barbieq25 1,165 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 A suggestion for getting your sigs smooth as silk: make the image 4 times bigger than the finished product, then resize it down to 25%. Sure it slows the pc down but the results are so worth it. I really like the sea eagle. Fabulous idea with the boxes! Very nice works despite the jaggies. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

Raptor_101 0 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Interesting idea. Haven't tried it before. I couldn't do that with the F-15 one as it was pretty much that size. Jaggies as in the boxes being somewhat jagged? Or something else? If it's the boxes I was going for the jaggged look, but I can see that that jaggedness doesn't work on some sigs. However it works perfectly with the green one for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raptor_101 0 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Here's something I did a while ago. The clouds are made in PdN not by using the could plugin. I have figured a way out to make realistic looking clouds without smudging or painting. It's called The Descent: Edited January 26, 2011 by Raptor_101 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raptor_101 0 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 New Sig/Avy combo on first post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barbieq25 1,165 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I like the outcome on the new sig/avvie combo. Good to see some brighter works as so often sigs are quite dark. Not that there is anything work with that - just a fresh look. Well done! Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to post Share on other sites
HELEN 360 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Your new sig is lovely. The colors are perfect and makes it all stand out.

Raptor_101 0 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 barbieq25: You're right about most being dark. I bet with my other sigs. I'll do some light ones. I still haven't used the halftone plug-in and I'm interested in using it. HELEN: Thanks for your kind words both of you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raptor_101 0 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hey everyone it's been a while. I did a sig. for a CoD themed SoTW today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chrisco97 3 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I don't like the lines, or the pixels. But I do think it has potential. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raptor_101 0 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 The idea behind the scan lines was to create the look of a hologram/screen effect. Thanks for your critiques. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chrisco97 3 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I think if you make them more subtle, it will look better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raptor_101 0 Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 I did this one back in August before starting another semester of school. It's been a long time I know. I hope to get some GFX going this summer. Not my greatest, but I was trying to go for a 60's look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HELEN 360 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Oh, yeah! What a great design! Quote Don't spit into the well, you might drink from it later. -----Yiddish ProverbGlossy Galaxy Ball---How to Make FoliageMy Gallery PDN Fans--My DA Link to post Share on other sites
Raptor_101 0 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Thanks you guys! I still feel I need to do something with the plane itself, but not sure. Also did this sig. recently: I'm content with it for now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raptor_101 0 Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) A simple sig I did recently. Based off of some of the text and background effects used in some of the new Halo 4 videos. and the white border around the image blends right in on this forum I just noticed lol.

barbieq25 1,165 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hmm, white border Lovely sig. I really like the background texture. Well done! Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to post Share on other sites
