General GFX Thread

TBH, I don't see much of a difference. Both seems too contrasted, both seems slapped together poorly, some has really poor lighting, ETC.

that's my CnC. All I can say to both of you is to read more tutorials... the "basics" not the advance ones
That being said, don't feel that reading the basic tutorials are for noobs and they're boring, etc. I still read beginner tutorials at times, just to re-establish my fundamentals. It's not a shame to read beginner/basic tutorials, it's a necessity.
can any one build me a signature which includes pisces master and kyoya with thier beyblade and my name on it of any size you like
This is not the place to ask, there are signature shops where you can request one to be made. I recommend you to ask The Bishop in his shop or Lightning Blade in her shop.
I made this in Illustrator for a Logo Project. First time with Illustrator.

Put it together for my upcoming tournament. Tongue_out

(Hope this counts as GFX, haha)
So I made a logo for my graphics "business". I have made logos and banners for some sites already Smile. Anyways, what do you think?



It's a Z and a Y for my initials.
I created my own sig. You can see it here also I made DKs sig which you can see by scrolling up. Any thoughts?
Another piece of randomness

Did you make the background? If not, all you did was add text Smile

Thanks C a o S Smile

Is it because the newer one is too monochromatic?

Mh, I really don't know, the first one transmits me something, the second one is less expressive, I don't know how to explain Smile
I see what you mean though. The first one has more of a 'life' in it than the second one?

I agree, the colors are more vibrant and contrasting in the Regal Green one. And there's lighting too.
What is the best thing download to make GFX? If this is the wrong thread please re-direct me to the right one Smile
Photoshop is probably the best. GIMP is pretty good to, and its not as adavanced as photoshop. Things like pixlr aren't near as good.

True but, I use pixlr all the time and, still make relatively good signatures. Infact, I made my newest singature using two editors. Pixlr, and Fotor (for my downloaded fonts).
What most people should do is, play around with things like opacity and, they should be able to have a somewhat good signature.

You don't just "play around" things like the opacity etc, but you have to play "smart". Sure, bringing down the opacity makes it really nice, but what if you made the layer in overlay mode? now that's going to make a difference. (I don't think overlay is on Pixlr, I know it's in GIMP and Photoshop though)

What's the first thing you do when you get a new editing program? You learn the controls, not jump INTO the editing part at once. I've learned a few simple tricks when I started to move around the UI of Photoshop. Not only it was now easy for me to go around, figure out what does what, but it makes some Tutorials easier to read. I don't have to worry if the tutorial tells me to go somewhere I originally did not know where to find.

I do recommend upgrading to GIMP though, It's kinda like Photoshop's little brother IMO.
Actually, GIMP is a selectively bred Photoshop IMO. Has the same basic tools, but different features and actually has some things Photoshop doesn't. But yeah, Photoshop > GIMP > Others

Yes guys, this is what I mean Smile
These are my first GFX; does anyone have some tips?

It would have been better if you increased the size of your canvas, those are waaaay to small for me to fine out the details...

All I can saw for now that it's very low quality. Did you save those in .png format?
I don't know what that means...

I got the images; fixed them up, and then saved them to my Camera Roll.
PNG is an image file type, which I believe it used for higher resolution than JPEG, I'm not really sure.

I'm guessing you did these on your phone? I'd recommend using your computer for the best quality plus you can change the file type.
