July 6, 200620 yr Ok, I tried a new style... Rate, CC, Tips, Hints, Links, Examples, honest opinions. Update: I know text is no good in this - haven't changed it - forgot about it. =\
July 6, 200620 yr I think the style is good, but the way you used it isn't if that makes sense. The style doesn't work in that format/context (what ever it is) for me. I'd make the barrier thing less transparent, I would probably even make it solid.
July 6, 200620 yr Good stuff, but i dont realy like the style. also i thinks its a little unbalanced in the Left Hand Corner (a little too light/bright) Joined Runescape: 23/01/02 |||.

July 6, 200620 yr Author Well... 1) It's supposed to be bright... That's the style... 2)Context? What?? How do you get context in an image? Ok you really made no sense to me there whatsoever. 3) The border is supposed to be translucent... It'd look pretty terrible if it wasn't. 4) The left isn't bright at all.. I'm guessing you mean right... In which case, see #1. Sorry guys but what you just posted didn't help me at all... Hoping to see some better critics. >_<

A question to clear things up for me :D: 1) what is this new style of yours? is it the space look? or that barrier thing? -> I'm not too familiar with your 'normal' style. :| by the context remark, I mean that the space theme doesn't go well with the barrier and visa versa. that's why I proposed changing the barrier. (as I said not an expert =P~ ) as for the brightness: If it's what you were going for fair enough. But it does seem a bit too bright atleast on this comp (work comp). I'll have a better look at home.

The new style is the whole sig... Barrier? Space? What are you talking about!? :lol:
July 6, 200620 yr aah ok 8-) :oops: Well what I said still stands, I don't think the barrier and space theme go well together.
July 6, 200620 yr the upper line and the left line (horizontal and vertical) need to be stroked, just like the other two lines. (I dont know if that has to do with bevel and emboss, but you can also lower the opacy by stroking them.) [http://woopidoo2.deviantart.com][Tip.it Moderator from Dec 10, 2006 to 03 Sep, 2008]

July 6, 200620 yr I LOVE IT! :D Thanks To: Everyone for the siggies, especially Kal for the Pixel.Currently Playing: FIFA 07, NFS: Carbon, Morrowind and Dungeon Siege II.
July 6, 200620 yr it looks nice. it's a new style for you but noone else. get rid of a tech border on an abstract sig with no render. change text. -o-
July 6, 200620 yr Author it looks nice. it's a new style for you but noone else. get rid of a tech border on an abstract sig with no render. change text. Yes, it's been done before... Another one of my abstract sigs with tech borders: It looks too plain without a big border. No render? What's wrong with that? If you can find a fitting render go ahead. Change the text? Wow. That's so helpful. Thanks for describing how it doesn't look right.
July 6, 200620 yr i like the glossy look of the border but your name seems hidden, also there isnt really a focal point anywhere making it generally less interesting. Then again, nice brushing. axeraider70.deviantART.com
July 6, 200620 yr Ok, I tried a new style... Rate, CC, Tips, Hints, Links, Examples, honest opinions. It's just brushes man...try something different. :P Also, that border is over-used. ;)
July 6, 200620 yr To be brutally honest? I dont like it. I dont like tech borders really. I do however think it would look better if the border faded in better. As in, at the edges be at 100% opacity but at the inside edge but at 20~30%. The text font is fine, just maybe the opacity is a little under what it could be. I prefer my name text to stand out immediately. If someone were to see my sig, they immediatly see whos it is. Maybe thats what you like, I dont know ;P. Possibly more contrast or saturation. I don't know. :P If I get a signature like that I usually increase contrast and saturation more. Make points of interest (parts of intregal brushing) stand out, MAKE people see it. Dont let good brushing go un-noticed. And, Liquid Morph: Do you even know what you are talking about? Most signatures are just "all brushes". Brushes are a lot more... well, professional looking. Just having a filter-piled signature looks (usually) bad and amateurish.

Just having a filter-piled signature looks (usually) bad and amateurish. Well no sh*t Sherlock. I know they do, but I meant, all his sig was, was just a Brushed sig with a Tech Border. That's it. There's no render, no more actual effort to make the Brush something more, than just a Brush. So, shut up?

I really think you need to calm down. axeraider70.deviantART.com
July 6, 200620 yr A sig does not need "renders" to be good, actually its better without a render. if it looks good without a render then more cookies for you.

July 6, 200620 yr agreed i never used to use renders when i started here - i was totally agaisnt them, coz i considered it stealing ppls work, but it livens up the sig in a lot of cases. ps. i getm y from planetrenders where ive registered and r liable to take them >)_(< My photobucket
