ColAvanor Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I haven't made sigs in ages. Got an inspiration and brushed a pretty nice 200*500 seahorse. Started designing a signature around it, but I went further and further away from a fitting scene. The result is a tad empty and does not include the original seahorse at all (aha! there might be yet another sig coming...). It's a bit different, and a bit pointless... The fishes on the left (they are fishes...not bubless) were on the right at first and functioned there better, but the texts didn't seem too good while on the same side. Had to swap the suckas. The object on the left is a treasure chest (arrrr...pirate booty). Give me a comment, I like to think of it as a WIP. I'll surely take any CC into concideration. Thanks all! Oh yeh, It's brushed in PS. A few hours. Especially pleased with the ocean floor (those wavy things took some time...). PS it is for sale :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTSnyper Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 looks a bit dark.. But that is likely because my monitor does that =P Otherwise it just looks a tad empty and like a landscape..but a good GOOD one! (glub glub) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eissob Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Well, i actually really like the sig, its nice and calming a great sig in my opinion. Maybe you could put the seahorse somewhere near your name like Col. (seahorse) Avanor, or somethink like that. i dont really see any changes needed.

ColAvanor Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 It's trying to be melancholic (sp..) and thus the darkness. It's never particulary fun to sink to the bottom, I'd say. :wink: Yeh, it lacks a little content. Have a suggestion, what should I be adding? I tried adding the seahorse to the name and frankly pretty much everywhere, but I pained me to much to shrink the huge detailed one into 10 * 20 pixels... I think I'll just save it for a future project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatsilverwyrm Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 You should try making a full-sized peice instead of just a sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korla Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 it's a bad idea in a very good package. kinda like McDonalds, but the opposite...well, anyway. not really a bad idea, it just feels like it won't sell to the public, there's too much depth (no pun intended ;)). but the way you did it is awesome, great skill IMO. i would like to see you try your hand at brighter colours, though, like a coral reef maybe? watch finding nemo for ideas. great movie btw ;) i am a fan of your work, a must-see when around these parts of the forums anyway, keep it up man :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entangle Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 You should try making a full-sized peice instead of just a sig. I am in 100% agreement with this. It'd be nice to see other so called artists here put that into practice too.

FrothKahn Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 This is exceptional, the ocean floor effect is awesome, as well as the objects. But I don't like how the typo is placed in two different directions, IMO you should ditch the Col Avanor typo and just leave the other one. And the effects you used to represent the fish needs to be changed. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known it was fish. You could definitely add some tone variation to the fish for starters. Ultimately though, its still an awesome sig as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Great sig, I'll offer 50k for it, all I have left unfortunetly, worth much more IMO. As for a suggestion, it's a bit dark ;). May want to either lighten the whole thing up, or add some lighter objects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molishist Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Wow, awesome. Every signature you've made I like a lot. I guess I could bid 75K on it. If I was richer, I'd give a lot more for it. Nice job, 9.5/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthu Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Wow, you simply are good. The text 'The sunken' looks a little too simple maybe. I think it's too dark too, but it's ok if it's ok for you :) Great job :) 99+ all 23rd March 2012 - 2496 total 13th June 2012.9000+ dragon drops!

Keiphus Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Just one thing I saw... The volumetric light coming from the top of the signature is pointing (if this page were a compass) South-Southeast. But the light source based on the illumination of the ocean floor seems to be coming from South-Southwest... A bit confusing. I would maybe try adding some more light rays coming from that same direction, and definitely flip the other ones around. It's dark, yes, but maybe brighten it up just a hair? I think more lights coming from maybe where your name is would accomplish this. Other than that, I don't know how you went about brushing that floor, it really does look amazing. Good work. Would like to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azvareth Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 I really can't be arsed to follow the form. So I'll just say that it's really, really brilliant, and very, very nicely executed. Looks like nothing I've seen being made in Photoshop before. If you added a little more light, I think it would be even more awesome. Oh yeah, if you haven't figured it out already, I must have this one as well. My current bid is 200k, anything below that is a degradation to this fine piece of graphic, IMO, and each time someone bids higher, I will automatically increase my bid with 20k. (on a second note, I have found a reasonable payment, would you finish the Lordi signature... - it begins with a 'W'. :D But if I ever happen to catch you in-game, we'll talk more about it (since you haven't paid for the sig Demented and I made for you, yet :wink:).)

ColAvanor Posted November 26, 2004 Author Share Posted November 26, 2004 ah, my display is so super bright... the sig is actually pretty bright for me. Checked it out with school's CRT and all I saw was black. (almost). Redoing the fishes and working again with the light as I get home tomorrow. Thanks a lot for compliments and comments. Azvy, I'll pay as I get the full colour version. Or will it cost extra? Going to give the lord another try in this weekend also. About bigger sizes.. all my sigs are done at about 4 times the resolution seen. Major pain shrinking them :wink: . I still think that my skills won't cut it at, say, wallpaper size.

jabraulter Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 You should try making a full-sized peice instead of just a sig. yea if you could, id like to make it my background maybe. then brush some coral and underwater vents with smoke billowing out of them. that would be pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
