Any Advice? And Tophat here is some tips: Ok, no problem and I will help you out for a bit. First off for basic tips and sig steps and sort of a checklist use this site. http://globalsigalliance.com/forums/sig ... thrax.html ^ This will also give you tips with colour choice, render choice and much more! Ok with lighting you want to make a prominent light source that reflects off the stock/ render in a positive way. For example I usually look on the render or stock to find if it already has a light source and I add on to it, if not I choose a nice spot and add a light source and add shadow’s on the opposite end. It is like a hill with light on it. Here is an example where the light source is in the top right corner reflecting on the main focal and there is a small shade of darkness and shadow on the opposite side. With depth; depth is meant to show distance between objects in a special and realistic way.. I rarely use C4DS and make my own effects to add depth but overlapping different types of brushes on to different layers. There are two types of depth, backwards and normal depth backwards is when you see the focal up close and you can tell it is very close, Normal depth is having it seem a far distance with a sense of realism. An example would be this sig, you can clearly see the depth and the distance between the effects and the main render. And Backgrounds.. well here is where you creativity comes in keep it prominent with the main focal and render; meaning keep it simple and not chaotic and make it match the you’re feelings as well as the focal’s look! I hope this has helped you a bit…. This is just the basic’s that you can improve on. EDIT: MY ENTRY FOR SOTW! Meant to be along the lines of insane and addicted.... {Ch@/\/\p}

What I was just trying to give you some advice as you gave me and it is IMO so it is demanding at all and it is my opinion on art right? Just trying to help and here is another large piece more of a abstract the way I was feeling very bright and peppy! and you're edit says that the picture is not found... http://i26.tinypic.com/33m39q8.png {Ch@/\/\p}

Here are some larger arts of mine and a variety of other stuff… also Tophat never use C4DS over the renders face or parts of upper body.. and add some depth and a lightsource you’re sigs are a bit novice if you wanted real criticism…. IMO. Also here is what I read and look at for reference well making sigs it is very helpful and I give full credit to creator! http://globalsigalliance.com/forums/sig ... thrax.html And Kirby: Yes I did man helped a bunch!!! Here are some larger works.. and how do I thumbnail these lol? Well basically just made silhouette for now… http://i31.tinypic.com/oqkd4l.png {Ch@/\/\p}

Dude super plasticy?? Lol but super cool! {Ch@/\/\p}

Lol… actually on most forums I am the Paint.net Sig guy because most people say my techniques with this program are similar to those of the works with Photoshop and dare I say the evil Gimp! And I am rather proud of that don’t you think I am good with sigs? Lol And the truth…. I would probably suck at making other stuff besides large wallpaper art since it is a larger version of a sig.. I made a silouhette wallpaper a while ago and a abstract piece! If you wanna see it I will try and dig it up! {Ch@/\/\p}

UPDATE: Ok guys here are a couple of update that I need C and C on! Here is a newer tag that I made two versions on! And edits of my previous 2 tags! And thanks for the comments guys really appreciate it! Also Tophat I don’t use C4DS make my own effects with custom brushes…. Quite hard also.. do not use Gaussian blur as well and Oma it is quite hard working with stocks and renders but thanks for the advice! V1: V2: Edits: Also you guys thin I am improving? {Ch@/\/\p}

Oh it was you'res lol! Well Thanks! And anyways here is another new sigggy! {Ch@/\/\p}

Nice stuff! I like the depth and work you put into you’re pieces as well as the overall inspiration and effort! {Ch@/\/\p}

Update! Here are two older edits and revamps plus 2 new sigs made… one I followed a tut. But added a little bit extra and another I just made for a different forum.. < Made from scratch, minimalistic < Stock, experimenting with text.. e.c.t < Tried something newish… < Had this laying around…. {Ch@/\/\p}

I said look at my gallery and get some idea’s…. inspiration can come from anywhere and do you know the meaning from depth because I have been rated on over 8 different sites and am apart of at least 13 and they all say I have excellent depth so… w.e but if you cant take criticism that don’t post but nice stuff anyways.. and did I ever say my stuff is better then you’re at any point? {Ch@/\/\p}

Dude… I was just giving advice and execution is key in all types of art you have a attitude that wont take you any where. But if you want real criticism.. then you over use effects that distorts the main look and offsets the image in a bad way. The depth is also very flat and has little detail and you’re light sources are not that good. You need to work on planning and thinking before doing not just doing random things. And I never asked you if you liked my stuff or you’res… so there was no need for that I was just giving advice to a gallery without posts but I shouldn’t have. Next time… lose the attitude… {Ch@/\/\p}

Guys my colours arent the same I changed that style and blooper…. I told you many times only about 5 up there are stocks and the rest are renders… so =P! And those were effects on the guys neck I added to give a sense.. well people on different forums like that style but here its meh… and again my colours are different way different! EDIT: DIFF. VERSIONS OF IRON! {Ch@/\/\p}

Well anyway’s I prefer that webpage design over the real one anyday man! I made a new sig check my gall! {Ch@/\/\p}

Hey you need to work on you’re depth and execution but for a new artist you’re stuff is alright visit my gall for ideas! {Ch@/\/\p}

Hey guys here are some previous tag edits and a new one! Just small editing. And sorry I have not posted in a while… New: EDIT: HERE ARE SOME DIFFERENT VERSIONS! Whats ur fav? For a SOTW somewhere else: Previous: Made it brighter and more visible.. More effects: Likey my stuffy? {Ch@/\/\p}

Dude.... =/ all of my tags up on the first post are all stocks except a certain few: Refreshing, Super, Unique, mostly everything else is a made with a main render... so think first. {Ch@/\/\p}

Oh lol… my bad… I know how to spell it just made a mistake hopefully I can add it… {Ch@/\/\p}

Oh was it a good comparison? And what do you think of my latest sig? And what you said about how I make my sigs is not close at all I barely use C4Ds but do a hell a lot of editing mainly with stocks and renders… EDIT: Here is another update my fist ever abstract piece!! {Ch@/\/\p}

Nice start.. just work on you’re depth and colour schemes and you should be on you’re way.. visit my gallery all I make is sigs lol…. {Ch@/\/\p}

Thanks for the comments guys here is a 24 hour update I have been experimenting with styles… some more… Fire ants why did you post those PS tags here? {Ch@/\/\p}

Ok guys thanks for all the comments! I am uber happy…. And for all you that need tips just ask… but it is hard to execute my style since I have so many and it is MINE! (Muahahaha)….. and Darkshock thanks for the response but I am fine with my avvy for now… when they get old I will surely Pm you! {Ch@/\/\p}

You need to work with one render instead of a whole bunch to narrow the focal down. You’re sigs are to plain and have barely any effects but the concept is nice. Visit my gallery for some ideas and post! {Ch@/\/\p}

Thanks man! Do you think I am good ?? one of the best?? (not!) {Ch@/\/\p}

Wow! I love you’re work absolutely creative and amazing.. I might use some of those graphics in my sigs if I can get you’re permission. And are you Indian? If you are so am I! Also visit my sig gallery… {Ch@/\/\p}

I made this.. I am currently going through the whole experimentation stage and it is quite hard to blend and work with stocks/ renders.. but that’s all I do lol. Here is V2: {Ch@/\/\p}
