August 9, 200817 yr This was my first sprite sig that I've ever made. Made using GIMP 2.0 Made Another with some of the comments in mind GIMP 2.4.6 Used :thumbsup:
August 9, 200817 yr Gimp 2.0? That is seriously outdated. First thing is I think you should consider getting the gimp 2.4, it's free as always and has more improvements than the change in version number implies.
August 9, 200817 yr Take dsavi's advice. The main things you need to work on are the background and text. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM

August 9, 200817 yr Update to 2.45 for bug fixes. Colours are quite good but you have to work on those things little mentioned.
August 9, 200817 yr I really like the area around the sprite. I think the sig is too long though, cut off about an inch on each end. Work on the font as well. Not bad for a first. I've never done a sprite myself. Call me Kat, or Kathy Corkat
August 9, 200817 yr Author Thanks guys! Do you think adding a C4D would improve the background missing-ness?
August 9, 200817 yr It would, but don't just paste it on. Smudging it (With the vine brush at 1 spacing, no jitter) slightly would help I suppose, but I don't know a link to a good technique for that. Gimp 2.0? That is seriously outdated. First thing is I think you should consider getting the gimp 2.4, it's free as always and has more improvements than the change in version number implies. GIMP 2.45 is out too. 2.46 is out :P (With fixes in PSD layer mask support :) ) Yeah, I know what you mean by that now though. My icon says the same thing. So yeah, you're fine.
August 9, 200817 yr Adding a C4D or two is normally a good idea. Put it in the layers under the sprite. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM
August 9, 200817 yr Put them on top. this adds foreground fx. danke Schon Sam!^^"Blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves you know"-Carl Barât
August 9, 200817 yr New one is worse to be honest, Too many colours and as Little say it feels burnt/over contrasted on the right side. two different flows kind of which makes the signature uneven. Black line dividing the signature up the render & background. Effects are also somewhat boring and doesn't really go well together. Not good to be honest :(.
August 10, 200817 yr The first one is alright, but get rid of the black stroke with the text on it. The background is pretty boring here too. Background is better on the second one, I don't really like the overcontrasted feel of it either though. The text placement and font aren't great, try not to place text in corners. pixel avvy by me deviantART
August 10, 200817 yr Author Thanks for letting me know Jopie, look at my other thread though, I made a different sprite, I think it's better
