New sig or wallpaper? show it off here!

[Alhuin]

I might still mess around with the border some, but if you all like if for it's simplicity, then I guess it's done. Gonna post it on another forum and see what they say. I have a few more that I'm working on... but I can't finish them yet because I'm running out of ideas to keep them "fresh". Gonna look around at some more tuts probably tonight or tomorrow.

I'd like to make a new one to use here, but it's so hard to work with a 100px height restriction (I've tried at least 4 different sigs, but nothing is coming out right).

And I second the motion for anyone/everyone with Photoshop skills (novice or professional) to crank out a few pages worth of sig revival.

Well, heres another contribution.

Tribute to Shinta (Love your lastest, heres my attempt at a remake), Fallout 3, Ah My Goddess, and Gotwoot.

Heres another:

Edit: Whoopsie...double post, my bad. I thought in my mind Shinta had made a post but it was a rep. -_-

I'm somewhat active luci :P

Superb Nerine sig Luc. The colour contrast is just astounding. I also like the other one, though I would have preferred an image with her square pupils visible.

Done at school on a Mac.....Why dont they right click...I swear to god.

I'll edit her at home, this isn't a final copy. =P

Did i mention i've recently become a pathetic CC fanboy?

U THE MAN LUCIFUS!!

[shinta|hikari]

I like it, but if you bring the render closer it might look even better. She looks a bit too small for the sig, IMHO.

[Lucifus]

Bah....this is ridiculous. How did this thread die? We now barely have 3 people frequenting it, and if their are others, there are no posts. =(

Frigging lurkers! Burn in hell! We need new meat in the Photoshop junction.

Edit: BTW, Zinobi, you certainly have a interesting style. =P I like though. =)

Edit2: Chirst, I can go back a hundred pages and more and remember near every signature. So awesome.

Shinta, your lastest reminded me of this ancient one by IFHTT.

[Zinobi]

I get one comment.
And a good rep too i suppose.
but still i cant expect much more from such an inactive thread...

GET IN GEAR YOU LAZY BUMS! DO YOUR JOB!

@ Lucifus... I really really like the Rider sig... a great render, and an amazing background. Might I ask what effects you used on it? Or was it originally like that? Text looks good as always. As for the Nerine sig, I don't really like it, mostly because of the background. I just don't feel it fits the render. I think it would look a lot better on a smaller canvas with maybe like.. a snowy background, or a "cool" background (cool as in temperature)... or something. The render and text are nice though. As for your Belldandy sig... wonderful, I just don't like the black brush strokes at the bottom. Doesn't feel right in the sig. It draws my interest away from the focal point. Of course, upon closer inspection, it looks as though that may be a part of the actual background stock, and if so, I guess there's not much you can do. And lastly, your CC sig... I like it, but like Shinta said, would probably look better with the render closer. The background looks amazing, and I respect you for being able to pull off a wonderful sig on a Mac (I haven't used a Mac, but I imagine if you can't right click, it's difficult enough to Photoshop). I don't really like the text on it though... or at least the "thy will be done" part. And I think you should try to blend the render in a bit more, especially around her hair. I can see a lot of choppiness.

@ Zinobi: I'm liking your style, but I have a few issues with the sig. First of all, I suggest making your name a little less visible. Try lowering the opacity on it, or set it to soft light... try to make it blend it a little bit more so it doesn't draw interest away from your focal point. I like your idea of the brushing on his hand/gun to kinda make it "stick out", but the brushing you used kinda looks like someone took a 1px pencil on white and scribbled to try and make it look like brushing. I recommend going to deviantart and downloading some brushes... there are plenty out there with a brush in them that would look amazing for the effect you were going for. The background seems a little weird for the render, but it looks cool. As well as the border, though I'm just not used to using that style of border. The sig has great potential. Keep up the good work, and take a look at some tutorials. They're a great way to learn new techniques and keep your sigs looking fresh, as well as improving a lot faster than by just you're own experimentation.

EDIT: As for some new sigs for me... I've been busy the past couple of days, so haven't really finished any. But I have a few in the making. Still looking for ways to improve though, so it may be awhile before I finish another one. And, I'm still on a quest to find a reputable sig to replace my current on the forums. Haha...

[Zinobi]

Umm.. thanks.
But next time just dont think im oblivious to where things are and how to acquire other skills.
I'm not new to this. Remember that please.

[Alhuin]

I never said you were new man... I was just trying to provide resources for improvement. Just part of my criticism.

The first one is great, Nad. I like the texture of it, and the simplicity/calmness. The text feels a bit out of place (at that spot), but it's not bad. Everything seems to flow nicely. I just recommend putting your name in there somewhere (don't want anyone bogarting your style... haha). The second one I'm not feeling so much. The render needs to be more of the main focal point, so I recommend making it more centralized and a bit bigger. Everything after that, though, I'm at a loss for.

Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing more. Don't forget to look online for some tuts if you want to try out some new techniques.

Edit: Oh, and by the way... I don't know if you are a beginner or not.. but you're doing a great job (I got in trouble before for "assuming" such nonsense!)...

I'll look for some tutorials and whatnot, but I'm more into Wallpapers. See the signature? It's low quality because I didn't spend time to redesign it. Thanks for the advices.

[Lucifus]

Heh, I like the first and love your current. The render is adorable.

You should totally post another, or a wallpaper even. If ya do I'll see what I can churn out.
Lets breed some life into this thread.

For now, I'ma go own CSS.

If you can guess what Wallpaper 3 is, I'll give you a cookie.

Oh snap... it's an XP (or maybe Vista) Dango family! I win, right?

Great wallpapers by the way.

[Lucifus]

Straight up Windows Dango family. xD

Alrighty, lets see what I can churn out eh.

Its thanksgiving, past midnight and im in photoshop. I feel so sad....
