I'm on trez almost 1 and a half year and I never thought of creating signatures or avatar. The first time I saw GM's tutorial I thought 'Ok. I will never be able to make a thing like that! O_O'.

But today friends like StarForce, hss and Black-Dragon (Not in this forum) helps me with that and I think that I am ready to do more. The sig in the other topic was my first test signature and it wasn't was that good. So this is my very first one. As I said beofre. The other one was just a test.

What do you think? ^^

Thanks ^^ I think I shall continue with other things. ^^ Not only Bleach. So here is one. I dunno if you like Stargate but I made one for my mother because she is a big Stargate fan.

I think I should add some words. The sigs I'm curently make have only 4 layers. 1. Text, 2. Render, 3. Brushes and 4. bg colour. I'm open for help. If someone could give me some tips or something like that, please tell me.

1) the render must look good with the background you make
2) sometimes mixing alot of colors can make out a very good sig

those are the only things i remember ATM

Wow! The first one is GREAT! The colors match and blend the render perfectly, and the effects are very good.

The second one is great too, just I would add some effects to the text, but it's ok.

If these are your first, they are actually VERY good.

There's actually different ways to brush to make it come out differently, one such example: 1. Brush black w/ 80% Opacity brush. 2. Brush white 50-80% opacity. 3. Brush black, set to overlay. 4. Brush white and set to overlay.
But of course, you have to experiment with this to make a good outcome.

I wouldn't go heavy on text effects, actually, no text effects at all would actually be better. This is because the text is not meant to be the focal of the sig.

Just brush for a while more, get used to filters, and work on blending.

When you get used to the filters and also color options, get away from brushing, and start into C4Ds.

With brushing, you can do a bunch of stuff and just go wild with effects and text. However, when you get to C4Ds and stocks, you start learning flow, lighting, depth, and 'real' effects.

That sounds ver confusing but I will download some C4D render now.

By the way. I was bored, joined a Kingdom Hearts forum and made a sig again. What do you think about it? The last one I did with the old method. I will try on C4D render now.

Reason for Double Post: Update

It took some time but now I made some things with colours (as far as I can handle it) and with C4D renders! That's my outcome(I made 2 because of colour differences):

1.

OK, I'm not trying to put you down or bash your sig, but:

-There is no border
-There is zero blending
-The text is huge
-The text is just plain white
-The background is just a copy and pasted C4D
-The render is choppy and very small for that size of a sig

I rate this a 2/10. HOWEVER, unlike most people, rather than just pointing out bad things I'm going to give some adive.

-Continue practicing. You don't have to post every sig you make, make a few just for practice.

-Use borders. A border is the difference between a good sig and a plain sig. If you don't know how to make a border then just let me know.

-Blend your renders. Many people don't know what blending is, so I'll tell you. Blending is making the background of the sig flow with the render. Pasting a render onto a pre-made background puts the quality of a signature way down.

-Use smaller text and add some effects. Text isn't the main focus of a signature, so make sure its at a good size. Also, its just as important for the text to flow with the background of as signature as it is for the render. Experiment around with some different text effects.

-Don't use just one brush set or one C4D when making a signature background. You need a variety of brushes and C4Ds to make a good background.

-Carefully pick the renders you use. Most people think a good graphics artist can use any picture they're given, but this is not the case. You need to use high quality renders inorder to make a high quality signature.

Sorry if I seem harsh, I am only trying to help out a fellow graphics artist. If you ever need any anything at all, don't hesitate to send me a PM.

Ok.... First of all I have to find a translator because I dun understand almost anything you posted Careno (sorry. I don't want to say anything wrong). After that I have to make my photoshop in english so I know where the options are for blending or anything else you said because I dunno the german translation of that. By the way. I wanted to add border but I haven't found the option to add one...

At least I have to thank you for your advices. I will try to make it all better and AFTER I made something I will pm it to you and if you think I haven't improved my skills than I won't post it. Is it ok?

Its in German? I'm surprised you've been able to make anything. And when you said you need a translator, did you mean for the terms I used?

Nope. Why do you think it's in german ^^ Cause I am german. Maybe you know why I said that part. I think this part can be removed because all I need is an english vwersion I think... As I said before, I will try it and sent it to you than.
