What should I do from here?

Ok, was quite good brushing practice. Anyways, here it is.

I think I did quite good brushing/smudging on the part that seems to be radiating off the tomato. The upper left is to fuzzy and to much of blur. How should I fix this? (*Is hoping Cad --The smudging master-- will answer this one*)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, what font is that little white one people often stroke with black that is normaly a subquote/quote?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Now that I look at it, on the left side... eww. How do I get rid of that low quality feel?

Bleh, once I get off my lazy bum and go to Imageshack, there will be a picture here.

(Im not sure if you needed my oppinion...)

 

 

 

Personally I dont like the right part, I think it would look better without transparancy.

That font is called the 'Visitor Font' (I have visitor TT2 BRK) and can be

Maybe save it as JPEG or JPG, maybe that helps.

Use the sharpen tool to get rid of the bluriness, or just erase that part and do it again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall I'd say it's a bit too simple, maybe add some more detail to the background or make the tomato into some crazy manip.

Suprisingly I think its one of my best yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And seeing that I am not very good, thats saying something. :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any ideas of what I should do with the text? Doesn't look very good. :?

For the tomato sig, what's that random pink splotch just a bit above the text? Also, if the smudge around the tomato's outter layer is radiating like you said, you should try blending that more with the tomato render.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the sig you just posted above, text-wise. I'd recommend using simple fonts, then duplcating the text layer, place them a bit out of line of the original text layer then lower the opacity and maybe even change the blending option to overlay, screen or lighten (varys on the sig, personal preference).

Thanks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Heres the newer version.

It's kinda hard to read, try lowering the opacity on the text layer behind it or positioning it more closely, also, try this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Layer -> Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian Blur -> 2px -> Set Layer to 'Lighten' -> Opacity to 50%

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New Layer -> Filter -> Sharpen -> Sharpen -> Set Layer to 'Lighten' -> Opacity to 70%

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kinda makes it look more vibrant (imo), try a more simple font too by the way.

Ok, did that. Didn't come out with the effect I think you meant though.

The text should be placed a liiitle bit more to the left.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You inspire me to make fruit manips :)

Heh, thanks for the tip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought you quit minaping. :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: Got a font I liked and used the technique LM mentioned. And tada, I now have a new sig. Vibrant, just like I wanted.
