cooldude2222 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 @ncfan51 Hmm i get your point about the white being a little too strong. I'll work on it @worldnewser Once again, yeah. i understand that the white is kinda too harsh. I'll take your suggestion @Myrddin I'm lost :shock: :oops: Also, anyone noticed that the edges of the win flags are kinda glossy and glassy? (the original/real one) Any idea how that could be replicated? Thanks in advance -Cooldude2222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopHATslash Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Ncfan, try blurring a little but not much. And then noise, like Mister Merlin said. Any help on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flow55 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 tHs I'm not a big fan of the border, I don't know what else to put it just doesn't match. The actual sig/tag itself is amazing. Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scudder5000 Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 made some changes. Not sure what to do. I want this one to be better then my Death Note and Inuyasha one(which needs work too). Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3z Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Sorry scudder I dont know what to do with your images (although I am an anime fan). But your post was a week ago with no replies so here is my question. (If I am incorrect in asking a new question then feel free to reply to scudder, not me. Q: On my current sig (100th post) the smaller text ("D3z" and "100th post") has a white "border" around it which is ugly and not wanted. The thing is that this is caused only by the blend modes (as far as I know) and I didnt put anything there. Is there a way to remove it and what could I have done to cause it (blurs?). Can anyone help me? Quote "Confusion is the welcome mat at the door of creativity." -Michaul Gelb My Gallery Check it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeonix Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 D3Z: Did you save that sig as a JPG or JPEG? If so, your basically screwed,unless you saved a PNG or a PDN version. JPEGs are for pictures. They are lossy to an extent, thus maybe causing the unwanted effect. Just a hint. Quote My Blog|My DeviantART|Last.FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3z Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Ummm the one that you see on this forum is a PNG, but yes I did save a PDN form as well. Is that a problem?

pipp92 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 have you fetahered the text? if not run the feather plugin on the text layer with checked true feather Quote Personal Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3z Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Yes and like I mentioned earlier (I think I did) it is caused by the layer blending. So that makes no difference. Oh wait I found the problem. The bluring around the text is causing it. Thanks for the help though guys Quote "Confusion is the welcome mat at the door of creativity." -Michaul Gelb My Gallery Check it out!

RyuinfinityPDN Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Is this better than My current sig? If not, how can I improve it? Quote -- Make an Explosion in Space-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Any help on making it more realistic...? @cooldude - Notice in the reference image that the base gradient is radial and has a darker color. And also: The white is too visible. Try another transparent linear gradient on the glare starting a little higher up on the canvas. Link You have to make his lips bigger and lift the mouth a little bit up. It's much easier to manipulate B&W images.

matt469 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Ok... Hi. er... well this is my (horrible) Avatar. Look below. Im just looking for something to do to it, as it is horrible. So, yeh, well, help would be appreciated. Cheers, Matt469 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hey Matt are those eyeballs? Ok guys let's get this fellow started any ideas for helping him? Quote  My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oma Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 further for Matt I'd personally make not so much contrast color for the background. but then again I like more subdued monochromatic colors especially in something as small as an avatar. or even just one eyeball on a more plain background.

matt469 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 well, i was: 1. going to COMPLETELY redo the avvy 2. well... thats what you guys are here for. If i were to redo it, what would i do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuinfinityPDN Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Less contrasting colors, more effects, more originality. Quote -- Make an Explosion in Space-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt469 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 here, i re-did it. And a matching sig. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bEPIK Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 @matt469 I don't pretend to be an expert at this but, they're too crowded for me, and I don't think the purple and the brown go well with the rest of the image. I've just made a few quick pictures in the same style to get you thinking I hope I don't sound offensive or anything, and that what I've wrote helps you.

eraser18 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Matt: The purple text is very hard to read, and not really creative. Try a different font, and maybe seek out a few cool text tutorials to make it a little more interesting to look at. Make sure the final font color is easy to read, but with the same color scheme as the signature. Also, I don't know if the little strips of a brownish, whitish, and blackish color are supposed to look sharp or shiny, or if that was just a mistake, but I would suggest making it smooth if it is supposed to be smooth, making it shinier if it's supposed to be shinier, or making it stand out more if it is supposed to be sharp. I don't know if this needs anything, or what...it just doesn't look right to me. I drew the entire tree in pencil, then colored it, softened edges, ink sketch, and so on.

007 Nab Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Sticking it off center might do something for the overall visual appeal. I dunno - looks pretty good to me!

eraser18 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Thanks guys--I'll try making it off centered, see how I like it, maybe post it. Thanks again! Edit: Yup. I do like this. Thanks for the help! As soon as I make a matching avatar, I think I'll use this as a sig! Quote |Eraser18's Gallery| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Nab Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Glad you like it - I think it looks better too Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever.
