Your best so far, but it still needs alot work. The font is overused, by many people. I have it too, I cant remember the name but its time to try a new one. The colors dont really suit the render, gray+skin color - purple dont work out. Take a look at this render. The first colors that should pop into your mind are Red, Blue and white. Use these colors with that render and you would have a nice start. Render 2 < Colors you should use? Green and pink. The border could use work too, for the best result you should try a simple 1px black stroke around the signature. Keep it up.

I noticed the big spot too, i thought it had to do with the lens... A dirty sensor, ofcourse. #-o I have never cleaned it, so thanks for pointing that out.

The text is incredibly large in every signature. And the text doesnt blend in, your next goal should be to work on the text. (And also, the placement.) The renders also dont blend in, thats because you dont use brushes enough. Im not saying you need brushes to blend, but using brushes to blend is a good start. I recommend DA for good brushes. If you want to improve, you have to read lots and lots of tutorials. Pixel2Life is a website I used alot, its stuffed with good tutorials. Talking about good tutorials, I believe Good-Tutorials is a good one too. And again, DA is also very good for tutorials. Keep practicing, practice makes perfect.

What do you want to do with this topic? Do you to show your signature to others, or are you making sigs for others? If you want to make sigs for others, please do so at The Art Bazaar. :wink:

@ Rainy_Day: It was chilly indeed, I had to go after 90 minutes because my hands were freezing. There were quite alot people though, also another photographer :) @Neishc and Thru: I thought you ment the snow that fell down at the photo, not the rainbow colors at the left :) @Laserdude: Thanks @Dirtypotato Thanks :D Do you need a bigger photo for your desktop? If yes, whats your desktop size in pixels. @Sara_Mange: The Canon EOS 350D and the Canon XTI Rebel are the same cameras, but the Japanese manifacturers call it the 'Rebel' instead of the American name, 350D. And Thanks. @Jopie211: Thanks :)

Gelderland>De Achterhoek>Doetinchem>De Kruisberg. Its behind a big hospital called 'Het Slingeland Ziekenhuis'. :wink: Google Map Location

@yaff: If the sun wouldnt be in them the photos would look dull, I thought. But I do have one without the sun, this one. @Neishc: I use a Canon EOS 350D, with the standard 18-55mm lens, 80-200mm analog (I used that one at the 2 photos with the family in it) and a 28-80mm analog, but I rarely use it. I used the kitlens with a Macro filter on it, since Im still trying to buy a Canon EF 100mm USM Macro lens from the US. I need a company that ships worldwide, LP has already given me a useful link. @Nadril: Thanks :) @Neishc, again: I discovered it when I viewed it full screen, it adds alot to the photo IMO. @LP: I thought that too, I have a less-over exposed photo here. I have thought about getting a Circular Polarizing filter, never tried to buy one though. I should buy one this vacation. Thanks for the replies everyone, keep 'em coming.

I added the last one after I posted it, so I think you meen the one before the last one :wink: Thanks.

I still like to photograph, it gets more fun every time I go out to shoot. This morning my dad woke me up, and he told me the weather was great to make photos. And he was right, the trees were white with a clear blue sky. So I went to the woods nearby, 'De Kruisberg'. Its quite a big area, with lots of paths etc to discover. Here are the best photos, reply if you like. By leaving a reply you motivate me to post more, because this takes more than 1 hour to upload. And, I can give you a bigger version if you would like to use it as wallpaper. Enjoy. (^ImageShack couldnt handle that photo, so I used tinypic.) \ Update: Some older photos, from the day I made the portrait of my brother. Some of you may remember it, but I have added it with the new photos anyway. [hide=Update, 23 December] Old portrait: http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com/art/Expression-72252725 [/hide]

Yeah; I actually have a hard time remembering someone from high school/college who did not copy homework from others. We even had social networks under the teacher's noses, for exchanging homework (like if I sucked at math but were good in english or biology, we'd do each other's homework occassionally), or paying a geek a few bucks to do our homework & aid him in some other way like picking him for an easy/physically non-demanding task in sports class etc. Most homework is just repeating of what you've already learned, so I don't even see it as cheating. But since it's something you'll need to do to pass classes even if you learn nothing from it, you might just as well get it done one way or another. Yeah man, I don't count copying homework as cheating -- I did it all the time. 0 risk of getting caught and most times its just a pain. Haha, not at our school :lol: You have to watch out for the (I believe they are called caretakers, they clean and control a part of the administration. They walk around the school) , they will ask for your teacher (from the subject you were making) and they will tell the teacher that He was copying from Him. So its always like :-w when he walks by.

This might help you: Moved to Tech and Computers.

That sig is very good, might be your best so far. (Better than the Halloween entry, in my opinion) 2 things to improve: The white flare above could be removed, it could look beter that way. And his ear stands out too much, while that isnt important at all :P . Try to let the whole face stand out. Well done. =D>

I have cheated like... the whole test today... I feel like a loser :-# We had to write German letters to someone. We had practiced 5 letters, and we got 1 mash up letter from those 5 at the big test. And, you could use your dictionary to look up words. =P~ It is just too much, learning 5,5 A4 sized papers. I know, its possible but this was a chance I had to grab. So I had typed out every letter and put them in my dictionary. This was the last Letter Test I had to make, so I have finished this part. And I wont have it on my exams, so I guess Ill never cheat this way again. :shame: , I know.

Eastern Promises Movie trailer With Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn in Lord of the Rings) and Naomi Watts. Great movie about the Russian Maffia. The fighting scenes were awesome, they looked stunningly real. I hope someone else has seen it to, over here :)

Thanks. :) I need more opinions, I want to make more portraits in the future.

Yeah i agree with you there completely. Couldnt've better summed up what i was thinking. I agree, if you would cheat without stopping you will go down once. But if you cheat the right way (every now and then, only when you need to, only when the chance is there) cheating could be very useful. Besides, the teacher should be able to discover someone who is cheating.

Have you ever cheated at tests? Some people say its for lazy people, some cheat alot. A friend of mine had discovered that an Art teacher had put the upcoming test (for past friday) at a website our whole school uses, ItsLearning. The teacher mustve forgot to put it on 'Hide from students', because everybody could download it if they wanted :P So my friend had downloaded it, questions/answers/images, everything. It had been online for about 2 days before he did hide it, and he gave us the same test. :-s Me, the one above and another friend (lets call him 'M') were the only 3 who knew about it, so we had made a pretty great test :) Today, the one who downloaded the test had told me that an art teacher had questioned 'M', he asked why M had made only 3 mistakes :shock: He told me M started shaking, but he lied and the teacher seemed to believe him. Everybody gets 3/10 and 4/10 for tests like that, and he will probably get a 9/10 or something :lol: [/story], post yours here.

You live in england? Yep no snow here either :@. Mabye a bit of snow when an atlantic front mixes with the Cold siberian air :pray: , just mabye next week we may get like 1 cm Its in my location, I live in The Netherlands :) I dont think anyone here has had snow so far.

Its even worse when they start whining, and the parents just keep on talking to another adult. And they cant be stopped if they start crying. #-o

Nope, no snow here. Soon there are about 4 nights with about -3 Celsius, so I hope snow will come then.

I was lucky, the sun was pretty low when I took the photo. The light was pretty warm too. The original is in color, I converted it to Black and White in Photoshop. I also changed the Brightness and Contrast a bit. I could post the color version too, if people would like that. Thanks for the replies everyone.

This is my first 'Real' portrait, in black and white. Ofcourse I made photos from other people before, but this one is special. :) The link you have to click to see it I really like it, this might be my best photo ever. 8-) Please give me CC, Rate if you want (doesnt really help me, but go ahead). I cut off a small part of the right side, for better cropping.

I kept this topic open for a reason, but this seems to go nowhere after all. -Locked, spam.

do what? How you managed to find the right balance that makes the manipulation so good. I should post less in the evening. #-o
