Hi everyone, Smiling Demon suggested I come over here for a little CnC on my newest sig. If you have no idea who I am that's because I'm new to the forums and new to photoshop, a few of the other things I've made are in my introduction thread. I welcome any input or tips from anyone, thanks.

its not bad. the 3 tips i have are:
1. Work on making a focal, at the moment the sig is a bit over everywhere, and while this is fine in its own way it makes it harder for the eye to focus.
2. Colouring, this is very monotone. In future pieces try to work in more colours, but dont go over the top and work in colours which dont fit with each other.
3. Text, text can be hard to get right, i've got a tut on it in the tut section if you want, and often if can be better just to leave it out.
Hope those pointers helped :D

Thanks for the tips. I know I didn't have much of a focal point on this one but when every I try to use one like a render it seems to be just slapped on there. Same with the text, I'll go look at your tut now. And as for the color, yes I agree, that just happened to be what I was going for in this case, I'll try something more colorful this time.

Yeah that's what I've been doing, I gotta try and find more tuts for beginners.
you've created a focal much better in this one. nicely done. whats needed is the focal to be slightly more interesting. but meh, your only begining so the only real answer is tuts and practice... and hell i still read tuts XD

No problem SD I think I know the context you mean.
Also I would love opinions on this:
I know it's not great it's my first try I'm just looking for tips and opinions. Thanks guys
i can see the sig dw. its not bad, the text needs to go and the bgs a lil flat, but its a nice idea, and its good to see you trying differnt things, all i can really say is practice still lol.

Thanks Smiler, btw, I really like the effect on your second sig there, how the light hits his face from behind, very nice.

Now this one I really like, it's actually gonna be my new sig for this site, I'd love any CnC on this one. It's an old picture of Sid from Slipknot.
defiantly one of your best. the colouring is pretty cool, i just feel the lighting is really strange.

It is, it may not fit peoples personal taste but that's how I wanted it, strange fits my theme, from a lot of peoples point of view the band is strange, so I guess I'm glad you feel that way cause it means the feel I was trying to get out of it worked :)
