General GFX Thread

Thanks NoodooSoup Im gonna try when i get home im going to school XD
bugturtles, Photoshop is officially recognized as the standard, and almost, if not ALL graphics designers use it. And Adobe is the standard for practically anything to do with graphics. Photos, videos, stories, everything. Gasp
Xyo, for lightsources, look at your render, where is it lighter, and where are the shadows. The shadows is the darker side, and the lighter side is the side where the light source needs to be. Look at my Izaya signature, right beside his head is where I chose the lightsource to be because that's where it looks natural.
Ah i get it now thank Vintage and what is that behind Izaya?
othellog, the second signature you made feels crisp, as it seems to used the Burn 'n Dodge Tool.

Theoretically, though, that would require you actually having a light source which you failed to supply.

Here is just something I made with Sumudge Blending:

NOTE: The lightning in the below signature is supposed to be as such, please no personal opinions.

Nice what brush did you use for smudging? and the BG looks like clouds
I really like the way it was smudged, definitely. But the top right corner seems to distract me for some reason, possibly the blur there? I'm not sure, but it's still really nice.
BeybladeStation, did you use a tutorial for that one? I remember seeing one exactly like that.

I do not use brushes.

Everything is self made, unlike some other GFX'ers here. [Of course not the render, though]

Vintage

Thanks man, ya I'll fix that

NoodooSoup

I made this one from a tut from sigtutorials.com

I made it from scratch! Very nice, I used:

-Rule of 3rds
-Brush Selection
-Burn 'n Dodge
-Outer Ball of Light
-Gradient Map OP - 32%
-Overlayer Apply Image for all layer FULL Edit

All in a good 1 hour. I like the result, could'a been better.
Gradient maps are awesome.

Ya, that might be my favorite feature. Smile

You should completely drop the text for that... I'm slightly confused as to why I have a feeling there is something wrong... (this is the reason I'm bad a GFX I struggle to identify faults)

Considering your current signature, this really isn't bad! I like the background.

You should have more confidence in yourself, you were pretty much right about that. Text should fit, and text should never be that far spaced apart, or that large. But the signature is pretty nice for someone who's just beginning.

thanks but I personally just that the text would be badly placed If I put it on the top. and I used fragments or whatever they are called

Because people didn't give their opinions before. My first (and only, so far) signature.
Not bad. Did you stretch the image? Looks a little weird...
Yea, a bit. I might make a new version in a couple of months.

Also, try a thicker text in, maybe, blue. I may be a no0b, but I think that'll look better.
You don't need months, you can make it now! In like 5 minutes.

Just take your time and you'll get it man! It looks hood, just a little too flattened out.
I can't do any work right now, and I'll be working on a lot of things. Thanks though.
I can make it for you and send a .PSD if you want?
Ok, that will be fine.
Just send me the render of bull.
