    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 )

    Everyone notice my new sig?


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    damn, haven't checked in this thread for awhile. Zinobi and Lucifus are still doing damn well (Lucifus, you must spend so many hours in PS...)

    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...

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity.

Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I finished watching a video of the old "Battle of the Planets" series, y'know, the one that was butchered(then again, all of the English releases were), and I got the inspiration to do a sig... nothing to shout home about in terms of style, but it conveys the truth quite well I'd say


  6. #5206
    I need opinions:



    And yes, I know there is no text or border. I'll work on that afterwards.

    A bit tall and a little flat, but not terrible.

    Hikyuu - Your sigs lack depth, you generally want to go for white whites and black blacks.

    Got some new stuff, mostly work in C4D.


    First for personal use, second was a request on another forum. Neither turned out that amazing :/
    All you guys are getting good and I'm losing it

    I'm back into C4D too, not that I was ever really into it in the first place.

    Not much to say about either these, these turned out a lot better than that stuff I made in September.

    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?

    The "Swear" one is pretty sweet to.

    Man o Man do I wish I could model something liek you did with those headphones. Thats it, I'ma devout the last week o Summer to modeling something.

    RofL! The UFO one has me lmao! Excellently done!~

    Gah, thanks
    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...

    remove the text, it's out of place and distracting.
    -----------------

    BoC You can do much better.

    I think this might be my best one yet:



    *Note: I've given up completely on text.

    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.

    Good work.

    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.

    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...
