Doombringer

The title of this sig has nothing to do with any game or where the stock is from ,i didn't know where the stock came from, so i made up a name. I decided to strain myself by attempting to make a double focal (I think thats what this is) and doing a different theme from wat i normally do (things incorperating stars), and I am very pleased with the result and i think it is my best sig ever:

Your completely wrong, its still a signature...
Its just nothing special at all...

No our right, it's nothing speacial...yet, I am turning it into a smudge sig

Ok, sorry for any inconvenince that caused, i'm kinda ashamed at myself for that :( So i've made it into a smudge sig:

As far as the colours go i actually prefer the lighter tones in the first version.

Yeah, but the light source wouldn't have worked very well

yeh the 2nd one is much better

When i look at the stock i think you blurred the background to much. You want to Blur the farthest away thing the most, and leave the things closer to the front sharper. Think of your sig as looking in a window. The things far away, and darker and harder to see. The things in the front of the window looks sharp, clearer, and lighter.

The smudge you did is pretty nice, i see what you were going for. I would suggest some clipping masks, i think they would suit this really well.

Work with the texts blending options. Lower its opacity or change it to overlay or softlight.

Overall its a very clean sig, but you need to keep working on it.

please can someone explain clipping masks?

I already did in your last signature thread (the halo wars thread)

Oh, ok, i'll go check it, thanks

I think there is too much colour burn on the outer rims, I like the glow around the mob render.

100% love using clipping mask and I think this sig would get a bonus if used in it. Battle is chaos and clipping mask would bring that out ^^

It's not a render man, a question, what kind of thing should i put in a clipping mask?

For clipping masks, people usually use splatter brushes and then apply the image and set that to cliiping mask....
Move it around to where it looks good and erase bad parts :)

P.S I am not a man xD
I know it's not a render it's on your stock but seems how you have 2 focal's I didn't use that word either.

Hope this tut helps :)

I tried text on overlay and soft light, but it was unreadable when close to the focal, and when you moved it away from the focal it looked really bad. So i just lowered the opacity

I mainly use an applied image of the sig itself for a clipping mask and move it around and see where it blends best.

I'm not sure on the brushes you've used. Download some splatter brushes and place them by the side of the focal.

Ok

For some reason i prefer it

for the clipping mask. follow the steps:

1. New layer, get a splatter brush, click in your new layer where you want that splatter to be (the color of the brush does not matter)

2. Make another new layer, go to Image>Apply Image. Press Ok when the box comes up.

3. Press Cntr-T and move your Applied image around.

4. Right Click on the layer with the Applied image and go to Create Clipping Masks.

You will see that the areas where you splatter brushed are now filled with the Applied Image. Once youve does this. Go back to the layer where your splatter brush is and erase parts of the Clipping Mask that you dont want.

What do you mean (and i doubt i'll make a tut for this if i can't explain)?

He was using a clipping mask with a, I think chalk bush >.< It just made it appear over sharpened.

Yeah, fully correct
