xAaronx Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Lesse I'll go down the list,but before I continue I will state this,If I sound mean or anything offensive I do not mean it to sound that way I'm just saying on how I see it,don't hold my judgement against me lol..First up #1First problem I saw with this is the background,its a good image stock to use as a sig but you made it a little too dark,I suggest trying to add light to it or somehow toning up the brightness without overexposing it.The Second Problem I saw is the Text it looked like a good idea but its best to let it blend into the thing your putting it over in this case you could have tried to do a Blue Text with black border this would have let it blend into the flames and at the same time kept it defined enough to be able to read.The Flames are fine as is.#2This was a much MUCH better attempt at a sig,but first the logo,you never want to have the logo in the sig unless its dedicated to the anime if you cant erase it try to crop the image so that it cuts it out aside from that the only problem on this one is the Text,it looks like a basic text which is good for basic stuff but won't give it any style,if possible try to download some new font's like from Fontonic((a font website)) and possibly try to blend it into the scene a bit better.#3Your current set.The Avatar looks fine as it is,The sig looks good too and everything looks fine except the eye,I think it should have been left Red it would have made the sig look alot more like a Itachi Sig.The shadow on the right looks alright but you should try to have 1 focal point to the sig cause when I look at it I focus on the text in the blackout character more than the sig itself.Depending on what Program your using to make your sets you're making good progress,just keep working hard at it and you'll get better in no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the first one was way to dark, thats why I never used it as a sig, still i thought it would be good to post it anyway.And as for my current set I think Ill try seeing how the eye looks red in the sig. Its a great Idea and I guess it stops the blue overpowering the sig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Lord Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Great work on these too! Looks great, especially the ones with deidara and with kaminaThere my two favourites from the group to, there are some I create that really get a flame going in me and they turn out wicked.I really like the direction you were going with the Itachi and Goko sigs. They both look greatcheersTo each his own, im trying to get as many styles in as possible, the itachi one was one of my old signature and one of my best, as for the goku one it was hard to make but its also the most different out of all the sigs ive made so im glad you like it!Alrighty then heres more of my work, I have 4 signatures this time:As usual please rate and comment, it helps me grow as a GFX artsist.

lemmingllama Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 All of these are pretty good. Biggest complaint is the text on these ones, vegeta and yoko's doesnt really match that well. Though I do love the choice of background for the yoko and revy, you seem to be very good at fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah I think I need to get away from firey signature and try some new styles haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe try modifying that one to spice it up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hey J-Lord, you are getting better at making sigs, so I'm assuming you're using Photoshop. I thought I might hop in and give you a few tips that I normally use in my sigs. Learn to use a lot of clipping masks (google for tutorials if you have to) they are hell useful and good skill to have (good for making text blend in sigs, like my one, yeah text are one of the hardest things to make it work), also learn to use the smudge tool one of the easiest way to make good effects. I use those two a lot... good skill to have xD Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was using photoshop at one point then my trial days ran out. So now I use Paint.net, Its not as good as photoshop but I can use it really well now. I have created ever sig with it from the deidara one down. But im planing on getting photoshop again, eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reptoholic Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 your current sig and the one of what looks like Goku would have to be my favorites. Then the red one in your first update.. Over all, they all look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Lord Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Update:(Without Text)(With Text)(Without Text)(With Text)Animated Sigatures:This one was my first attempt but as you can see the loop is off.2nd attempt at an animated sig is much better, the loop is long with 18 frames and you do not notice the loop restarting.
