My latest signature. I had a lot of guidance from Helix with this one; he's helping me get my shit on track. :)

Looks a lot better than your previous signatures. You're making progress with your depth, lighting and colors. text still needs work and I have to teach you how to use the sharpen tool becaues a bit of the background looks like it is a bit dull for where it is in relation to the focal point.Some effects on the right could be cleaned up but overall this is a solid signature.
GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!! -

Thanks, man! Yeah, the sharpen tool is something I'm still getting used to using, as I used to always sharpen things through the filter menu. The tool can be easier sometimes, so I'm using it more and more lately.
Text isn't my strong suit, ha ha! It never really has been, so I do what I can to make it work. I found a couple of text tutorials that I'm going to take a look at so I can start incorporating better text into my designs. :) -

do not want to over use sharpen to get same feel , and might i add u can lower the opacity of it. I usually set paint daubs at 1 and brush size at 1 ,
this can be found in your filters artistic . I also lower the opacity down on the layer panel to like 45 % sometimes 37 . gl u have been improving kiu u 2 -

Manga's Hell Cnc, see you on the other side!
The signature just seems over LQ, I just don't like the c4d or render used, they don't seem to go well together. There is no actual light source, the light is sort of just there. It also does not make sense in terms of it just randomly ends in some areas. The depth is okay, not great but not bad. Signature doesn't seem very proportional (due to the background). Blend is fine. Text is okay in placement but does not blend well with the signature. There is no flow. -
03-08-2011, 08:33 PMMangaOh my fucking .... I am sorry but this is annoying me.Quote:

Edit: Also don't act like an ass, K? K. -
03-08-2011, 08:50 PMxSh4d0w Sh0cKxWell, I'm honestly tired of people acting as if my signatures look like shit. They're far from looking like shit, but I understand that there is room for improvement.Quote:

Work on your depth, lighting, take out both sets of text, not feeling the border (then again never do), kinda messy there so work on your flow. Overall not too bad, work on your quality too, cuz this seems a bit lq man. These comments are only meant to help not discourage in any way shade or form. Keep at it.

03-08-2011, 09:22 PMMangaI'm not going to lie, this forum is REALLY easy going towards CnC and where they class people. On VibrantFX you would be placed in novice beginner.Quote:

Meant beginner solid.
Idk where I got beginner novice from. -
03-08-2011, 09:56 PMTRUeLMI don't think you can class someone who makes signatures for fun/ as a hobby. Also, on a side note, VibrantFX is a joke lol.Quote:

Stay on topic guys, and stop the flaming.
Signatures aren't serious, and we don't class here. -

Anyways, I figure you are already doing this but read tutorials. -

I'd love to see you work more on your effects.
right now the render is just on top of the c4ds. You need some foreground effects to sort of tie the render to the piece rather than it being on top if you know what I mean.
Also seems rather lq but yeah. Guess it's just practice getting used to the whole blurring/sharpening side of things.
Last thing is the text. Not digging the colour and positioning. Dw text is like the biggest b... in GFX haha so I just usually don't add it.
Good to see that you have a great mentor in Helix to guide you through. -
