ORLY?
Point me in the direction of someone you see with a style like mine?
I've only seen 3 other graphic artists at the most that can smudge like i can.
Agent Orange, Hellpark, and Prodigy. Although I admit im sure there are more, not enough to make it a common style.

and there are many different styles displayed in the tags shown.

here? few people use that style. This is more of a "retro" place =P go to gfx forums like Gamerenders, Animerenders or Stealthart and you'll see that your style is pretty common. Actually, 90% of the gfxers at those forums use that style of yours.

It's just here, the audience prefer the "old" style tags and they really like the tags people create here.

A couple of them are a bit too busy. The fourth one makes my eyes bleed, for example. :P I like the simpler ones, though, like the eighth on.

That "old" style youre referring to, consists of ugly filters and Overpronounced text in most of the tags i see here.
I don't mean all of you of course. just a majority.

and i have been to gamerenders, i dont use a similar style to them.
they all use the same whored styles, and as i said before i displayed many different styles in those.
The only ones that can really be called a mainstream style that i used is that yellow and black robot tag and the oddworld one. =/

And still i see not many people that can smudge like me. including the artisticgfx, gamerenders, planetrenders, and surrealpixels communities.

you sound terribly cocky. No offense...but i know a lot of people who can smudge better.

besides, you heard the audience. Your tags made roto's eyes bleed because they're too busy.

and btw, people here actually like that "old" style so you can stop dissing those styles.

Nice I love how you blended all of them!

Rostum

IMO, they are way too busy and the blending isn't that great. And get over yourself, mate.

.:Cloud4ever:.

I dont really care what i sound like over the internet to be honest.
I just say it like it is.

... Roto has no room to talk about my tags, I took a look at his thread.

And yea, i used to love those old styles too, back before i knew anything about art composition.
=/ now just looking at my old stuff makes me feel dumb.

And your opinion on who smudges better than me doesnt really count much to me now does it. :P

Nice sigs, but they are boring. Just cause people don't make better work than you or similar to yours it doesn't mean that they have no opinion on your work. Like how you said about Roto, he might be able to make better than you but he likes his own style. In general, I don't like the sound of how you look down on the graphics here, some people here are very talented and do some great work. I for one can smudge like you and maybe even better but I just like my own style now, so I wont go imitating anyone. This is an example. here people are original and it wont look how you just kinda insulted us here.
If you go to Greycobra you'd be shocked at how great graphical people there are.
Anyway, no matter how we go high no one is lower than us.
I like your sigs btw, they have nice colors and render positions. GJ.

Your sigs are so confusing in a way...Maybe you refer to it as an art.But to me honestly it isn't safe for people's eyes...well Roto is one of them...and count me in since the silver surfer one is really hurting my eyes.You might say I'm unable to smudge like you but if just by looking your sig makes people dizzy why bother doing it...Anyway Good luck.

Oh...and the most basic thing of a sig...your sigs are borderless XD

So why did you make a thread exactly? You obviously don't want feedback. You know, being the greatest sigmaker in the universe you don't need the input of us peons. This sounds more like a worship thread than anything.

Yeah, I'm not as good at making sigs as you are. You'll get no argument from me there. But that doesn't make your own sigs any less cluttered.

Maybe lots of people can smudge like you can. They just know better than to do it.

No offence...but I agree on the worship part...you worship your own sigs...or you own abilities..Anywya the 7th sig is the best of all.

Uh.. No.

Thank you Owen, for giving your comment in a respectful manner.
I've never been to greycobra before so i wouldnt know.

And i would love feedback, if some people here could give me comments on how to improve my tags based on art composition.

@Andrew; Not everything needs a border. If you had read my earlier post then you might understand why.

You think it's an old style...?Well Owen have border on his sigs too...atlanteay and Roto...and many more of them..and it's nice.

.:Cloud4ever:.
03-22-2007, 02:20 AM
Wrong again.
I never said having a border was an old style.
=/
i said its unnecessary if you can keep the viewers eyes from wandering off canvas.

atlanteay
03-22-2007, 02:39 AM
i have to agree on the no border thing. I can't understand why every time i make something without a border, loads of people would comment on how it's borderless. Really, a borderless sig doesn't make it bad looking or anything. Some borders actually ruin a sig so being borderless isn't a flaw. Actually, this borderless thing is very big here at EoFF because i've seen several sigmakers not use borders in the amazing sigs and be criticized about it.

back to feedbacks. I really like how your tags have a definite depth to them. I can easily tell what's in the front and what's distantly behind something else. However, some are just a little too busy.

.:Cloud4ever:.
03-22-2007, 03:20 AM
Thanks.
Depth was something that was always really pushed onto me.
No depth in a tag meant getting flamed lol

NaroK
03-22-2007, 07:08 AM
I like your latest one and the Aguilera one the most. One thing though on this forum your filesizs are too big even your current one is. gj non the less and woot no borders!:D

Leeza
03-22-2007, 07:22 AM
I like your sigs. I don't think that they're busy, but posting them all together without any space in between does appear to make them lso. One by one I think they are quite nice.

However, like NaroK has pointed out, if you're going to use them on this site make sure you follow the sig limits or they will be removed.

*does so*

It's ok, glad we reached a good point in the end. =)
And do visit Greycobra, they are so cool and it's a huge site.

Now for the comments: My fav. by far is the 6th one, it has some good smudging, a style I like honestly. The others have good depth like Lant has said, but a bit too busy, yes.

As for borders, I put the least 1pixile black around just so to avoid criticizing cause people tend to leave the work and point out the borderless sig. :rolleyes2
Anyway, I hope to see more work from you, good luck.

Oh, and try to make them smaller in filesize. If you need help in that I know a good trick. ;]

atlanteay
03-26-2007, 04:02 AM
the reason your sigs are so big is because they're PNG and i know why you use them a lot because PNG is awesome. However, this place has a lame filesize restriction >.< so just save in JPG.

I never said my fav sig out of all them did i? I like the Bleach one the best because it has depth, great lighting, and doesn't look very busy.

oh yeah, why not join the sig competition to further prove your skills? link can be found in my sig.

really like the eureka one because..it's well, eureka xD

I also like the two robot tags because it's really clean looking yet stylish and professional. GJ

Owen Macwere
03-29-2007, 02:19 PM
Yes, these are really great. I like the robots tags they are so original and good looking. I love C4Ds, they make the work look professional. GJ.
