Tarat Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 No problem =) I've been on my soapbox all day for one reason or another and I'm very quick to defend people who have been wronged. If I need to lay off, just say it. lol Still, there was no reason for frandaman to act like that. I suspect he was a troll, but I couldn't help it. I can't stand it when people attack others and don't have legit reasons to back them up. I'm just going to leave it at that. I'm not afraid to call people out, but I don't want to start a flame war or anything. We need new users to feel welcomed and feel that they are in a community where they can learn and enhance their PDN skills. Not somewhere where they are afraid to ask questions for fear of being ridiculed. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbieq25 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 2nd post ever & frandaman is complaining about abbreviations? Dude! These are keyboard shortcuts. I couldn't imagine working without them. One hand on the mouse & the other on the keyboard. What is so hard about that? I think the tute is really good. I'm not into making sigs but the outcomes so far have been great & shows that it is a great tute. Tarat is so right. Ask for help if you don't understand something because Chrisco is a very friendly & helpful guy. Knowledge is no burden to carry.

Mayor_McSteeze Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Really nice tutorial, somehow I haven't seen this before, (or at least I don't remember seeing it!) I like how the outcome can be very clean and simple, but still look extremely professional. Great job.

StarDebut Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I've seen many many sigs like this recently and especially on planetrenders.com but I didn't even realise paint.net had custome brushes. I may need to download some? and a smudge tool too? wow! Seriously I've been using paint.net for a couple of years now and this forum is really suprising me. A+ tutorial ! I might make some custom brushes, it would be very simple and cool to have a folder full of my own home made custom brushes. Can you explain further the lighting source and how this applies to paint.net. Is this render built in or is it another plug-in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisco97 Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) To add a light source, I usually brush with a white coloured 75 size brush. Then I Gaussian Blur at whatever fits best for the image. Usually around 50-70. Most of my signatures do not use this anymore, but this is what I used in this signature. Thanks for the wonderful compliment, and if you have anymore questions, please feel free to ask me. Edited April 28, 2011 by chrisco97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarDebut Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Okay that lighting source makes sense. I find that doing it this way it can be easy to get the light source wrong but its a technique worth improving if I am not very good at. Thanks ps thanks for the message about borders, that helps.

xxRUSTYNAILxx Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Hi Chrisco97, just wanted to say that your tutorial gave me the inspiration to create this, i followed your instruction however i added my own little twist in this sig, would like to say that this was an easy to follow well wrote out tutorial. However the only problem i find is struggling to get the text to match the actual sig, for example your capt America text and the one in your current sig, maybe you could show me how to make the text fit please. By the way here is my attempt Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
