I am back - well just for the graphic section

[skull3k3]

Well i retired from rs about a year ago, moved onto other online game, but i have always been doing photoshop work and also getting back into pixel work and i thought i come here to get a different opinion from you lot on my photoshop work as well as some pixel work to come in the future.

 

So here is some of my photoshop work in no really order:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To let you know nathan m is my name and what i go by on a GFX forum so dont say i ripped them -.-

Nice

 

I like the S.T.A.L.K.E.R one best tho (top one)

They look nice, but the last three seem too blocky/grainy, and could use borders. You could also experiment with text, put it on paths and such.

Well the last 3 were ones i did a while ago, i have been improving since then and i am working with new effects atm to create a new style for my sigs so i will keep up posted on how that goes

No idea who you are.

 

 

 

Anyways, the signatures.

 

 

 

 

 

1. Probably my favorite out of the bunch. I like the bit on the left, and even though it doesn't really flow well with the right side i like the contrast. However I'm not sure if I'm the biggest fan of the color scheme on the right, namely the green.

 

 

 

2. Not bad, but way too sharpened and way too much going on. Not a big fan of the guy centered as well.

 

 

 

3. Not as much a fan of this one. I don't like the blocky filter-ish effect you decided to use, and the text is jumbled up as well so it is hard to make out what it says. At first the image you used in it drew my eye in, but when I realized it wasn't something you had done I was a bit disappointed. Likewise it is a bit too sharp as well although the sharpness works well in this one (I guess).

 

 

 

4. Lot of the same comments on #3. I don't like the blocks, they just look kind of childish almost and there isn't much more actually going on in the signature. It's also (IMO) too sharpened.

 

 

 

5. Blegh, probably the worst out of all 5. The same blocky-filtery bit, except this time its just kind of plastered over what looks like a 3D render. The colors are too saturated as well and the text really doesn't flow with the piece. Likewise, I don't like the cheap "shadow" effect you did around it as it just makes the signature look worse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall they are ok, I guess. Just stick away from those boxes and you should be good. I'd rather you expand on the style as in the first one, as it is light years beyond any of the other images in the gallery. If I were to rate them I would rate #1 as a 7.5/10 or 8/10 while the others would be around the 4/10 to 5/10 mark. (comparatively).

Thanks for the comments.

 

The first one is my latest and is what style i am working with atm, more comments would be nice as well :)
