Aprz Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I spent nearly 6 hours on MicroSoft Paint drawing this. No layers = Pain. It did not come out as great as I liked it to be, but I tried a lot of new things out and I wanted to see how good it would turn out. I added a border similar to *Name Removed*, he told me how he made water his style, I also tried making it so I would use no outlines to be a bit more realistic, and of course MicroSoft Paint is something I do not use commonly so that is sort of new (though I have made like two or three signatures from it before that didn't turn out bad). I will explain the signature even though the signature is really suppose to tell you everything, but I am not a good artist lol. The island behind is Crandor because you can see Crandor from Draynor Village. There is a willow tree behind what is suppose to be my character right now (I wear saradom kite, saradom platebody, saradom platelegs, rune hatchet, mime boots, mime gloves, mime mask, jester scarf, and a black cape). The red thing on Crandor is a lesser demon which is what you will see on that side of Crandor. There are some gulls around in the distance, I made them sort of look like they are arround the lesser demon looking for scraps, but they are to big. Of course I am standing on top of grass and near the grass is water. In the middle of the signature is a ship heading to Crandor (Dragon Slayer) and then of course I wanted a clear blue sky. I decided that at my angle, you can not see Port Sarim. Hm.. I think that is everything. I really thought this out lol. Hm, I think I made the mask to gray and scary, the hatcet looks odd, my hands are to small, the gulls are to big, and there is no parts of the willow tree in front of my character. Those are the mistakes I see whithin the signature right now. Rate me between 1-10, 1 being the absolute worst signature you have ever seen that it makes you go blind or 10 being the best you have ever seen. I just realized, I forgot the jester scarf and black cape. I'll add those later I guess. :( Please make some suggestion and/or leave behind comments. =p Thank-you. ~Aprzepioski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvillexvalox Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Not bad... I like those kinds of borders. Practice more realistic shading on the guy because to shading was dark on the edge and light in the middle throughout his whole armor -.- The water doesn't fit well into this though (to me it looks like it belongs in an isometric pixel) but atleast it was done well : . Island,grass,sky and the boat were done really well :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navyplaya Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 i think the big thing is that there is no buffer between the grass and the water.. just drops straight off into the water, and it looks kinda weird water looks like its stacked on grass rather then being behind it -All sigs by me.[My Gallery] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toad Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 looks like you spent 2 hours copy and pasting a wave of the sea over and over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
born2die Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 :P at first i tought the see was a huge field of rune spear heads lol the island is pretty nice buy i don't think the lesser is realy in place. the collors on the tree seem somehow to mooth its made of plastic. i like your grass and sky is pretty nice to but the sky is not dark at the bottom but at top. why does everybody makes that mistake :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprz Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Hm, what should I do about the water? It didn't take me long to make, I did copy and past on cube and then change the size (a friend did that and his turned out nice). I messed up a lot on this signature lol. I gave it a go though and that's cool. I always thought the bottom of the sky was darker then the top? I got that mixed up? Later. ~Aprzepioski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
born2die Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 mmm yes try to look at the some refrence pictures of the sea and try to make it look as much as posible lik it with highlights and so on... and yes the sky is darker on top just look at some google pictures of the sky lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazy_cat Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Your colour choices are very bright but that's just me prefering saturated and dark colours. :XD: Anyways, you should try making the mime mask white with a shade of grey instead of it being completely grey. And his hands are abit tiny and squashed. ...no buffer between the grass and the water.. just drops straight off into the water, and it looks kinda weird water looks like its stacked on grass rather then being behind it Agreed. Also, try making a variety of different shape, size, and shade of grasses and waves to get rid of the repetitive patterns. But more importantly, the grass style of shading is very gradient thus, giving it a rounded look. .: Gallery :. Away :( -cheers all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
