General GFX Thread

Love the render! Mind linking to it?

I also like how the yellow is kinda like "musical energy" or something.
LOL. I'll upload the render k? Credits to a pack in GFX Forums by z3r0c00l.


Sorry for the double post but for those interested on how I make my sigs in GIMP, PM me. I finally realized how to take screenshots. XD
BeybladerPotter, I do not know if the Cinema 4D picture was made like that, but I easily notice the same yellow/orange shapes more than twice, and that is unforgivable, it is way too lazy.
^Eh...It was made like that already..
^Thats for you battle in GFXF right Wink ? I will lose against you lol.

Then you need to change such lazy things when you see them.

OhMyGosh, it's Nagato! I didn't even notice in the original signature.

I've never found the "Color to alpha" button until now, and I wanted to really try it out.

I know I've used these renders before, but comments?

Sparta: Too many renders being used, SOS Brigade logo has bad cutting and perhaps remove the inner white parts of the logo.

Also, the at the back look really weird like that.

Agreed. I originally intended to only use Nagato (Which would've been better), but I wanted to experiment with this. The SOSB logo was just laziness on my part, because I used the wand for it.

OK, thanks for the advice, Medz!

The outer glow seriously doesn't look good , remove it. The scanlines are distracting my focus , drop them down too. The 3D effect looks nice. Render placement is OK but move it to a bit right. Text is bad , especially with that font its better using Tahoma or arial.

Good job Smile.

I love it.
I don't know why but I really just absolutely love it.
Especially the white/blue smudging effect but also the dots.
Cool as.
^ The render? LOL. Kidding. Anyway, thanks. The "blue" smudging is actually the render it self, colorized to aqua and smudged. The dots...are just different sizes of hard round brushes at 40-50% opacity brushed on a transparent layer overlayed to all the other layers...so it basically is the frontmost layer set at Overlay. LOL. DJ - Fab!

DOS DAMM SCAN LINEZ!

I hate them sooo much, and that's why I never use them. Personally, they kinda ruin sigs for me, because they are distracting and make it so you have to focus to see what's under them...
^That and I don't even know how to use them. LOL.
Just use scanlines in really bright sigs, and lower its opacity to 50-60% or so

Neither do I lol. They look cool.
Challenge!, I just want to comment on your sig now. You have potential and that shouldn't go to waste.

Never put a lot of renders. You just do 1 focal. It is distracting. Don't also put your focal in the middle. It causes bad composition. The sig isn't neat. It's kinda messy but I like the outside effects. Speaking of that, you need more effects. Your blending is almost perfect. Also...don't do text. Tongue_out

Good job! Grin
You can put lots of renders, as long as it doesnt ruin the flow (c4d are renders btw)
