biggest thing I'm worried about at the moment is the hair... it's sketchy, and I haven't quite figured out what I'm going to do about it. But other than that, I kinda like how it's turning out. I've used three different brush-sets so far... and I think the colour contrast is great. But I'd like some opinions from other avid artists.

Oh, and by the way. The original wallpaper is 1024x768. Photobucket condensed it to 800x600. And also, the render, as far as I know, is not from Dragonball Z. The description said something about evil twin....

[master_me]

Go to more options and select 1024x768.
That's looks pretty awesome indeed. Mind posting the original render?

[master_me]

Excuse me for the double post.

Comments, Suggestions, Questions?

[KitKat]

Spiegel, the more stuff you make, the better you'll get!

I like the colours and the text on your sig, but I think you need to work on the composition. Your sig should have one primary point of focus, and you should try to arrange the elements of your sig to reflect that. With your current one, your eye is drawn to the two far edges, since your renders are placed so far out. When using two renders like that, you can either place them close enough together so that your eye perceives them as one object, make one primary and the other secondary, or highlight something else in your sig as primary. A good example of the third one is Psyke's current Death Note sig, where the text jumps out, and the images spread outwards from that centre focal point, and there is also some space on the edges so that it doesn't seem too crowded or unbalanced.

[PSJ]

New sig, yet another Request work.

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/mgfxn/pegus.png

I used roughly the same technique in each of these sigs; I wanted there to be some kind continuity between them. They were relatively easy to make, each about twenty layers and twenty minutes. I like the outcome of Leo and Dragon, though Pegasus was a little hard to work with. I hope you guys like 'em.
Feel free to c&c, though I'm probably not going to work anymore on these.

[Spiegel]

Still working out all the fun things about photoshop, But everything i make still seems lacking. Maybe I just have not found the right style for me but either way, here is what I did today.

http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/4272/ktest0ts.png

[xDarkMaster]

Nice, xDM. A little flat for my tastes, but very nice.

I agree, I was trying to make the colors pop a bit more, but it didn't go too well. The BG could also be spiced up a bit. I like the render so if I have time I might give it another go.

Spiegel - You are really getting better. Don't worry about making an amazing sig and just enjoy it. Sooner or later you will make something that you can feel proud of.

[master_me]

Spi - Much better. Only problem with the first one is the stock in the background; in the middle, there's some little low quality lines from what looks like compression, probably since it was in jpeg format when you first found it I'm guessing. Try duplicating it, gaussian blurring it at like two, desaturating it, and setting it to soft light or something. I don't know if it'll work, but try something like that. I'm going off of the top of my head.

xDM - New layer, apply image, and overlay might work some magic. It's what I usually do when a sig needs a little something more. Gaussian blur never hurt either. It's a really nice sig anyway though.

That aside, I made a new header for my galleries.
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/mgfxn/vileheader.png
I needed a good focal point, so I stuck some c4ds on the hand. I only have about thirty to forty renders right now, so I didn't have anything real good to work with. I love it anyway.

[Spiegel]

To master_me:
I fooled around with it a little and what I did to the background on this version was New layer with Gaussian Blur at 2 like you said (i didn't desaturate) then I did the watercolor filter (experimenting with filters) and set to soft light.

I disagree. That "technique" is overused and not everything needs to have super-high contrast. It looks fine the way it is.

Spiegel, that's looking much better! There's still something that bothers me about the first sig, but I think it has to do with the horizontal lines. I like the Kiba one. I've always been a fan of smooth and clean-looking sigs.

Zinobi, in the first one there, it's really hard to see the render and tell what it is. Maybe you were trying to achieve that sort of amalgam of render and bg, but if so, maybe use some lighting effects to highlight her face, or otherwise draw attention to something distinguishable.

[master_me]

I disagree. That "technique" is overused and not everything needs to have super-high contrast. It looks fine the way it is.

Keeping in mind, I approach my art much differently than you yours ;)

I finally made a sig to fit the forums. It's not that advanced of a creation, but I still think it's a great product. It was quick and easy, and it does what it needs to do.

By the way, MSD is a band (local, from where I'm from), and Stormcrow is their new CD that was released on Feb. 2nd, 2007. A link to their site is below, should you wish to check.

I have some other projects I'm working on in Photoshop. I've been experimenting with different techniques... which is why I've been away for awhile. I haven't finished anything else yet that I'm satisfied with. Hopefully soon...

[PSJ]

I like the background design in your wallpapers Deadfire, the only thing i have to comment on is that it needs more variation. The colors work well, especially in the second one but you need to do something with it so it gets a little variation.

[Board of Command]

DF:

Same general idea as what PSJ said. The background looks like a repeating pattern of colors, even though it's not. You need some "direction" or "focus" such as parts that fade to black.

[PSJ]

I finally got a new look on GW. Tell me what you think please, i have doubts about the sig....

[Zinobi]

background is kind of flat and not all too interesting
also the render just looks like you placed it there over the background,which in turn doesnt work out for the sig :/

[PSJ]

After looking at my sig several times for several minutes i have to say that i disagree with you.

The background is maybe a bit flat but i didn't go for a flashy background this time. I just wanted a nice, easy on the eyes background. It makes it possible to focus on the render a bit more.

As for the render, i also thought it looked like i placed it right on top but after a while that feeling changes.

Thanks for the inputs though.

[KitKat]

PSJ, I like the bg very much. Clean, yet colourful, gives a nice sweeping wind/sunbeams feel. The imbalance in the sig I think is in the lighting. Your render is lit from a source somewhere above and slightly to the left. The main light source in your bg is from the top right corner. It might be less noticeable if you could get rid of the very bright spots on his face.

[PSJ]

Very true. Thanks for the input KitKat. I have always had trouble with lighting in my sigs.

apparently BoC and I were thinking the same thing... I too am making a Naruto sig for the end of fillers, and i'm having some trouble finalizing it. There's four different versions, and i'm not sure which to continue on or what to do. Help me!

the first: I like the style, but the right side render looks off. also hard to put the text
http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/2237/narutosigcopylv9.png

second: adjusted the render size and spacing, but is it too dark?

third: i've been told my sig style is too dark, so this path is brighter

fourth: and the last and latest attempt
http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/6636/narutosig4copycv5.png


it looks like hes got semen coming out of his eyes

[darkshadow]

4th, but either loose the right render, or make it blend in more, by fadin it in a bit and giving it the texture naruto has.
Also a border, and give your text some lovin :P

[PSJ]

BoC, you have to much black space on the right of your sig. Either do something there or lose it. I'm not a big fan of your text eitherm in my opinion it doesn't blend in well with the sig. Other than that it looks pretty cool.

Masa: The fourth one is the best. I second everything Darkshadow said. Although i can spot a border, it doesn't do the work it should. The border makes it look alot better when you have the sig on forums and such but your border is so well hidden that it doesn't do any good. A thin black border is always a good bet if you don't know what to do.


EDIT:

Okay so i did some refining touches on my sig since i got a few comments on it.

[KitKat]

PSJ, you touched that up very nicely. The lighting doesn't clash at all anymore, and you'd never be able to tell you altered the render. I don't really see much of a difference between 2 and 3, but I'd say 3 is probably my favourite. Great work!

Masa, I'm not really feeling that sig style.....it seems.....dingy? I dunno, maybe it's just not my cup of tea. I'm a bit at a loss as to what to suggest.

Lucifus, there's somewhat of a colour mismatch in your latest sig, and the tree stump feels out of place and generally distracting there. Maybe try to take out some of the other points of focus, or de-emphasize them a bit. I really like the concept, but it needs a bit more work before it reaches its full potential I think.

[Board of Command]

Updated after numerous comments about the empty right side.

Looks alot better BoC.

Lucifus: Interesting style you got going there. I'm not feeling the Garra one but the other two were pretty nice. You got one huge problem with the text though. It doesn't fit at all in any of them. You have to blend the text together with the rest of the style otherwise it becomes the main point of focus and you don't want the text to be that.

I'm of the school that text should be simple and blended instead of extravagant. The sig should be able to go without the text. You can use an extravagant text if you don't use a render and only text. The main extravagant one is the Sasuke one, but the text is somewhat the same in the other two. The Itachi one would be great with lesser text.

Lucifus - I actually have some code geass sketches, do you think you can make a sig out of them? Ill post them as soon as they are scanned.

The Lee sig looks really unique, and cool. Has a bruce LEE effect.

[Lucifus]

BoC-Um...okiez? :confused:

KitK-Text....the very bane of my existence. I suck so bad with em it tempts me to just not put any in! I've been too bored to mess with my previos 3 sigs. I put some work into the Rock Lee one though. I think I got the text done in that one.:D

Shinta|Hikari-Sketch sigs? Sounds intriguing! A sketch style sig....sure, upload away. When I get home I'll attempt a style to compliment sketchs with your previous creations. My other sigs will have to wait.:rolleyes:

[Board of Command]

BoC-Um...okiez? :confused:
How does it look with the background not blurred?

[Lucifus]

BoC-I only saved it once...in PNG format and lost the history... All I can remember is I wasn't pleased with the unblurred version. =S

AnywayZ, I don't know why I went on another Sig craze cause I'm not ready to part with my beautiful Saber Sig.:(

[shinta|hikari]

Damn, I cant find anyone to scan my stuff. Maybe Ill just give up and buy a scanner. (yes, I am a leech-like lifeform)

Speaking of being leechlike, thanks lucifus for considering the sig job. Have you watched code geass yet though? Dont wanna spoil anything, though I doubt my sketches contain anything to that effect.

Dont replace your saber sig, it makes anything you post worth reading just because of its sheer goodness. That is probably the best sig I have ever seen (partly the reason Im asking you to help me, and probably because Saber is one of my fave characters).

It just makes use of foreground, background and main focal image contrast so well, as well as the use of the color theme sunset, which I believe suits saber the best. The text is also really cool, and I love how it sort of represent the character to a great extent..

[Lucifus]

Leechlike being-Wow, I thought highly of my sig, but not that highly.:rolleyes: But I admit I think I spent the most time ever on this sig out of all the sigs I've made. Love the outcome. Just cant part with it yet. Think I'll just go with another Random Image Set. I also just watched the first ep of Code Geass. Damned impressive, downloading the eps tonight, will check out therest tommorrow. I feel a Code Geass sig coming on.....

Heres another. Your post just prompted another Saber sig. Not my best work, but I really like the outcome. I think this is the 2nd Photomanip I've ever done. The render itself was really not that good, full of artifacts, but I just love the way it depicts Saber, so I did my best to smooth it out.

Which is better, normal or vector version?

Comments Please. =P

[shinta|hikari]

Hmm, the 2nd one seems better I believe, though the darker colors of the first one also provide a good effect.

A code geass sig would be something to look forward to. I just wonder which character/characters you will use.

[Kraco]

Hmm... I have a bit hard time analysing this recent sig of yours, Lucifus. However, first of all I have to note the technological elements of the second one somewhat clashes with the highly natural feeling of especially the background but also with Saber, who looks less of a fighter and more of a girl in this particular render.

I'm not normally one to consider lighting differences between a far away background and the render a huge issue, as there could be numerous explanation to it, like a spotlight between the camera lighting the render part (or a flash), but somewhat that also bugs me here. The lighting on the clouds is the red of twilight, but I don't think that really shows on Saber.

Well, I'm still not saying it's bad at all. Perhaps it's just my unfounded predisposition of being suspicious of combining photos and drawn renders...

[master_me]

It's nice, but I don't like the look of anime stock on a 3D background. They're like entirely different worlds within a single sig. Also, I'm not sure why you put the tech in the second one >_>

[Lucifus]

O did I try getting the lighting to work `many` times.. When I gave it the lighting I liked..well...It looked 5x worse. The render was very poor to work with, but I'll give it another shot after I wake myself up fully. On the Code Geass sig, I know exactly who it'll be. On ep 8 atm, and must say, its pretty damned good.:cool:

[PSJ]

It's hard doing anime renders on photo manips. You need to do alot of work on the bg for it to look good. And your text is still horrible. Try to find some tutorials on text or something. One thing to think about is try to use simple text that doesn't stick out.

[Board of Command]

Anime renders with photo manip backgrounds are awesome.

[Zinobi]

If they are done right that is. Isn't it BoC?

[darkshadow]

New ava/sig (finally)
The white specks in the ava are cause of the dumb png alpha stuff, i might fix that sometime in the future.

[r3n]

cool, this thread is still active after 3 years.

nice sig darkshadow, maybe tone down the brightness? otherwise, nice :)

[Board of Command]

As a matter of fact, it isn't!

I made this sig earlier today. A lot of people liked it, so I made a tut which I'm far too lazy to post right now. Also, I don't really feel like triple posting .-.

Depending on whether or not you choose to do one step, there are two seperate outcomes.

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/mgfxn/sigfin.png
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/mgfxn/sigfinwoc.png

Also, me and a few people finally got to kicking open a new renders site. It's been in the works for a while now. I've never been sure about advertisement here though, so I'll sit on it.

[masamuneehs]

some nice sigs there. I never could come close to getting anything near the style that you often use... those tuts would be nice, and the triple post is warranted.

nothing wrong with putting a link to your render site on here or plugging it. We don't allow solicitation or advertising for making money, but some whoring never hurt anyone, especially when it's something that would be of interested to people here. You'd do well to add a link in your sig as well.

[PSJ]

Great style master_me. I love your current. The text and brushing on that spear thing is awesome. I don't like that it got so many diffrent colors though, maybe try to desaturate the whole render piece a bit making it a little greyish. That way we would focus more on the brushed spear and text.

Believe me, I did XD
...about three times, too. It just wasn't working.

masa - thanks :)

[PSJ]

Just do it more then :P I really hate that green color it clashes to much with the spear. If you could fix that the sig would be top notch, now it's only awesome.

[master_me]

Actually, the green is from the original render. I might attempt fix the coloring, though.

[Spiegel]

Here is a Quick 5 minute Smudge sig and avatar I made for another forum I joined last night.

EDIT: If you cant read the text it says "Gravitationally Challenged"

[master_me]

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j107/mgfxn/tregift.png
This was a gift sig for a friend, Tree. He kept complaining that I've made so many other people gift sigs and not one for him, so I made this in about twenty minutes.
I've gotten a lot of hate for this, so try me.

I'd also like to point you all in the direction of my sig, where you'll find a link to a (truly, less than unique) renders site. What's so (less than) unique about it?
In short, a clutterless gallery. You won't find a halo render back to back with a poorly cut stock of Gwen Stefani. Halo renders are with halo renders, and badly cut renders serve no purpose seeing as we don't allow duplicates. The gallery was made by our resident coder/scripter, who put down the other hundred ideas Tree and I came up with, so he decided to finish up the one he'd been working on and have us use that. It'll be up by the end of the week, and people can start uploading their renders.
Really, you should all check it out.

[Lucifus]

Cant read the text. Too much white! Snap, I got flashbanged.:D And the render just doesn't seem very high quality. Theres your hate. But if it keeps your friend quiet. Is worth it.:rolleyes:

AnywayZ, heres two sigs I did with two of your tutorials. I posted one a few days back but it seems to have gone unnoticed.

2 versions. Not my best but it was my first attempt.:rolleyes:

And this is another first attempt, an I've got to say, Impressive style. I can make me some kickazz quicky sigs with this.

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/1846/polaroidsig2bt2.jpg

Using this polaroid sig at another forums I browse.

[master_me]

I have no idea why I never though to make a sig out of the polaroids, but it's a totally rawk idea. I'll edit with one soon, probably.

EDIT:

*is very pleased*
This took a while. I started it over an hour ago, and just finished now. Getting the firey glow on Sasuke was hard, and even still, it's kind of... not good. It gave me the idea to make that chidori-lightening flash effect for the animation, which I think turned out pretty well.

[master_me]

You're totally awesome. It makes a nice way to kick off our gallery, putting us at something like 1,000 renders in our first month. Thanks, man.

[Board of Command]

Quality over quantity.

[Lucifus]

The renders are most definatly quality. I had like 1/4 of them already but the rest blew me away.

[Board of Command]

I'm referring to master_me's renders on his site.

[Lucifus]

Seems like no one has an interest in makin Code Geass renders. >.> I need some CC renderZ!

Edit: Agh, is it two dots or one. xD

[master_me]

@Lucifus - Never bevel the border of a sig.
@BoC - For real. Still, we've been gathering renders since December and these aren't just quick cuts. Granted, about 200 renders are Rockman related since Tree's old site was based on Rockman PSDs >_>

[Munsu]

My first ever sig, let me know what you think of it and any improvements I can do to it:

http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/8580/newsigssoz6.png

[Kagemane_no_Jutsu]

Been watching/reading a lot of Bleach lately...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/RockLee89/Hitsugaya.png

What do ya think?

and not bad for a first Munsu

[master_me]

I'm a little surprised :(

The render is too sharp for the background, and also way too low quality. Its edges don't blend well either, so it really sticks out. I also hate the chrome effect in the background.

[Board of Command]

I like the background a lot, actually. I think it works well with the sig. Just soften up the render or at least some parts of it.

[Kagemane_no_Jutsu]

^yea I think the render is too sharp for the bg...but I didn't use any chrome or filter effect for the bg or any c4d.

and what are you so suprised about? It was my first sig in a while using anime and I handmade everything on there except for the render.

[master_me]

Dunno. I've kind of always seen you as like, easily one of the best here. This one just kind of felt like there wasn't much flow or anything, and just a little empty.

[Kagemane_no_Jutsu]

I hear ya, well I think I might be getting back into it so expect to see some better stuff from me.

Holy hell Kage how do you do that? Teach me! T_T

[Kraco]

I like that sig, Z. But like somebody said at irc, get rid of the letter. Right now it's screaming: "I don't belong here!"

I'm not too sure of those vertical lines on the left, either, but it's not like they would really bother me, and I deem they are a part of the vision you had in mind while making the sig.

[Board of Command]

New sig, using the only render from DF's pack that I actually like.

Quick wallpaper. It's simplish.

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51141219/
Decent photo manip.

[Kagemane_no_Jutsu]

I think the text ruins the wallpaper, and the photomanip is just too small.

But its good that your starting to work with larger canvases. Keep at it.
