ForsakenMage Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Zero's helmet's back curve got lopped off a bit. :? Have you tried resizing the image to be very large, then cropping it that way and sizing it back to normal? It helps to make the cropping much cleaner. Also, you may want to adjust the settings of how you saved the image. ;) Still need to work on the font. ;) Maybe don't blur it, and try not to stick the font so close to the edge. Give it some room. :) Other than that, quite nice. :) Sorry if I sounded too harsh. =X Adventurer's Log || YouTube || Facebook || Tip.it Times Work || Wanna Join the Editorial Panel?Maxed Out 01 October 2012 PDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugotpkedmage Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 Ok , im really sorry that i have to say all this . I hate to burst your bubble , but that signature is not that good . 1. The background is too plain . Try using filter->render->clouds and then brushing over that ( provided your using some form of photoshop ) . 2. The image is too big . You cant use that image in any proper forum . 3. you need to blend the renders in ... The guy on the right side of the picture looks cut and paste . Use the various blurs . Try selecting the image then inversing it . Afterwhich add a diffuse glow to it . 4. Your font is too plain . In some sigs it would look quite good but not in yours . Try right clicking on the text layer and choosing blending properties . 5. Join a good GFX site . They most likely would have really good designers you can learn from . Also , there would be a myriad of resources there . Try http://www.climb-x.com for one . Its a great GFX site with ltos of great designers who are willing to help you . This isnt blasting tip.it designers , you guys are good , but not the best . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aldeon Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 make the guy on the right blend better or im sure it will look better if you take him out entirely go to edit or it may be image then image size and select type as pixels and resize to 300x100 or somewhere in there (no more than 300x150) Also your text still isnt good you dont need that curvy signature type text it doesnt look good except in some artwork. Make the name bigger and delete the guy on the right put the text on the right side just below the middle. put the quote in small lettering under it play around with what placement looks best Also try layer styles select the text layer yo wish to work with and click the little black circle thing in the layers pallete to access layer styles and add a 1px black stroke around it. maybe add a low depth bevel too. or an outer glow Also play around with text placements and colors like in the last sig i made for you i had the red and blue backgrounds and the D on the left was blue and the UDEE was white and the S was red. They don't all have to be same color just whatever looks and blends best. And dont always go for plain text or some kinda fire text you learned in a tutorial as plain text with a stoke is usually best. Search for dafonts.com or something like that Also check out good-tutorials.com to practice and learn to use some of the features. I still check that site regulary to learn new stuff and effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudees Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 well its like this... Zero (guy on the left) supposedly died so im making X (guy on the right) look over to the sky where he sees the transperent image of zero, thats what the text over his head says... Then at the bottom its the name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldeon Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 ok i get it well i didnt know that you gotta think about what if people have no clue about megaman (i dont) Also search on google something like photoshop picture cutting tutorial or something liek that cuz you need to learn how to cut out a pic heres my tutorial press q to enter quickmask mode select the paintbucket(right click gradient) select color as black and fill the entire thing (it should now have a red tint) Dont panic its just a method of selection now pic a brush of good size and press shift+] like 6 times Now press shift+[ once or twice And select foreground color to white (press x to swap back and foreground) Now paint with the white brush over your image very carefully and if you need to lower the brush size with [ make sure you don't paint over the background If you make a mistake easily correct it by swithching to black and fix it then switch back Now your background should be covered in red and your image clear Now press q to exit quickmass your background should be selected Press DEL If it deletes the char press ctrl+alt+z to undo and Press ctrl+[cabbage]+i to invert selection then retry DEL (the one that says cabbage got filtered but its the button below caps lock) Voola your picture should be cut out as good as you can paint that image with the brush Notice make sure you be careful and take your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
