youre getting better, but you really might want to get some brushes... also your text dosent match at all.  trust me i did the same thing when i first started psing.  check out chaosgfx,com for some really good info and help.

also right now were still on sotw 15 so you might wanna change it, but the voting had begun so i think your sol on that one and will have to make a new sig

out of personal experience try and stay away from excessive use of filters, sure they can do some awesome things but generally its a dead end and when your done most people who know photoshop know exactly what you did

not sayind dont use them, but use them to blend things together


and blur/sharpen you can use all the time, those are my main filters

You can't use pre-made sigs for SOTW contests. The point is for you to make a sig for the contest. Besides, the theme hasn't even been decided.

i didnt know you had to make the sig that week and if it fits the theme im going to enter it in sotw 16 but now i know i guess so whatever ill just do a new sig for sotw 16 if it dosent fit the theme

Seriously, not trying to be rude or anything, but why is this the only site you tell anyone to go to.  Its allright if you help someone out and tell them a site but it cant be the greatest site in the universe or anything.

For renders you can check out www.gamerenders.com, and deviant art is where you can get brushes, or you can get them at chaosgfx or gamerenders.  Good-tutorials is a great site where you can learn some of the basics.


By the way, I did check that site out and I used a tutorial of theirs in beastiekid's current sig.

Thats the thing, you cant even start working on a sig for sotw untill it is officially announced.
Odds are it wouldnt fit the theme anyways, since TV shows has been done, and movies. (since there is a scoobydoo movie)

I'd say it's a LITTLE hard to read and I might change the color a little more to contrast with the background and make it a couple points bigger, but I like the font.

How did you get that effect with the background?  Did you just use different brushes with different colors for different strokes?  I REALLY like the background.

That is EXACTLY what I was talking about.
Don't you think that looks uncomparably better?  The text before looked a little bland.  This looks much more exciting.


I like the Halo sig as well, maybe make the render a little clearer (what is it, colored pencil, right? I'm not sure what the filter is called), and a little more stuff in the background.

You're getting much better.

use the image below as a pattern(make sure you press CTRL+A, before defining the pattern)


beleive it or not, there are 6 images there they are each 3x3 pixels, but as you can see, it works just right
and for the mirror effect, first rasterize your text(right-click it) and then goto edit->transform->flip horizontal. then all you've got to do is select the icon, and press SHIFT+G to choose the gradient fill, press "D" and then click below the text, hold shift, and drag upwards, let-up on the mouse, and voila!

If you guys remember, when north carolina redneck came back, he requested a sig that said "Halo 2, My Anit Drug" and Modderxtrordanare, knowing it was a spelling error, made a sig saying "Anit Drug".

h34d5h0tz later made him a better sig, right before he was banned.

you should spend more time on your sigs. they are starting to look like not much effort or consideration was put into your works.

[EDIT] i would also suggest finding alot more brushes.
here is the sig i made that they where talking about btw:

Maybe you would want to make the entire shadow, not just part of it?  Also, you might want to do a color balance or hue/saturation, as the render REALLY blends into the background, like, a lot.  Unless that is the effect you wanted, then I would change it.

You could use drop shadow, as well, to make the shadow.

te sigs are nice, but you arent matching the colours of your brushing with colours in your sig, ie: with a white MC use some white brushing and lightly brush over it with other colours

heres one i made for some1 else with the same pic of the MC

when you make a new image in PS make sure you select Transparent for the backround, if you save it as a png like that, there shouldnt be a white backround

Save it as a .png and you should be able to create a transparent background.

Title: Sigs
Post by: xbox_newbie on February 06, 2006, 07:51:00 PM

its not when you are saving it that you select transparent, its when you are making it

when you make a new document
file>new
and you have the option of selecting the size and whatever else, there should be a drop downbox that gives you the option of having either a white, transparent, or coloured background

I assume for the other one like 3, you simply used Color Balancing/ Hue and Saturation to change the color, right?

Title: Sigs
Post by: Hazanko on February 09, 2006, 03:52:00 PM

hmmm... not TOTALLY sure, but i think i know how they did it:
first they duplicated the image(in this case the colored image with the car) then they duplicated the layer(CTRL+J) and they went to image->mode->desaturate(i think that's the menu path, not near PS right now) go to filters->sketch->trace edges(once again, not sure about the path)... then it SHOULD be looking sortof like a drawing(other drawing filters can be applied) then just put a layer mask over it, and choose the gradient fill(SHIFT+G(until it selects it)) then click somewhere in the corner, and drag u pand to the left(not too far) and release... you SHOULD recieve something close to that effect.
good luck,
-Hazanko

if you still haven't solved the problem of the png white background, it's because Internet explorer doesn't display that image format properly. if you're not using IE then i don' t kno

I know how he did it, and I started on one to look like that, so far I have just the car part and im on to the background. I kind of thought that I should make it look like I drew it on paper.

looks good

i think in your last supper one for SOTW17 you cropped it in a way that makes it feel like there is too much trying to be put into frame. from a photographers perspective with rule of thirds, your focus subject should be on a third dividing line, your heads are all at the top some cut off, and the table is down the center.

good job on the whole, your really workin hard

I thought you had a higher opinion of me than that.  Please say you assumed I was using Opera.
No, I'm on Firefox and a right click produces no such menu (newest version).  Oh well.

EDIT: IE 7 Beta can see them, but I hate and refuse to use it.  Clearing the cache (I HAd spelled it like money) + personal settings + cookies and refreshin does nothing.

STILL no dice.  
If I go to View Source, I can see the tag and the link inside it, but STILL no dice.  
I can look at other threads and see their images fine.  Weird that I can't see your photobucket, that's what I use and it works FINE.



       

EDIT: And I don't see text or anything instead of the image, I see NOTHING, not even a space where it should be.
