How did you do that BP?
Its another attempt of smudging and blending using effects.

As far as I know, vector sigs have very little depth or don't have depth at all...Uncertain But the better BG problem could be fix. Maybe using textures as a BG no?

@Izuma: I don't know if you could get it seeing as I made it in GIMP. Uncertain
I see. it is ok, gotta search up a tut for that
May i ask, what are the best setting in GIMP for smudging?

And BP, the thing i told you in the PM is our little secret, OK?
Yup. Absolutely.

On topic: Anways, for smudging I use:
A hard round brush on 75 strength.
The vine brush on 60 strength.
The sparks brush on 50-95 strength.

That's what I use.

Lovely flow. You got some skills with teh pen-tool, KIU.
Where did you get the Japanese/Chinese font?

Font pack, I could email it to ya if you wanted..... and thanks

To your smudge tag:
BAD COLOR CHOICE same goes to putting a shadow.get rid of the flare effect. it makes my eyes hurt

also, what does KIU mean?
EPIC man, epic
Izuma, it's a stock.

Xyo, move the render with the C4D and lighting to right side, it's almost in the center, otherwise, not bad, I like it.

BP, I like your style. The thingy on bottom-right is distracting and it's not blended well, the top-left part is kinda plain, so moving the sword-thing to a little bit left would help, more so, it will add more flow and depth.

It's a decent piece, IMO, KIU.
Yah...I noticed the left path over there on the far-right after I had finished so yeah...
I see. well, you could have gotten rid of it
^What are you referring to? Challenge's or Xyo's? ?_? •|
Me, about "To your smudge tag:

It happens, Izuma.
I like the 2nd one better, makes more sense

I like the textural effect but it seems too crowded and i find it hard to concentrate on the render. It seems to be a part of the background, not the focal of the tag. But I like how you have started to use colour Smile

I spent some time doing this, experimenting with smudging, having used two different smudge brushes and of course the light source. This time I also spent more work on detail.

CnC please.


Also, can we make threads for tutorials we made and want to share?

IIRC GFX stands for Graphic Effects.
EDIT: I could be wrong, though....

Nice colours and I like the effects, but the render is too dark and I can't make it out, therefore ruining the focal point. Make it lighter and easier to see. It is also a tad crowded.

My new tag:

I changed the render and effects behind it, I also edited the BG slightly. CnC please!
How is this? I love this one. CnCs please

I don't really like this one personally. the brush strokes are to bright and is to big to be a light source. But I like your BG effects.

CnC on my current sig please!
I feel kindda bored looking at it. i mean. pokemon? sure it is new in B&W but heck, i dont play. but my GOD MOTHER DOES! **** dont give a care bout pokemon. and about the real sig now................. good overall. just lacks a real focal. and try to use pen lines. it would look much better.
