Ok, my last photoshop venture was today (Yesterday now) and that was to create somewhat of a layout for my website. It isn't really finished yet (some of the lines look funky to me), but I will leave the opinions up to yall. It is the layout currently on my website.

Mah Website! (also a link under my sig) (http://www.Spiegel-Kun.net)

DF- first is good, just a little too much contrast especially on his face. Not liking the text but thats the hardest thing to pull off, I usually don't even add text anymore.

I don't like the second one on acount of the focal point(s) are all blurry.

Naruto needs to be over to the left more, the first needs a larger white focal point. I love them both anyway though :D I also love the C4Ds you used in the first, mind sharing their origin?

Luc - that lens flare goes for a nice effect :)
BoC - the flowers stock is a little dull for the render, imo. I like it though. It would be perfect if you just worked on the flowers stock.

I've got this, which I made out of sheer boredom. I know it's an overdone style and it's nothing special, but it was the kind of moment where I was so bored I was about to start shaving.

Honestly, I know you hate it, but apply image, Gaussian blur at 3.0, and set to lighten might work. It would give a cool glow effect, at least.

EDIT: I'm also noticing, her hand in the upper right sticks out a bit.

Actually it's the best I've seen from you. I think that if the text was better (which is usually a given in most work :/) and that the space to the right serves hardly any purpose other than for the text. So... I say make it something like 350x100 and try some other styles of text.

Anyway, I've put together a crapless web comic. I've posted it in two or three other places, only one of which where it's actually appealed to people - the only reason being because I made it :p And let's face it - you all adore me.

I've also got three others done, but I'm too lazy to link them. I'd rather just keep writing and instruct you all to edit the number in the url. So like, if you care enough, change the 1 to a 2, 3, or 4.

So like, everyone. I'd like to rudely and informally announce the opening of Twisted Render's gallery, the link to which can be found in my sig. Normally, I wouldn't blatantly advertise like this in the art forum, but we've hit a very important milestone.
ZeRo, our head coder, has been working on a gallery that would be fully functional and skinnable with IPB for a while - it's called My Manga Tracker, and it'll be incredibly popular soon enough. Because this was made from scratch by him, we're sure to encounter many bugs. For this reason, we've decided to announce TR as beta testing. We'd all love it if you guys could help out and report any bugs or even upload some renders :)
Thanks~

thanks yall. i've been messing around with Photoshop quite a bit recently, and I'll be sure to try to get that Itachi sig (it's actually Itachi in both renders in the image) some more time...

in the meanwhile, here's two things. The first is a little different, made it with master_me's polaroid tutorial, a quick Mom's day present for a friend (yaoi fangirls knocked up is a scary thing, yes it is). Obviously I screwed up the coloring, letting it get on the polaroid template, and the text could be better... Advise?

also, a very quick sig for Inazuma. I know, text sucks...

Masamuneehs, seriously keep it up. All it takes is a few attempts for improvement to show, and its already showing in my opinion.:cool:

Also, I couldn't tell that was also Itachi, but now that you mention it, I can tell the difference. The renders look amazing similar though. Guess the animators did a good profile for the 'Uchiha' and the brothers.

AnywayZ, heres two new ones. My clan leader requested 'urgent' signatures to be done. I'm studing for my finals damnit! >.>

thanks guys, i'm tryin. with school just about finished, i should have more free time to pursue stuff like this.

@Lucifus - I know it's a rush job, but here's my thoughts anyway... I just don't like the colors in the top sig, the purple doesn't fit with the color in the BG (although it does nicely with Kadaj's eyes). For the second one, I'd have the render stand out more if ya can. Good lighting, I need to figure out how to do more of that.

master_me
Sat, 05-19-2007, 08:15 PM
@Luc: Set the render in the first one to luminosity and then duplicate, gaussian blur 2.0, and set to overlay at 35% on top. On the second, just throw on a cyan photo filter with a light color balance and it's a masterpiece. I would totally wear it.

EDIT: Working on a new adbanner for Twisted Renders. C+C needed. It's supposed to be vector abstraction, so please keep that in mind.

I just don't like the font... It's a good work otherwise, though could enjoy more dynamic lighting (but the little period right about the faded/smudged website address is quite cool) I just don't like the gradient coloring in the text, as the font itself is fine. Maybe color balancing them a little more? Not sure how much of a help that was...

And the sig is new too. I would like some comments, but since Im an absolute noob at this, please be nice. ;)

masamuneehs
Tue, 05-29-2007, 09:11 AM
the first wallpaper... i just don't know... The second is cool, but I don't know if it would work as any larger. Good color contrast going on there. Third Geass wallpaper seems to be a Artistic Filter, charcoal or something like that? Try duplicating the original layer of C.C and just going crazy with trying different things (only changing the duplicate, so you can preserve what you originally have).

The sig.... Well, the text could use some shadows or any kind of effect to make it less standard, maybe a color gradient... You've got a good concept, but I'm afraid the background is just too blaise, and the renders of C.C. and Lelouch are just thrown on top, so there's no real blending (i have trouble with this myself). I'd advise checking some of the tutorials to get an idea of what some of the different things in PS can let you do. And just go experiment with things on your own. Personally, I think your sig right now is just too plain (same for wallpaper 1), so the more you mess around, the more it becomes yours and the more you learn about PS.

Things to try:
Duplicating layers and just messing with them
Brushing empty spaces in backgrounds (need some good brushes for that, deviant has). Remember to turn down the opacity to not over-brush.
Manipulating font
Messing with Blending layers (and Opacity!)

Don't know how much that helps... but stick with it and, like I said, just go nuts since you're starting out!

Well shinta|hikari the Love Con sig has a very distracting background and the render is really blurry (it irritates the eyes). The Major sig is very simplistic (which isnt bad) but the back ground does nothing for the sig. However you did a good job on the wallpaper, only gripes are the font choice for the vertical text and the crustiness in the middle third.

i like the left side quite a bit, but the right... aside from the rainbow and the less than stellar red brushing (or whatever's in the bottom right corner), that fuzzy light glare is too harsh and the wings are a bit too bright for my taste... Making the contrast between sides more subtle would improve the sig greatly

the first one is certainly the best. good use of text on the left and the larger font on the right works well too. Good color contrast with the black and white and the yellow goggles. Is that your brushing in the background on the right side?

...the movies one is pretty lackluster. the theme is good, but something about the image "on the movie screen" just doesn't seem to work. Maybe try doing a Photo Filter or some Dupelicat, Desaturate, Blend and Opacity with it, give it more of a 'on-screen' feel.

I simply despise the coloring in the third one. Colors are too saturated, and a bit too bright on the blue haired girl. Maybe mess the blending or use a Masking Layer to get her left-side shoulder/guy's head blending better. The BG is tolerable, but I'm not a fan of the words.

the 4th is simple and effective for going with the moe theme. I like the second one better, but this 4th one is closer to being done. Pretty simple and cute, excellent usage of the 'electronic billboard' font.

i like what i see. you're comin along just fine.

Sun, 06-10-2007, 07:17 PM
shinta|hikari: 1st one is really nice. I love it! The text and colors are really good.

2nd is a bit plastic and 3rd the text ruins it. Also both has too much contrast.
I dunno if it's just my screen though.

The 4th one isn't that bad. Clean up the girl a bit and work more on the bg. But I like the text.

@shinji:

The wallpaper is moe, but it's really nothing aside from cute. The theme is properly executed (the 'photos' could use a glossy shean on them though, maybe using a lighting effect) but it just doesn't strike me. I also don't care much for moe. Also, the placement of the text is off. I don't know about others, but I instictively read the blue note first, then the pink one, yet the labels imply they should be read in the reverse order.

The sig is ok. I don't like the very sharp purple brushing or whatever on the far left. It should be more subtler, maybe lower the opacity. Could also use a border.

Spiegel, for some reason the 'blood splotch' at the point where Vincent's gun meets Spike's head just irks me. In fact, there's maybe a bit too much 'blood' on his gun and hand altogether. I like how you did on Spike's better. Also, maybe could benefit from a border?

i like this one much better. The only things are that maybe you could resize the render of Sniper girl so her leg and right arm don't get cut off so awkwardly? Also, in the top right background area the yellow/black BG goes suddenly gray (like a 40% opacity black layer over it) above her neck. I understand it fits the other side, but it just looks a little weird to me. Good stuff.

also, didn't mean to neglect you master_me. All of it looks very good, but I'm certainly no good at website design, so I can't say much. I'm not a big fan of vectorized anything; the dragon logo is cool though. Simple, good lighting. That something you constructed on your own, and if so, what tools?

I'd greatly appreciate feedback on the following two, especially the sig...
Requested sig... I'm not a fan of the base image or the text, but both were specifically requested, so there you have it... I feel stuck on this one...

http://www.ashiftingperspective.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10008/synnesai1.jpg

A snap banner request. Was needed in less than an hour's time, and I got it done in less than 45 minutes. Not my greatest, but it made the deadline. I'd like to improve it if possible.

Feedback would be greatly appreciated

Realise this is a bit late, but I havn't checked the fanart section in awhile and noticed no one gave you Feedback.(Shame on you Art community!) So heres what I got for ya.


First of all. When doing a single color scheme project, you should try to get a gradient effect going. Not one solid color like what you've currently got. If your going to go with what ya got, make sure ya desaturize er a bit. And load up the background with any cool little effects you might think fits the signature.

Secondly, you gotta focus on one single render. You can have more then one render but, bring the focus onto them. Look at these for example.

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b273/LaZieKiD/Naruto1.jpg

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b273/LaZieKiD/Sasuke3.jpg

LaZies got a fancy background yet has all the focus drawn directly to his renders. Always aim for that in a signature.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v241/RyougaZell/rz3de0.png

Heres an example of my own with multiple renders and i'd say the focus isnt diluted at all.

Just use these as examples for placement and lighting the next time you open Photoshop.

And thridly, with an anime like SZS, you should try to find an ...atmosphere that fits it. The shows funny as hell, and its ridiculously crazy. Think of a way to embody that in the signature.(A hanging Sensei and smiling Happy girl or stalker or something....)

And lastly.....text..... Dont do anything fancy, just keep it simple and outta the way. Not to attention grabbing. Thats all I got for ya on that one cause Text is my bane.

Looking forward to your next works. :cool:

Thu, 08-09-2007, 12:25 PM
Yale, you just need a bit of practice. One thing that is VERY important in making sigs is matching the render to the bg. You can't just put any old render on any bg. That most recent one, for instance, your render is very flat and cartoonish, but your bg is 3-D, and the colours are too different. Also, having a good quality render can make or break your sig too. Those blurry portions of that render are a big no-no. Blur is acceptable when you're blurring a portion of your render INTO your bg, but the blur against your super-sharp bg is eye-glaring. Also, make sure your sig always has one main focal point, and the rest of the sig maintains a consistency of lines and flow, that don't detract from this focal point but instead enhance it. Don't despair. WIth a bit of practice, and going through some tutorials, you'll start to get a feel for what works and what doesn't. You probably weren't around at this point, but when Lucifus first signed up, his sigs were full of a lot of the same mistakes, but look at the beautiful work he can do now. He didn't give up and kept learning more PS, making more sigs, and now has 1337 skillZ. (I added that capital Z just for you, Luci :P )

I was shocked to see that Yale makes sigs. Just didn't expect it. Some good stuff (i particularly like your current sig) and, like Kitkat said, just keep at it and you'll just get better and better.

as for me, i haven't gotten any motivation to work in PS, but I'm afraid what little abiltiy I acquired is just rusting... I need something to get me going... Maybe I'll try another Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei one this week...

Losing skill? I don't know about that but you must be losing your brain if you actually think that.

For the love of god! I commision you make a tutorial on how you made your current! Its insane!

And I am in love with your "Heartburn" creation but the name?:rolleyes: :D

The "Swear" one is pretty sweet to.

I'd suggest that you get Cinema 4D to boot, but I like 3DS Max a lot better because it's a little more advanced.

might be just me, but the hair at the bottom right just seems to be a bit weird, like it doesn't belong because there's no visible continuity from where the hair would be outside of the sig...

a border would be a good touch.

master_me... goddamnit, i wish i could pshop like that...

Hey guys.

I thought i had to whip up something new since i checked the forums today for the first time in a long time.
So here it is my newest work, now remember i haven't used photoshop in at least six months maybe longer. Don't be to hard on me....

Thu, 08-23-2007, 01:01 PM
Wow PSJ. Nice job. The sig just jumps at me with those flowers and everything else desaturized. My only complaint, I have to look really hard to get the text. :p

Good work.

PSJ
Thu, 08-23-2007, 02:07 PM
Thanks man. I can see the text real clear... maybe it has something to do with the monitors... i actually brought the opacity down a bit casue the text was too visible at first.

Thu, 08-23-2007, 03:04 PM
personally i'm not a big fan of such extreme desaturation, especially when it looks like there's something that would match the render in the BG. Maybe a little less saturation? I guess different strokes for different folks...

I agree that it's a little tough to see the text. Maybe filling the letters with some color similar to the bouquet would make it easier and also add some life to that part?

I like it though. Good stuff, I just wish I could get back into PS... no drive right now...

Carnage
Thu, 08-23-2007, 04:16 PM
Unlike Masa, Im a huge fan of desaturation. I can also see the text clearly, I dont know what Lucifus is talking about. But one thing I can add is that the sig is too big, you have too much worthless space. Try shortening it a little, or making your render bigger. It'd be cool to see the text over the flowers.

PSJ
Sun, 08-26-2007, 03:45 PM
Good points people. Thanks alot. Although i don't agree with the last opinion that the sig is to big. It would kill it if i made it shorter in my opinion..

Hey guys, been a long time since i dropped by this forum. But I figured I'll drop back in the same way I started with a ...narutoxsakura sig... just a simple fanart render, but i needed a sig and finally got some time to jump into photoshop.... comments plx... :cool:

ehhh i kinda felt like the saturation of the render was a bit much in the first one heres the updated one.

Is that a carnival attraction or something in the background? The main problem i have with it is that the background feels depressing while the render is cheerful, it's a nice idea you got going but the bg and render got very diffrent moods which spoils it for me. Keep trying though, you got something there.

So here's my newest work, i'm experimenting with white backgrounds so give me some comments on this piece.

PSJ - the desaturation works very well on the right behind the hair. There's alot going on with the background (that a c4d, correct?) and so it seems weird that further out in the sig, her hand is sorta out of focus and colored that way. The lighting on it just seems a bit off. Also, bump the text over to the right a bit more so we can see that 'P'

IFHTT- the less saturated version is better (also the TT in the corner). I don't get the feeling that the background is depressing, but the lack of colors might give people that... I dunno, maybe try some blurred colors and set the layer to 'Color' over the right portion of the background.

PSJ
Wed, 08-29-2007, 04:39 PM
Actually it's not a c4d i have created all of the background simply by using the render a couple of times and a brush.

Thanks for the input, i'll be sure to think about it. I'm not sure if i will try to fix this sig up though as i don't like it all that much now after seeing it a few times.

Made this from Lucifus' tutorial... I tried to find a nice text, but couldn't find what I was looking for inside of CS3's text database. Text effects were drop shadow, inner glow, and bevel/emboss.

Anyway, it's Illidan, from World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, and if you've seen the intro video you'll get the text. Comments are welcome.

EDIT: I plan on making an Arthas Menethil sig in commemoration of "Wrath of the Lich King", as soon as I find a proper render...

Fri, 08-31-2007, 09:47 PM
Maybe you should try changing the text color, and making the ripples more visible since the background seems a bit plain. Red and green seems to clash a bit too much, and the upper left corner is kinda blank. I like the render though.

I see what you mean about the corner, and I'm thinking of modifying this as soon as I can get my computer back up and running (it crashed earlier tonight, and I'm seeking to repair it)

Anyway, the render is the pretty much overused pic of Illidan, I just modifyed it a bit, so that the eyes slanted a bit more, and it looked as if he were in heat fumes. Just minor touch-ups, really... and about the red text, I sorta liked the contrast, but I'll see about other color choices...

EDIT: Compare this to Original, which is my current

Did a render with Urahara and thought it would be fitting for a new banner because the render is pretty small.
Again I'm not so sure about the background though... Comments are welcome :)

All i can say is that your current one with naruto is very cool, haven't seen that one before.

Sun, 09-02-2007, 06:41 PM
i don't like it, just because of the empty background. The render is good though, as is the font. I'm not a big fan of the blood splotch though... seems to clash with the colors in the Urahara render... Good lighting behind the splotch, though.

Python, the one with the logo on it is better, simply because there's less emptyness that way. The blurry one could have a better 'intimidation factor' than the sharp one, if you work on it more and incorporate the blurriness as a theme throughout the sig. The patch of red/brown on the left hand side needs to go. The text needs to be improved on both, and I'd suggest you go look for some fonts.

the Galatea avatar is great, but I'm not a big fan of the sig itself. The Clare one, however, is great. The C in the Saber sig is a little weird.

it's been a long time since i've come up with anything... but don't be afraid to be harsh; just tell me what needs changing...
