      IRC Nickname: Lefty Group: Emeritus Posts: 3340 Member No.: 1055 Joined: June 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 211    | Well after a good hour or so figuring out how to work Photoshop, reading a few tutorials, and looking for a render, I finally popped out a signature that I am somewhat proud of. Nothing perfect but it is the first time that I have used Photoshop and the first time I have worked with photo manipulation (all of my other signatures have been getting base images and then adding just a set of animations to it). Please post C/C for me along with a rate please.   Oh and that is Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7. Hopefully I did not mutilate him too bad.  Thanks. --------------------      | ||

 IRC Nickname: Gorgemaster Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 9840 Member No.: 3 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 540 | 8/10 Very , very nice for a first try. As the others have said, the background could have been a bit more colourful and the text as well is a little small and obscure, make it stand out a bit more next time. Overall well done. Keep it up  --------------------    | ||

 IRC Nickname: Geofff Group: Clan Friend Posts: 1238 Member No.: 608 Joined: May 12, 2008 Total Events Attended: 96 | Very good for a first try. The border at the bottom right is more transparent than other sides, I think this is because you put the border layer below the render. Text just looks a bit weird; try making it more transparent and put it over his left shoulder or something. Background needs some more blending and it's always useful to use colours which are similar for it. Not black and white  I do like your brushes on your background though, they give a pretty sweet effect. Keep it up --------------------  | ||

| IRC Nickname: Lefty Group: Emeritus Posts: 3340 Member No.: 1055 Joined: June 30, 2008 Total Events Attended: 211 | Thanks everyone for their comments. They all are valid points and allow me to see what I need to look up and learn next. On the text I was getting to the end of it and a friend of mine really wanted to see it, so I was like "Oh well.. I will do it." I pretty much followed two different tutorials on this combining them when they matched up. A few different effects between the two that I suppose is what made it a little messy. I didn't really blur any because that was something that I was going to save to learn how to do on something else, but I believe I still should have blurred here. Black background was just what was included. White texture is because of a smear. I will try to edit those a bit next time to add the "spice" to it. My skills are all a work in progress.  -------------------- | ||

 IRC Nickname: Samurai-JM Group: Emeritus Posts: 3204 Member No.: 117 Joined: January 11, 2008 Total Events Attended: 8 | Not bad dude. Only parts I don't really like are the reaaaally white parts around his head and the sword, it just distorts his form too much IMO. Otherwise, the depth and color is pretty nice. One of the best first-in-photoshop sigs I've seen in a long time! -------------------- -=}¤- Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici -¤{=-  W I N N I N G | ||
