Image Umbrella: Signatures, Avatars, Logos & Text

[TopHATslash]

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.

[Blooper]

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]

@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

[soul41]

It's PDN...

Link to tut

I skipped some steps, like the grain extract thing.

[Kemaru]

Hmm, that's a pretty good tutorial. I don't smudge like that though.

[Ego Eram Reputo]

@ 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!

Heh, thanks, I thought no one would notice it.

[Raptor_101]

@soul41: Very good looking abstract/smudge sig. It's very colorful and done right.

New one I did:

[soul41]

@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]

Ooh, I like that soul. The text seems out of place though. Good work on the colours.

[soul41]

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 ):

[jaug1337]

Have some I've made myself

[sokagirl]

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 ??

[soul41]

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

[wiirus]

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!

Now my 3 best (My best):

And my actual one:

[soul41]

@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:

[LFC4EVER]

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.

[Kemaru]

Is niec.

I don't like the border's though, and you could've added some "Elegance" in front.

[soul41]

@LFC: Great job. It looks so elegant and glossy. I have no problem with the border and think it fits well.

Another sig...

[KillerK]

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

[soul41]

The only part of it i dont like is the patch covering the mouth/neck/shoulder region it looks out of place to me.

It's part of the render.

[pophiri]

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:

[soul41]

@KillerK: It's nice, but I don't really like that blue.

Yay, another sig:

Couldn't think of any text

[tmds3]

My first image

soul41 nice pic I hope to get better by doing the diff tuts and make some like this

[Blooper]

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.
