Its sorta big, and the cutout is a bit rough. It also looks christmasy with the redish font. Its a nice first signature though, you should be proud. :)

No problem, and don't worry about the rough cutout. That picture is a toughie. Try smudging in the rough edges with the smudge tool, that should fix it a bit.

it is good, but the render is not belded well with the sig. the best size to use is 450X150 pxl. and try to use matching typing color with the background. I should say that your background (if it is your making) is cool.

Thanks,both of you.i couldnt block out a bit of white from the render,so i used blur,but ill try smudge.and btw owen,it is.i used a few grunge brushes and other crud and made it,thanks ^_^

EDIT:also,anyone know where i can get some good fonts?i am lookin for a few dynamic,"sharp" ones,a few elegant ones like teh cursive in one of your old sigs,owen.and anything else good;if anyone can help.

ok, you are ready to make sigs? then I will give you a simple test.
can you make me a sig of yuna dancing with stars and hearts in it? I want on a writting sayin "high summoner yuna dances", play around with your style in it.
can you make it? I am not professional but I can help you ^_~.

Ok,i feel up for a challenge-what color?

Owen Macwere
06-18-2006, 05:45 PM
duh, first mistake. because even when people tell me to make their sigs in a colour sometimes I diobey them. why? because I must make the background colour as close as possible to the renders color, so they would blend togather. ^^.
now you know this, so yuna dancing would be wearing blue right. but I want the background shiny red. can you make two red and blue, and let's see which one is better. ^_~

meh ok,lol(erg wtf i said l o l.).ill go for it^_^

EDIT:see sometimes i've seen peoples get upset though they try to hide it over color schemes they don't like,lo..hey i am NOT falling for that again,forums,heh.but i started on a blue one even before you replied,lo l.just as a frme,cuz i figured it might look pretty good.

In the first one, did you emboss the render? x.X

The second two have a really choppy cut, try using premade renders untill you get better at cutting x.x

What does the last word say? I wouldnt have used a bright colour with that font, it makes it difficult to read, for me anyway. I only use black for that font and add a nice glow around it.

wow, you impressed me really, they are not bad at all. but see the blue one is better than the red on, I was right ^^.
now about your yuna render how to blend it to the background, here you go:
first way: use the eraser with about 33 opacity or less and strock the edges of the render with it.
second way: use the lasso tool and select around your render with it try to take some of the background with it, then press CTRL+X and then CTRL+ V, the render place might change so just use your drage tool and put it where you want, you would notice that the edges have faded a little.
I used the second way in this one, see the result? better.

I can see you are getting better. Just work on cutting the pictures out. Other than that, you are moving along well. Another thing is to work on the fonts still, they are a little hard to read and don't match well with the background color. And to Owen, yes, no matter what color the requester asks for, always make it look well with the picture you're using.

Ok,thanks everyone,i appreciate it,i guess this is now open for requests,I cried aloud with mirth and merriment.and no i didnt whatever in merriment.also,i have learned the clone tool,that should help,but i don't know how to use the auto/easy/or whatever mask tool that helps you cut a render....meh.anyways,thanks for the comments.

:twocents: < deres my two cents someone stole it and put in on teh internet.

geez i must have some "natural talent" for this(i don't mean that now i rule all muhahahah,i mean i am much better than i thought i would be.)my handwriting is atrocious and i can't draw well,though i am great with technology and i am intelligent/smrt...errr...smart.

i think it was that dumb moogle.

so i once again thank everyone for their support,and testing.btw owen owns me,l o l.how do you make the back colors so vivid in that black angel one?and in your current sig,that is cloud right?anyways how did you make those two colors blend so well with each other?heh..you are a freakin expert at this,how long have you been sig-ging.and also,if it is cloud in that sig,do you have a render of that pic?if you dont mind i'd prolly try to make my avatar with that pic instead of my current one...

Thats it..time for the army...

and..a question.i followed a tut on http://www.tutorialfx.com to make my own smily,got to part where i need to use adobe imageready...can someone get me a basic tut on using it,i don't get it but want custom smilies...thanks again everyone,and may the requests(hopefully) come.

:mog: :shoot: :shoot: :shoot: :shoot: :shoot:

wow...that was long and meaningless...:nibbles:

Reinforcements!-:tonberry: :tonberry: :tonberry: :tonberry: :tonberry:

:banbleys wait...wrong smily...i meant to say :blahblah: :pimp: :blahblah: 90% of that was humorous spam.

i love it.

LOL, what is all these writtings. ^O^, these were funny. and BTW I don't own you buddy, we are here to help eachother. I think that just telling you that you sig needs this and that doesn't help, what I should do is give you the solution, right?.
so here's how to make the background vivd:
use some brushs and play around then drag your border to the sig and go filter>blur> motion blur, set any sittings then go layer>layer style> blending mode, and set it to vivid light. then duplicate the render by pressing CTRL+J. and drag it around, that's all really. ^^ and for renders go here these are awesome:

hope I helpped ^^.
