yeah looks better

any hints on how you did the glow?

or was it just the glow plugin?

Thanks! I did use glow, but i drew the lines in white first, then added colour. It was quite easy IMO

If you want the .pdn i can give it to you (learning rights only).

Krutch-it, i pm'd you.

Please comment. it has only 8 layers but i like how it turned out

[Blooper]

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.

It should. Even Stalin's propaganda poster have flow.

Yours is bottom-right to top left. Because the line were over the car, it had a weird flow. Looks better now IMO.

[LFC4EVER]

Nab sent me a PM, which he said my sig is trying to convey motion, and he's right. Hamilton's car has just turned, so thats why the lines are not going in one direction.

Here's the original so you can see the turn: Clicky!

Well, here's my first attempt at a vertical sig.

[Boude]

@LFC4EVER: I think the blue one is better, because the lighter part is just lighter, not red. By the way, it is far too big for a sig.

[Krutch-it]

Well, here's my first attempt at a vertical sig.

[[iMAGE 1]] & [[iMAGE 2]]

Those are neat. I've never heard of vertical sigs before. It's neat, but there's too much room at the top, even though it kinda looks cool to me, I think others would find it annoying/distracting. Post the v3 you have of it

Thanks. Yes, its too big for a sig on this forum, but others it isn't.

Well now you do know about vertical sigs. I agree that theres too much room at the top (members on another forum said that too). But, I do have a v3! So..

v3:

[hyrule]

here are some i did really quickly

i will probably make a new one soon

[zzz92]

@LFC4EVER : I LOVE IT! It's my 1st time seeing a vertical sig and it blows me away! I like the blue better it has a better blend of colors. The red has too many differ of colors [ warm and cool colors ] I would love to see more if possible. Too bad it cant be used Dang...

@hyrule: i like the avatar but the borders could use some glow or feathering. And as for yur sig, yur rays need some :AntiAliasingOn:

PS. No comments on mine? Anyone? Hello~? FYI it's on the previous page

[Goonfella]

I like the vertical as well but I still think Lewis is better.

Here my new av:

Only stumbled across the effect with the Knight when I used the magic wand and deleted half of him! I started adding gradients to see what would happen and was pleasantly surprised at the result.

[pipp92]

^looks quite cool^

my penmod

[petewolfbane]

here is my new sig of ike from SSB

[Blooper]

Hero, unless criticism has already been given to the sig above you, you can't post a sig. Unless you add criticism yourself.

@pipp: I'll be honest with you. The background is blurry, the pen is jaggy and blurry at the same time, and it has too much contrast.

[pipp92]

it was just a fun oone, i took the pic of the pen with my super webcam ( as you can see)

...just a little tip, you give everytime bad critique - a nice sentence here and therre would be nice

on the player-art forum it says - good critique first and at the end something like keep it up, that makes the whole thing better

[Blooper]

You know just as much as I do that I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. Think of it this way: at least you're getting criticism.

[hyrule]

this is not finished yet, but i am thinking of turning this into a sig. 100% pdn except for render

here is another one that has a bonus if you use FF3

[Krutch-it]

@ hyrule: metroid sig: did you use the metroid sig tut? I think i read that tut. and, it looks nice so far. There's something a bit off about it (maybe the "transition" of the guy to the fire/shot? where the 'fire' outline turns form gold to red?), but I'm sure you'll do fine Post the end result when you've got it!

And I like the Yoshi one! 'yoshi' seems a bit hard to read, but I love mario and anything related lol

Here's one of mine I made today:

I tried to keep the flow in mind and the I tried to focus the contrast on the focal point (Altair, hopefully ), so..tell me how I did please

[hyrule]

@krutch-it

no i didnt use the tut. i did it all by myself 8) oh rightttt...

[Kemaru]

@Krutch-it: I like it. It has a nice blue color, and I like the background even though it could be a little clearer. I like his glow. The text looks a little wrong in my opinion. I mean, why did you make the glow red?

[Krutch-it]

@Kemaru: Because when it was just white letters, I could barely see it and I thought blue would make it even more invisible since everything else is blue. I guess I could've made the font one size bigger, eh? And, I think all I did with bg was jitter a copied render of Altair over it and put it in a different layer mode (like difference or something). Lol. Thanks for the feedback

[ackmin]

Main part is done, what should I add more ?

[Oraclefile]

I think mine are a bit to simple, but I will still show them

[eraser18]

@Oraclefile: It's a little hard to read the letters, but the fire that you made coming from them is pretty good. Work on making the letters easier to read. Keep it up, and welcome to the forums

[Oraclefile]

Thanks, I jsut forgot how I made those letter effects and I can't figure out how to reproduce it with better quality, so if you know how to do, it would help a lot.

[tribal-freak]

from what i see part of the letter effect is xor
