dug Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Moderator's note: One of these sigs contained adult language. They are excellent sigs, but only click if you're okay with questionable words. I don't know if these sigs are any good or not but I am quite happy with them. 3 sigs Influenced and inspired by the work and video's from DarkShock. I thought I would give this art form (discipline) a go.Yeah, when I say discipline I mean not as easy as these great sig artist make it look. What an amazing learning curve this has been.I thought I knew about c4ds,brushes and using blending/opacity properties, well I know a lot more now. Sadly this isn't the art form for me but what I have learnt here I will hopefully put into my own style. Moderator's Note: I thought these sigs were excellent, but the Bender one was using language not allowed on this board. If you black out the word in question, feel free to edit this post to place the image back in.

Kemaru Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) I don't have any renders, C4D's or stock photos left on my computer. No Paint.NET plugins either. I'll download some later, but I made this sig using only parts of a single picture in different sizes. Negation/Difference. Rule #1 Blend modes matter EDIT: Oops! I forgot to comment on the previous post. I definitely see the DarkShock influence! Though, if you wanted to work on them more, you could try to add some light-to-transparent gradient layers to add some light and correct the colours so your subjects seem more like a part of their environment. I like the idea of a Van Gogh signature :DD Edited September 30, 2013 by Kemaru 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...
Daniels Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Dug: Those look pretty nice. I especially like the van Gogh sig. Kemaru: A beautiful piece. Very relaxed and peaceful. Quote Logo/Banner Competition My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkShock Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 @dug: Whoa someone make sigs inspired by my videos! O.O And they came out awesome. Well done. Rule #1 Blend modes matter So true. That's something that took me some time to learn. And that sig came out very nice even with the lack of plugins.

barbieq25 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Dug, I like them all but van Gogh is one of my fave artists. Kemaru. a lovely soft outcome. agreed - blend modes matter Good to see a tute being used so well Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

dug Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thank you all for your cool comments. It's been fun and I have learnt a lot. What my biggest problem here was (not being into games) choosing renders. Kemaru: Very subtle, pastel and peaceful. Also your taste in music is pretty cool.

Kemaru Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks for the comments everyone! I haven't really visited any GFX sites in a while so I don't know what it's like nowadays (don't know if there's even a GFX scene anymore) but there weren't that many great renders when I was most active, around 2009. I've never really felt comfortable using them anyway.

dug Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) That looks pretty cool to me but I'm no expert. If you get a chance have a look in Darkshock's gallery and check out his amazing videos.

If you get a chance have a look in Darkshock's gallery and check out his amazing videos. Oh shucks. You're spoiling me. @phenomenaldeath: It's great how the colors match, but I have to pointers for you. 1. Make the render bigger. It's supposed to be the highlight of the sig and the background is taking up about 80% of it. 2. The text. You should try to cut down on it. If you can't, try to make it smaller and more uniform. The text is on the bottom left, bottom right, and on the left coming down towards the render. If the text is all in a general area it won't look like a mess.

phenomenaldeath Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thx Dug. Dark shock thanks for the tips. That was my first time using a render. The text I kinda had no choice it was requested. I just couldn't figure out any other way than that. but I will definitely take your criticism for next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorOutlaw Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 My first serious play around with Red O's Cobweb plugin ... trying for ice but don't think I quite cracked it. Still liking the effect tho' ... pretty cool and the versatility of the plugin ... how many plugin authors can we vote for ?? http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2014/002/6/5/red_ice_by_pdnwelsh-d70jd0g.png May I offer my two cents? Add a bit of tiny air bubbles here and there to pull off the cracked ice effect. It looks good as it is now, but I think if you were to add some air bubbles, and maybe a bit of shadow, I think you got it nailed. Requesting an evaluation of my current sig...the blur is entirely intentional.

MikeRobe Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 There's no mistaking who you are! ;D I thought this might be interesting and contrasting. Got a glowing 'dented' curvy line and in the background I used the Bars plugin to make a 'rigid' feel. 1 Quote I baked another one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta0 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 There's no mistaking who you are! ;D I thought this might be interesting and contrasting. Got a glowing 'dented' curvy line and in the background I used the Bars plugin to make a 'rigid' feel. Your sig reminds me of the sci-fi genre. Mostly 'The Matrix', without the binary code. If I didn't see the line well, I would have thought it was like those that appear on an EKG. But what is really catching about it is the green tones. It, also, makes me think about anything that's refreshing, like mint. My first serious play around with Red O's Cobweb plugin ... trying for ice but don't think I quite cracked it. Still liking the effect tho' ... pretty cool and the versatility of the plugin ... how many plugin authors can we vote for ?? It does look like ice. I like how every letter overlaps the other. It's an interesting style, even for glassy text. Also, I love the cracks. Not just the cracks from the text, but from the whole picture. They're similar to the ice I've seen in 'The Day After Tomorrow' (the CG effects for the buildings.) Finally, when I see this pic, I think of...cobwebs. *shrugs* Btw, I was not aiming for a joke. Honest. :] Awesome Dug those are nice. I really enjoy looking at Bender and imagining his voice along with the picture. Here is one I recently finished for a friend. Your signature gives an air of mystery. Purple tones and black are a great combination for it. I'm not sure if that was your aim, but I like it. Also, the typography is great. The most catching is 'REBEL Serenity'. I'm very, very fond of clean, glowing text. X] Quote A Gallery Where to find me :D (Please, be careful.

Scooter Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 OK I have been like a fly on this forum ( buzzing around annoying people) for some time. I have tried to enter constructive critiques and use terrible pithy remarks to compensate for my lack of any submissions. All the while continually being amazed and awed at the considerable talent present here. All this ; is to preface my only and first cloddish attempt at a signature block. I present I beg for your constructive criticism. Note:Please keep the gales of laughter at a minimum. it might overwhelm the servers Quote Scooter Age is only a number --in my case a Really BIG number, but there you have it When the prefect paint.net image is created, I will still be wondering "How they Do that?"- sigh☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
