My siggys :D

This one looks very nice and the colour looks great with Paine, as it matches some of the colour on her top.

I would suggest you try to cut out more of the white surrounding Paine, or look for renders on the internet that people have already created so you don't have to worry about cutting.

Otherwise I would try what Shadra said and try to blend more around the character so that it's less noticeable.

The text is simple and clean which is good, but I would suggest placing it closer to Paine as it does distract the audience away from what they should be looking at, which is Paine in this case. =)

Very cute background. It matches Rikku's personality very well. Bright and Happy. XD

Once again the white bits that have been missed should be looked at and even then it would look nice if Rikku was blended a bit more into the background. Don't want her to look slapped on over the top.

The text font is nice, but it should be placed closer to Rikku and the text colour shouldn't be black in my opinion. White would look better. Rikku should probably be placed more into the middle as well. =)

I'm not too fond of the background in this one, but the glow around Penelo looks great! This one is blended better then the previous two as well.

The text font is a little out of place and once again should be closer to Penelo, but you've still done a great job on all of these.

Keep up the great work and it's good that you're experimenting. Not a lot of people like to go out of their comfort zone. =)

lol thankiies fo the cnc

havent updated in a while... anyways, more experiments:

Sotw entry:

Something new and different: A photo of me as he render:

A poster I had to make for my school's concert:

 

[Sabriel]

SOTW entry was fab. I already commented on it on the thread, but nice colours and text as well.

Hope is lost one was OK bbut I think you could improve it by putting more stuff in the background.

I could never make a poster like that. Well done. Adding abit to the background again would seem nicer though.

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Lovely work on this one. =D

The character is placed nicely and I like the fact that it pops out but I would suggest that you make the signature in line with her lower half and make it so that only the top of her hand and head is popping out.

It would look a lot better in my opinion.

Nice colour theme and the background flows nicely.

The text in my opinion should be placed in between her left arm and head so that it draws more attention to the focal point.

I would also suggest darkening the sides of the signature to draw more attention to the centre. =)

Good job on this one!

Wow that's a really pretty photo of you for starters!

The pose is very cute!

I think that this one is blended too much. I think that there should have only been one image placed in the middle with the text close to it in order to establish a focal point.

The background looks a bit too busy and kind of takes away the attention from the image too.

I would tone it down to a different shade of red perhaps and try to make the image stand out more with layers.

The text should be a bit more vibrant too in my opinion. It looks a bit too faded at the moment.

Still a good effort!

Soz, havent been posting in a while...

My latest:

CnC greatly appreciated^^

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

This one looks nice.

The colours all work together nicely and the text looks well done. The font and placement of the text is done very well.

The only thing I think can be improved is the image. I think a better quality image is needed and make it so that the character isn't overlapping the border. He looks too slapped on at the moment.

The background looks really nice though and very creative.

The border is also nice and simple and easy on the eye. =)

It need blending in. the BG colour match the rendered image so thats a plus.
The white line around the render makes it pop out so u need to blend it it looks like 1 image. There are many ways of blending in an image.
Try c4d to blend or use soft brushes over the render layer.
Or try using the smudge tool to blend him in.
AS it look right now the BG is nice but the render is too noticeable. Search for blending tutorials on Google and ul find sites. I think its definately the next step you should take.

Penelo, i am taking that sig. Its just so awesome. The black and white in back of the Org member truly shows what its about. Its awesome, but need touching up in the areas Laguna mentioned

 

[Big Casino]

Whoa you cant just go helping yourselves to other peoples work. Who do you think you are? You ask permission first then use it if they agree. Just saying you taking it is cheeky as fuck. Id advise you remove it and ask for permission first!

 

[King Sean]

I'm sorry, i just thought that i could do that and just make sure i credit them in my sig Penelo, if i offended, then i sorry . Can i use that sig in my signature, pwease?

 

[Smiley]

Sure, you can take it...but make sure you give me credit, k?

Edit: new uptate:

^Couple of things I whipped up. CnC???

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

This one looks nice!

I like the background! It's fairly simple with not too much added to it and you've picked an excellent font if I do say so myself. =)

It really stands out being white as well!

The guys look good where they are and fit in with the background nicely.

I would recommend erasing the sketchy black bits around the guy in the white shirt though. It looks a bit messy.

The border looks great and rounds it off nicely. =)

Lovely and simple.

For the pop out signatures I would recommend using the full image of Vivi or whatever image you decide to use. It looks too cut off where his hat and lower half of the body are.

Try to round it off by making it look like his fading into the forum skin with a brush, lighting feathering the edges of his body and hat.

The blending looks really good too by the way. I can see you've blended him into the background and he doesn't look slapped on at all. =D

The background is nice and simple and looks great too!

The font is lovely and I think that if you moved it a little closer to Vivi it would look fantastic!

Lovely and simple yet again.

I like that his colours are more vibrant in this one and less blurred. The background looks great being blurred as it makes you focus on Vivi more.

Lovely text is situated well and the border round it off nicely!

Well done on this one!

Thanks kandy!

New stuff:

^A new batch of graphic junk

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

This one is cute.

I like that the text expresses what's happening in the signature.
The purple looks really nice and I really like the background at the top of the signature.

I would suggest you not make the black squares look so grainy though and maybe blend them into the background at the top a tad more.

Lovely text and placement as well. The border is different but I would suggest making it smaller size. =)

Very simple and cute. The background looks nice again and the image has a nice glow around it. The border is a nice finish. =)

Not much to say about this one other then I like it. =)

Okay number one I would suggest you not have two different images overriding each other in the background. It looks a bit messy.

The checkerboard and the blood dripping down the wall are too much. I personally think that the blood pattern looks better.

Try blending Paine into the background a bit more as well so her edges don't look so edgy. =)

The text looks great and the font is chosen well. =)

I like the concept of color splash on this one but to me it merely looks like a render with a background. I would think that blending the image a bit more into the background would work well. Also that...gray glow around her doesn't seem to set well with me, its odd really. I like it that you actually edited the picture to leave the eyes red, the text is fine but the background it self I'd say is too simple making it look like I said before: A render with a background. I've always thought that one needs to make the render blend into the background so that it looks like it was never two images from the start. I like the text, thought, the placing and overall image of it looks fine to me. =)
Keep at it, I know you can do it. <3

Thanks for the cnc everyone...

ok, so i've just downloaded new brushes, and i've been experimenting some abstract stuff with them:

The blue one's my fave

cnc???

 

[Saga]

Experimenting with brushes is a great idea. Especially if you do what you've done and play around and test them alone. It gives you a great chance to learn the flow of brushes and all that jizmo.

The purple one is very pretty, I love the almost sparkle like feel to it.

The Blue one is my fave also except I think the white space on the right is a little TOO much. If it wasn't so bright, it'd look better.

The green one makes me think of the lifestream.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing you implement them into your works more. =3

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

I really like this one!

The purple works great against the black and I really like the sparkly effect it seems to have. The nice glow on the brushes work well too!

This one would be my favourite if it weren't for that huge patch of white on the right. It looks brilliant over on the left.

I just think that the white is just a bit overdone and that if you kept the same flow that you had over on the left it would look even better. =)

It still looks great though!

Lovely glow on the brushes again.

It's good to see that you're experimenting, unlike some who just dive in and fill their signatures with brushes, colours, images etc.

Getting a feel of each step that goes into a signature is the smart way to go about it.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the cnc people!

The last two I made out of complete boredom...
