Critique this sig in progress.

[Owen Macwere]

it is COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
Yeah, I am having a hard time making sigs too, maybe it is a desise.
I love this one so much, great sig, really.

[ShunNakamura]

Well if it was a desease that would explain me having it.... I catch anything and everything that is contagious .

Heh, anyways Did another off of a black and white image I found online.

I am thinking of embossing(I think that was what it was anyways) it to give it a look similar to the Chichiri one(my last one). Gives it more of a 3d feel and I like that.

[Owen Macwere]

It is awesomly awesome.
nice colouring and text blending...
keep up Shun.

[ShunNakamura]

Got bored and built it up some more. PNG this time because I couldn't see exactly where the transparancy produced by the emboss ended and started and didn't want to risk maiming it(and GIF, just doesn't look as good as PNG).

A quickie... just wanted to finally do something with that render.

[Owen Macwere]

The blending of the green one is very good.
I like them, great work you started to make great sigs, I love you sigs.

[ShunNakamura]

Well I wanted to try something new with transparancies(guess where ).

Anyways I got it as a Gif and a PNG will show both. Guess which one is which . And NO cheating:rolleyes2

And yes, I think I have had too much caffine .

Anyways I screwed up and rammed my lettering up against the edge

[Owen Macwere]

Hehe, nice task. I love guessing games.
let's see, the first is .Gif, the second is png.
the transperancy is in the lines in the letters.
correct?

Nice sig between.

Right on the file types. And I think you were right or close or at least getting there on the transprancy. explaining the transparancy on the letters is a tricky task. It is technically the inside of the letters that is transpranant. The font I used is a bit weird... it is stencil like I guess is teh best bet. What I did was select the inside of each letter(already transprant but showing the bg)and used those selections to delete the bg so that it was fully transparant rather then showing the bg. If that made any sense .

Anyways I think that was what you were saying but I just elaborated

Actually showing it on a white background shows the transprancy really clearly, as this thumbnail will show once clicked upon .



(you don't want to see the gif on white background.... trust me)


Anyways I may give another Transparant text one a go. That is kinda fun and I want to try one on a more complex sig(plus I want to work on making it look better, not bad for a first attempt on it in my mind, but I should be able to improve it).

[Owen Macwere]

That's whay I meant, it is just my english doesn't support me sometimes.
So I won? what is my gift?.
Oh, and I can't wait to see what you are preparing next.

[ShunNakamura]

Oh, and I can't wait to see what you are preparing next.

prize? err.... I thought that was supposed to be the satisfaction you gained from getting it right .

Anyways, dropped the last one I was going to do(one with better transparant text) for a short bit, decided to fill a request at another forum.

This is what I got(I just wish the Text ElvenDestiny was more easily readable ).

Edit- Yippee I finally pulled off Genji's text out of banner shadowing onto thing I said I was going to do ages ago :P

[Owen Macwere]

Duh, no prise? meany. x_x
Well, your new sig is very good. and the text is not as bad as you are saying, at least I could read it when I screw up my eyes.
No, seriously, it is a cool sig. good work.

and oh, yeah. congratulations for the font, I fear to use it, though I like it.

[ShunNakamura]

Man, it doesn't look like I'll ever get back to the stencil font . Coming up with a good idea for it isn't easy for me, and I am not willing to force it.

but anyways--

got a new one. Two versions. Bad part is I got bored halfway through and rushed it a bit.

First version

Alternate Version

Anyways in my rush of boredom I forgot to smooth the edges.

[Cloudstrife4003]

They look pretty good.

[Owen Macwere]

It looks cute, nice background, by the way.
and about the font, don't bother, my eyes are not that sharp either.
Good work Shun, you are awesoem and getting awesommer every passing day.

[ShunNakamura]

And another new one.

Hmm... Really having issues with the edges again... I thought I got over that a long time ago. I guess it doesn't help that the last two had low quality images but still.....
