Mike Ryan Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Thanks for the compliments! Also, if anybody notices any left over pixels on the most recently added logo, let me know. I have been having a hard time trying to clean it up as much as possible. Also, I'll be posting a new wallpaper in a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Nab Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Very nice Mike - did you use a tablet for it? All in Paint.NET? Is that natural pressure sensitivity, or did you mimic it with the line tool? I like the new logo - it's sleek and grungy at the same time ) Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever.

Is that natural pressure sensitivity, or did you mimic it with the line tool? I like the new logo - it's sleek and grungy at the same time ) I mimic'd the pressure sensitivity look, then used a controlled selection of Add Noise and Motion blur followed by a 1px erase to give it the torn feel. All Paint.NET. The only part I can't and won't take credit for is the leaf at the tip of the 'Y'. That is actually CMD's creation from a while back. I wanted it too feel kind of Japanese in terms of the fake brush stroke and tried to keep it sleek at the same time. I like it, and I still have some corrections to make. Glad you like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Ryan Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Thanks for the comments, BarbieQ, Sharp, and Nabster! I am dumping yet another signature in here. I need to get my mind off of this type of sig! This one was going to be a Christmas day only one. I am going to start over on it though. I want to incorporate a bow of some kind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Twisting ribbons are tough. The big thing in my sig was originally supposed to be a twisting ribbon or something Quote [Glass Ball Tutorial] [My Gallery] [starscape Tutorial] [My Sig Tutorial] [My dA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Look forward to seeing how you do the Ribbons. Like sharp says twisting ribbons are tough to do. You need to get some little dips and shadows in there with out it being too over the top. But you have great skills of observation and great PDN skills so I'm sure you will whip thru that sig in no time. you have a nice Christmas Mike, and once again congrats on your getting into that art class. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokagirl Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Love the Christmas signature , a bow would put the icing on the sig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Ryan Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Starting to work on the bow. I was going to attempt to add the same mRyan gloss effect to it, but I fear the shadows and blending will make it way too complicated with what little time I have left In the mean time, I noticed this guy sitting in my photobucket account. Probably a few days old and is another reminder I need to get off of this style. However, I was happy that I didn't use cool, dark colors like my favorite shades of blues and dark greens. This one actually attempted vibrant colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Ryan Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Here is my (impractically) large 2010 New Year's Signature. So large that I will (most likely) be unable to wear it on that day. Enjoy! Also, a word of note: You'll need Opera to load the image (for now).

theonlychad Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 actually google chrome loads it to bro. Nice job on the sig mate. I see you like the 500x100 sig setup like me Quote "Clearly it's a very serious and literal meaning.

Mike Ryan Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Yes, I am a big fan of that size. Sometimes I'll creep down to 500x90 but it is a very rare occasion. It allows for easy cropping on the avatar, which I rarely put any real effort into. Edit: Wait, Chrome loads that animation and everything?

theonlychad Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 nah it doesn't load an animation but it loads the picture lol. Quote "Clearly it's a very serious and literal meaning.

Mike Ryan Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 I expect the GIF to be pretty hefty in size as well, after all it is about 47(!) frames. I'll just considerit my second proof of concept APNG signature, the first of which I am now noticing is not up in my gallery. Let me see if ol' Photobucket has it... Ah! I found it. I also found a lot more unposted artwork. Maybe I should unearth a bit of it over the course of this Christmas break Also, yes I love Opera. If you are just using it to toy around with and don't mind it crashing every once in a while, you should check out the new developer's preview of Opera 10.50. I am a huge Opera fanboy and will defend it against all odds (Just ask CMD). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Ryan Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 You are running the 10.5 Developer Preview build and it doesn't crash on you?! Lucky... The first animated signature was around 47 frames and the one above, if I recall correctly, was around 25-30 frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
