Furuno's Simplicity

[Izayoi]

<3 your 5 CM tags. Are they just crop tags? Damn amazing graphic quality if it is.

[Furuno]

@ Shana :
Well, of course!

@ Setsilya ~ :
Indeed, all what i did is the logo and the Furuno text in it. The art's is really great and the story is also great. You can find the original source by asking "Byousoku wallpaper" to your friend. It's on Yahoo! Japan site.

As a side note, the protagonist's story in Byousoku is similiar to me... I've past the chapter 2 and progressing to chapter 3. I hope that wont happen to me... *lol*

[Ledgem]

The "Byousoku 5cm" signatures are really amazing - seeing them in your posts on the tech support forum are what brought me here in search of them. Really great scene choice, and the black lines with the text are a nice touch that gives the signature a classy feel. My only complaint is that the English text is not really legible. Even if you took the height up to 160 pixels, adding 5 pixels to the top and bottom won't really let you increase the font size by much. It doesn't matter much overall, though. The Japanese text looks artistic, and we all know that it's Roman characters beneath it. Even if we can't read them, it gives the signatures a sophisticated feeling.

Nice artistic sense, and great works.

[Furuno]

@ Ledgem :
Thank you ver much I'm glad if there's people who like my sigs.

Yes it's unviewable however, the text under thw byousoku's kanji is "a chain of short stories about their distance" and under the name's katakana is the name itself. It's quite viewable on my 17" LCD though (1440x900). When creating a sig usually i use double of the size. In this case i'm using 800x300. Of course it's very viewable at that size, even tough i'm using 10px font size. Well... the font is small at the original logo itself... And i think it's quite nice to leave it that way

[Furuno]

My latest sigs, these are from Sky Girls. I made this during my boredom while programming, so maybe it wasn't too good. However I'm enjoying the logo re-creation progress... I like doing this kind of thing

Sorry if they're sucks...

Well, the backgrounds feels a little empty IMHO. Perhaps a few clouds or something similar could help.

[Furuno]

@ Daniel E. :
Indeed, well that's done when I'm bored anyway. Thank's for the comment. I've improved them now.

Okay, I've made quite a lot last night. First, here's the improvement of the previous Sky Girls sigs :

Spoiler for Sky Girls sigs:

And here's another sigs :

Spoiler for Sigs:

Simple, yet tiring to make. I've used 3DS Max to create the Tome of Night Sky. And it's hell of a task to recreate the Belkan Magic Circle....


I found this on my backup folder when creating those sigs. Since I can't find the .psd file I think it's quite old...

Comment & Suggestions please...

That's awesome, Furuno! I love the Rein Zwei siggy, I might ask you for a simple Rein (the original) sig . I love how the Tome of The Night Sky looks, you've done a great job.

Seems like Rein Zwei is yours already! She's loosing her clothes and the book!

As for the Noe sig, it's simply good. It's pretty, and I think there's something left to do to it, but I don't know what's it. Meh, GJ ^^.

Thanks. I don't have a lot of nice Reinforce image (Zwei is different story...) . But... well... let's see what can I do in a few weeks or so... Oh, nevermind, I'm tend to not finish something I've planned...

Indeed. I'm also feeling the same way...

[Furuno]

Here's some more new sigs...

Recently I've found this free visual novel called True Remembrance. Played it, screamed, cried, and made some sigs... Too bad because it's not a popular one (altough the story is just amazing) so there's not much image (actually very less...).

Spoiler for True Remembrance sigs:

Simple job, extracting, fill the background, re-draw the logo, and that's it...


Mu first time experimenting with smudge tool to extend the image. Wow, that's one helluva tool there...

Also, I'm also just finished watching Shakugan no Shana II, so, here's the sigs...

Spoiler for Shana sigs:

Uhhh... too big, tried my best to optimize it, but, well...


The non-animated sigs is completely AS compatible...




Again with 3dsmax cloud, then emphasized in Photoshop, add lens flare and...

And as usual, comments and suggestions is highly appreciated...

[Marina]

So simple as all these sigs, but I really like this one. The background/setting are serene and it's just an overall nice scene~

[Furuno]

Okay, at least my college project is over. So I've explored a new way to create a sig with Photoshop. Of course, still with simplicity in mind... If you you could read the small text I belief you will rofl... Here are they :

Spoiler for Signatures:

Actually I want to make more something like this... but, oh well... Now I'm figuring out how to create a sig with water reflections... for no reason...

You can also see the tutorial on how I've made them here.

I'll be honest and say I HATE FRACTAL WEB SIGS.
But nice job on them.
You pretty much always nail the text. People don't realise it but text is a very important part of sigs.
Good work, keep it up!

[Furuno]

@ KasumiGirl :
Thank you, but, well, I think it's called fractal flame ... ... nevermind
Well, I think the text is readable enough for me, but I'll try to improve that part.

Note : Looks better on LCD monitor rather than in CRT...

LOL, well whatever it is I hate those.
But they look like webs, no?

These two are very good!

And sorry for never replying to the other message. The backgrounds look a lot better now in those other sigs.

@ Daniel E. :
No problem. Any comments is much appreciated.

@ The Chaos :
Well, I just use smudge tool to blend the colors in the render to figure out what color should I use. I'm glad you liked it.

[Izayoi]

Some weird fractal render stuck together creating all sorts of weird flow :V I like the use of lolis though.
