Discuss SotW #9 here!

I kinda don't like gears and couldn't think of any colors that could go with mine.

junkj needs a new style

Agreed with Myles.

Right now, I think it's either me or Sanjuro.

Nahh, I'm not that good. xD
Your stuff is amazing. :O

Whats wrong with my style? You have it your way, and ill have it my way.

Stealing BK's motto. xD

I forgot to blend my render better then apply a photofilter and gradiant map to add shades. T_T

I think I'll take part in this one if I can be assed to make a sig.. Been like 9 weeks and every time I think "ok ill make one now… but later…" :p

No offense or anything but they're all just a background + render or just a picture with text and a few filters like poster edges or something added to them, and you've made no progress at all in making them after like 50 sigs.. Learning some actual techniques like blurring, using C4Ds, lighting, blending the render, making the background look good etc. etc. might be worth it.

What pixel ratio do you guys use for you signature??

I use 325x125.

400x125 is also very nice.

Edit: i did motion blur on Marcus but you can barely see it.
Starting to learn bluring.

You have to use a lott of effort to make a nice looking, clean, neat sig.

You can't just grab a render, throw a background together, and slap the render on it.

You have to use blurring, transparency, blending, fading, gradients, a lot of stuff has to be used to make it nice.

Trying to use most of them and i used blending, blurring and transparency in this one.

Blurring-Barely see it on Marcus
Transparency- SOTW9
Blending-Somewhere in there, i use it most of the time.

I usually add Photo filters, like two of them, and set them on different modes.
Then make 2 grad maps and set them on different modes, and then it is created. :D
Ohh and for Pixel Ratio I usually do 370x135.
I think its a perfect size.
I am thankful to be in this SOTW with some of you really good gfx guys. Dx

Its not a fantastic signature. But atleast you can see the render, you havent used a massive amount of brushes, and it looks clean.

Its not amazing, but its better then everything else you have made

(y) Keep learning.

And I would enter.. but my computer got reformatted so lost Photoshop.

):

I don't even have photo filters with GIMP!

Duplicate layer, 5px Gaussian Blur, set to Overlay.

Was zytex's a paint one?

LMAO!!

Hahah!

Well, it does bring me back to my "ub3r paintz0rz" days.
