Takeo's Sigs & Avatars

[Takeo]

Hm, can't think of too much to say for an intro...

Art is hardly my thing - I'm more of a science wiz - but I've always enjoyed sketching and doodling. Since I was fortunate enough to receive Photoshop CS2 as a gift a while back, I've spent a lot of time on it instead.

I am still pretty new to Photoshop (I used to do all my old terrible avatars in Paint), but have been having a lot of fun messing around and learning while creating sigs and avys for myself and others. I'll be the first to admit I've got a ways to go to be as good as the other artists here, so feel free to comment and leave some feedback. I do want to get better.

(Most of my sigs and static avatars are on a DVD back-up I burned...just have to find it...til then, here's what I have left on my drive)

Avatars (I've done several requests, though none of which I've posted here unless they're not in use)

Spoiler:

Signatures (Most of these are ASF-safe right now, except for the animated .gif)

Most are very nice, except some of the sigs are a bit big.

Yaay 3rd post Anyway, you did a great job on those sigs. Lol, I like how it looks silky and shiny

Spoiler for I like these a lot:

--> Keep up the good work mate!

Someone requested Skuld in the AMG section a few months ago, so I posted a bunch there - here are the other three:

[Takeo]

Managed to edit most of the sigs so they're at least ASF-safe. Also added a few more I had forgotten I'd uploaded elsewhere:







(now if I could find my back-up DVD...)

[Takeo]

Added some more recent ones

[SweetHoney]

You've gotten off at a very good start.

This avie somehow makes me giggle



and at the same time it's rather cute. Congratz on opening up your own thread and I look forward to your avies and sigs in the future

^Love all of these right here because they are just too cute. <3 Very cool.

Bu this avatar, no offense but I don't like how you cover her face like that with the text. You couldn't have lower the text a little bit but keep it the effects the same. I mean I love it but for me the best thing to do is to lower the text to maybe by her shirt or whatever. :

Yeah, I had trouble finding a good place to blend the text in - looking at it again, I'd probably just stick the text in the background.

Anyway, here's another recent one I started (not finished yet...)

^ Hm.. Not too bad. What anime is this anyway?

Adding some older sigs









Almost finished with the Gurren Lagann sig, and I've got a few Code Geass and D.Gray-Man sigs to add later.

Adding one

You might want to learn how to create depth and emphasis [generally follows depth, or is it the other way around?] in your work. Right now, there isn't anything specific to look at [the focal point is actually the red jewel in his hand, but it isn't interesting].

Thanks for the tip.

The two major mistake of this lovely signature= blur maxed+male render. *WHERE DID MY LOLIS GO!

[Sephi]

Indeed to much blur. And lacking cute girls

But a bit more serious.
Try sharped and than erase what you don't need. Or just use the sharpen tool for it on a new apply image layer. And do the same for blurring.

The blurring I can work on - the male render, not so much (it's for a request from a friend)

Anyway, version 2:
