Balance's World of GFX

(Latest Sig)
I like the splatter clip at the left there, really has a nice disintegration effect =D And with the gun, it kinda blends in with the overall theme imo.

And agreeing with Karuto; but I think the text position needs work mostly ^^;;


BTW, love Jagan Eyes' set =D The colors click so very nicely

[Balance]

All made from the default Photoshop Brushes and pen tool.

Was extremely bored.

[Jagan Eye]

Abstract sig! Haven't seen this from you. Love the nice effects and its all made with default stuff too. Quite dandy. I do love the lovely pentooling as well. Text goes nicely with the sig, pretty pretty.

[Dottie.]

The text work is smexy. But I think the G ruins the reflection thing you have going on 'cause it kinda goes into the reflection.. if that makes sense? xD

& awesome idea.
It works really well, and as Jagan said,
the pentooling there is the shizz.

[Balance]

D:
I must keep updating this thread or I'll lose my Photoshop skills. T.T
Was experimenting with text.
Sorry Kuro, you were my guinea pig for the day. >3

[Jimbow]

I stared at this for at least 2 minutes before replying, it´s so pretty!

[KuroTan]

A GUINEA PIG?! Why I oughta -

Nah. Control, control. =b

Craptastic, I'm loving the text placement on this one. *-* Thanks for making it. I appreciate it.

[Jagan Eye]

OMG PINK! Very pretty in pink. The extract you chose is quite the awesomeness. I absolutely love it. I do think the pink you used for KuroTan's name does not suit the sig though. Maybe just keeping it all the same color like the mystic magic. The lighting effects are really nice too, but I don't think the white light on her head is a good idea. Overall, tis very cute <333

[Balance]

D:
Don't say ANYTHING about the text. It needs MOAR WORK. I KNOW.
I just promised myself I would post at least once a day now.
I'll post an updated version later.

[Cotaku]

I think the text is fine. But maybe that's my love for that type of font. *drools over font* xD

I really like your latest. It's so cute! the only thing I'm not too fond of is the darkness. The pink/shadow thing doesn't really do it for me. Overall, I love it! ^.^

[Goodylucky]

I agree with Demoni, try not to use the lighting filter for your latest sig, I don't like the border being black either. I like it just with pink and white cuz the extraction looks cute, and I won't add black in the sig to ruin the cuteness ^-^;
The text doesn't look that bad, better than what I would have done anyway.
Post moar xD

I at least wanted my body to be skewered with a banana and a flowerpot once before I die.............
Listen to me as I take on *gasp* TEXT

Simple, but fits the overall theme. Hmmm, a cheat for text is change the first letter to something with a more "Emphasis" factor and kinda larger. Emphasis being flipping the letter, rotating the letter, clipmasking the letter, kanji-dized the whole word (and factor the first letter) add props to the letter and so on. Anyway, do what ever you can : D Like Kurotan-sensei once said "Art has no rules" or something along the lines. Inspired me much till this day xD

I liek your position of clipmasks there ^_^ especially around the bottom right arm, its very nice. Not overdoing it like me I guess >:bbbpppp

nicely made ^_^
(INCOMING BANANA)

[Aleyna]

I'm liking that pink sig, but I think the smudging couldv'e been less repetitive in one direction added with a bit of sharpened noise.
I love the idea of the big effects you have going like on the left hand sand, but I think they couldv'e been put together and blended better.
I see the ideas, but the transitions to make them pop out are missing.
You should edit that sig, and put it back up when you doen, cause I'd love to see it progress.

[Balance]

Yes, I realize Unli, however I was trying to be "original" instead of trying something somebody already did before.

Well, I redid that signature, and made it more PINK and BRIGHT for GoodyLucky and Demoni. Be happy, cause I normally don't. >3

Hopefully Karuto likes it.
Edit: Just saw your post Twila. o__O
I'll do it later. Blah.


Then made a new one, only using default brushes and my own vector brushes.

[Jagan Eye]

Ahaha, lovely new siggys you've got there. The lighting in the pink one seems a little off to me though, I think you should have left it without lighting, I dunno. The darkness is too overpowering. Perhaps sharpen the sig some more.
Same with the second sig. Too much darkness. The default only brushes thing is really cool though and I love how you did the background. Really looks nice. So snowy and pretty. <3

[Famahama]

Hm, maybe add some backdropping shadows to the C4D? With the perspective, it may look okay, but only some slight shadows due to the image being on a simple eye level angle when drawn ;__;

And the lighting, you may want to use the setting such as radiant (Omni?), it'll look more focused imo, since the flow kinda looks radiant as well ^^;;

[Hautalken]

A GIFT FOR ME??????????

I actually was staring at it in disbelief for quite a while. It's very pretty, you know. And thanks for taking trouble. You're a sweetheart ^^

I'm wearing it right now!!!



Oh yea, and Kuro's set was fantabulous too. Love the lighting you gave it. So pretty ^o^

[Balance]

During the SOTW #18, I had made a great signature that I personally liked, so I decided to make a different one with MY name on it. OH ho ho ho.

[Jagan Eye]

Ahahaha, so blue. Balance's color! I can say, I absolutely love the c4ds you used in this siggy. They are really cool. I kinda do feel though that this siggy is a bit too dark. Like too black? o__O But the way it came out and the effects are 'mazing. <3

[Balance]

o__O
You're right Jagan.
I decided to change that.
A bit more blue now.
It does look a lot better now.



This time, I did more brushwork than pen tool, and clipping masks.
Also tried a few new things.

[Balance]

Yeah, so I took a break.
Big deal.
I made a signature for each day I was absent. So bleh.


A birthday present for a friend of mine. On another forum. =D

[Jagan Eye]

More siggies! The first two are really good. I love the way they came out and how they look, though I think the third one should be a bit more glossy. Its kinda dullish and the yingyang sign looks oversharpened. The extract you used in the second one, you should send it in. >3

The third one is kinda hard to make glossy, and I don't know exactly what you mean by that either, but I have a rough idea and even before it was sharpened, it looked oversharpened anyway. But yes, I do agree that it doesn't look too smexy at all...

And the extract was done by MaruDashi long time ago. Check it out. ;D

Made a new signature, using an actual person!
But it didn't have the flow I wanted it to. D:
Hope she enjoys. =\

[Dottie.]

You can change the text settings for pixel texts like that to none and it'll look much better, although if you prefer this look then by all means its fine. :3

The picture is rather awesome, the colours and contrast *0*
The flow is kinda nyyyaaaahhh, I like it around her, but when it goes grey, it looks like its taking up too much space, maybe try to crop a bit of that out of it?
Lurve your lighting though <33

Keep up the awesomeness Balance dear. :3

[IchigoKiss]

That's one fantastic sig
I really like this greeny color scheme maybe change
the color of the pixel.Overall it really good
