Can't even count the times I did that as well. Ok, I better leave since I think I'm giving you bad luck with my ideas

Suomi · 2010-10-10, 16:33

like so?

Urei · 2010-10-10, 23:22

Yes, that's what I was thinking. How do you feel about it? I mean about the smaller size. It still has the feel of a forest and not of a random leafy background. The details are a bit better too.

I think it'd be nice to use smart sharpening filter and play around a bit. If you want to have a little bit of a lighter feel to the signature you could always create a separate, clean layer on top of all the previous ones, paint some random big spots using a white colored brush and then play around with 'motion blur' filter settings. I found that to be a great way to lessen the 'heavy' feel of a graphic and add a bit of a feathery feel.

Also, I think it'd be nice to lighten up the colors a bit. Right now the signature has a feel of a very late 'sunset'. Also, ganbaru said it in the SOTM entry thread, about the text being less visible.

The sig is great and you did a really good job on it. Some tweaks and it'll get even better

The Chaos · 2010-10-11, 15:23

Nice work ..the last version is really good

Good luck with SotM ^_^

Suomi · 2010-10-11, 18:26

Urei-san: not sure how I feel about the size. As for the colors I reallyreallyreally don't wanna go in and try and adjust them again...but I might...or I might just change the text color or something...

I will try the brush thing and sharpening (do you mean auto sharpen?)

edit: new try:

Urei · 2010-10-12, 10:26

I really like your new draft, although as mentioned in the Entry thread, it feels as if it's actually winter that you wanted to present here

I like the border since it's light and does not stand out too much.

About the sharpening filter. It's a powerful tool and you need to use it carefully since it can create artifacts all over the signature. I was referring to 'Smart Sharpening' filter which you can find in the filters section of Photoshop, under the 'Sharpen' tab. It's a great tool since it lets you pick the % of the sharpening as well as the radius. It also has the ability to remove all softs of grains and Gaussian/Motion blurs as well. Easy to go wrong though.

Keep the good work!

OMG those are great Sworn, I didn't know you can draw

I can't give you cookies now, have to spread it around first

Yuno · 2010-10-17, 07:37

Very well done, I especially like Itachi, you've captured his stoic face perfectly~

Suomi · 2010-10-17, 15:17

bahahaha, I totally forgot about this thread.

Thank you MK, i've been at it a while.
Sora, thank you as well. I did my best, because I love Itachi

Yuno · 2010-10-17, 19:36

I'm also a fan of Itachi, I must confess I bought a forehead protector like his at a convention. I had it on my messenger bag for a long time until it vanished suddenly one day~

Awesome!! Sad that it vanished though. I wonder if another die hard fan took it

Yuno · 2010-10-17, 19:54

Hehe, most likely my absent mindedness, but if it was a die hard fan or if they found it I hope they shall love it well~

I have to agree with Sora here, when I saw Itachi's drawning, I instantly thought that it was amazing, love the drawings you did here Sworn, especially the Pokemon from 5th grade

Suomi · 2010-10-19, 22:50

final entry's in the thread.

Mah!! I need an idea for a new ava!! and possibly sig, though I love the Patchy-made Kotomi one so much. Maybe just ava.
Any ideas?

If you dont want to switch the sig by Patchy, and looking for a Kotomi avatar to match with it, then here is one for you (it has no border though....)

Or you looking for something else?

Uwah! so fast >_<

Maybe an animated one? thought it will spend some time... you can also try some transparent chibi sigs
