Experimenting for another style. This worth a tutorial?
Experimenting for another style. This worth a tutorial?
prob not, not too visually appealing IMO. But its great that you experiment instead of sticking to the same old shit like most people.
hmm...
I'm official.
Haven't poked around in Shop for awhile...
finally got some stuff done with these Itachi sigs... What do you guys think? Critiscism encouraged, if you think it'll help, i'd appreciate it.
hosted on DF's new place... testing... (look, see? dumb small thumbnails...)
-edit DF....
made the border with my first ever PShop Action! huzzah
edit- it appears my border action was a bit off...(fixed for 1st & 2nd versions)

Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Personally love the Itachi/Sasuke one. Very well done on it.
I have to agree with Lucifus. Very nice job on the first one.
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...
i blame deadfire's new site for this new found inspiration in Photoshop amateuring...

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

Would that be =IM= and in an Unreal Tournament IM or some other game?
Just curious.
Also Masa, I love this one:
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.

@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.

Also Masa, I love this one:
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...EDIT: Working on a new adbanner for Twisted Renders. C+C needed.

Well, the text to me is a must... thing is, this was originally going to be a vector job. Of course, I'm an asshole and decided not to do what was originally planned. I'm doing a more vectorized one soon, so I guess we can just see how this thing works out.

Couldn't help but try my hand at an Ichigo sig, using the image that I'm sure has been used a million times. Here's the progression, feedback is much appreciated, as always.
Space BG, added a neon smoke art to it, render. Messed with dupe layers, blending, etc. First time using a lens flare.
Some clone stamp action, slight brushing
Color and contrast/brightness balance layers, took a layer of the render away, some masking and a blended a brushed pattern fill layer.
Text (blech) and some slight editing. What do you guys think?

here are some code geass wallpapers I just tried. I havent used photoshop for like 6 years, and I never really made anything seriously.

http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...devilsdeal.jpg
this one has really bad quality images so its just for tiled wallpaper display.
http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/b...ractinsnow.jpg
And the sig is new too. I would like some comments, but since Im an absolute noob at this, please be nice.
Peace.
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!

Thanks for the comments and advice! I really appreciate it. Im gonna get to work and try out the stuff you mentioned.
I also made some new ones after the first few, so again, please tell me what you think

Peace.
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.
new one from me:
I'm official.
Man I just got back to Photoshop after a few months.
What do you guys think?
