RE: General GFX Thread - Flaming Aries - Nov. 16, 2011
To be honest every sig you have that has a c4d has a c4d that is misplaced, try using better placements for c4ds

and CRU it is too simple and dark you should stop using those effects because i have seen it a hundred times already and doesnt look good anymore your tags need more depth and lighting as well as the color
RE: General GFX Thread - RowDog - Nov. 17, 2011
Whoever said that simple was bad? You guys all seem to think that there is true way of GFXing. There are many different forms of art the same for GFXing. Simplicity can be good. Perhaps they were going for a darker light source. Sometimes they want it to have a kind of messy effect. And some people tend to stick to one style of GFXing just like a lot of artists do.
Seriously, treat GFXing as art on an computer. There are a million possibilities of what is a good GFX.
And how does Taj12s sigs don't have depth or flow? I think they look great.
RE: General GFX Thread - Synth - Nov. 17, 2011
Each GFX-ers have their own Style. Like me, Taj is somewhat a smudger.

RE: General GFX Thread - Xyo - Nov. 17, 2011
That kind of "Simple" is different and a "dark lightsource" is not possible since the lighting on the hood is a bit bright and the styles for GFX-ing are endless and most artists try different styles since we want to improve and the smudge is getting quite repetitive now well ill show you an example of flow http://gfxforums.net/thread-sci-fi-signature-tutorial-final-fantasy http://www.pimped-pixels.net/forum/index.php?/topic/6191-zenrons-guide-to-photoshop-sig-making/ Taj's tags needs depth meaning making it as third dimensional as you can and his effects cover the focal i think his stylecan get better with the use of pentooling clipping masks and more his tags also need more blending aswell also his smudging can be turned in to this = http://eddy-pochy.deviantart.com/art/Pochy-s-tagwall-half-2011-207169066?q=gallery%3Aeddy-pochy%2F24392269&qo= 10 sometimes changing styles can be helpful to ones knowledge and stregthen his or her weaknesses

For weaknesses, I'd say that you are misusing C4D's by placing them over the render, and putting non-matching ones which cause it to be very distracting. Some of your light sources are also a bit off, making it look really flat. In my opinion, I don't think abstract C4D's should ever be used in smudge signatures, only effect C4D's for lighting, and bubble C4D's. Lastly, try blending your render into the background a bit more.
Strength's are for you to make. Weaknesses are what you don't get, but you can make anything a strength if you work hard enough. So I'll let you create your own strengths and that way you don't need to ask what your strengths are.
RE: General GFX Thread - Evilfaic - Nov. 18, 2011
I don't get what I'm doing wrong with all my graphics :\
Can someone help?
Here are some of my best:

I made most of the backgrounds.
Also, I don't like to have just 1 focal point.
RE: General GFX Thread - JCx06 - Nov. 18, 2011
It's a bit too busy and too dark.

His tags doesn't have depth or flow is because the smudging doesn't have the basics and its a plain smudge , its got no flow , its random. And yes simplicity is the best sometimes but not always , it can be messed up. I'm not saying its bad anyway. Sorry if my opinions were too harsh. I apologize.
RE: General GFX Thread - Synth - Nov. 19, 2011

To render pictures then you need to use the PenTool or the paths tool in GIMP. Be sure that it doesn't go sloppy.
RE: General GFX Thread - rangaa - Nov. 19, 2011
what about in photoshop CS5?
RE: General GFX Thread - Synth - Nov. 19, 2011
just click 'p' to activate the pen tool

RE: General GFX Thread - Wolverine Mode - Nov. 19, 2011
Tbh , that's beginner (no offence). You have just pasted a Beyblade on low opacity and then added a effect c4d above him , be sure what your focal is. Btw , there is a light source in this one but it doesn't blend at all.

I say "no," it is not edited. There is a completely natural way to do that. It just takes practice with a camera.
