Krutch-it Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I made these for when I use the name Jagwire.. This is my WoW name, and my forum name for the guild I'm in..(this is also what my character actually looked like at the time..I think I've bought all new armor since then tho..)..I don't really like the sig. gonna make a new one soon, I hope. Here's one I made out of fun, was just experimenting(sp?) I made this for someone..they liked it, but I hated it lol. Kinda ashamed to say I did it and here's a hitman sig I did..cause I love hitman.. And my latest sig/ava duo (the ones I currently use, as well): Quote The Spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Krutch-it, your first one is my favourite. Simple but elegant and effective. The rest don't appeal to me a lot though, for the ones that have renders in them, you should use some effects to make them blend in the with sig, add lighting etc. The blending applies for Krutch-it, christiansteele and The great 1. Try smudging or looking at some sig tutorials on how to do so. _______________________ Text embossed into wood. All PDN, except for wood. It was quite simple actually. It says water, because i was going to do liquid text on the wood, but i kinda phased it into this embossed version. Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

Boude Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 @LFC4EVER: looks good and if you would add a focalpoint and a highlight as described in erazer's waterdrop tutorial (I hope I got it right) it would look like water. @Krutch-it: it's good, but I think you can do better, it can be me. I just don't like people using renders, because I think that if you really want an image that bad, you should have a try yourself. anyway here's my new avatar, tired of feeling a noob, soon I'll make a sig (I think) Quote History repeats itself, because nobody was paying attention the first time.

Krutch-it Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Thanks for the input, guys @LFC4EVER: I did use one of the tutorials for most of those sigs. I tried the frost glass+glaussian blur at different levels on many different layers, but it never came out like it did in the tut. And. I hate smudging. It doesn't seem to do anything except make things darker. And I don't want darker, I want smudge. O.o @Boude: But isn't me getting an image the same as a render? ISn't a render just a cut-out of an image? I don't think I understand what you mean by "have a try yourself" ... Quote The Spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The great 1 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 ok so i think i had to much going on in that creepy gost sig so here is my second shot at it before after Quote I AM GREAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemaru Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hey guys im kinda new and i cant get my avatar to work. I put in the web address and it does'nt work. Any help would be appreacated Thanks. Well, there are two slots, so did you try both of them? If you did, try downloading the image and uploading it to the site.

LFC4EVER Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 @LFC4Ever ... the water wood text really does look like it's been carved from one piece of wood. I like that one a lot. Nice job. Thanks, i messed a bit more with the method and used it on some diamond plate metal. I don't think it turned out as well as the wood one, but it looks nice anyway.

Krutch-it Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Alright. due to the many comments saying that I could do better, I've attempted to do just that. Here's my next try. It has 27 layers (I read somewhere, the more layers the better lol). And I did any and everything I could think of, lol...tell me what you think...

pipp92 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 i like it too, only the text placement and style needs a lot of work try to write you text together near the focal and use not such a big font Quote Personal Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krutch-it Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Yeah, I always have real trouble with font placement and such, because I never know where to put it. Lol. By focal point, what do you mean? I.E. where is the focal point on the sig i just made? Quote The Spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 A focal point is the place your eyes go to first in a work. It's usually the most different part of the image. In the example, there really isn't one- it's all too similar. The skull on the right is trying to be, but it could use some more contrast. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krutch-it Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Oh, well..I don't know if i really want a focal point. I kinda like people to look at all of it. Is that bad? Quote The Spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFC4EVER Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Erase the swirls when they're supposed to go behind the car. A bit of a weird flow if you ask me. Done for v2. The flow.. well, my excuse is.. its not supposed to have flow. really like it only the textcolors are a bit :? did you draw the lines with the line/curve tool ? and the glow with the tut from tHS? Thanks! Changed the text, and yeah, lines were done with line/curve tool. The glow, i just did that myself, didn't look at any tuts. So.. v2: better?

pipp92 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 yeah looks better any hints on how you did the glow? or was it just the glow plugin? Quote Personal Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krutch-it Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I was trying to do something that was different from my normal style (not sure if I even have yet, haha), but I don't really like it. The lightness at the bottom seems to offset it, but if I take it off it all looks empty. I tried to find some way to make it look like something is floating around him (like an exploded ring of some kind?), kinda transparent, but I couldn't come up with anything good. Help? EDIT: Also, I was wanting to do something like clouds surrounding him, but not so overhwleming that it took over the whole thing, but I don't know how to do that without it being over the whole sig. Help with that would be good, too. EDIT 2: I saved the pdn file, so I can change it all I want, heh. Quote The Spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
