Haha I think so too. Another thing is having 100 times more c4ds Thanks And my lighting one is an old one...back when my sigs were in the teens layer wise I'll probably use it indefinitely since I don't like the 160 px height limit so my time is better spent making what I like

Update (what Patchy-chan was talking about )

[Star-Wing]

It's ok ^.^ Good luck on your quest to enhance your skills
Thank you

And thank you for describing that in so much detail O_O I am going to try it ASAP! Thanks a lot <3 And I hope it comes as great as yours And if it doesn't....I'll have to rely on your psd Thanks for that too ^-^ That's nice of you. I'll let you know how my sig turns out.
Btw, wow, so many steps No wonder the sig is so amazing :3 I still can't give you cookies >_>
Do you have topaz vivacity?

And your Iron Man sig looks great *.* The font looks amazing (which, may I ask ) and I like its placement. Plus the size is nice too, and yea, if you like making bigger sigs, then go for it ^.^ This one looks really good Even the c4ds placement is good and the lighting goes well with it....I just feel that the lightning on the extreme top right should be a bit towards his head...it just seem like that to me ^^;

Oh btw, is there a colored version of this...I am just curious, I want to see how it looks.

Haha thank you If you think that one took a lot of steps, wait til you see my other psds And yeah, I do have Topaz.

The font is called Planet Kosmos. It's pretty cool, the only drawback is that when you try to add a stroke, it's really jagged -_- And thanks for the tip! I moved it a bit

There isn't a colored version. The colors were too hard to blend together so I just did a B/W adjustment layer and voila, everything blended well! That's pretty much the only reason I use black and white, because I usually like color more. I'd show you the psds, but I can't upload anything from my computer atm or else Chrome crashes

I knew it... you're everyday on gfxresource right? always seeing your username there lol...

That's why you're improving drastically >_<... I'm kinda intimidated there that's why I'm rarely visiting that thread...

The left Irobot have better composition when it comes to text... and the perspective on how you are viewing it is better too..

The Halo one have really good lighting as usual....

Yup! Who else would use my username? And I am on there everyday, maybe even more than AS You shouldn't be intimidated Pathcy-sama! Even though you may feel overwhelmed by the skill of people there (like tuni, budha, Mecca, gomz, hope, pretty much all the staff), the way I see it, its very valuable to have that kind of environment so you can get great CnC and learn lots of tips from the pros You should be more active What's your username there?

I'm actually considering becoming elite so I can improve even more quickly, but I need to focus more on school...*sigh*

Thanks for the tip about the iRobot vert I never even considered the perspective so nice catch there Patchy-chan

Heh heh yeah I had to do some adjustments to make it look like night...

Have you seen my Crysis tag yet?



The progressive blur kind of dulled some of my smudging layers, but the result still turned out pretty well IMO.

Rennir, that Crysis work is really impressive, the only thing than is bothering me are thoses black lines, may I suggest to either remove it or at least to reduce their opacity.

[rikikai]

Really nice work!
+1 with Ganbaru and the black thing on the right ... I don't really understand what does this do here.

Awww...thank you so much zebra-chan! Those compliments are very nice, and even though it isn't true, it still gives me more confidence

Appreciate your CnC. I'll try a version without the lines. And they are part of the effects/clipping masks and they were also for accentuating the flow

Thanks Chaos-chan
I promise to make your gift even better


EDIT: Newest piece, photo manip




v2



I was going to shrink the canvas size and get rid of the top orb, but bsotw deadline was earlier than I thought and I'm too lazy to go back to this piece

Original Stock for comparison

Spoiler for Original:

Now that I look at it, I might've burned the render a bit too much in some parts...

And don't ask why I named it "Until the world ends" because it was sort of arbitrary If it weren't for BSOTW rules, I wouldn't have added any text...

^^ saw them... I really liked their works specially Tuniboy... his skills/works on grafx is my fave among them... though I can't follow some of his tutorials *failed miserably*

The heck... that crysis tag.... was really really... look great...

On your new sig... I loved the v2 there maybe since I loved lighting special effects like that... (I don't know what is really good/better... since I don't know how pro thinks )

[Suomi]

...*falls over dead inn amazement* D: how amazing, Rennir! You've improved so so so much....smudging, C4D, lighting and flow are great, text is really cool...what more is there to say? Gee...XD I feel intimidated too, Patchama!

Yeah Tuniboy is freaking awesome!!!! Wait, what tuts does he have? I saw his Genesis one, which was really great, but does he have other ones? I really wanna know how he made that spiderman tag...Haha that's cause you don't usually follow tuts cause you just make your own stuff

Oh thank you I won BSOTW 113 with that

Yeah I liked the light balls too, I just needed to improve placement a bit. Yeah you do Patchy! You are a pro

Thanks Illu-chan Haha unfortunately, my smudging still sucks. I just can't smudge well, even with good settings for some reason. Gonna have to work on that sometime D:

Awww...Pat-chama you flatter me too much You and I both know I'm nowhere near a champion--more like an apprentice Thanks for the complement though.


Two new ones:






Haven't been happy at all with the last three tags I created. The pegasus one was just boring and the colors weren't very interesting; the Warcraft one was really bad too because I seemed to have forgotten all the fundamentals when making it; and the first one above didn't turn out anywhere near how I pictured it in my head. But I'm glad I created at least one I liked, which is the Dead Space one

EDIT: Waaahhhhh!!! Tuni decided to do a collab with me!!!! It's a dream come true!!

Anyways, here we go!

My start


His finish


Oh and CnC is welcome!

[apparitionyouko]

ur work's lookin pretty good man. i can see ur style starting to develop.
if ur looking for cc, i'd say keep up what u've been doing recently and break away from the same formulas and patterns for making tags u used in the past.
u've already done the generic styles everyone teaches in tutorials enough and u have it down, now it's time for u to break down everything u learned doing that, and focus in on ur own style.
the last two tags, the crysis one, and the irobot and orc ones are what i mean.
check out my stuff, u can see how i developed a more personal style coming from the same steps ur taking right now.
