    My latest.... even too big as a gif. lol.

    The Lovely png

    --And now the I hate Gif's.--


    I give up on gifs... I don't care if they are smaller. The quality difference(and how well they handle transparancies) is readibly visible. PNG's just outclass gifs in everything but size(and maybe animation... I don't do animations so I don't know anything about what does that best).

    wow, these last sigs are very good, you are getting better all the time.
    but I think now, you should start on working more on blending, you know it give the sig a nice look. a look that it is not made of things but as though one piece.
    good work though

    Well I have been sorta working on blending. But my main concern is to keep it readable discernable. and I have real issues tryin to balance that and blending. When I try to truely blend I end up overdoing or underdoing it. I can't get it right(though I do pratice more on each sig.).

    The last two I did, the 'Mystic Healer' and 'The Pawn' have very transparent background layers on top of the renders to try and blend them more to the background. However, The pawn I posted up as is now to see the critique I had a couple ideas to play with blending but I wanted to see if it was needed or if I risked wasting time/ruining the sig by playing with it(and yeah, I know I got a copy of the original so I ain't going to truely ruin anything. but you got the idea I think).

    And I am liking my latest ones as well , I just hate how much I have to shrink them when I actually want to use them.

    new version. It was too strong I think before so I toned it down.

    Got a new one to show off. I like this one despite its lack of transparency.

    Thanks ,

    And here is my newest... I didn't spend as much time as I liked... plus I lost a bit when the power died here... but I think I managed to redo everything that had been changed since the last save... thank goodness I save often.

    Hmm.. the image visibilty was bugging me at the time of posting. However, maintaining both the misty/shadowy feel and sharpening the image escaped me at the time.

    Though I went back and played with it a bit. I also shrunk it a tad so I could save it as a png(png's colors are better then jpgs....). The jpg colors are a tad duller than the original file. though maybe that is just me(either way I like it better smaller anyways).


    new

    jpg of new

    old

    This wasn't anything much, all I did was use an individual highpass overlay on the three images, however, they are a bit more lively in this version. Why I didn't think of doing that originally is beyond me.

    I tried to darken it a bit. A bit too.... pale and colorless I thought. The first one I think I got it too dark... the third I am liking, it is stronger without being too strong. The second is only the old one for comparison sake.

    Sorry for the double post.... However, I got a new one, even if it is lacking in several areas(hey I am tired, been out in the sun working too long... but can't sleep yet, had to do something so sig making I a go!).

    Heh, I really stink at finding fonts. How did someone put it? I have a natural talent at selecting the worst ones :P. or something along those lines.

    Anyways I got myself some new ones(two of which are present in the sig I will be showing now).


    Not done yet. No border(wonder if it even needs one?) and the edges are somewhat rough. However, my hands aren't steady today, so I can't go out and manually smooth them up like I normally due(also cause of that the renders may be rougher then usual).

    Once I get a bit more steady I will try the Sig with brown and white colors in the background(the only reason I used the pastels color is cause my freinds shirt that inspired this is a pastel pink).

    I am really feeling out of it

    I like it.
    and I don't think the pink background doesn't match, but maybe the brown and white one would look better, go for it.

    Not the cowgirl one(lack of inspiration to play with it ). And actually that slump of inspiration has hit all areas for the past few days. However, I had the urge to play around this morning.

    I was going to do more with it, I think I need to shape it a bit better(the transparancy on top of the pentagons for one.... it just ... stops.. that needs working. However, my photoshop keeps crashing on me and won't open. In addition I generally use special effects on my final save that don't port well to other programs. So any additions will have to wait til my photoshop stops acting up on me .
