Ouchy Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think it is a good signature, but it needs more colour contrast, then just a fiery yellow, and less intensity too.

Mylez Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Agreed with Ouchy, it's very good & very yellow :D Try to add a bit more detail, and variety ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 bland. Just different variations of yellow. If want a sig to look nice maximise your use of colours. 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThruItAll Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think it is a good signature, but it needs more colour contrast, then just a fiery yellow, and less intensity too. You guys must be joking about contrast. Just look at it. It's over contrasted. Your white to black balance isnt very good, you use a far too intense white, without any lighting. Text contrast, quite brutally sucks. Use a clipping mask to aid this. It is also blurry. It looks like you've used displace in this, if you use it, please clean it, if used right, it can give a nice look. (Check VjuliusT's signatures.) But you are using it wrong. This puts the sig wayy down. Color variation is bad here. Too monotone. Centered focal = no. Never use gradient map for color. I use them for contrast, never colour using this. For your lighting, use a soft brush, but as you are overcontrasted, I'd start this from scratch, when I get the damn trojan off my other computer, send me the .psd and I'll examine it. You told me to point out all the bad things, so I'll point out solutions. Contrast = Start over with just the render. Text = Use a clipping mask. (Julius should help you/LB could too.) I use gimp but I think it is image apply and some crap. Lighting = Use a soft brush instead of contrast. Noise = Topaz it. Colour = see contrast. Centered focal = see contrast, move along. danke Schon Sam!^^"Blood runs thicker, oh were thick as thieves you know"-Carl Barât Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laxaria Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 The render (is it?) blends in too much with the rest of the background. It doesn't stand out and it is easily mistaken for being part of the background without careful looking at a quick glance. There is a lack of depth and lighting and not really much of a "break out of the middle" sort of feel. The colors are too monotone and blend too well. The render should stand out a bit more (make it red?) or the background should be less intensive. deviantArt | A book without a cover | My poems | My SigsI'm an artist of words.

Jopie211 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Thru said it all. Your brushing is messy too, probably due to the contrast, but I'd try to stay away from brushing the entire background, even though it's not a bad way to start. pixel avvy by me deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesafree Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 basic rule of life everything you do will be liked by some people and everything you do will be disliked by some people i'll try to do some of those things thru said on my next one ... and i didn't brush the entire background (and i personally liked centered focal points) EDIT: made a new sig, it is a completely different style, but i am pretty proud of it! what do you think of it? made it in GIMP :P like i do all my images http://forums.thegamehomepage.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouchy Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Eh, you new image is alright, but it is too simple, and I don't know how much of it is your own work... (Looks like you slapped on a render of a ship, added a picture of Earth, added a sun, and put little white dots on it :? ) My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity.

beesafree Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 actually their is only 1 render in there: the ship i made the "Earth" from scratch (if you look closely at the planet, it's pattern is nothing like earth's (excluding colors)) along with the sun behind it i also made the flamse on the back of the ship, and the "Distant Stars" :thumbsup: :thumbsup: (and if the image looks like i used a stock of earth, than i am better than i thought) http://forums.thegamehomepage.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 The earth is way too flat, the flare is really cliche (and way too bright) and the stars are boring. For the planet distort > spherize is your friend. If you are interested in doing space art than I suggest checking out http://alyn.deviantart.com . Great artist and he has some good resources tucked away there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesafree Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 i can't find Spherize in distorts..... i upgraded to 2.6, so they might have moved it.... do you know where it is? http://forums.thegamehomepage.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
