Saiger: Genesis GFX

thankyou for the comments, ofc Im still working to try and improve myself, and like any good apprentice, I've took a piece of my masters work and seen if I can do as well as it :P

In this case, I've taken the sig that Lew made for me and using a different Jill render, attempted to make an Avatar using the same effects....i think it turned out pretty well.

and I was feeling nostalgic today, and something I'm hoping to use at the next username change....1980's master of the universe movie Skeletor ^^

another sig, made this for my ffpvp character, although im unsure on the text, and think im may have gone a tad overboard on lighting, CC is most definatley welcomed on all work!

Tbh this sig would look much better if the background isn't black but that's just my opinion.

This one is good but the render you used look a bit cramped up. <_<

Background is well done but the white brush, text, and the coloring of Saber isn't really good, I think a better hair coloring would look better, text in a different color and font, the brush in another color since it contradict the sig.
 
heres my sotw entries, although they were nowhere near as good as everyone elses, they were good practice.

I like that one, it's really difficult to work with just faces as a focal point so I think you've done a great job with it. The colour is great and I liked the little stamp-like thing on the right, as well as the fading text on the left, I'd just add a bit more to left to use up some of the negative space.

For the Cloud sig I'd just get rid of some of the green on Cloud as it seems a bit monotone, do that and it'll look much better. Keep up the great work :)
 
Thanks for the C&C I really appreciate the feedback and hope that the lessons I'm learning are being reflected in my work!

few more pieces of work, some newer some older....

another Version of the pvp sig, as I was not happy at all with the first one, again im not too sure, but I feel it's better than the first

This was an experimental recolour that I really hated and didnt see working, so I gave up on it, but heres where I got to with it.

and one I made for something else, but again I hate the text, and I feel the negative space is much too much...

This ones quite nice although the blending on her hair looks alittle odd. Nice colours and i like how uv used a glow brush although i think it could be better placed. The render placement is good no problems there and the text is fairly good aswell. I think its about time u opened that PS box instead of using the GIMP dont you think ;))
 

You did an awesome job on this one!

I think to help fill that negative space you should move the text to the left more.

I love the effects you have surrounding Avril and the lighting is great! The paint splatters in pink look awesome and the font you used is gorgeous!

I love the colour you chose for the text too.

Nice simple border rounds it off nicely. =)

Awesome work on this one mate!!!
 

I actually think this is blended pretty well. There's some good brushwork here as well, no doubt about that.

I think your problem with the negative space has to do with placement. If you took everything and moved it over an inch or so it might look better...and something a little more jazzy than a plain black background would help also. :wacky:

I agree with lew, time to step up and try PS I think. :monster:
 
haha you guys are definatley wanting me to convert over to PS, but I still feel theres much more I need to learn before I'm ready to start playing with the more "powerful" tools ^^ another sig I just recently made, this one is to go with my pvp character re-roll to an esper :)

I like this one. The lightning is good and the brushworks are nice. The only thing I don't like about is the text,the purple is a bit distracting to my taste.

Keep it up,your stuff looks nice.

This one has nice soft colours and really pretty lighting although once again it seems rather empty, it needs more in the way of variation. Lower the text size aswell, it would look better.

This one i like, the render is well placed and i love how uv put a white glow in his hand, as if hes about to attack. The text is ok though i think its a little close to the border. I think an all round border would look better tbh, personally i cant stand those half ones on the side.
Good jib on this one Shaun.

Good work with the avatar, i think everything looks really good with it. Nice one.

I really love this one. It's really pretty, I like the brushes and effects used in this signature. The image is really nice, and the text is purdy xD. Really like this sig. ^^

I'm not a fan of Fallout, but this siggy is awesome. The text is spot on if you ask me, and the whole signature has a old/grey/picture feeling to it. Once again, really liking these two siggies most out of all.

Keep up the good work, Shaun! <3 Looking forward to see more.
 

This one is really nice.

I like the colour used and the lighting is very well done. I like how the edges seem to close in on the character, creating a focal point.

The effects behind the character look great too by the way. It adds great detail.

The border is okay but I think that this piece would have looked better with a border the whole way around and if it were white, I think it would stand out more in a positive way.

The text is very good and I like how the top of Jill Valentine seems to disintegrate. The faded line underneath the text also looks great.

Well done on this one.



Lovely work on this set.

The colours all work together very well and stand out brilliantly. The lighting is very well done and the huge ball of light on the right hand side looks fantastic!

I do feel that the background was a bit empty and perhaps the left of the signature should have been blended in a bit more.

Focusing more lighting on the right would have created a better focal point in my opinion.

The text is decent. I'm not quite fond of the font to be honest or how large it is and seemingly squished on the side.

Not really liking the style of border used. Perhaps a half border situated at the top and bottom would look better. Not too fond of it being on the sides.

Nonetheless well done again!


To be honest, I feel that this one was a step back from your previous works. It feels a bit too choppy and as though the images were slapped on over the background.

There seems to be a bit too much usage of those lines throughout the signature too, making it seem a bit cluttered and unorganised.

The text is placed randomly and in two different locations which I personally think doesn't look very good and the font used wasn't the best.

Sorry about all the negative comments on this one, but I really feel as though you took a step back. =/


I voted for this one in the callout. =)

I like the vines outlining the border and how it has the same colour as her top. The lighting is done very well as is the blending.

I think it would look better if the background behind her in the middle blended into the vines a little more though. It kind of feels cut off and empty.

The text placement isn't the best, and I feel a different font would have been more appropriate for this signature.

The avatar is lovely. Nice and clean. The simple one pixel border all the way around rounds it off nicely.




This feels as though the character is under a few layers. The lightning and streaks of light are covering him like a blanket.

It would look better if he was above the effects and only his sides were blended into the lightning and background effects.

If this can be achieved I think that it would look a lot better.

The font is nice but I think the placement of the text should be a bit lower.

I think that if the image was flipped horizontally it would make a difference too. I think that if he was looking to the right and the blackness on the left was behind him, as though he were leaning on it, it would look a lot better.


This one is nice and simple.

However, I felt that their was no focal point. I think that if you bring the character towards the centre more and threw some effects in behind him it'd feel more alive in an instant. =)

Once again I feel that there is too much text. I think that you should erase the 'Fallout' text down the bottom and leave the signature with just the first line you already have there.

Lower it down a bit and give it a black border to round it off nicely.

Hopefully I didn't come off too rude/negative and that my opinions/suggestions are some value to you. :gasp:
 
Thanks for the comments, there always appreciated ^^

The Sig buttons look really nice and clear!
Im not a fan of Fallout but I love the font and wording you have used in it and I love the bordering with the flowers in blind fury. If you want to call it that.
 
Seems my learning is paying off, my latest piece I was extremely happy with, it all came together in what id like to think is my best piece of gfx so far, but I'll as always let you decide through C&C ^_^
