R3VENGE Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Its just my style... thats like me asking why dont you guys use stocks more? And trust me it is much harder to do with a stock... just go to a real GFX site and get you're sigs rated they wont be higher then novice... ash would probably get an intermediate rating (seeing as pro and high ratings only go to friends cos thier all stuck up and are all....i wont cary on ) your sigs are great but seriously try making a sig without stocks or renders sometimes its hard to find inspiration can you give me some tips on blending? i usually use smudge in gimp to smudge but on this forum i only use pdn so :? psn id: R3V-fiR3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And trust me it is much harder to do with a stock... just go to a real GFX site and get you're sigs rated they wont be higher then novice... So what? No offense (mark that term), but to me your sigs are copy paste and adjust. Maybe a few effects on the background, but that's it. I'd rather do something myself and say it's my sig than get praised for something I didn't make entirely. http://synthastic.deviantart.com http://soundcloud.com/siderealenterprise Lockerz invites are available, PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can help if you want. Try using the clone stamp to copy the edges of the render onto a new layer.. then blur, distort, and erase until you find something you like!

It takes HOURS to make sigs like these in PdN.. and especially to get a nice background/deph. There's a lot more then "adjusting the render". You have to use custom brushes, blurring, lighting. And your saying you rather make one from scratch, yet, you have a render/stock in your current sig! :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And your saying you rather make one from scratch, yet, you have a render/stock in your current sig! :? Sorry, in my mind, renders aren't the same as stocks. To me, stocks are something you use because it looks cool in the sig. Renders on the other hand are something you use because others will recognize it. You can't make a Spiderman sig without a Spiderman pic, hence the render. I never said anything about adjusting the render. Lighting falls under adjusting to me. Blurring falls under effects. The underlined part is, simply, wrong. You don't need to use custom brushes. http://synthastic.deviantart.com http://soundcloud.com/siderealenterprise Lockerz invites are available, PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopHATslash Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Um... yeah.. you do. PdN Doesn't offer smudging, so.. yeah, you do. Renders are a different style art. It's more for the tag maker, then the normal artist. Not many people do both, and it's hard to master both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about downloaded brushes, not ones that you made yourself. http://synthastic.deviantart.com http://soundcloud.com/siderealenterprise Lockerz invites are available, PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 You can't make a Spiderman sig without a Spiderman pic, hence the render. I'm not saying who's point of view are right or wrong. But this statment is just simply not true. Blooper gets a little smack in the head with by Ash...

Champjev Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Dude... no offense but you know so little about sig GFX... sigs dont need text... seriously just go find real gfx sites.. and knowledge you're self... because I would love to see you make this kind of stuff using PDN...

Blooper Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Do you just post for showing us your work, or for criticism? I said it lacked text because it felt empty. But you clearly don't like that, so goodbye. http://synthastic.deviantart.com http://soundcloud.com/siderealenterprise Lockerz invites are available, PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champjev Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 How is it empty with all of the effects.. you just need basic gfx knowledge before giving proper critisism that is all i am saying.. and I post my work for both.. and I can and am allowed to have opinions on critisism... Again all I intended was to get some GFX knowledge because it is easy to see you do not have much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
