Signature Creation, Discussion and Improvement thread

[Chaho-Chi]

I've been off my game lately and I don't know why, I think I need help with this sig.

It's very badly made but I have no clue on how I can improve it...

I also need help on my previous one.

[bigdave]

*sigh* considering no one visits my thread anymore i thought that i would get some C&C on my recent sig



PS Don't talk about the text, I KNOW its not good but what about everything else :P

[Endrance]

hmmm its a bit choppy in certain parts but the sig itself is okay
just try to make the parts near his body a bit smoother ^^

I hereby revive this thread..


This is the starting point for a sig. I did a crop/resize and upped the saturation for better color. However: I need a background for it, and I can't seem to find one that fits. Any ideas as to color/design/etc let me know. It's supposed to be artsy but not feminine.

I took a look at your profile, and I think AddiKtioNn-BlaCk asked me to do the same request... Except, the link showed up as a blank page on my computer, and it seems to have worked for you though. I asked him for a different link to be sent to me, though no reply...

In any case, what I would normally do, whenever I look for any background or source for an effect, I always like to go search "abstract art" on google images. Whenever there are moments when I'm uninspired for something, I just know that some certain design needs to go here, I look for abstract art to put into the background. Some editing thereafter can work a long ways to making something look good. In fact, almost every sig I've done, has mostly been removal of a background and cleaning up, then adding abstract overlays. This, for me at least, has served me pretty well...

And I'm pretty sure an abstract background can prove to be very artsy, and not feminine. Just find something that looks nice, tweak around with the colors of it... That's all I can say for right now. I don't exactly have the perfect plans for making sigs, I don't make the best, but it works well enough for me.

Anybody want to help me resize an image?

[Star-Wing]

^
What image?

[Suomi]

EDIT:
finished product:

blah. I spent like an hour on it...just trying to learn blending...

[Kaze]

Finished a new project, have been working on it for some time, almost gave up half-way through because I just couldn't get it right.

This is what I got.



Meh.

[Suomi]

I love the effects, and the hologram-ish style of the cards, and teh shadows/glows, Kaze. Who is it of?

Hah, thanks, even though I almost gave up on it

It's from the game I'm currently no-life playing
Persona 3 Portable
to the Right is the main character (yourself)
and the left is his persona, his "inner self".
the 2 cards have a deeper meaning, which I won't bother boring you with if you haven't played the game

*Edit*

The fireworks were bugging me very much, so I changed it

My new version, and I hereby stop working on it

Well, the Original game is on the Playstation 2
But right now I bought the remake of the game for the PSP, so now I'm playing that non-stop

which version of the sig do you like more btw? the first one, or the second one I made?

Hmm. I'm getting a PS2 (and paying a third of the price!) so I might get it.

The first.

[bloppyblue]

Could someone give me pointers on my signature right now? It's the first time I've tried something like it xD

I can't seem to get the colour tone on the Ritsu (left) to match up with Kanbaru (right).

Using Photoshop? Just adjust the Levels. Move the white slider (right) inwards. You can also tweak the gray slider (middle) to achieve the same effect.

Left side is very well done IMO. Right side...not so much. If the color of one of the renders is purple, and the other is blue, you can't just do an all/mainly blue bg because the left render will look unnatural in the sig. You want to mix up the bg somehow. Also, another thing is render choice. Personally, if I'm creating a sig with two renders, I would usually use two that are displayed in the same perspective. In your sig, the perspective of the two renders is different. Lastly, decrease the opacity of your c4d because it sticks out too much. Just my two cents . Otherwise it's really great

[Kaze]

Woaaaaaaah, man was I searching in the wrong section of the forum to find this thread

Anyways, this might be a bit older now, but Star fixed the Persona Sig:




On another note, been wanting to do this one for a while now ever since I found the image.
I tried my hand at smudging again, after all this time!

Spoiler for The New one!:

[Suomi]

The smudging is nice.
...no further comments?
and the persona sig looks better. Nice n' clean.



i got bored, I love purple, and I'd saved a bunch of renders. The purple wavy stuff is a fractal render, which is also what's on the text. (I shall learn to love these)
I know the arm looks funny...clone-stamping issues...tried to fix it but it didn't work. >.<
