I finally decided to start a topic, since I actually got around to making another sig... I couldn't think of anything for the other Lethe picture, so I ended up making one with Soren instead. It's still pretty bad, just like the last one, but... at least the background isn't quite as plain, I guess.



Posted Image




...Also, if anyone is wondering, attempting to render that Soren picture on my own was so difficult that I eventually gave up and just looked for one on the internet. >_>

http://planetrenders.net/renders/displayimage.php?pos=-5853

That's the site I got it from.

Yaye, you made a topic.

It's not bad, but I think the lightning distracts from the render. Maybe remove it or at least reduce its opacity. The wind sort of thing is nice, but since it's bright it might need to get dulled down a bit too. Also, try some more contrast with the render.

I have the same render saved somewhere in my pc. Never got to use it because I'm lazy and don't practice.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by more contrast with the render, but... I made two more versions, one with the lightning more transparent, and one without the lightning. I reduced the saturation of the background in both of them, too.

...They still look pretty bad, though. Maybe I should just give up on this sig and try something else. >_>

I like the one without the lightning the best.
Then the original.
I find the transparent lightning just looks awkward, like it's there, but you don't want it there?

I like the one without lightning.

I meant take the layer the render is on and go through whatever menus (since I don't have PS I dunno which exactly) to turn the contrast for that layer up.

The sig is too big, IMO. Too much useless space around Soren, who is also too big. Should've found a smaller pic of him. >_>

I like v1 better. It would be cool if some of the nice lighting effects were over the render, to make it blend better.

Also, what I said in Ruggy's topic about text:

If you are going to write that much try to give some font and size variation, and maybe change color of important words.

I know the text isn't very good, but... I honestly didn't know what to do to make it look any better. Every filter I've tried either ruins it or has no effect at all. >_>

I suppose I should try to use some text tutorials to improve, but... I can't seem to find any, really. >_>

I don't think these are horrible, so I don't see where you think they're so bad >>

Truthfully, the faded lightening pic was my favorite of the Sorren bunch, but I'm just weird like that >>

I really like the first version of Rug's sig you made ^^ I think I actually like the text most about it. I dunno, maybe I shouldn't even really post anything. I don't know too much about that kind of stuff anyway ^^"

The improvement from the Soren ones to the Rugter's is astonishing to me. I like the text as well. Contrary to what Kratos said, I find when you use different fonts for important words, it often takes away from it (although sometimes it works, it has to be done right, and a lot of times I don't like it). I like both versions of the new one.

You don't need to worry about that, really. Even if you don't know much about this, that doesn't mean your opinion is worth less than anyone else's.

This is a sig I made using a tutorial Wirt showed me a couple of days ago...


Posted Image


...How I managed to mess up so much with a tutorial, I have no idea. >_>

I know that the text is especially bad, just like last time, so I also made a version without it.

Posted Image

The text in the tutorial looks pretty good, and I was hoping to get an effect like that, but... for some reason, blending options never work well for me. >_>

That's the tutorial, if anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong.

Wtf, just put "i phail at laif" in your sig and that way you don't have to say it everytime you post, I don't even understand how you can actually think that's bad. >_> I like it more than the tutorial, actually, I think it just needs some colour adjustments so that the render, bg, and text work better together. Don't ask me what specifically, I'm too sleepy to focus properly. >_>

Well, I could change it to use the same font and effects as the Yoda text, and see if that looks better.

You can, really. You just need to learn how to use GIMP, and then find some good tutorials to follow.

Trust me, if this sig does look good, it's not because of any talent of my own. >_>

...To be honest, I really don't know how to adjust colors very well, except for basic things like changing the brightness and saturation. >_>

I suppose I should have sharpened the render, though, since I had to enlarge it.

I made that by following this tutorial. I have no idea if I did everything right, since there's no example of what it's supposed to look like in that tutorial, so I'll just assume it turned out like it's supposed to. >_>

I know it's pretty dull and unimpressive, but... I suppose the general technique could be useful later, anyway.



I was planning to make something a little more fancy, but I can't find any decent renders from the games and anime I've been looking for, so I just decided to give that tutorial a try since it didn't require anything other than Photoshop.
