There are two ppl who use this account, my brother is known as Mary Popp on rs and he's awesome compared to me at abstract sigs.. Im the one who makes pixel sigs and whos been around the last month or so.. I dont know much about normal abstract sigs and to be honest Ive never done em cus photshops hard :D, im gunna try make some!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First sig

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Second sig

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

third sig

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fourth sig

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not that proud of the first one cus its too dark.. I just want some advice on how I can make future sigs better.. I know its rubish but im eager to get good quick, trust me I do.. just look at the difference with my old and new pixel sigs..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Im gonna stress this - Please help I hate just doing pixel sigs!)

- No he's not.

 

 

 

- That doesn't look like an abstract.

 

 

 

- The quote is rubbish.

 

 

 

- Too dark (as you mentioned).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Either stick to pixel sigs in the future, or read up on some/a lot of tutorials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry for the unnecessary bluntness.

no need to be so negitive azvy, he's merly trying this for fun.

ill give you a few tips on making abstracts:

 

 

 

*needs to be lighter, darkish colours are more grunge types.

 

 

 

*download some new brushes.

 

 

 

*don't over brush especially over the rendered pic.

 

 

 

*try adding a border, it makes sigs seem more completed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to make a pixel border on photoshop:

 

 

 

1. make a new layer

 

 

 

2. press ctrl + a (selecting the whole layer)

 

 

 

3. then click on Edit > Stroke...

 

 

 

4. set width to 3 px and colour to white

 

 

 

5. repeat steps 1,2 and 3.

 

 

 

6. set width to 1 px and colour to black.

wth?? that wasn't bluntness that was just taking the piss.. what the hell did I do to deserve that??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wrote he's awesome compared to me, I was told it was abstract (Im sorry I made you cry about it.. :lol: just a mistake).. I know its bad, its my first ever photoshop sig and I said I didnt want that rated so why are you deconstructing everything about it?? are you thick??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My quote is rubish??? since when do ppl rate quotes?? I dont see myself as a a-hole so its just an example of positive critism.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am asking for advice so please don't to me like Im a child, and cheers axeraider your right im just up for trying anything.. Azvareth I dont even know who you are.. if I knew you, what you wrote would be ok but honestly mate sort yourself out before you go judging other ppl. Yeah I asked for ppl's opinions but honestly read what you wrote, thats gotta be morally wrong..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers Jervi, that was helpful

I guess im no good at doing all those effects so Ill make some simpler sigs :lol: .. Heres my 2nd atempt..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The picture was posted on another forum to be coloured, its by a guy called andrew diec I think.. drew the smaller one in flash, took about an hour to do. nothing too fancy..

Okay, I'll rephrase:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the future, don't make:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Sigs with rubbish quotes. I mean, "I will fight..."... that's pretty much as corny as it gets.

 

 

 

And the three "..." in the end of it makes it even more corny and just generally bad. All that it's missing is a Jean Claude van Damme walking away from a big explosion after preventing a gang of German terrorists from taking over the world, and you'd have me lying on the floor barfing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Sigs that are too dark. Adding darkness to a piece can be a good thing, since it creates a certain atmosphere. Adding darkness just for the sake of it doesn't and is completely pointless. It shouldn't take people ten seconds to figure out "what the hell that red blob is".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Aye. I intentionally disregarded the fact that you'd written "compared to me", just to show my deprecation towards "Mary Popp". Because he's a big dunce.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Im sorry I made you cry about it.. :lol: just a mistake)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- This isn't a Counter-Strike server, terley. Resorting to "omg wat r u crieing abut u gae cemper???" insults simply doesn't have any effect on me, whatsoever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Azvareth I dont even know who you are.. if I knew you, what you wrote would be ok but honestly mate sort yourself out before you go judging other ppl.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What the hell.

 

 

 

Let me see if I got this straight, if I knew you, what I said would be totally OK. But since I don't, I'm morally incorrect; a total madman and need to sort myself out. Right. Gotcha'!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jesus christ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

// Azvi.

heheh.... , your really into this aren't ya....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I bet you've had a go at every game out there cus I know I haven't, ive never even played counterstrike.. im just making pictures to improve myself for the better.. About that little rant of yours about me not knowing you, what I mean is if I did know you I wouldnt be so offended cus i'd know you only half ment it.. Yeah it's gotta be morally wrong to try and rip the piss out of someone for just making a small picture on a website?? who the hell do you think you are you sarcastic twit?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's true I don't have a clue who you are, and I dont even care mate.. From what I've heard your good, don't be another talented sacastic pc geek, there's too many already.. Mary Might know ya..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Mary here" (Az.. ive been sig making since 2001.. i remember you from years ago.. wth has happened to you?... Give my brother a break eh?.. hes just trying to make sigs.. ur prolly still angry at me becuz i made that shop wen u made urs lol... just ask Titta if u dont remember me....)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, please stop spamming about nothing.. If you've not got anything better to do just stop, we're acting like children.. Yeah 'I will fight' is cheesy, but to be honest I was messing around with the program.. Not being serious, its not like im gonna sell that crap sig is it... Be positive in the future mate..

Im working on a new sig, to please you...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and congrats on 1000 posts :D

azvy instead of being part of the problem, why not try to help the cause, now simmadownaw children, your second one is much better than the first.

I told you what I thought of it (even if I did put it in an arrogant way). And if you can't handle that, here's a tip: don't make these kind of threads, or simply ignore those kind of replies. Don't take things so seriously.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have now lost the point of this argument completely, so in order to end this, I'll just apologize if I did anything wrong, and do what I do best, [bleep]ing off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

;P

ok... wutever man..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

well heres a new sig..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have I got any better? tell me pls.

3rd ever non pixel sig, what do you think?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3rd ever non pixel sig, what do you think?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's a lil too dark.

2nd one looks nice, but not really abstract.

 

 

 

3rd is pretty good too, is that brushing cloud cause i think you over brushed it with the rendered pic. and also add a border.

 

 

 

4th is too dark, if you want to lighten a certain part of the image, try this:

 

 

 

*use the lasso tool

 

 

 

*set the feather to 15 px

 

 

 

*trace around the dark part of the image

 

 

 

*click on Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness\Contrast...

 

 

 

*then fiddle around with it to lighten that part of the image

 

 

 

:mrgreen:

;P.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's my face. ;(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

;P

the second one is okay, you need to learn how to blend images better :D
