So this is it,when i made this I had something special in mind,the Kanji I used there means "Mystery" as Kakashi is as a very mysterious character. I really need critique on this since im not sure about the background and the coloring of the kanji. I believe that the Background might be too flashy and filled with effects,also i could try to reduce the size of the clipping mask,or reduce the total amount of clipping masks(4 actually,might take 2 out) Since the Kanji is somewhat of a focal point I originally wanted it to stand out more than it actually does,but i just didnt find any ways to do so... I also believe that it might be of interest,that this is my very first sig and also the first time im working with photoshop at all,I just read a couple of tutorials and based this on them. Well with all that being said, CnC away ^_^
You've really covered up your render pretty bad here, the effects are cool,and the placing is good, but theres alot you can improve upon I suggest tutorials, flow, depth, and text placement/integration are going to be your main focuses for practice I can tell you have a good idea about what you want to do, but look around the forums a bit and work on some stuff, I'm sure you'll get better here ^_^
need to really work on blending and effects...need to bring your focal out more so we can see it and work on depth. good start...rework it and let's see a V2!!
You really covered that render a bunch, hun. I would work on bringing the render out more. Right now, it's hard to tell what it is. =/ Good start though! I wanna see a V2. ^_^
thanks for all the feedback i'll try to work on it today dunno if i got the time to get it done today,tomorrow i will be sure to post a v2 tough! here's the reworked V2 im kinda still not satisfied so a V3 will most likely be coming as well -.-' Can't find a good looking simple font...someone got an idea on that?
Looking at V2, there are definitely some improvements here, however, your flow and texture seem to offset one another....creating a "chaotic" atmosphere... If you want a simple text...you could always go with any default text....Like Times New Roman....or Helvetica..... But where was I? Yes, to fix some of your flow problems, try to have the focal point fixated into a position where it isn't competing with the rest of the canvas....Where Kakashi is now...its like you added him on as an after thought more so than creating a background complimenting him.....
I did add this one at the end,because the render i had before got like...totally messed up,no need to describe this in detail,belive me its really messed up... Then again i dont think I Completely understand what u mean by "competing with the rest of the canvas" If u got the time,please explain in detail how exactly they are competing,as I don't understand it. As for not adding any text,that's quite the idea,i just removed the text in PS and to me,it looks a whole lot better now :lol: gonna do the V3 tomorrow as its 4 am and im tired now... shouldnt have turned PS on,i'm kinda addicted I guess.... anyway there we go V3 without texts...
The kanji doesn't really work well with the signature, 1st of all, u never see Kakashi write at all in the manga/anime. and secondly, why is it a "heaven" kanji. Doesn't really make any sense imo.
first off,I don't really have the skill to read kanji,thus i relied on resources to find out what which kanji meant... here I found out that the kanji I used means "Mystery" and not "Heaven" Resource of course this resource could be wrong,but please don't blame me,give me the real "Mystery" Kanji instead! The fact that Kakashi doesn't write actually doesnt quite make the kanji not fit into or does it? I at least believe not,since I want to describe a large part of his Life,which is Quite the Mystery,if I'm not mistaken. Then what I also want to do by Using these Kanji is giving my Tags some kind of a "Unique Feeling" as most of the Tags I've seen as of now don't have any Kanji in them,so I'm also using these as a means of identification and you want me to leave them out? Sorry I won't do that.
