I agree with Huntress on your sig UFFFan. Though I think it is a world of improvement compared to some of the ones you were doing before.

Also a new one. This was actually supposed to be a Tidus wallpaper, but well....yea it didn't work out.

Excellent work like always. I never cease to be very impressed. ;)

Excellent work like always. I never cease to be very impressed. ;)

Thanks ^_^

I seem to be pumping them out today.
Definetely not my best(neo one) made for a req on another site, bored out of skull.

edit, oops sry for double post

This sig was made by me. about one or so weeks ago...



Comments are welcome.

When did you start making, because it's very nicely blended, however there seems to be some other text under the Lina text. Whether that's just me or it's an underlining of some kind i'm not sure, so could you clarify that for me?

Looks like a copyright from someone's gallery to me. Maybe its a quote, heck if I know.

anyway, the quality of the sig is rather poor, though you saved it as a bigger file. The background looks like a resized picture, and the text is definetely messed up. Change the anti-aliasing to "strong" and then the stroke to outside instead of inside. 6/10, I prefer your current.

Anyways, just curious because of the text in your sig. Are you using File>Save for Web? If not, use it, all it does is let you toggle quality controls while seeing the outcome of the change. doing this you can get about exactly 50Kb on many sigs.

I'll have to try that too... With all my sigs I but the quality on the high setting (JPEG) and it almost never goes over 50KB, normally it's like 47.82KB.

Latest sig, critique please

EDIT:


Couldn't decide whether it was better with or without the writing, up to you

not bad at all UFFF, but the rose could have been blended in some way to better fit the overall colour scheme of the sig
7/10

Yeah I suppose, I just couldnt be bothered, it wasn't a request so I wasn't going to make it brilliant.

Lol.

and



from naruto

Very nice with the vertical sig, although the bass cleff doesn't fit in with the theme. 8/10Could you tell me what brush pack you used for those.

I really like the Naruto one. The coloring matches the render verywell. Did you gaussian blur the render for color? Anyway, i rather like the dog paw in the sig.

Brush pack I used for the background?

When did you start making, because it's very nicely blended, however there seems to be some other text under the Lina text. Whether that's just me or it's an underlining of some kind i'm not sure, so could you clarify that for me?

I started some time in september.

Oh and thats just really tiny text, see? the one with the red around it is the one I used.

Also I use Paint Shop Pro 9 for making sigs and stuff.

Brush pack I used for the background?
ya

and some fun time with imageready.
http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/7074/penguinownage3py.gif

btw, would someone C&C&R the 2 sigs I posted earlier

THAT OWNED SIG IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This didn't come out as well as I expected.


the render took over 2 hrs to extract, it was huge.

yaya, I know there is know border, I forgot to put one on.

Well it took me awhile to figure out exactly what the render was and what she was holding. I rather like the colours, they fit the render well. The brushing is pretty good. 8.5/10

Ok new one. Definetely breaks a few rules here.

This one took me a long time to get it just right... but I did miss up on it a little :'(

http://img419.imageshack.us/img419/3127/cvss20iz.gif

Again comments are welcome.

Yes, more penguin stuff.

http://img430.imageshack.us/img430/5751/tux7wx.gif

I got bored, so I decided to make a Tux the penguin .gif

Well, i havn't posted in here for 6 months. Its good to see FFS again and good to see some old faces.

This is one of my new ones:



And yes, am going to put it up as my sig in due time.

Enjoy

This is my second sig ever so be nice

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b147/Tidus0613/Yuna-Sig.gif

Do you think you could give me some pointers for the next sig I make?

Its not all that bad.

Maybe a bit more blending and better text, but i like the render and background. Keep it up and post some more

Oh, try using the size 350x120. It maybe look better. Have a try

EDIT: OMG. MePhIsTo, you come here too!!!!!

He's been here for awhile i do beleive, I'll rate your sig when I get back. Could you C&C my pegasus sig.

I will do now.

Wow. I like it. Did you make it from the start or did you change somethings on it (am talking about the zzz pegasus). Anomtion (sp) is very nice and suits the picture.

I wouldn't call it a sig, more a website image. Non-the-less its great. Show more ^_^

awesome sig shinryudan

I will do now.

I meant this pegasus.


but thanks anyway on the rating for the penguin. Yes, I made it from scratch.

Great sigs everyone. Shin, that Pegasus one is awesome.

Here's my new one:

Shin, do you mind if I use the wings from your pegasus on another image I'm making?

EDIT: If you still have the .psd, any chance you send it? MSN: [email protected], else upload it, and PM me a link

HSY, nice. I especially like the font, which one is it. Nice border as well, could lose a couple of pixels on the outer glow of the render though. Overall, 9/10

Thanks UFFFan. The font is called Lysandria.

sent it.

Here' another one of mine:

tad bulky for me. I say change the main text to some kind of script. Also, possibly animate the text to come in from different directions at different speeds. Add border. Leave the pyrifly coloured imo, it would draw the eye to the sig better.

New one for a battle on a diff site. I am }SoC{Ryu there.

I haven't got a clue on how to use ImageReady, lol.

That sig is fantastic, 10/10.

well it's been a while, and will continue to be a while, but I had a day off from work so I made a sig... what ya think?

That's hot Azroth.

I just created my updated my sig and avvie today, what thinkst thou

I rather like it. The stroke is a bit much, but it contains all else in the sig. I especially like the texture. 9/10

aztroth. I don't much like the colours used, although I like the brushing. The text isn't that good. 6/10

New one. Master chief.

Im starting to play around with Ulead, so far i have made 3. This one is the only pic of Fett with his helmet off, what do you think?

Not bad, but really it looks like just a photo manip to me, unless you've drawn the image yourself? If so very good!

If you've drawn it 8/10
Else 4/10 as all you've done is replaced whatever the original artist had him saying, with your username and added an effect to the surface layer.

Anyway guys after much debating, I've come to a conclusion. As all I do on the Shrine now is post in here or the Sig Workshop, my post count is'nt rising enough so I have decided to migrate and to make my own art forums. If any sig makers want to join, you don't have to leave the Shrine, but the link is here (http://silenceandmotion.greatboard.com)

So really this is my final farewell, it's been good fun while it lasted, and a special thanks to the following for the help and support they've given me:

Shinryudan
Jasmijn
Huntress Krystle
Eric_g_08
Agent0042
Aztroth
Danoth
Azwethinkweiz
Der Konig
The Guy Watching You (Who helped me improve my sig making skills with all those sigs I made for him :rolleyes:)

So, here's to another prosperous year for the Shrine, no doubt it will continue to grow. Thanks for providing a free service like this Sarah, it's by far the most welcoming community I've ever been a part of, and Odin, thanks for making me laugh on occasions.

Other than that, so long, farewell, auf weidersehn, au revoir, ciao and goodbye!

EDIT: Almost forgot about this. Any work I have outstanding for people in the sig workshop can be taken by any sig maker.

Really wish you were not going, the shrine just be the same without you. By the way, post count doesn't mean a thing.

Oh, I've been thanked here? You're welcome, then!

ok something i made for a comp being held by a band called otep...

CLICK ME!!! ()

ok something i made for a comp being held by a band called otep...

CLICK ME!!! ()

It's a tinch busy and the O looks startling like the O that the band Opeth uses however I like the colors a LOT and it's a fun effect.
Adding a 1 px border may make it look a little more professional ^_^ <3 lovely

My sig is...well it's in my signature...I don't see the point of posting the picture inside the actual post if it's right there anyway

yeah, the O looks alot like the Opeth O. But it's still real purty like :D

opeth... otep... are we possibly thinking of the same band here? and what O are you talking about? the swirly design thingy in the center?

I agree a bit jumbled up.

My first wallpaper. Made for my Halo PC clan called Soldiers of Christ.

o and aztroth you know UFFFan is gone right.

http://www.opeth.com/

http://www.otep.com/

No we're not speaking about the same group. Opeth=far superior :p
but the Opeth 'O' is very...vine filled and swirly, that's why it looks like the Opeth O in your gfx. ^_^ <3

Here is a sig made by one of my new friends and I wanted to see how everyone thought about it

Its nice, though it is just a lot of renders. Try some brushing. The colours don't match and the brightness/darkness levels don't match. 6-7/10

New one.

http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/7348/sandrock6lv.th.gif (http://img182.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sandrock6lv.gif)

Here's one of my new one's:

Oh, that's very nice. I love the coloring.

Thanks.

Here a couple more, these ones I made for AJ=TR and DE at the LCO forums.

(this is my first try at making a sig)
http://hometown.aol.com/DP74656/FF/SIGS/NOT+SENT+SIG.PNG
what do you guys think?

I think it's pretty sweet. Nice idea and caption.

HSY, the first one is rather well done. I like the colouring and the renders. 8/10

The second one I don't like to much. The quote is next to unreadable and is a bit overblended, also change the font. I like the effects on the main text, although the emboss doesn't go over so well. The background is a bit plain as well. 6/10

Knight sig. I am Ryu on another forum.

http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/7854/knightsig8va.gif

I don't have photo shop so might don't really have cool graphics like some other people but there still ok what do you think?

The top Yuna one is absolutely adorable.

i dont have photoshop either, and my program is very limited in what it can do, ie, crap font selection, no decent borders, but you seem to do really well. i agree with agent0042, the yuna one is beautiful :D

Thanks

Actually all this time I thought you did have photoshop. What are you running, GIMP?

i think......its Unlead or something but its an old one not the lastest one i downloaded PS CS2 but it wouldn't open :(

I love the Yuna one.

http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/8237/syzygy8wa.gif

thoughts? it was request, and the guys name is syzygy. and the render was what he supplied

The image is haunting, the background coloring and effect is bright and eye-catching.

well, c&c please? I tried a bit of a different style this time. I've never done a sig in this manner before, so im not sure whether it's good or bad, but ateast it's something.

It looks nice enough, but it's really hard to read.

This is a new one

looks good, especilly how you've merged cloud and sephiroth

this is a sig i've just made for another forum i'm on as the one i use here is apparantly to much of a spoiler, so what do people here think?

I like the second one, the first one is shit
I disagree, the first i think is better than the second one

ditto!....the second one hurts my eyes a bit with it beating

I totally agree. The first one I think is wonderful, the second --- meh-eh.

The first on is definetely the better of the two imo. You need to work a bit on your text though. Try using some different colours and effects to make it a bit easier to read. 8/10 for the first, 6/10 for the second.

New one.

http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/5629/signature11fp.gif

thats a wierd combo... FFVII: AC and Devil May Cry III?

ok... but anyways, the sig looks good... nice to see a change from your usual man. the only thing I would say is that vincents head cuts off too abruptly over the blue bg. make it fade a bit more, like a 3-5 pixel feather or something. but thats all I can see wrong with it right now...

Ya, it was a request.... Any ways, I messed that layer up a bit too much so now I can't edit my render, oops...
Also if you still have it could you send me the link to where the brushes used in your current sig are from. Not the tattoo brush though.

I just made this for desert wolf in another forum what u think?

it's good, but the right side of the av has a bit of uncovered bg.

@ shin I don't remember where I got them, but I could send you the set, if you want.

Whats Bg?

BG=background
FG=Foreground

He means the bit to the right of the dark blue border, its noticable.

Anyway, the ava seems to be a bit underquality. Also the the sig is a bit jumbled. other than that I like the theme and the snow. 6.5/10

Oh right i see it now oops lol

that second sig is damaging to stare at for a while.

Made this one recently...

We have a lot more people on this site that know how to make their own stuff than I thought. O hey Crystal Sword, haven't seen yo for awhile.

Kie-- The colours go well with the render. The brushing and blending is nicely done, although there are a few too many black spots around the text. The background's levels should be raised just a bit in my opinion. Other than that I suggest you lighten the text colour and give it an effect such as a blending mode, also drop the bevel and emboss, it rarely looks good.

I created this a couple minutes ago:

Well, I can't tell if there really is a render in there somewhere, though it looks like an eye on the right side. The quote is rather nice. I'm really not to partial to Grayscale signatures, unless they are simple. Add colour to the bg. Also the border could use some touching up, the shape and designs are nice, but the solid white doesn't work too well. Use the burn and dodge tools to create some depth and then add a texture or gradient to it. That will make it look a bit more "tech like." That, or get rid of the white altogether and save it as a .png with transparency. 6-7/10

New one, made it for a guy on another site.

Guys what about my awesome sig! 10 out of 10 imo.

Where's Trotsky?! :(

I HAVE NO UNCLE TROTSKY ( PARODY)

these two are my latest... the second one was a request, and the first was a gift.

Some recent ones I made:

http://hometown.aol.com/DP74656/FF/SIGS/VIII_IX.JPG
http://hometown.aol.com/DP74656/FF/SIGS/rikku_sig.JPG

and i made these two for another forum in an attempt to convince them that sigs are worth having:
http://hometown.aol.com/DP74656/ST/Sigs/Ship.JPG
http://hometown.aol.com/DP74656/ST/Sigs/8472.JPG
(its a Star trek forum)

Somebodies been busy, eh?

Auron's Ghost

1st-- Just a large jumble of images. Drop the glow from Tidus and clean up all the white stuff around the logo on the left. Make the text a bit more noticable. Keep away from the feather tool, it's not that great. 3/10

2nd-- Again, too many renders for the space provided. Also, don't use the feather tool on the entire outline of your renders, just brush over them a bit to blend them. Add a border and opaque the text a bit. 5/10

3rd-- The border is too big on this one, make it about 2-4px instead. Try out some bushing around the face in the background instead. Again, NO feather tool, it makes the edges look transparent, which is very very bad. 5-6/10

4th-- First of all, you've got more than one ship in the one, I beleive they may all be different models. The background fits the theme and is a good stab at it, but you should find a better tutorial than that. The quote should be a bit smaller and not block out so much of the sig. Also the text for your name needs a single pixel black stroke on it, this will make it easier to read and stick out a bit more. 4/10

5th-- Again with the....well I guess thats not a feather. The two renders in there shouldn't be colliding. Also, the background is way too plain, even just a few small stars of planets would do well in that. Get rid of the texture on the text and add a single pixel black stroke to it. Set the colour of the text to white and the blending mode to something like soft light or overlay. Add a border. Make your text a bit more sharp. 4.5/10


Aztroth

1st-- The colours and the render go together very well. Nice brushing, though it is a bit bright over on the right side of the sig (the border seems to dissapear here as well). The right side of the render is blended in a bit too well and I can determine any edges of the render there. Also tone down the blackness above the render, it doesn't fit the overall bright theme very well. The text is nicely done, and placed, it matches the brushes very well. 7.5/10

2nd-- The second one isn't as good as the first in my opinion. The colours in it are a bit dull. I can't seem to find much wrong with the signature, however it doesn't catch the eye that well at all. 6/10

High Summoner Yuna

1st-- Straight off the bat I got one question, who's morpheanne. Anyways I'm guessing its you on another forum. Alright well the background is pretty nicely done and looks nice and clean, although the lens flare is a tad over bright near the render. For the main render itself, the one with transparency, you need to defringe it. This can be done using a single pixel feather (one of the few things that tool is good for) or by using the defringe tool which is who knows where... Anyway, that's all I can find that needs fixing in that one. 8/10

NOTE-- All things on deviantart.com are copyrighted to their creators and cannot be used in sigs or other edited graphics. Doing so would be breaking the law (a.k.a plagarism). I'm just warning people cause I lately got into some trouble over there for something along those lines.

OMG, I just got owned. Oh well, I do them out of boredom mostly, never having done a tutorial for my software, but thanks for the advice. As for some of the techniques you mentioned, I have no idea what you're talking about, eg feathers (which I believe are the soft edges that I can put on with my software), brushes and blends, I dont have photoshop or anything spectacular like that, but thanks anyway :). I may have learnt something here today...

also, since i guess you're not a ST fan so i wouldnt expect you to know this, the 5th sig's background is supposed to be the context of their natural space, there are no stars or planets in there, so I didnt put any in (or I was at risk of getting torn into by all the eagle eyed people on that board for doing something against the known canon)

EDIT: I just got GIMP so hopefully, I may be able to do some better work :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/GreyMenace/5286ecf2.gif
Best sig ever; you can even ask Alpott.

envy me :P

what is it.

One for a request on another site.

http://img285.imageshack.us/img285/5984/signature0bh.gif

Made this using a tutorial found at http://www.digital-industry.net/forum/inde...?showtopic=3192 (http://www.digital-industry.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=3192)




I couldn't figure out a few of the steps such as cutting selections and such.

Made this one recently i don't mind your thoughts

Made this one recently i don't mind your thoughts

The text on the left is almost impossible to read (but I eventually figured it out), while the text around the rest of the edges is only barely readable, but I can make out. The image and effects are excellent though.

I kinda wanted the text to be barely readable to bring out the images more but at least people could read it.

thanks for your comments

I made this one recentley too.

I like the composition a lot but the text kind of dissappeared with the picture. Maybe a white outline around text?

Err.. here's my version of Kairi avatar/sig. Hope you guys like it. :)





Sorry for double post.

Pretty awesome.

Nice, although the picture of the lightsaber has ad odd reddish outline on it. The clone trooper is a bit too bright for me.

yeah, when i was making the rest of anakin blue-ish (to give a hologram look) the lightsaber turned orange (i tried to fix it:()


btw first thing i've done in agessss

ahh. I wonder how this one looks on this forum. its made for a white background but it is a png.

Guys what about my awesome sig! 10 out of 10 imo.

Lol....Is it a joke? or do you actualy hate prak? ive been away for awhile...need filling in :P

well, my latest:

I thought this one that Kienshin made recently was pretty good, featuring Spawn and Starscream.

What do people think of my new sig...thanks to kienshin

*Some are unused and most are lost when the forums had a major problem and time travel back to January '06..*

Version1 Meant for a white or grayish background.


Version2


I took some pictures of the flowers that are in my garden and worked with them in illustrator and photoshop. Some freehand as well. Which do you like better?

here is the original picture too

()

I like the first one but i can't help but wonder how it'll look like if you put the large 'Ryu' text of the second sig with a bit of alpha transparency and paste it on the background sky of the first sig.

Pretty Excellent.

Yo, i have made 3, they are my first signatures ever

What do you think? :)
The first sig has a nice contrast but it lacks border. The typeface for the second sig totally ruin the composition and is a little too close to the edge.

Made a new one

Heres one that i did on a diffrent program to photoshop (it doesnt have any text effects so...) anyway see what you think.

It's very good!!! I'll give it 8.5. Keep up the good work

heres one i did for someone on another site what do you think of it

It's very good!!! I'll give it 8.5. Keep up the good work
Thanks i didnt think it was as good as some of the ones on here.

Matt yours looks good nice work

First time I touched 'shop in 3 weeks. Added in some styles I learned from the GIMPers at my camp.

Ok i made this some time ago to another guy, which likes it very much.

(http://imageshack.us)

Hmm try adding a border first of all. next the background grunge style is a bit grainy and has the look of parchment. The colours don't really fit that well....they don't have much depth that is. The text is very small and out of the way. The colours of the text also conflict a bit with the background. The multiple renders idea I like a lot, however some of them have been sized down a bit too much such as the far left and right ones. You don't need to show the entire body on it. For the renders try using the extraction or pen tools to get rid of the background instead of just blending it in with brushes. Or find some stock renders on gamerenders or chaosgfx or planetrenders. Overall it is ok, but from some of your other work that I have seen I think you could have done a bit better of a job.

heres one i did yesterday what do you guys think of it

Another one.

I like Matt's and Shinryudan's!

Uh... Hi everyone, I'm a newbie here but is a sigmaker...
I'm quite new to to sigmaking so here's a sig which some of my friends really loved it so I thought I''ll show it here to get other people's opinion...



Thanks

I like both "sigs". What is a sig?

oh um, I refer to signatures as "sigs" or "siggies / siggy"
And avatars as "avvy / avvies"

v1

v2

Wow! That is one awesome sig Ryu!

Would you mind making me one like that!?

something just origenal and sorta plain

Hw 'bout mine? Kinda wondering if other peeps like it, maybe i'll have to make a new one... But i can't help loving Kadaj so much...

Alright, what do you think of mine?

Jill made it. ^__^

Here are some of mine.I just started 3 weeks ago.




I also made my current.

Very nice, do you use photoshop? If you do, it's quite easy to add some more lighting effects. Will make them even more alive!

Hey people. I'm back, and I've got a couple of new sigs. Opinions please - I just learned the effects.





------------------------------------------

Ahh! Sorry about the double post - I thought the computer was being spastic again.

Hey people. I'm back, and I've got a couple of new sigs. Opinions please - I just learned the effects.

Looks very nice, but try adding another dark line on the outer border. (it may be there but can't see it because the dark skin of the board, nevermind me if you have a double border line;) ) Nice work!

Thanks. I don't have a double borderline actually, lol. I never really put them in.

Try it, makes the image much more clear;)

This is a new one

Finally someone has merged them i knew someone was goin to do it sometime but when

*Edit*
No need for a new post, but could someone tell me which sig they like better?
This one, or my current one?

could someone tell me how to improve my sig by borders and that i dont know how to do it. Also tell me how else i can improve it by

U use photoshop? I can tell you if ya do.

U use photoshop? I can tell you if ya do.

Yeah i do it was far to expensive to.

i have photoshop but an order version, 3.0, i cant find the image edit to make sigs.

man that most be really annoying

it is but i think i found the answer......
nice av.

thx

Yeah i do it was far to expensive to.

OK good, make a new layer which you put on top of all other layers.
Use the Magic Wand tool in that layer to select the entire image. Next go to
Edit->Stroke (assuming you have the english version) and select a nice color before doing so. Set the thickness of the line, and if ya want a double layer like me, select the entire new image except for the added rim (Magic Wand again) and continue on. (On 400x150 pics I suggest you use at least 2pix. lines)

I wasn't really sure if anyone would read my Sig, so I posted it in here...

everybody in here has a very awesome sig i must add.


anyway I'll just describe it to you. (Is that what you have to do in this thread?)
1. It just shows how desperate I am to get suggestions for a new user name.
2. I shows my current usernames origin.
3. and I tried to use contrast or something to catch the forum reader's eye.
4. It has some lines pointing to the really important bits..
5. and thats the end of my signature.


Thanks for your time.


btw: did I have to describe my sig or not? because I just wasted One Minute and 34 seconds of my precious time to type that descripton.:smrt:

Sephicloudret

Composed of 3 FF7 names:p

Sephiroth, Cloud, Barret

And I'll let you know if I come up with a serious suggestion, unless you (for some reason ) like the lame suggestion above.

*EDIT*

damz another double post cuz my internet=lame.

Made these two for crimsonX. back in bussiness people.

Did a summer of volunteering at a local cubscouting camp. In other words I was a CIT. I met a lot of GIMP users there and picked up the program and lots of tips.

Freya from Chobits

Looks like a picture that is cropped. Nothing else I see, correct me if I'm wrong.

Some of them are nice but i`d stop parading the confederate flag tbh Jill. Apart from looking tacky as hell it`s not something everbody enjoys being shoved into their face.

Still, the latter of your sigs looks to be getting much better.

I like the Under world sig and the aeris sig they look sweet.

Well she's been banned so... NO MORE CONFEDERATE FLAG! YAY!

Hey Razorbunny.

I've never had a sig, ever.

I've never had a sig, ever.

EL, i wouldn`t mind making you one.

Drop me a PM sometime.

This is what happens when I get ahold of a funny picture of a buddy. It's a guy from camp staff. I got the pic through another person on aim.




here is the stock.

added this too.




adding these as I go along..... not many replies, o well


vert sig


made a wallpaper.


This is becoming a regular old portfolio of my stuff.

check out my sig
here ()

Renders are squished down. Background is plain, text is plain. Its good for a first try, but try to retain the proportions of the renders.

I made a couple of more.

can you edit it to make it better thx
this is the link again

I'd need the original files.
Also Jill,

most of the things are just cropped images with text on them. Other's are just a cut out with a stock behind it and text on it. Work on the text too. Did you make http://browneyedgirl.homestead.com/JillsSignature3.JPG this because from the work you are showing us I don't know.

I love that "Just Data" siggy!

And more. These with some 3dsm and c4d renders I made.




an avatar too.


nother spatter sig
http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h177/Shinryudan/megaman-splatter.gif

I made these today.. i literally started making my fist sig about 4 hours ago.. these are my best ones,



and



this one was made for a friend on another forum.

and finally, for my emo friend



what you all think?

Sorry for the double post

I can't make signatures.So I get them off line.I don't have a program to make them.Unfortunately.I would love to make them though.Sounds fun.

Ya...I pretty much stopped the Confederate Battle Flags and showing my face. I made one more with the Stars & Bars. One thing about signatures..you can alter them. I had two designs of the same one.

the confederates suck! boooo

whee showing off siggy >_<

the confederates suck! boooo

which brings us to your sig...

Don't emboss a render, try to blend the background. Also get rid of the opacity on the title and just put 3 layers of it on softlight.

C&C welcome, hey!

For YunaChick15:

Random shitaki; feel free to use them if you like. You'll notice that some of them already have been labeled "Ninetales" (my screenname...). I've already flattened them, so I won't be able to change them anymore.

the confederates suck! boooo Yes, didn't you learn anything from Star Wars jill NEVER break away from the empire.

But the Empire lost in Star Wars...

Yeah but not before a lot of bloodshed.

They still lost. :rolleyes:

They still lost. :rolleyes:

Thats because they had Luke Skywalker and Jill sure as hell is no Luke Skywalker. Also the rebel's weren't red neck inbreds.

Okay, now I simply cannot let that slide. You obviously do not know the history of the war, so yammering about it is simply making you look idiotic to those of us who do know what the hell we're talking about.

But what do you think of the sig I have now, and of these creations?

Keep in mind I haven't made sigs in over two years, please. :P

BUT BE HARSH! (not really. :()






(This one i rather dislike. It was my first go in a while.)

I had many others (from other games and the like) on my other computer... makes me sick that they're all gone now. :(

Well people always have to start somewhere so I don't think you've done a too bad job, but I would recommend checking out some tutorials ;p

And back on the topic.


No brushes, just filters and layer adjustments.



more smudge

Thanks... A tutorial actually helped and made me learn a few things. :)

Rinoa: they're a nice try. Just my personal thoughts:
Would you consider signature to be artwork? Or maybe at least, some sort of image that holds a subject? I think perhaps focusing on "What is the subject of my piece" before jumping into filters and effects. You want the subject to stand out the most - the filters and the effects are to enhance the character to make the image even more striking, or to add a mood. In pertaining to the actual signatures: perhaps you may want to make the characters bolder, because the font is what my eye is drawn to. Maybe use the font to amplify the effect of the image, rather than making it the subject, hey?

Perhaps that wasn't your intention, but it was just my thought.

I used to hold to quite the same ideas when I started out. however after a while I kinda grew to a point where while I was making something I would let my mind wander and walk. Thus abstract became my favorite.

Well, good abstract art/art manipulation would still have a subject or a dominant mood. It would be uninteresting if it didn't.

For Sakura:

Yeah, I never thought about it like that... I'll give it some more tries, after all, I just like to do it for fun, and that's what it's about, right? Learning and trying harder each time. :)

Damn: I spent ages on that - yes that's how crap I am. The Background was suppose to be transparent but I dont know what happened there. Comments on my style please. Just ignore the mistakes and talk about my style and what i should change or try. And can anyone reccommend me a tutorial. I use Paint Shop Pro 5.

Pretty much I actually had a theme in mind for once. After a bit of brushing and smudging I decided to make it look as though the master chief was "escaping" the inferno or explosion.



Making a couple of these for now. Competition on another site, developing skills for the final one.

which is best and cnc.

I'm new to sig making so please go easy.
How could I improve this one and where can I find some good text to go with it.
[IMG]

Well you should make the text yourself with the "T" tool. Hmm... Maybe try to take up more space than you have right now. Either make the render larger or crop the sig. Also try a border maybe? I don't know what type, just go with a 1px stroke for now.

I mean style.

I can't tell you your style, you gotta get that on your own. If I make a robotic copy of myself, what is the real me worth exactly, get the point?

Woohoo, 8 bit power. Made with the pencil tool while I gazed upon a 16 bit version of the little guys, from the Four Swords Adventures. Only thing I didn't make was the font.

Meh, made it when I was bored.

go oblivion

Haryuu, those signatures are awsome. i have a sig that'll be up soon :) I really like yours too banger

One more, first in months.

well im just going to show the one in my present sig for the moment

Nice work Shin, good to see you again. I should have some up soon I hope.

EDIT: Just finished one for myself. CnC people please.

And nice to see you again too jimi, been awhile.

Thanks Shin, but lets stay on topic. CnC on my work anyone?

A bit big for my tastes. Also, the background is a bit basic, just colours and clouds if I see correctly. The render doesn't really strike you that much so the focal point is hidden. Try bringing the render above all the other layers and just making a duplicate of it and smudging a bit to blend it in.

Actually, the bg has no clouds at all :/ it's some double layer brushing. The render is on top of the other layers. May try the duplicate/smudge technique though.

i can see where shinryudan is coming from, it does look like clouds.
the sig looks a bit bare on the top right.
(smudge i might try that)

3 more, the last one is a website banner.

i like them all, seen that background (first) alot off u tho ;)

That's cuz hyperwiring is my specialty :P

I like both of these. Very well done Shin.

Played around with an image of the James Bond watch. Found here ()

i'm not that good, so if anyone has any suggestions,tips, hints or just comments please do post

i like ryus
magic slap, just blending in the renders mabey, i just use the blurs then change the blending settings, but keep an origional render copied incase u mess it up :)

Magic Slap
1st-
Try to get rid of the scan lines that are appearing above the border, just delete them to make the border more prominent. Also try lowering the overall opacity of the scanlines so that they are not so overbearing but still prominent. Take the render, duplicate it, blur or smudge the bottom one and then smudge just the outer edges of the top one to blend it. Try putting a stroke on your text to make it more visible. Also try to get something over those wings, or write your text on an angle inside the wings so that they are not the focal point.

2nd-
Add a border first of all, just a 1px black inside stroke is all. Second, sharpen up the text. The outer glow on this one, if you use it, shouldn't be white or black since that is what the background predominantly is. Make it some colour from your render, one that is lighter but still coloured. Try to get rid of that blueish hue on the renders and replace it with some motion blur, or duplicate the render, put a gaussian blur of 3 on the top one and then put that on soft light. Make a new layer and go to Image>Apply Image>Merged, then go to filter sharpen. Other than that maybe try out the curves or levels functions on it.

whoa, I'll get back to you on those Az, nice to see you though.
Made for a white background if it isn't already completely obvious. Just text and blending modes. Odd hunh.

pretty freaky if you ask me

I decided that my work isn't getting anywhere just sitting in my Photobucket and since improving my skills I've deleted quite a few but I'll continue to post icon/signiture collections. Starting from my earliest garbage when I first joined and actually cared about Final Fantasy. Dial up beware, this is quite the massive file collection.

Signitures
(I've marked my favorites )

Then this is Xander's by me:


Myspace Junk
I do also make alot of the personal content for my Myspace that I figured I would share, though theres a very minimal amount.


I made this for Julie's Myspace (KOS-MOS in #ffshrine)



I also deleted my entire icon collection so I'll post the few that I still have. Also, Final Fantasy is probably one of the most flexible bases you can work with for icons, IMO. The ideas for icons and relations you can make are endless... not mention awesome screenshots.

~fin 4 now

Made this using the photoshop CS3 beta. New features used in this were the surface blur and a bit of messing with the "layer lighten" and "colour dark" blending modes. The original image was a brush stroke I made using the tablet, I then proceeded to to filters and blending modes and layer options on it.



The Beta is download able on the adobe site and requires a CS2 cd key to become "permanent," or it is a 30-day trial period.
