I have been going absolutely signature crazy this week.

I havent been photoshopping for a while, but saw an intresting request in the Signature Forum, so I made one...and now I cant stop!

Ive been doing loads of tutorials to learn new things, and these are what I have so far.

Any criticism is welcomed, as Im trying to improve :)

Their excellent mate. I especially love 1 and 3. I love the way you've coloured the grids on the first sig and I love the strokes on the 3rd one.

I think the first, third and fourth images blend perfectly with the background. The second one is ok, but I prefer the others. Good job!

Hehe, I have done more than that. What I meant when I said "I havent been photoshopping in a while" is that I used to do it alot, then stopped. Now Ive started it back up again :)

Thanks for your comments guys! :love:

Thanks again for your comments guys :love:

Urm, I really think it depends on what program your using..

I use Photoshop, so I begin by brushing the background with some custom brushes. I'll then insert my render and resize it. To give the background some colour I duplicate the render layer, apply a motion blur, and then duplicate that a few more times. You can then move those across the sig, merge them, and set the layer to "Overlay" That will then add some colour to the background layer.

I hope that makes sense :/

The best thing to do is look for some signature making tutorials. You can then learn different techniques, and design your own using what you learnt :)

Do you make your own brushes, or do you download them?

VoodooChild

I have no idea how to make brushes! I get all of mine from deviantart.com :)

I'm pretty much exactly in the same situation as you. I haven't been making sigs lately, but I'm trying to get back into it. The Yuna sig looks almost like one of the first sigs I made.

That is like one of my favorite pics to use, but I think yours is way better! I really like that bar that goes across the bottom. The Kadaj one is awesome too!

Its explained in VC's posts. Tutorials and such. But sometimes doing your onw thing is better and you get more experince.

He?! :p Im not a male! Lol.

Yer I know they are all the same style...I want to start making other ones differently but they always end up looking the same! I love the new techniques Ive learned so I always apply them now :( I'll see what I can do though hehe.

Your right! Sort of the same colours were used! I like the line effect on your background :) How did you do that? Brushes?

I really like that Sub-Zero sig. Love the brushes and the text used. The one on top is good too, I just prefer the one on the bottom. :D Awesome job, VoodooChild :)
