Ok here are my first ever signatures. C&C much appreciated. I used tutorials for all of these, cause im not good enough without them. http://www.gamerenders.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=166014 http://www.gamerenders.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=188737 http://www.itsgameover.com/forum/uploads/1280fire.png One I made for my brother, also happens to be my favourite, grr:
if those are your first tags, you havewhat it takes to make good tags, they actually look decent bro, just remember to keep doing tutorials and expirementing with PS, to learn all the parameters ( im not even close........lol ) check the tut section for the topic " tutorial wetness ", great stuff there for you to learn. A few pointers I hope it helps you m8 =D 1 - blending, make the stock / render part of the BG by blending / erasing with a 65px softbrush at low opacity. 2 - when you add text, try to keep it together and small, so it doesnt steal the human eye away from the focal point 3 - try messing with adjustments more.........ie; color balances / gradient maps / levels / so on so forth 4 - try to utilize and learn all the filters, they can do some really neat things, and add a lot of flash to your tag. 5 - look for "DEFAULTS" tutorials, so you dont have to download brushes, PS already has the ones you really need I hope this helps bro, keep doing tuts and I'm sure you will be making awesome gfx in no time =D BTW i like the FMA tag ftw =)
Thanks man, really appreciate it! I have made 2 signatures before those, but I didnt use tutorials and I didnt like em, so I got rid of em. Once again, real glad you like them!
looks good for first sigs. although i would suggest using more tutorials till you find out enough. then try making your own sigs with the knowledge
I gotta agree, those are damn good for your first work, even from tutorials. done any graphics work before? it would seem like you're not unfamiliar with PS. keep it up and you'll be creating your own stuff in no time ^_^
Thanks a lot people. And craggyp: no the only times ive used anything close to photoshop was the 2 sigs i did not post or when i just added text to an image or resized objects, thats it ><
