my sigs

[jinx]

give it a second to load

[Ben]

First One
First thing that hits me is that its quite boring, there is no depth to the sig at all, maybe invert the brushing layer and the background layer, give it a brightness and contrast and make them both high.

Then give ita a1pixel border and make the render a bit smaller and blend it. The idea is good just not how it as been done, just looks asthough its been rushed, the best signatures have had hours of work on them In my case the longer i spend on a piece of art the better it is.

Second One
Its pixel stretch which loses its mark because its so simple even though it does look good, but the first two things that hit me is the fact the render aint blended and the brushing is the same.

To blend it duplicate the layer(CTRL+J) put the layer underneath the render layer and give it a 4gaussian blur, do those seps again but use motion blur with the degrees at 0 and fiddle wit the setting so it looks good, normally approx. 150, then duplicate it, merge and lower the opacity.

Get rid of the brushing layer because it looks as though you used one brush, try some grunge brushes...


If you want any help or details on how to do things im on msn now, bencrook76 AT hotmail.com

k thx ima try to do that to the 2nd one right now.

[jinx]

how about these ones









here zimmer, this better? im going to get more grunge brushes right now i have downloaded about like 40-50 and i dont know which is grunge or not =/ lol

[zimmer92]

please, just please, blend the renders in!!!!!!! the green one is too bright, no actually all of them are. try making sumthin diff. like abstract piece with no playboys in ti, or just use grunge brushes to come up with sumthin nice. also the text stands out too much, put it in the bottom left hand corner, smaller and make it a solid color then lower the opactiy or set it to hard light or sumthin like that.

[Ben]

The second is the best, blend the render with some gaussian and motion blur and it would be your best so far

[zimmer92]

hmmm, i suppose, but it has to have color, those arent grunge i dont think.....have you put a pattern over the sig? dont do that unless its scanlines and they have an opacityof 20-30%. it doesnt look very grungy.... more abstract. also make the render more visible. trust me it will look better then

[Ben]

PlayBoi, try taking out the render in exchange with the text, the BG is quite nice IMO but the render spoils it, change the text and put it where the render is

Its just about trying different things and seeing if it looks better/worse and then developing your own style from that

[jinx]

k i took the render out and i did some more brushing on some of these which ones look best.

[Ben]

i on phone so cant c+c but 2nd one is the best but change the text.
