My New Sigs

[Sar4Str1k3]

Well, I made a topic, with alot of flaming, I have taken a break from rs for like 3 days to get better at sigs.

 

 

 

I hope i've made some improvement.

These are quite good, especially the backgrounds :thumbup: . Try and work on blending a bit more. Text seems good too. On ther first one, you should erase, the C4D/vector shape away as it is quite distracting imo.

 

 

 

You've got alot better :thumbup:

#1: looks alright, but I agree you need to erase the white brushing off her face. Other than that, the background's colour scheme is pretty boring with just the blue and white, the left side is better though. The font you used for the text is ok, but the colour doesn't really fit and placement in corners in usually not a good idea.

 

 

 

#2: A step back from the first one I'd say. No real blending and hardly any colours from the render in the background, which is quite boring. Text is too distracting IMO.

 

 

 

#3: Looks fairly good, the colours seem a bit washed out though. The background/text is better, but get rid of the scanlines.

 

 

 

Some improvement, keep practising and looking at tutorials.

#1 Is my latest and best imo, I tried to get the white bit off her face but it didn't work and I didn't want to get rid of everything else just to delete it.

 

 

 

#2 Is very plain and just a quick one made for a friend.

 

 

 

#3 is the first one I made after getting better than I was.

Are you making excuses just because they didn't like them as much as you?

 

 

 

C/C:

 

 

 

#1 Text is horrible, there are too many brushes and they don't create any flow. Brushing over focal point's face? :? Blue and white is a bit boring but it doesn't look toobad.

 

 

 

#2 Meh.. Horrible text and pretty bad effects. Those brushes look bad as well as the smudging behind the focal. And I don't like that stuff on the left side near the text. Your worst.

 

 

 

#3 One of your best, if not the best. I'd get rid of the scanlines because that is really killing the focal point. I also would have resized the focal because it takes up around 60% of the signature leaving you not much room for effects. Text is a SLIGHT and very slight, improvement. Needs to be smaller though. Other than that it isn't too bad.

Well, I made a topic, with alot of flaming, I have taken a break from rs for like 3 days to get better at sigs.

 

 

 

I laugh at your ingnorance *lol*

 

 

 

Improvement is obvious but the brushes on #1 are very distracting

 

#2 Boring and a quickie, no doubt, is better than number one, but not great. The render is way, way to light.

 

#3 IMO yuor worst. Looks like a pic with filters on. Which is a mess.

Theres brush strokes on her face, I dearly hope that's a new layer so you can get rid of it. I like the energy of this one, looks like a mW.Shuya sig almost. But.. the text, too much contrast, the black text instandly draws attention to me.

 

 

 

 

Decent, but LQ.

 

 

 

 

Scanlines ruin it.

1. Nice looking background but the brushes doesn't flow with the focal/render and as mentioned that a couple of them are over her face. The render/focal is a little big for this type of canvas in my opinion as you only see her face and it takes up quite a lot of space. The best one out of these 3 :thumbup:.

 

 

 

1. tips for next time. Try playing around with the canvas size depending of the render/focal is slim/wide etc. because it's not really nice if it's a really large render/focal that gets cut off at the top and bottom a lot but is still big. The blending get's really hard as well. Flow needs to be improved, try to take a look where the render flow, in this case it looks like it flows a bit down/left. Text colour is quite bad, try playing with colour, it helps a lot.

 

 

 

2. Very plain and what I would call horrible if I was honest :|. but it's a step in the right direction about the flow in the signature. The colours doesn't play well and it's a bit too dark and what's up with those white lines? REnder size and placement is quite good though.

 

 

 

2. tips for next time. You really need to make background colours that have similar colours, the eye dropped tool is your best friend, the colours on your last one fit quite well because they were pale.

 

 

 

3. Meh not good at all, maple leaf brush on quite high strength, decent scattering barely any angle jitter, scan lines (meh) and some really bad looking lightning :|. The render is way too big here (again).

 

 

 

3. tips for next time. The background isn't smudged well, try using a smaller brush with high scatter & angle jitter while brushing out the layer with you used the maple leaf brush on. Alba is way too big, needs to be resized naow and try to keep her away from the middle a little as it's a lot easier to get in the text if you do. Lightning is just too much, I suggest removing all of it and starting from the beginning, using the layer setting "Soft light" and lower opacity makes it a lot easier.

 

 

 

Cheers.

You hardly gave any C/C and your post gives me no help at all.

Thanks alot for helping me get better.

 

 

 

Number 3 aswell...Just saying that then I didnt know how to resive images, I looked into it and found out after I made that one because I knew it was way too big for that size canvas.

Yes, I used That tutorial, but skipped some steps because I had to leave early.

 

 

 

I can get rid of it, Soon I will redo some of these and come back, hope to see you all soon.

 

 

 

Took off the effects, See which you prefer?

YOU'RE HARDLY IN THE GALLERY AT ALL

 

 

 

I'll be more specific, just for you. Since you're missing the point.

 

 

 

#1 The text is horrible. Yes, horrible. There are too many brushes there which cause the signature to become too "chaotic". There is absolutely no flow at all and no blending. You don't brush over your focal point's face. What more do I have to say about that? I also said that the colour scheme was boring but it didn't look too bad. If you want a rating, fine. 5/10.

 

 

 

#2 The text once again is horrible. The white brushes look awful amidst the rest of the signatures poor "effects". That motion blur or gradient doesn't suit it. Those scanlines or whatever they are to the left don't match either. The smudging behind the render doesn't look good and is rushed and messy. 3/10

 

 

 

#3 This one's not bad. The text is a small improvement but needs to be smaller. The focal is far too large and needs to be resized as it takes up 60%+ of the signature. The scanlines aren't that bad but you should erase them over the focal. The colour scheme is bland and the smudging isn't that well done, but it isn't that bad. 4/10

 

 

 

So how can you improve? I'll just cover a few points.

 

 

 

Text

 

 

 

You need to work on your text, that remains obvious. Try and place the text in line with your flow. For example, if you have some diagonal flow place the text along there. You can also experiment with different colours and sizes of text. I'll show you an example of one of the rare times where I've actually placed decent text.

 

 

 

[hide=Example I][/hide]

 

 

 

See how the text flows along with one of the C4D's? And it has some of the pink from the signature in the text. That is an example of decent text IMO.

 

 

 

 

 

Colours

 

 

 

You need to work on your colours. How do you colour? You should be using gradient maps and maybe a few photo filters. I'd suggest reading THIS

 

 

 

If that doesn't "help" you, I don't know what will. You also could try reading some more tutorials on DeviantArt
