latest sig

[--shadow-of-death--]

i got challenged in an admin fight for animation sigs by another admin on my forum (button in sig).. i made it after an hour of planning and an hour of making.. i had to play around with the timing a bit..

please let me know what you think.. by the way ive been photoshop-ing since May and stopped using tutorials about 5 days ago..



(currently being used as my main sig)

wow that is quite a large file. Overall i think its pretty average. Not amazing, yet not bad by any means. I think it is a bit simplistic, and an easy animation. However for not using a tut and starting in may, i don't think its bad at all. Exspecially if its one of your first animations.

Well... the animation is kinda slow paced and boring. Its too clear that it fades from one image to another, and then another ... etc..
Try to make the animation flow alot more. and the changing colours is kinda eh... useless, its not interesting, and adds a whole lot of weight to the image.

i personally hate animation so i cant really comment on that part

otherwise it just seems like a flat brushed background with a render(not blended) and text on top

sry man

well its easily not my first animation but i just wanted something simple.. i just wanted something that would catch the eye for voting.. the forum i posted it on only has about two people who can make really good graphics.. the rest are about my standard.. yes i wanted slow.. people there seem to think the colour things good.. the render isnt supposed to blend its supposed to be closer.. i like the perspectives though..

Dude nice try but keep reading tutorials. No matter how good you are there would always be a tutorial usefull for you. The sig is only some clicks of brushes you think look cool, text is very bad. No effects at all on the sig, no blending, no flow. Keep practicing with tuts. Animation is useless although you say you have to use it

True. Use tutorials to learn the techniques, not specific pieces of art (because it'd be a rip if you just followed a tutorial and called the result your own work). Then apply those techniques to make something original. Once you're experienced enough come up with your own techniques.

About the sig, xander60 summarizes my opinion on the sig. I avoid animation altogether, but if there is going to be animation it should be subtle and it shouldn't be relied on (as usual there'd be exceptions, but it's a good rule of thumb).
