I Know, font is (again) very bad choise, and I messed up with the colors, but comments anyone? and rate too pls

Kay' as im the ass i will comment it. You won't hear good words, i will say what you did wrong, and what you did right.
Let us proceed.
First thing that i see in sig is background, it's too bright you could blur it a bit ~25 opacity soft round brush. It is too bright, you could also play with burn and dodge tools to make depht effect.
C4d is whored, you used too much of it, suggestion is to use little pieces of C4d it will look way better. Also C4d doesn't look good. It would look much better if it was behind the anime character with normal 100 opacity. It would gave effect that C4D comming right from behind.
Background and render don't look good with each other, next time when you do that kinds of the sigs use some Cold filter, or gradient map to give it more realistic look.
Text. Text is also need to be work on. Right now it's just a text without any work. My point is you should work at text eighter.
So i can wish you a luck in forward works.
NS

I'm going to be a bigger ass.

STOP

A few things wrong...
A) wtf is with the sizes of your sigs? 325x125 or so max, what you have is just too freakin huge
- why?--because the background is overwhelming
- secondly, because there is so much background it is too repetitive and boring (this wont always be, with time and more talent you will find ways to make the background beautiful no matter how much of it there is.)
B) Text needs to be different and moved closer to the render
C) I couldn't find a C, but because im an ass there is a C, congratulations...

A few things right...
A) the render is nearly right, it has action, it has some contrasting color, yet it needs to abide by the rule of thirds, anyway...not bad
B)c4d usage is better, but would like to see more
C) I gave you a wrong C so here is a right C...


Ok so now that I've calmed down, its not bad considering what I did when I first started, you are on a decent path.

Try moving away from anime/manga and into gaming renders or real images. Ditch the picture backgrounds and use solid colors as a starting point.

Looking forward to the next one. Good luck!

I could add to that, that text should be near focal point. Text can't disctract from focal. Keep that in mind

What's wrong with big sigs? :S
I think it's just fine...


I like it, the problem is:
1)Again, the background is 'messy'
2)And i think u messed up the layers again :O

Anyways, keep going!

Don't see a problem with the canvas size, problem is when someone makes every one of theirs like 500x80, that's pretty hard to work on and hard to define anything
Depth is lacking but it would be pretty hard to make any now.. Only way imo is to make some foreground effects and burn the edges
And don't blur anything, you want your effects sharp and appealing
Oh and guys, you don't have to start your comment with 'ok I'm an ass blablabla', chill.

burn the edges

Yeah, use lighter and after u done burn slightly ur moniter

It's tool you can easy find in on left side on the tool bar

in Photoshop? im using GIMP...

You can use a soft black brush as well, but use it wisely. >_>

I have been using Soft black/white brush with opacity up to 20 max (depents on the looks). After i found burn&dodge tool never used those again

I would like to see some of your recent works. I don't see a reason for you to act cocky by looking at your older works.

Noobs didn't you say you were leaving SRF? Why are you back? Stop making yourself the ass and try to move away from that label. You are pissing me off with your constant bitching and moaning. Instead of scrutinizing someone else's work go work on your own skills. Guess what? Your ass will get burnt if you keep on telling the world that people labeled you as an ass because no one gives a shit.

Hey I think he was joking
He did post another sentence of what it really is..

There's nothing wrong with a big canvas size, its just a matter of composition.

All I can say, seeing as your a little new to the GFX'ing scne is it lacks depth, so it makes it look flat. Keep it up though and keep practicing.

On the side note, I recommend downloading Photoshop and start experimenting with tutorials. I'm not exactly sure how far you can get with GIMP.

My carecup is empty --->\_/ see? I don't care what you think. Most of ppl who are here just kissing the ass of others with good words, without objective rate of the sig? Acting cocky? lawl screw you im expressing my oppinion. If you don't like it go kill yourself. And i won't start another word war with another 12 years old kid :> so just die, burn in hell and do not spam

Most people in here are giving constructive criticism. But you are acting like an asshole and thinking that you are better than everyone and know more about photoshopping than everyone else which is not true. You are still novice (I'm not saying that I'm better than you).

Also I'm not saying that you are not allowed to rate works here. But you could do it in less agressive way.



And if you would have been more active here you would know that TheKnight is using GIMP not PS which makes your statement completely invalid and the cocky tone of it useless.

Agressive? NOT!
So, you are saying that i can't joke, and yes i saw that TheKnight is using GIMP, i assume that it's almost the same, because i believe Gimp has burn dodge tools as well, if not throw at me a shoe!
Well someone recently asked why AC is dead
The answer would be quite simple. They prolly do not saying their comments loud because afraid of pointless conversation like this. Yes i agree that im still novice, but if i had much more time than i have now i would post some of new works. I won't do that because i fail every time i make new sig. You can criticize my works how do you want. Anyhow GL

I see that we have very different opinnion on what is constructive criticism. How I see things is that you are supposed to act as teacher when it comes to rating sigs. You are not supposed to make ironic or even sarcastic jokes about artist who has just started creating something we could call art.

Also by looking at your statement you obviously didn't know that he was using GIMP. Since GIMPs toolbar is completely different from PS'.

You sure are acting like one.. If you don't care why do you post... or even better if you don't care why post a critique in the first place....
Telling stuff like that is not cool man..... Find another way of 'expressing your opinion' and cut the flaming as it doesn't make you seem badass, it makes you look like a really spoiled kid. And still you're ignorant, not even trying to read other people's posts so you make such comments as 'kissing eachothers ass with good words'.. How are your critiques any better when in many cases they are awkwardly wrong. Don't corrupt this nice little place with your ignorance, even better just leave when someone more serious hits the nail right on again. No one will miss you with that attitude..

Ok I am ignorant, spoiled child, if it is what you think it is fine with me. Then tell me, why do .Banshee guy started to flame about the joke i said before? Tell me whats wrong with my criticizm, i did not said anything bad or insulting, just a small review of my thoughs. Please, undermark any bad words in first comment of this topic i really would like to see.
By the way im rating sigs the way i rate in other forum, others do exactly the same. I simply criticize main things that i liked and disliked about the work, but as far as i see my posts are like little time bomb, everyone starting to freak out and posting dumb comments. And if you really insist i will not express my thoughs on .Banshee's and your works. Happy?

Just wow
Every thread i see noobs, it's filled with flames..
Call the firemans!

It is not my fault, trouble chase me all day long. Well yeah, isn't that what srf is about?
for example:


lol

Leave the forums then, don't whine about it
And hey, I didn't say the joke was that bad, the comment you made afterwards gave you a minus! I don't think you even read and understand anyones posts here as the point was made a few times, it seems as you just ignore it and speak as if you are flooded with positiveness, especially after that flaming reply to Banshee (and the rest I guess). He made the point clear, I repeated it and you continue your lame arguing.. Oh and didn't you say you don't want to 'argue with another 12 year old'? Then shut up already....

The background is way too messy, and you should not use any text. But.. I like your color Just the way it is.

7/10

I would leave forums, but right now im just jumpin' time to time in AC, GD. Well and .Banshee started teh shyte, and for standing my ground im being flamed. Epic.
EDIT:
And i understand everything what everyone say, it seems THEY do not understand my thoughs.
/On Topic -> You have my comment, won't post here more.

OMGAD!!!Noobs says he doesn't want to exchange words with 12 year olds. Like I haven't heard/read that one before. This will be my last post that I am wasting addressing you, but take my advice. You are not the shyt in this forum or any forum, nor will you ever be the shyt. So STFU and get your head out your ass, please believe that the mods will be hearing about this. But please Noobs consider committing suicide hmmmmm? Mkaaaaayyyyy!

Noobs, I'm not 12, LETS GO BITCH. Oh btw, Noobs you suck so much at Photoshop, I can even beat you. ^_^

Some critiques lacking credibility are hard to absorb thus counting useless.
