DarkShock Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Actually, that's a lot better. The text is a little annoying, though. What do you suggest I do about the text? Should I use a different font, color, or placing?

Kemaru Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Instead of darkshock, try Dark Shock and place the text near her right eye.

DarkShock Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Instead of darkshock, try Dark Shock and place the text near her right eye. I guess I can try that. I just threw the text on there.

Kemaru Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Well a good advice is: If you don't know where to put text, don't put it at all. Poorly placed text can kill a good signature.

Xanthous Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 This is my go at an avatar. I was trying to give it that "arcane feeling" instead of a demonic. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I didn't want to do that and next thing I know somebody steels my sig and slaps their name on it somewhere else.

Blooper Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Real nice line tool work (I think?), but it doesn't really belong in this umbrella. Make a new thread.

Epicphail Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Meh. I didn't have any inspiration on the text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonlychad Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 nice use of effects! i like it a lot here is a new sig i made for use on an anime forum Quote "Clearly it's a very serious and literal meaning.

RHoward Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Looks good...anime isn't my interest, so I can't really critisize it, but it looks cool. Here's a paint brusch sig I made for some model building forums I'm on. I made this because everybody wants a painting tutorial from me, but I can't translate it quickly enough into German and Russian....so they get this for now The bristles came out better than I thought when I made them (The transparent checkerboard messes me up a lot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yy10 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 nice one. pretty realistic. I love it! you're a sig+realistic king/queen. anyone like my current sig? Quote deviantART sigs n stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkShock Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 It looks great. I can tell someone has been using my border tutorial. One again, your text is too big though...

yy10 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 yeah I used your border tut. the text is too big? i use 28px Quote deviantART sigs n stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkShock Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 i use 28px Yeah, that's kinda big. I guess it depends on the font you use, but 20px is usually a lot. I usually use 10px - 16px size for my text. Quote ---- Gallery | Sig Tutorial | deviantART | Sig Videos | PhotoBucket ----D E S T I N Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yy10 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 the thing is, if I the text is too small, you can't see it. some forums actually resize your sig, you know Quote deviantART sigs n stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkShock Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 It really depends on the color of the text and how it blends in with the sig. I basically only use black or white text on my sigs. Most of the time I will use white and then use drop shadow to make a small soft border around my text so it is readable.

RHoward Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 nice one. pretty realistic. I love it! you're a sig+realistic king/queen. anyone like my current sig? King. Nice sig. As I said before...but looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walrusworldstudios Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 What do you guys think of this one? It is a bit old of an avatar, but still, it looks pretty cool, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yy10 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 nice avatar wws. that's because the avatar is made for me and I rulez. but a bit to plain. add some more effects. Quote deviantART sigs n stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkShock Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 @walrusworldstudios: I can't point it out, but I feel like it's missing something. @sokagirl: i wonder where he gets the style from. I was experimenting with C4Ds and made this: Yes, I have used this render a couple times, but it was the best one I had that worked well with the C4D.

flip Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 It's pretty cool. I think the border is kinda weird, though. Quote Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blooper Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 DS, I don't know if it's because I have a CRT screen, but the C4Ds seem to have a lot of specks going on, or maybe that's frosted glass, I'm not sure. You could try smudging that off with a small soft brush. Good to see you didn't go for 100% blue this time Flip, how is the border weird? And also, is the texture in your sig a stockor smudging? It's really nice :o Quote http://synthastic.deviantart.com http://soundcloud.com/siderealenterprise Lockerz invites are available, PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
