Lew's GFX Priory

[Big Casino]

I thought id make a new thread, the old one was getting a bit cluttered and iv changed styles a wee bit so i thought it seemed fitting.

Using smudging alot now, i always seen sigs where i loved the smudging but i could never get the right brush settings, after a bit of research and playing around i finally aqquired setting that i like xD Also discovered the greatness of the 'render light effects' function, its awesome.

Anyway heres the update.

Current sig. Created from a great stock i found on deviant art.

Another good stock found on deviant art

very similar to my current, but bigger and with a few colour differences.

Not sure about the text, i shouldve lowered the opacity a little i think.

A random sig

Vector themed, i liked this one to begin with but ive gone right off it, theres something off about it.

Tried for a comic book style look

EDIT - heres the stocks i used

I absolutely adore that venom sig, is fantastic! the background is perfect and compliments venom really well, I also really like your current sig and the 3rd sig, very well lit and rendered....you sir have become a GFX monster ^^

 

[Mitsuki]

You, sir, have definitely improved tremendously. It's amazing! I'm a fan of your work and I love how you did Tag 2. Catchy effects that flows very well and the colors are what I would call a 'bold style'. The last two are also my favorites. Very appealing look and great composition. Venom looks hot as well, and I love the two different tinge of colors. Border is quite different too, I like it. Overall great job!

 

[Daenerys]

The two of these are my favourite pieces ^^ They're both so different, yet so utterly delicious. You've really really improved in such a short space of time - it's incredible. xD I adore the text and colors in these two signatures, my only minor gripe is the borders, I don't think they match really.

Fantastic works though! Keep up the good work! ^^

I agree with Mits, it's clear you've improved a great deal or all your stuff is amazing, but since these are my two favourites I'll focus on these.

The 1st is sensational, whether you agree with me or not XD The colours are, to simply put it, fantastic! And I love the heart vector, it's unreal. The stock has been chosen to perfection and those stripe either side of her are very impressive. The font's also spot on. The border colours are also great (for both) as is the style of border.

The 2nd one's opposite to #1 in almost every way, but has been produced to equal affect, which shows you have great ability in changing style!
The lighting's great and the colour of the lighting at the bottom and the sides of his shoulder are amazing, the font is again, spot on and the effects are great. Keep up the great work dude. 8D

Some pretty nice stuff. Me likey alotta.

Out of curiosity, was the Venom sig inspired or whatever word you want to use ( ) by that link you posted a few days ago, with those sexy graphics?

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

My gosh you're latest work is beyond amazing!

This one is gorgeous! I love the smooth texture of this one and the colours are great! I love the swirly lines in the background and the text is amazing!

I love how it all runs together without any gaps and how 'last' is pink and the other two words are white. It looks great!

Simple border is hot!

I think this is my favourite from you yet! XD

IT IS HOT!

I love the splatters of pink and yellow down the bottom and the pink skull is the most gorgeous little thing. XD The background is amazing and the image is blended in so well!

I love the text! The font is perfect, and the little text in pink underneath works so well. XD

The border is freakin' fantastic and totally suits the theme of this signature!

Well bloody done! You're the biggest surprise to the GFX area lately!

This one is quite unique with the style you've gone for!

I love IT! The colours are so crisp and warm and make Rihanna look exotic in a way.

Love the texture of the background and on Rihanna herself! The text is amazing as per usual and the lighting is superb!

My gosh this is sexy. XD

I Love the colours you've used in this one! They go together amazingly well and the whole thing is so damn creative!

The little circles lining the bottom of the signature are gorgeous and the pinkstripe patterns on either side of Lucy work in great!

I love the text placement right in front of that broken heart and the font is fantastic!

Although did you mean to spell Heartbreaker without the 'e'? XD

Awesome work!!!

Aye another amazing piece of art!

The highlights of red and pink/blues on Venom look fantastic!

The focal point is nailed and the text is awesome! I love the border and the size of the signature works nicely with the image.

Brilliant blending and lighting as well.

Lovin' your work mate! Keep it up!

 

[Big Casino]

Wow, thank you all for the comments, makes it worth while. Im surprised at the reaction to the lucy liu tag aswell xD

Made quite a few today seein as ive been in the house pretty much most of the day

This is one of my favourites

Absolutely hate this one

my sotw entry ^^

 

[TheMixedHerb]

Loving this one Lew, it's done really well. ^^
The colours compliment the sig really well and I like the chosen size, plus the text is awesome too.
I love the little details that you do to your work, makes them stand out a tad more.
Keep up the good work Lew. ^^

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Im surprised at the reaction to the lucy liu tag aswell xD

That's because the Lucy Liu tag is hot! XD

This one is nice but I think there was way too much lighting/sharpness on her face. She kinda looks like she has a mustache.

The little circles down the bottom look nice and the text is gorgeous, however this one feels a little dull and lacking in something to be honest.

Oooh sexy!

Love the image and how it's blended so well into the background!

The lighting is magnificent and the text is hot! I love the fonts used and the text is situated perfectly!

I love the cloudy/smudgy background of the signature and the border is simple and sweet. =)

Definitely my favourite from the update!

Wonderful use of colours I must say! The image is gorgeous and the use of negative space on the left is well done!

I love the font!!! It is hot!!! It works perfectly with the theme, kinda punkish. The smaller text underneath works great and the lighting on her face is spot on!

I quite like this one! The smudginess of the background on the left is very nice and the lighting is good, although a bit too bright I think. The text is placed well and the colour of the text and font is hot!

The only thing I don't like is that honeycomb pattern down the bottom. It does look a little strange in my opinion.

Nice border too. I like how it's slightly unbalanced.

Oooh I nearly voted for this one!

Well done! I love the smoothness of it and the lighting is great! The colours are amazing and I love the red tinges throughout the tag.

The text is amazing as per usual! I love the font and the two different colours work well!

Awesome blending and once again a work of art!

Flippin Eck. They are Brilliant. Spider man one is cool

 

[Daenerys]

This is my favourite out of all your new ones. It's lovely. I particularly love the text, it's perfect. My advice is to lose the purple C4D(?) effect in the bottom left corner though, it doesn't really match the rest of the signature. Other than that, the colors are lovely, and it's blended spectacularly. Interesting size too. ^^ Keep up the good work!

I like the texture of the background in this one!

The lighting is great and the colours go well with Yuffie.

I agree with you on the text font though. XD Is it Times New Roman? XD

It's placed well, just needs a different font and some blending in my opinion.

I like how Yuffie seems to be in the middle of a dark cloudy day and the light is shining on her like she's the one to make it all better. XD

Great work again!

Thanks for the comments everyone, no idea what font it was kandy i just decided to use it

Another update, found it hard to get started again after bein away for over a week so i did a few practises that i wont post, heres the ones i like.

Probadly my favourite ever

This ones a bit messy, i was practising work with the distort functions, twirl gives a nice effect, as does displace.

I'm sorry I've not commented on your last few Lew.

I have been rather lazy lately. But I shall make up for that now and thanks for commenting in mine!

I really like the texture of the background in this one! It's smudged over the guy a little on his helmet too and looks awesome!

The blending is great and the lighting just on the right of him is perfect! Love the touches of blue and red in there and the text is great!

This is definitely an awesome piece!

I love the image used in this one and the colours used in the background work well with the image too.

The lighting at the top is great, as it looks like she's staring up into the light!

Awesome text and I rather like that swirly thing on the right hand side of the text. Looks neat. =D

Sexy half border works well with this signature!

I love the swirlyness effect you've tried out in this sig.

Focal point is spot on and I love those little white glowing balls surrounding Spiderman!

The text is awesome! I love how you made 'Lewis' run in over 'GFX'. Very imaginative!

Lighting is great and the border suits the signature.

I really love this one. XD

Sexy Gaga image used and the colours are yummy!

Love that glowing swirly effect behind her! It's probably my favourite effect you use in your signatures!

Awesome blending and the lighting around her is superb!

The paint splatters on the left hand side look awesome and I love how the text seems to fly in from the left!

Sexy orange and red/pink tinge on her right hand side too. XD

Oooh, swirly effect again. XD

Love how it flows off Catwoman! She looks electrifying. XD

The blending here is great and I love the darkness of the signature. The lighting on Catwomans skin looks awesome by the way. It looks flawless!

The font is suitable and the tinier text underneath 'Catwoman' looks great!

Love the image used here.

The focal point is yet again spot on and the lighting surrounding Wolverine is awesome!

Love the darkness surrounding him so that viewers focus more on Wolverine.

The text is rather plain I'll admit. A bit of blending on the 'Cats Claws' would have been good I think. Love the font for 'Wolverine' though!

Awesome half border again too!

You may have been gone a week but you haven't lost your touch. XD

It's an epic sig
The lighting and effect above both shoulders are really effective and make Wolverine stand out as the focal point, the background is fantastic and has a great colour scheme which goes really well with the render, the soft blue lighting on either arm is a nice touch to round off the focal point. The borders and text styles used are also spot on.
Keep it up dude.
