Gackt Signature - Kei - Nov. 21, 2007

Lol, I was trying to figure something out on Photoshop and eventually I just started making a signature and this came up xD

Any comments/suggestions?

RE: Gackt Signature - Bey Brad - Nov. 21, 2007

Green is not a very Gackt colour.

RE: Gackt Signature - Kei - Nov. 21, 2007

I think it looks good, maybe I could have picked a better colour scheme though. I honestly just picked a random colour for what I was trying to figure out (was using this picture of Gackt) because I knew I needed one and when I did figure it out I didn't change it.

RE: Gackt Signature - Nic - Nov. 21, 2007

Apply a hue/sat layer or colour balance or gradient map or plain old sheet of colour with blending option and see what you can work with.

Edit: yeah, the colour scheme you're using is really easy to recolour.

I'll see what I can do tomorrow and I'll post if I get anything save worthy.

so thats what that thing was

RE: Gackt Signature - Kei - Nov. 22, 2007

Played around with some of the things Nic suggested, this is what I've got:

Still has some green in it, but not as dark as you can see. Comments/suggestions?

RE: Gackt Signature - Roan - Nov. 22, 2007

It's better, but I still don't really care for the shade of green you used.

I think a different color altogether is in order, to be entirely honest. As Brad said, Green is not a very Gackt color. lol

RE: Gackt Signature - Kei - Nov. 22, 2007

Any suggestions? Lol, I can't seem to think of a good one.

RE: Gackt Signature - Roan - Nov. 22, 2007

Try a light blue. Not too light though. If you get to sky blue, you've gone too far. lol

If, say, this wasn't a "Gackt" sig, rather, it was just a sig using a photo of an artiste, would the colour matter so much?

It wouldn't, but it's a Gackt sig, so I don't see your point.

RE: Gackt Signature - Roan - Nov. 22, 2007

Well I'm just saying that the green overlay he has on Gackt matters because it makes him look weird.

Kei's revision is a bit better because you can sort of make out his skin tone, but I think it's still too much green. It makes Gackt look like a martian or something.

RE: Gackt Signature - Bey Brad - Nov. 22, 2007

I think the whole thing is just weird to be honest.

I agree, honestly.

I think this piece would be better without Gackt's presence as a standalone abstract piece. The background looks interesting enough to warrant the space.

Why not try that Kei?

Hmm I'm trying to look at this as just a piece of art, without any external influences.

It's sort of difficult to take off a green overlay when that is the color of the image I was using. When I mentioned I was trying to figure something out, I was trying out this little tutorial since I was bored. Doing that tutorial makes it difficult for skin tones to show up.

Thats a thought, I'll play around with it some more and see what happens.

Honestly, I don't think it looks that bad right now, even if it isn't a very Gackt colour like Brad and Roan said.

RE: Gackt Signature - Roan - Nov. 22, 2007

Well I don't think it looks bad by any means.

Also, if you want to keep Gackt, maybe you could try darkening the shade of green you're using to a deeper forest-green. Of course, that might make it too dark for Gackt to stand out, but at the moment the only thing I don't like about this piece is the shade of green you're using.

I'm just throwing out some ideas. Smile

RE: Gackt Signature - Bey Brad - Nov. 22, 2007

It just looks weird ...

That font is weird ... the background is weird ... even the picture of Gackt you chose is weird.
