I decided to make some new sigs, out of boredom. So here they are. >> > >

That's awesome, AFG! Extremely realistic. would've thought it was real if you hadn't told me

awesome. but a bit er...too much. It makes me a bit dizzy lol Try blurring the centre a bit. If you look at it from a long distance, you can see it looks like some kinda insect. hehe

No offense Crimson, but man, can you stop accussing Nemo of copying? I mean first, it's really annoying. Second, I am sure Nemo did that. Just look at his other pieces, his work is awesome, he can do stuff without copying. Nemo, I think you should give Crimson a pdn version of your work.

Any preview of what's coming next?

that's awesome, Sharp! So good. I actually tried copying it a bit, like this? anyone like this sig as well?

Axle, that simpsons one is too contrasted. You should add some white bits then probably gaussian blur it a bit. And Nemo, thanks. Just a notice, this ain't the full tut. Some times you have to add some custom brushes. If the a part is too contrasted, you should probably flip the splinter layers horizontally or vertically. I know none of you will understand what I'm saying, I'm not good at explaining things.

That mastercheif sig is awesome, Sozo! Nice work really! The only thing I would change is try shapening themasterchief image a bit, it's a bit dull right now.

Yeah, I just decided to add a few realistics. 4 actually. Here's noe of 'em. I added a new section, 700x500. It's under realistic pieces

that is awesome! so completely awesome! Looks like a dragon sucked into a hole.

@Possum: wow...can't believe my own eyes. I would've thought it was something in Terminator if you hadn't told me. @Calamity: Seriously, you actually call yourself a noob? You are so not a noob! That is awesome! But the background is a bit plain. You should add some patterns. But seriously, that's awesome. Anyone like this? 100% PDN.

Er...I can make a c4d tut, but maybe a smudge tut...but Kemaru should make it. I ain't making sigs for a while anyway, realistics are my style.

this ain't a smudge tut :?

that style is awesome~! but I prefer your old one now. The image in the new style is a bit too contrasted.

@ Flip: yeah, but this tut is in newbie playground. @ Sh0x: sorry, I thought you were freemason. your avatars look the same.

sh0x, that avatar is quite nice, but it's too contrasted. lighten it up a bit! devilartist, yours is great but a bit blurred...

Awesome shield man. Write a tut, write a tut...atleast give us some notes all how you did it.

why don't you search?

that's awesome, possum! seriously, it rocks. :shock: I wouldn't change it a bit. Anyone like this?

Hello! I'm yy10. Today, we'll be making a splintered avatar like these: This technique also works for a sig, and this is pretty easy. But you will need the Splinter plug-in. So let's start. 1. :AddNewLayer: we will start with a new image. with 98x98 pixels. 2. Let's add in a render. a good place to get renders from is Planet Renders. So I used this render. Now we copy the render and paste it on the canvas. You should put the main aprt(or the head) in the middle of the canvas as to see it more clearly. This is what I did: Now, let's remove that black background. We use the Magic Wand tool. . We now select the black area, and we press delete on our keyboard. If it doesn't only select the background and the image also, we will set the tolerance lower. So now we get this. :arrow: 3. Now add a new layer. :AddNewLayer: . Move it down the layer with the render. :Down: On that layer, we will add a Mandelbrot Fractal. Effects>Render>Mandelbrot Fractal. Use these settings. :DuplicateLayer: Duplicate the layer. Go to Layers>Flip Horizontal. :Horiz: Make that layer Multiply by clicking F4. Merge that layer down. You should only have 2 layers now. :MergeDown: Go to Adjustments>Black and White. Now, go to Effects>Blur>Splinter. Use these settings. 4. Go to the layer with the render and turn that layer's blending mode to Overlay by clicking on F4. :DuplicateLayer: Duplicate that layer. 5. Add another layer. :AddNewLayer: Make a Effects>Render>Mandelbrot Fractal, with these settings. Make this layer Black and White (Adjustments>Black and White) Do an Effects>Blur>Splinter. Use these settings. Make this layer Overlay by clicking on F4. It should now look like this. 6. Now you will see that some places are left white and that's a bit weird. So we add a new layer. :AddNewLayer: Now we use the Paint brush tool , set the brush width to something about 15, and we brush the places with black that are weird with white. Now we Effects>Blur>Gaussian Blur it. Set it to something of about 48. :GaussianBlur: . 7. Now, let's flatten the image. (Layers>Flatten) :Flatten: 8. Let's add a border. I used DarkShock's AWESOME 6-Pixel Overlay Pattern Border. Instructions for that can be found here. 9. :AddNewLayer: Add another layer. Let's use the Paint Bucket tool now. :PaintBucketTool: We will set the fill to Narrow Horizontal. Now fill the canvas up with it. We will make this layer Overlay by clicking on F4. Let's make the transparency way low, like this. 10. Now we are almost done! Just the last step left. Let's Flatten this image first. We will be adding some colour. Now, I'm deciding to make this avatar red. So I used Adjustments>Curves and did this. Tips Adding the top splinter's direction(setp 5) depends on how your render looks like. For example, if it's this render: http://www.ugo.com/games/super-smash-bros-characters/images/luigi.jpg We will make the Mandelbrot Fractal start from the right.(The dark part is on the right). If it is a render like this: http://www.bingegamer.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/phoenixwright.jpg we will make the Mandelbrot Fractal start from the left. (The dark part is on the left) Now we are done! Enjoy your avatar!

O rly? Why don't I see you do it then. Edit: Finally done with the tut, here it is: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=31653 It's in Newbie Playground because I think it's pretty simple.

Yes. But more than that. Much more than that.

Yeah, thanks. I think I might be writing a tut about a sig or an avatar. I just got 5 tutorial requests. So if you want the tut...it's coming! Here's the avatar tut if you want it: http://paintdotnet.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=31653

That's awesome! I think everything is very good except the border...

@ Blooper: well, it can teach you a good technique with splintering. @ Tourist: That's very nice! But I think it's too big for a sig or an avy. Edit: Oh, I just realised that this is Image Umbrella: Signatures, Avatars, Logos & Text
