You're the pathetic person here, you can't even google a tutorial. And when I finally give the comments they aren't good. You need to learn handling critics.

anyway, ignore that guy. Where did you get the brush ( i assume its a brush) for that thingy in ur sig? its nice. i wants it.

Brushes are cool and that, but here's a little tip: beware of how u use them. In ur sig, u just brushed it at a diagonal angle. However, the brush u used is more of the picture type, therefore, it would probably look better if u stamped it. Also, bring the render to the front, and have ppl focus on the render instead of brush (it's kind of hard to see render, but brush is lighter color, so ppl looking at it will look at brush and text instead of render, which should be ur focus). Anyways, u've still improved, just keep on trying ^^

Made a new sig, it even has a border The only thing which i didn't do, was adding effects. Since i thought they would mess it up + i don t know which effect does what.



Rate plz

Here, a tutorial.

Blyth has his own style when making sigs dont change it by showing him a tut that hundreds of people have used, if he likes his sig then its good if you dont like it thats only your opinion theres a difference between a critic and a jerk and Remco you are no critic. Critics give helpful advice they dont say 'OMG that sux' or 'LOL thats the worst thing ive ever seen read a tut'

I think blyth siggy are good , thought no need to complain him about it anyway if u dont like people signature then u wont came here . I think everyone's sgn are always GOOD as it look and alots of people in here always come to the forum and never say anything nice except complaining people about the thread they posted and thier signature look ugly or not nice ... Well , i think this is just a forum to see thread and not a place for -Signatrure Contest - So i think everyone have a best signature for their own and ... so yea Blyth siggy are very GOOD thought i will put 9/10 to it .

Erm... that is NOT his own style. They are BRUSHES, brushes that did not make. And you can only compromize your own style if you already know the basics, which he doesn't.

True, they aren't his own brushes.. however is that image you used in your signature yours? Did you goto that basketball game and take that photograph, then go home scan it and render it?

It is his own style, which with a little fine tuning could become a very nice style. Blyth keep it up man.. I know what Remco is saying about knowing the basics but don't get sucked into following tutorials to a T. The point of signatures is creativity, and if you just follow other people's tuts for everything it's pointless.

Made a new one, i like it Hearing tips

Basics = tutorials. If you look at his sigs, they are all ugly and the same style. It's true that render isn't mine, but you can't compare a render to brushes, it's totally different. I still added the effects to the render, I changed the render. He didn't do anything with the brushes, he just brushes, contrasts, puts his render in, and look at his 1337 sig which just is nothing.

For the last f***ing time REMCO STFU, and i never said my sig's are 1337, geez, i have spent on ps only like a week. And once more STFU

Lmao.

I agree tutorials do teach most of the basics, but if he doesn't want to use them he doesn't have to.

Think back to when you started Remco, you've most likely gone to deviantart a few times for brushes in your day. I admit brushes are a little outdated now but everyone's gotta start somewhere.

That's exactly why I never use tutorials. If he used that he would have an identical sig to everyone else on those "sig of the week omg pwnage" forums.

You know, criticism from everyone is usually accepted. But, looking at your sig, you aren't exactly the one to be talking shit.

I've looked through this thread and i've read most of your posts. I've seemed to miss what your argument is? Why exactly are you posting here?
You have your c&c, and now you still post in the thread to...pump your ego?

yah my siggies suck in comparison to blyth's and i've been using ps for like a whole year.

wait make that two...


Idk.

OF COURSE I was never good with colors + Did'nt start following a few tut's to learn basic shit until like...ERM.. not too long ago...

(omeegawrsh siggy time.)




That was for a person I know...
she liked it at least so you can all bugger off if you don't.


YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FOLLOW TUTS!!! HUH??? HUH!?!?!?!


ALOT OF MY SIGS ARE [identical] SO YARGH!!! Don't follow tut's to a T. as was stated earlier. Now i need to mess, mess, mess around in ps until I can get out of this slump im in...

oh well by the time i get to art college i'll be decent enough. plus im gonna major in 2d animation anyway so what do i care if my ps skills aren't up-to-date.

GOOD JOB ON YOUR SIGS BLYTH. they're like mine.

wow.. she's posing beautifully, and looks good in that sig... She prob does without the sig too, but i got no reference on that etc.

Anyway..

I quote myself and ask again:


I mean that abstract white cool looking thing..

Yes she's very pretty in real life as well.

Though I dun suppose she'd want me showing off her picture on websites shes never even been to nor heard of without her permission. (I mean the real picture that the sig was made from.)

Though, like most teenage girls, she's always saying "oh im so ugly." hahahaha.

THANK YOU!, thats what i was trying to point out kinda



eek thats what happened to me almost a week ago, i made a sig following a tutorial with a tutorial pack (includes brushes, render) so i thought i might as welll try it and i thought my results were pretty good so i posted it here and every1 said i either copied it or stole it lol, but the thing is i read the tutorial like 2 months ago and i wanted to try that style again but this time with that sexy prince of persia render so i went n got it

eh yes blyth, your good for a beginner

Lol thx I'm no wondering about bg now, since i only brush bg Haven't used any effects yet, can any1 tell me how to make your bg look better, not only brushed

I try to put different levels of gaussian blur on the different layers. The closer the layer is to the "front" of it, (i.e. the more that certian layer pops out) the more blur is needed. But this isn't always a good idea....

Also when doing grunge brush bg's dont forget to go to 'color balance' which is obvious i presume, and also tweak shadows, highlights, and midtones or w/e it's called again. So you can get brighter more "poppy" colors.


(I didn't do that for my current sig.)

other than that you really shouldn't ask me cuz we're at the same lvl of "ps skills". hahahahah.

They're just a bunch of shapes mixed together. Use the custom shape tool to see the different shapes you can use.

again foo' this shit ain't a sigga contest duh ~~

Eh, used brush and then blur :S made something like this <_<



Help requested

Nobody is treating it like a sig contest, it's constructive criticism to help Blyth out..

Used some blending option on everthing i could lol: text, bg, and the main pic But still waiting for a helping advice

ARGH!!! DAM YOU BLYTH!!!!!!


how do you make the render stand alone like that and the other shit stay behind him all tiny and whatnot...


thats alot like that one sig I saw for some blackhand, oblivion, guy, thing guild, or whatever.


so again.



how do you make the render stand alone like that and the other shit stay behind him all tiny and whatnot...

What do you mean? You mean the way the pic pops out? If so, then it's easy you just need transparent bg.

yeah....


....How do I get transparent bg??!?!?!?!


CUZ like uhmm....


....If you want me to ctrl+x to make it transparent then thats lies cuz that'll save out as blank white space. can you explain to me better how to make the pic, like your venom character, on that son gouku lll, pop out like that? I'll do that for my lvl 3x's sig.



Puullllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzeeee?!?!?!?!
