On my first one its hard to read the text. I think i did better on this one.
its the Drizzt one

**Nex** · 06-05-2007, 01:18 PM

again man, waay too much wind effect. and when you are making your background try to make it match the same colors in the render.
i prefer your first sig over your second.
4/10
you'll get better tho there are some easy and simple tutorials on this site try following some.

thanks for the compliments everyone. Nex, I used adobe after effects instead of photoshop for that, but since its only a gif animation it looks all speckled and stuff. i need to find a way to create a PNG animation. then you could see how its suposed to look. oh well. at least you guys liked it.

Idk were i would post this so sorry if its not supost to be here. This is my banner for my guild website. Did I do better on this one?

First thing wrong with this is, it isn't a sig, nor is it a avatar. Next, it is overly simplistic in the nature of brush work, and those brush splotches in the middle, make little sense. Also, the color scheme is WAY to monotone, and the renders have bevels (bad) and the render edges do not appear to be blurred. IMO: 2.0/10.0

~~~~~Some Tips~~~~~

Renders: Use Ctrl + T to open the Free-Transform mode when the render is selected. Hold shift and drag one of the corners out to scale the render up. Hit enter when you are finished so fix the resolution of the enlarged image.

Brushes: Try to use a variety of brushes when making background artwork. Also, getting effcient with blending render and brushwork together will be a very big help to you in the future. Take my sig for example, 1 Silver Surfer render, adjusted using Free-Transform, and the rest is pure brushwork.

Colors: Try to use a variety of colors when making any peice of art, but make sure the colors coordinate, rather than clash. Bright colors tend to clash, as does say purple and green, red and teal. Google a color wheel and learn about the colors, their analogues ect.

Just be creative, experiment, check out some tuts, and ask questions. IF you don't know how to do something, or wonder if it can be done, ask us, and we will tell you and/or test it out to see. Keep practicing.

**Bright** · 06-11-2007, 05:25 AM

Can I get a rate on this one:
(The text looks kind of bad I know, suggestions for text are needed)

**Nex** · 06-11-2007, 06:37 AM

damm thats sick, how good are liquified sigs, and yea ur text needs a little work. 9/10
i didn't actually get a rate for mine so could somebody give it a something out of ten?

**Bright** · 06-11-2007, 07:05 AM

Yeah, it's awesome all you can do with just liquify + your imagination, sigs turn out great =P.

10/10 on your sig btw I really like it.

**10 man** · 06-12-2007, 07:17 AM

new one i did. cnc, should i curent?

**Nex** · 06-12-2007, 08:39 AM

10/10 need i say more? but i will. Dan that text is soo rad and the colours looks great together. the only thing that i can see thats slightly bad is in the N u can see the red lines they sort of stand out too much. but it still looks sick. good job!

**FrogMan** · 06-12-2007, 09:52 AM

its nice nex top left hand corner stick out a little to much but great sig altogether 8.5/10 ofcourse text not to great.

**SilverTears** · 06-12-2007, 01:02 PM

Nice signature Dan. I like the text but then I don't like it. It's still a nice signature, good job. 9/10
