That's one hell of a hot sig Kage, great work.
That's one hell of a hot sig Kage, great work.
Well I've been out of inspiration for a while, but finally made something worthy of use, by my standards anyways.
Saber from Fate/Stay Night:
You know the routine, comments/suggestions welcome.
Hmm... I kind of like it. When I look at it, I do get a feeling the render looks somehow small compared to the background, but that might be because the background figure reminds me of cow parsley, which isn't that huge plant, but in your picture depicted large, whereas Saber is quite delicate and filled with small details. But there is a certain sense of theatrics in the picture, which allows more freedom than simple poses.
Very nice IFHTT, My comments echo Kraco's it seems that the render looks to small for the sig. however your background looks very nice. Great work.
I should make a new one but, I haven't really found a render i want to use..
image fail!
Thanks for the comments. I agree with you two that the render is small in comparison to rest of the sig. The render was pretty large and I wanted as much of the render showing without compromising quality as possible. I may edit it and make it a little larger though.
i cant quite put my finger on it but i just cant figure out whats bugging me about this sig T_T
I'm official.
It's kinda empty...
Blurred the BG of my sig like BoC suggested. I like it.

Z it looks cool, but I think the overabundance of black and white make it seem empty as xDM stated. But It doesn't look bad. I would say brighten up your name text just a little though.

Nice xDM, I like the background blurred aswell.

Heres the update to my Saber under the cherry blossoms sig. I increased the size of the render a little bit and added a little more to the foliage in the background. Also fixed the text.
Once again, comments and suggestions welcome.

It feels much more balanced now. The render and the background don't connect in my mind in the most optimal way, making them look like separate entities in the same pic. However, I'm not so sure that's exactly any problem always, and with definitive limits and borders to the render, speaking about blending is irrelevant, other than what comes to the colour scheme. Obviously the background doesn't have any blue, which is one more separating factor. But like I said, there's no rule saying they should look like they were made for each others. (Heh, although I should never refer to the things I call my own sigs, but my render/bg have no more common factors than yours...)
There's to much brushing on the left side of the scythe. And you could add a color balance layer, but keep it low to make it more grim looking, try a subtle blue, purple or red color. Besides that i think it looks good, can you maybe show me where to find that render?Originally Posted by Zinobi
Like someone said before, there's too much empty space and not enough "action" where it isn't empty. It just looks pretty dull with the exception of the shiny scythe.
The brushing is also awkward. It's coming down at a 45 degree angle, but doesn't seem to serve any purpose. This might be the biggest issue.
IFHTT - That sig is awesome, I love the feel to it. Definitely looks better now without so much empty space. You might also want to try to add a light blue tint to the BG or in certain spots, just something I would try.
I agree. Try multicoloring the background.Originally Posted by xDarkMaster
Actually I had already started experimenting with it after I read Kraco's post. I am dabbling with some blues for sky right now.. I'll add the edited version to this post when I complete it
@PSJ umm i think i found it on a google :P so i really dont remember but if you want it ill upload it
and ill get to tinkering with the sig more tonight, and probably make another one
I'm official.
I'm unbelievably happy.
I'm >--< close to fixing photoshop.
I got sort of bored though, so I made these in Imageready.
Banner for a website, I hate it though .-.

Entered in a contest, the luminosity screwed everything up
Looks nice. My only concern is that the techy border doesn't fit the picture inside. It's also much sharper than the picture inside, which makes it a bit awkward. I'm a fan of 1 pixel black borders.Originally Posted by master_me
Yeah, a lot of people felt that way. It just looked sort of empty without it, and I tried a few other borders. It wasn't a very good sig from the start.
Anyway, I finally took the time to reinstall Windows and fix photoshop. I've been toying around and came up with a few that I like.
I really hate this, mostly because of the pattern in the background. I'm ditching it though. It was the first sig I made once photoshop was fixed.
My first piece of image manip; I like the way it turned out looking sort of like a painting, even though it was originally a real life photo.
I did the same thing with this as the one above, but I wanted to be sure the technique worked all around and gave off the same sort of vibe. I also discovered a method of embossing text, as if coming out of the landscape.
Latest; it took me a while. I could really use some tips on the text though.
And of course, none of these have borders. I figure the first three can get away with 1px borders, but the last one seems like it wants more.
The photomanips are pretty nice, not much to comment on.
The Gaara sig looks a big awkward due to the bright yellow part. It feels out of place and too vibrant.
