After almost a year hiatus from Photoshop, I've made some new sigs, which turned out better than I expected.

This first one still ain't that great, I'm only really satisfied with what I did the render, but the background and text certainly could be better.



This one, however, I really like. Read a tutorial and tried out some new techniques, and this was the result. I really need to learn how to make awesome text still, though.

I think they both look great!! I like the faded-ness of the text in the first one (I know, I'm obviously a photoshop genius, what with my extensive photoshop vocabulary...)

[NovemberRain]

These are veryy nice! n_n I love how the second onee's eye matches with the background. They both look awesome.

The only thing is that I feeel like the first one should have a border or something around it, but that's probably just me. :P

[Hobbies230]

Thanks! I actually meant to put a border on the first one, but I forgot....

Man, You could've gone into Graphic design.

Ha, thanks, but I'm nowhere near artistic enough for that. The sigs that actually turn out right are mostly by luck.

So for some reason I'm on a Photoshop rampage. Just finished this up:



Not bad. I think I'm getting closer to making my text suck less, which is my main goal right now.

[Felicia]

I like it! The text is nice, I like the gradient (?? I think that's what they called the whole blendy thing when I took photo class...?)

Ugh I wish I had more time to use random photo editor I have on my desktop...but part of the reason I don't is because it's not on my laptop, so I'd have to actually stand up and walk downstairs, sit down at the computer and use that one. Maybe if I get some inspiration today??

[Hobbies230]

Thanks! Also, I'm totally going to use the phrase "blendy thing" now (a gradient is a transition of color, by the way).

You should dabble with the program you have! It's quite fun, and the best way to learn is to just tinker around and read some tutorials, of which there are plenty of out there.

[Aristotle]

Hey Hobbies, you wannaaaa make me one?

[Hobbies230]

I'd love to! Any specific character/person/whatever you want in it?

Made ANOTHER one. I seriously don't know what's getting into me, and I really, really don't know how I picked this up after such a long time and began producing my best sigs. Very odd.



I think that's the first text I've been really satisfied with. Think I'm getting it down!

[Dr. House]

Text has always been a killer for me, I think there's only been one time that I've ever actually been satisfied with a font I've used. Veyr nice work though, i'm still sitting over here with PDN doing a whole lot of nothing.

[Felicia]

Awwwe isn't it the best when you pick up something again and find you're even better than before? They're looking better and better (to my untrained eye )

[NovemberRain]

The newer ones are great! I especiallly like the colors on the one before the last one. Very pretty ^^

I haven't made anything in foreverrr... don't think I remember how to make graphics anymore. x3

I'm finding that simplifying the text is the way to go. I used to try fancier looking fonts and add effects like shadows and glows, but those tend to really screw up the blending and take away from the focus.

Anyway, thanks a bunch, y'all!

[Hobbies230]

Gotta couple of new ones. Fairly proud of this first one, though now that I look at it more I'm starting to hate the text. I had an idea, but it didn't turn out so well.



Much more happy about this one.

[NovemberRain]

Once again, they're both awesomee. I actually really like the text on the first one. :3

[Hobbies230]

Thanks, Nov! I think I should have maybe chosen a different font, that's the main thing that bugs me.

[Felicia]

I agree with Nov, I like the text on the first one! I especially like the little thing in the O that I'm not gonna bother trying to name

[Hobbies230]

Thank you, Felicia! When I was making the first one I think I just deemed it the "stick through the O."
