LFC4EVER Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks Max, Overkill and Speed Demon! Your compliments are always appreciated Well, recently i've noticed that a few people have been asking on how to make those photoshop style sigs. So, naturally i decided to give it a go myself. After an inspiring look at sigs by Robin-2k7 i have come up with this combo: I'm quite pleased with it. It was all done in PDN except for the stocks, which are: Torres Liverpool logo Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

007 Nab Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Hah - the first time I looked at it I didn't even notice the logo or render - lol - now that I see them the sig and avvy look completely different. Very, very good job on the new combo! Excellent color scheme, and I like the random light/smoke and text effects. Great job overall! Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever.

LFC4EVER Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 ... now that I see them the sig and avvy look completely different. Very, very good job on the new combo! Excellent color scheme, and I like the random light/smoke and text effects.Great job overall! Thanks Nab! Much appreciated What i've highlighted bold & italic, is not true . The avatar is just a cut-out from the sig. @Max: Well, in the stock i gave, Torres did have kinda long hair (took ages to cut-out, wish i had PS and Fluid Mask ) @Saabo: Thanks! The black hole/galaxy type thing started of as Clouds + Twist & Ctrl + Shift + Z, plus a transparency gradient to get it to fade out. ----- Well, after a few comments on the sig on TagFlow and a few opinions here, i decided to patch up the sig. I reduced the lighting on Torres, so he can be seen more clearly now. Also did a few colouring changes. I think its better now, but you guys are the judges Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Expiration- Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I think Nab means that they look different from before when he couldn't make out the person and logo, not that the two look different from each other. I really like it, except you covered up the person a way too much, imho. Quote Call me expired. Please.

LFC4EVER Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Thanks expired, but this was my first attempt at this type of sig, so i suppose with practice i'll get better and better. I might do another one tomorrow, taking on board your advice and see how it turns out. Or, i may even redo this whole sig, focusing on making Torres stand out more. I'll go back to the .pdn and see what i can do tonight, and see how it turns out. Thanks again expired. Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

LFC4EVER Posted August 6, 2008 Author Share Posted August 6, 2008 Thanks for the feedback on the Torres sig guys! Well, i made some leafy text now, i follwed a PS vector tut and did it in PDN. The .pdn is 3000x1000 in size, but i resized it down for the .png. Here's the tut: [link] Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

007 Nab Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Hah, looks like my other comment on this was inaccurate, as you've made a "super high resolution" version already. I think you need to upload it. Now. Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish. PDN Gallery | I Made a Deviant Art!

LFC4EVER Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Well, this is my second attempt at making a sporty photoshop style sig. I think its better than the first, considering i used no brushes. Its 100% PDN except for the stocks i used, which are listed at the bottom. I used these stocks: [*:1kwoc4kk]Clay Tennis court[*:1kwoc4kk]Grass Tennis court[*:1kwoc4kk]Nadal Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

slimjimmy23 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I like the chinese desktop background did you use the light rays and add a twist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 Thanks man! Yeah, it is just Light Rays + Twist, but i made it look kind of glassy.. ------------- Well, this time i re-thought the whole concept of making a photoshop style sig. After viewing a few tuts on a site that pipp92 linked me to on TagFlow, i went back and re-did my nadal sig.

Skitzo Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 alright I was looking and saw your sig ! Murray is awesome!. I too have a Murray sig. And i was wondering..um if you could give any tips? eh? Becasue yer sig..is just beautiful! haha. Quote deviantArt l gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well Skitzo, thanks for the comment on my Murray sig. Now for some tips on yours: [*:1laaqyr5]You've added an interesting background which is good, but it kind of drags attention away from Murray. Try making those white rain-like things less visible.[*:1laaqyr5]You need to make the render more clear. Try not to use too many effects on top of the render. [*:1laaqyr5]Use some light textures on the sig to make it seem more "vibrant". Just search for light textures on dA and you'll find many. [*:1laaqyr5]Add some interesting text, and a more clear and "undeformed" light source is needed.[*:1laaqyr5]Visit UniqueGfx or Player-art for tutorials on how to make these kind of sigs. Hope i could help, and good luck! Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Everything in this OS was done in PDN by me, except the folder icons (came without the stuff added on them - see stock link for clarification). Well, this is it: Stock: Folder's The shown image is also a link to an approximate life-size image of the OS in a Sony Ericsson C902 (made in PDN by me).
