TopHATslash Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Very cool smudging. Try adding a focal, if its a circle or something else. Something that you want everyone to look at right away and give it some depth to that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blooper Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Is that PDN or Gimp? If it's PDN I want the settings. :o [Edit] I actually also want the settings for Gimp if it's Gimp.

Kemaru Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 @Stealthed: Looks pretty good, but try making the big S (the on in the circle) a little better. It looks rather sloppy atm. @Soul41: I see what you did there. 8) Very nice. <------Look at my new avatarr Quote Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule. |fb(page)|portfolio|blog| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemaru Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hmm, that's a pretty good tutorial. I don't smudge like that though. Quote Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule. |fb(page)|portfolio|blog| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 @ soul41: I really like the colored abstract more than the "electric" sig you presently have. I've been unable to do a decent abstract so will take a look at the tutorial you mentioned. I guess your present sig is a tad too symmetrical for my liking. @ Kemaru: I can't say I was wow'd with your sig initially. Until I realized it is a "double" image. It's a disk and a stylized dog/fierce-thing-with-teeth. Now that's different, and that's not a bad thing either. I like it more and more!

Raptor_101 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 @soul41: Very good looking abstract/smudge sig. It's very colorful and done right. New one I did: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul41 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 @Raptor That's pretty cool. I especially like the background, but the plane seems to blurry to me. Maybe sharpen it a little? I think I'll use this as my new sig Used GIMP only for the final touches. EDIT: Removed text for now EDIT2:Made a v2 Which is better?

Kemaru Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Ooh, I like that soul. The text seems out of place though. Good work on the colours.

soul41 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I really like those Kemaru, but the render seems a little low quality :?: . Also, on the sepia toned one, the pink border seems a little distracting. I don't usually work with stocks and renders, but I think it turned out OK (maybe not ): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sokagirl Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Kemaru , my deepest apologies for not reading the rules . So I went back to the post above me which was Himself22 , I liked his new signature but the black text over the blue square made it hard to read , Soul41 , I love your signature I'm inspired to make something like it but not the same of course I just like the texture and last but not least Jaug1337 , where's your signatures ? I just saw them then I went back to look they were gone ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul41 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Thanks Soka. Don't see any images jaug... :?: I was really bored today, so I made another sig: EDIT:v2 of the reaper sig... This one is much better IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiirus Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I'll rate you both... sokagirl: I like Star Wars but apply a bit Glow to make it loook better... 8/10 soul41:1: 8/10 2: 9/10 Love it... nice background and render!

soul41 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 @wiirus: Not bad, especially since your just a beginner, but some advise that I would have to give you is too try not to just stick in a c4d and expect it to look better. C4D's are great for a lot of things, but aren't put at their fullest use unless you use them correctly. Also, I think that you need to work on blending your renders better into the BG. I can really see the potential in your work though, so keep practicing, and you'll get better. I don't really like how the colors turned out, but I thought I would share it anyway: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Soul41, try darkening and blurring areas to give depth. Also, the tag is somewhat messy so clean it up a little. De-hectic-ize it. Maybe add some effects on top too. Good work. _________________________ Found/Made some time today and did this.. No GFX for a while does build an "urge" to make something in PDN.. This is the outcome. I like it, so i made it my new sig and ava. All PDN. Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆  .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

Kemaru Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Is niec. I don't like the border's though, and you could've added some "Elegance" in front.

soul41 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 @LFC: Great job. It looks so elegant and glossy. I have no problem with the border and think it fits well. Another sig... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerK Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I like it allot, the render ( is that the right word? ) is very clean around the edges and stands out allot against the background. Also i find the text to be simple yet effective, in the way that it overlaps yet is still readable. The only part of it i dont like is the patch covering the mouth/neck/shoulder region it looks out of place to me. Your favourite so far is the reaper one though. My turn Something i made for my gaming clan Also you can comment on current sig as well if you wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pophiri Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 KillerK, you obviously like lines and angles (are you a mathmatical person?). Some comments on your gaming sig. The individual elements are good, but I am not blown away by the composition. You don't have to fill in every spot, 'white space' is good (or in this case blue strippy space). There is a lot of text, but as it is all the same font your eye doesn't know where to go. You will get a better look if you use a contrasting font for A Eu Clan Cg Clan. But your sig is way better than my non-existant one. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soul41 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 @KillerK: It's nice, but I don't really like that blue. Yay, another sig: Couldn't think of any text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blooper Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Also your first rule breaking; read the first post, you're supposed to give criticism on the image before yours if it hasn't gotten any.
