Photoshop Meddlings V2

[Daenerys]

I thought my other thread was far too long, and since it was packed with loads of older stuff I don't like looking at, it's not a really good representation of how I've developed over the past few months. So, a new thread was needed

I'll post all my best stuff, from earliest to newest =]

Warning : Very image heavy!

Absolutely love this one, really like the colour scheme and the BG as well as the effects.

Gorgeous. The BG and the render really suit the whole thing. The only thing I would change is the text. A bit off?

You just have to tell me what fonts you used. Loved the dark feel and the glitter in the corner. Small text is really pretty. <3

A-ha! So it WAS you, you got a really nice style throughout your piece and I think this is the best one of them all. Love the bar and the blue sparks!

Keep it up, Mark and Well done!

This one, is definitely my favourite out of the whole bunch. I love signatures like these. They are solid, but have little specs of alot of colour going on, and I think that's gorgeous. I love the font you've used, and the placement of the text, any image would work on this signature I think, 'cause it looks really good, but the lime-green girl you've picked works really nicely. This is my favourite by you.

I love how you are able to work so well with older pictures. You cleaned her up to fit into the sig nicely, your text is always so simple, yet works really really well. I love the C4D in the background to her right. Just looks like a really pretty piece.

Hm... So much to like in this sig. I love the faded smokey feel on the right, but I adore the glittery left side. It's just so damn pretty. She's blended in really nicely, as if to be on stage with those smokey machines, standing there. Omnomnom, text is gorgeous too. I love how you put the 'spell', 'you', and 'forget' in a dark font, and the rest in a lighter shade. Works really well, and it's easy on the eye.

Same as the above, I adore your text. You placed it really nicely. The C4D in this piece is absolutely gorgeous, along with the colours you've used. You like that colour scheme, don't you, Mark? I don't blame you, it looks brilliant.

This is definitely my second favourite out of all of your works. I'm a sucer for specks of colours, but this is just gorgeous. When I first saw this one, I literally stared at it for a while. I LOVE how the background is just plain white, with a hint shade here and there. The red looks gorgeous, and the text... Omg...


I'm really liking what you did with the text in this one. No curleys, no fancy stuff. Just so straight to the point, and the little dots make it look perfect. xD... I really... REALLY like what you did with the text, can you tell?


This piece as a whole is perfect, in my opinion.


Keep up the amazing work, Mark!

P.s. I'm a sucker for amazing text/fonts, can you tell?

Here's my SOTW 111 entry. I wanted another simple-but-effective sig, and although it didn't win, I still love it -

Here's a work in progress. I need to find some time to go and finish it off -

 

[Shadra]

I really like this one! Looking at it in the thread I didn't think that there was a border on it, but looking at it while replying, I can just make out the black border. The signature is so bright I almost missed the border! lol The blue and the red spots help to really tie the signature together, as well as the subtle brush effects.

 

[Daenerys]

Bleh, I've got no motivation for photoshop lately. I need to find some new style, or new resources. Or both. Anyway, here's something I made earlier. Don't like it much though.

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

This one is rather sweet and kind of sad at the same time.

I like the background and how it seems as though it's moving around Aerith and Zack. I also like the red tinges around them. It makes them stand out more as the focal.

The text is nice and simple, though I think it would look better if it were smaller.

Other than that there's not much to say except it's great!

 

[Daenerys]

Here's something I was playing around with earlier, trying some new stuff out, but still making it look like my style. I quite like it though, although I think I need to downsize my canvases again -

Here's something I was playing around with earlier, trying some new stuff out, but still making it look like my style. I quite like it though, although I think I need to downsize my canvases again -

It's a very, very good sig. I like it a lot. The colours blend fantastically well, especially on the lower right and blends in with Flareon's body colour very well. The C4D is a very good one and is nice and simple so it doesn't distract attention away from the focal. The font is also nice and simple
As for the canvas size, it works extremely with this sig in particular, you'll only need to make them smaller really when there's lots of negative space that takes away attention from the focal.

Keep up the great work ^^

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Wow nice work on this one!

The background looks awesome! Lovely warm colours and the design looks fantastic! I love how it sorta looks like liquid.

Flareon is blended in very well and almost looks like he was originally part of the background.

Lovely lighting. I like how it's darker around the edges to make you focus more on the middle.

Lovely font used for the text and the placement is good.

 

[Daenerys]

Here's me just working with a Lulu stock. I've been playing FFX like crazy lately, so I got all inspired from it -

AOTW 62 entry. Made as a last minute thing cause I only had one entry -

SOTW 112 entry. Tied with Graye to win

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Gorgeous work on this one!

The background looks lovely. The texture of it is appealing and I really like how the purples and reds are only around Lulu to make you focus on her more.

She is blended in very well and the smoothness of the image is lovely.

I think that a little more lighting on Lulu is needed just to make her stand out that bit more though.

The text is a bit plain but still fits in nicely.

I voted for this one. =D

I like how glossy and flawless it looks.

I love how blue her eyes are and how rich her lips are in colour compared to the rest of the image. It looks awesome and I still want to learn how to do that. =0

The text is placed well and finishes it off nicely.

The main thing I like about this is the blue tinges around the rose.

It looks like an aura of magic is flowing all around it.

The background looks good blurred as it makes the rose stand out more and the text is very nice. I love the font you used for 'Thorn' but I think that the text in red is a bit too simple for this particular signature.

Other than that keep up the awesome work!

 

[maea]

woww, youve got skills. im amazed *-*
keep it uppppp man

 

[Daenerys]

Thank you for the comments, greatly appreciate them

Here's something I was messing around with today, I quite like it. xD Wish I'd made it for SOTW 113.

 

[Serah]

Just I told you on MSN, Markeh I absolutely love this! I love the dark colouring of it and the soft affects used. It makes it feel so fresh! Not to mention I LOVE Beauty and the Beast! Great work!

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Awe this one is simply lovely!

I used to love Beauty and The Beast and even did some fanfiction on them once. XD

The colouring is nice and rich and the softness of the signature is just gorgeous.

I love the warm feeling this has to it and the lighting hits all the right spots.

You've chosen an excellent font for the text too!

 

[Shadra]

You read my mind Stevie!!! I watched that movie yesterday. haha

It's very nice. The subtle effects add a nice touch to it, and the text I think is perfect.

 

[Daenerys]

Ooh, thank you so much for the comments guys

Here's something I was playing around with earlier, decided to go back to a smaller canvas size -

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Love what you did with this one Mark!

The red tinges around Kefka look gorgeous and make him stand out more.

The blending is well done as is the lighting and the placement of both image and text looks great!

I like how the background looks all shiny and glossy-like too.

Keep up the great work!

I'm not too fond of the red and blue scheme used here... It really does help to make the image stand out more, but I'm not sure if it's something I prefer...

I like the text you used, xD I noticed you're really like those sqaures with the text. ^^ It works nicely.

I think a white border would've made this gorgeous sig stand out a tad more.

Overal I like it. Keep it up!
