Haha fooled you, no pron for you! ... ok maybe just a little (^)(^), but thats all you get! Anyways, C and C this. I used a lot of new effects, and the one I really like is going to Filter>Distort>Glass and using the texture Blocks and keeping the default settings. Ok nuff said, here it is: Have at her, another one of my grunge sigs!
Looks pretty nice. I wish I could still do stuff like this. I haven't been active for a while and I've lost all my skills. I love it.
Thanks Aukatrau. Yeah, well when I first left GR, everyone was using brushes for the bg's, and all the really old school techniques. Then when I came back, people were using all of the new techniques, and it took me like a month to adapt well enough and get to where I am, but its really easy once you get the hang of it.
Yes, I suppose with practice I could get good again. At first all I used to do were sigs with brushes and they turned out pretty nice. But then one day people were telling me that using brushes is for noobs and I have to move on. So I did. I then used smudging and lots of filters and that stuff turned out nice. I have no idea what you guys are doing nowadays, but at any rate it looks nice.
Yeah, people are still smudging and using filters now and days. But I still have my own unique style that I always use that I refuse to share with anyone else.
text sticks out like a saw thumb imo so make it smaller and less visible, also the tag seems a little chaotic with the bits on either side of the render. the render could be blended into the bg a bit more, work on the bg more and it seems a little saturated unless my comps playin tricks on me..
Work on blending and colouring. And I'm pretty sure I can guess your "secret techniques/style" that you "wont share with anyone".
