Yurka's sigs

[Dottie.]

The first one is good except in my opinion, i would have had more of his body showing instead of having the effect render over most of it. I love the flow of the signature :3 it works well. Nice work on the second one aswell, its simple and neat.

[Yurka]

Been a month or so since my last ones so, here's a new one. Being busy isn't fun at all.



Emil sig, not sure about text yet again so nothing with this version. ._.

Comments are appreciated and stuff.

[KuroTan]

Nice. Very nice. Loving the flow on this one, though it looks a tad oversharpened. But it's not that big of a problem.^^

[ChibiSasukex]

I really like all the banners u got another thread for avvies?

[Yurka]

Arceuid set.

Also, no don't really have another thread for avatars. I just don't tend to do them often.

Thanks for the comments though.

[LittleMomo]

Dazzling and can never set my eyes off of it ^^ Keep it up :]

[Yurka]

Thanks, Temp. [:

Misa sig I did yesterday.



Her cuteness overlaps anything I could do with this sig. This cosplayer's just amazing. <3

Very nice flow.
But I think the lighting is a bit odd.
It's all over the place.
But that's just my opinion.
Not bad though.
I suggest doing something about the negative space you've got there on the left side of the signature. =\

[Yurka]

I was thinking about putting some text in that area, but I usually can't get text working well into my sigs. Sucks for me. ]:



This new one is a perfect example. ]: I'm never satisfied by it. It just looks wrong or something.

Don't worry.
I think it looks fine.
Excellent flow though.
I think it looks truly outstanding.
Just a lot of negative spacing...
Perhaps some wire frame C4Ds?
Oh and try Clipping Masks.
They help a lot.
And you could also use this filter.
After you have applied the entire image (that is when you are done...)
Go to Filter>Render>Lighting Effects.
Then from there, you will be able to truly manipulate the lighting of your signature professionally.
Also, you could just use Canvas Size and make the signature smaller on the width.
Because it has a lot of negative space as I said.

But honestly, you have some true potential to become number one.
Can't wait to see more from you. ^^

[ericajones80]

I agree with Balance...this would look even better with a little cropping

[Yurka]

Hm. I'm gonna try and fix that Ed one. Thanks for the tips.

Anyway, I'm not sure about this one. It looks rather weird, and I tried to fill up space somehow but yeah. Not sure.. o_o

[Mira Kaiba]

Nice sigs - I especially like the Ed and Misa sigs. The coloring and lighting on your sigs is amazing.

On the Ed sig, I would tend to agree that it could use some cropping on the sides - there's a lot of negative space. Maybe you could also add some lighting flares and glow lines (pen tool) around Ed's hands, or use clipping masks as Balance suggested.

I love your rich color choice on the sig though. Awesome works!

[mikadzuki]

Thanks, Temp. [:

Misa sig I did yesterday.



Her cuteness overlaps anything I could do with this sig. This cosplayer's just amazing. <3

It's Alodia/blackmage9 in her Misa Misa look. Yeah, she is an awesome cosplayer. ^^

On the sig however, I think the effects distracts the eye from Alodia--taking the attention from her. The flame on her left seemed to be in a different direction than the character position seem to imply. The lighting seems off... the right side is aflame but the side of Alodia's head is shadowed. I think if the flame effect on the right were to be on the left, and thinned out a bit, it would be smexy ^^ You can also try to dodge or burn the areas to correct/enhance the lighting... or you can try brushing low opacity black on the corners or in some areas to coax the eyes to look at the focus of the sig, Alodia. ^^

[Famahama]

That looks awesome! Probably because of the C4D/stock in the background and because of the hand that seems popping out rather than doing nothing.

Love the lighting, composition and sharpness.
Also, theres white, unextracted bits around the left side of the hair and fingers lol

SEND ME THE EXTRACT/STOCK!

[Yurka]

Lol. Kayz, Unli. ;3




Anyway this sig is part of my new set. I followed some of Mika's suggestions and I think it turned out nicely. Alodia again. xD Thanks for letting me know who she was by the way. She's got tons of great pictures. <3

[Yurka]

Been a while. Here's some stuff I've done in the past few months.









As you can see I still phail bad at text choice and placement. I'd love anyone that could teach me and get me better at it. Why yus.

Oh, and credit to Serated for the sexy Sasori render. ;p

[UrusaiSevera]

hmm...
Well I have to say your background effects look really good.
I do have some comments and critiques though.

The first one, with the warrior, the blending is nice and the colours are nice. But the left side and right side of the signature differ too much, one side is too chaotic, whilst the other side is very calm and has a nice flow to it. I think you should balance it out or perhaps some text placement on the left will fill it up and it won't look so empty and different to the right side.

Sasori signature, very very very nicie background and the effects used look gret, but there is hardly any interaction between "sasori" and the background, there is little depth and the blending is to a minimum. What's really making this signature look great is the background and not the interaction between character and 'surrounding'.

Hunter x Hunter signature, again.. very nice back ground effects, the lighting is nice, also it has a great flow to it. But kill the glow all around the character, it looks quite ... bad. Then the ball of .. something, very nicely made, looks great! But doesn't he have a hand behind there? Because of the effects you applied on that area the hand has completely dissappeared, yet the sleeve is still there. So perhaps making the hand appear again would be a good idea, then the image would make more sense.

And yeah.. frankly said .. you're bad with text. You should look at what the whole "feeling" of the signature is. straight laced type can look very good with these signatures. With signatures that give off a "dark" feeling swirly or curly type just won't do, it doesn't match at all. Though the effects you applied to the text in the last signature are good, it would look better in a 'normal' type. And don't be afraid to use some big typefonts. A big and bold type could look good with the sasori signature.
And last ut not least, don't be afraid to turn your text to a different angle, because on all the signatures on this page the text has been placed horizontally on it.

But all together your works look pretty good

ooh yeah.. merged with older thread

[Yurka]

Kind of figured that out on the Nightmare signature. Wanted to fill up that space with text but just couldn't come up with anything worthwhile. D:

I see what you mean on my Sasori one though. I concentrated too much on making the background flashy and all and forgot to blend in the render as well. Well, nothing a little editing of the psd file can't fix. Could try and get better text working on while I'm at it. ;3

As for the HunterxHunter I kinda wanted it to look like 'power' was coming out of his hand, guess it just got 'lost' in there. I could always lower the opacity on that layer and see what comes out of it.

Thanks for the tips btw.

Anyway new sig.



CnC appreciated.

[*Shiori Tenka*]

I like how the lighting matches the character, and how it's complex and simple at the same time; however, there's a bit too much negative space in the left of the signature that makes it seem off balance. Other than that it's a pretty good signature, good job.

[Pseudonym]

I'll comment on your latest Lelouch signature. :]
I really like the colours you used; it fits well with the character. However, I don't think the background flows very well. The right side has more effects than the left side.
And yeah, I have to agree with Shiori Tenka that there is quite a bit of negative space on the left.
Overall, this signature is well done. =]

[Acnologia]

Floating headddd >: Add more of his body in :3

And to get depth with the smudging, apply the image on a new layer and go to filter - other - high pass, set it to overlay and erase the ew parts. Your smudging is very nice though.

I tried that technique you talked about. It's like adding contrast layer to the sig and pretty much I think the blur/sharper technique works better, most of the time.

Now that you mention it though, he looks kinda lost in there. Maybe I shouldn't have deleted his cape and everything. Thanks for the smudge comment too. ;p

Anyway two sigs I did while I was bored the other day. They're pretty crappy, but I guess that's what happens when you're bored and have no ideas.

[Aleyna]

I love the paint effects into the image's hat and hair on the 2nd newest sig. It'd look great with some text in the lower left corner.

[Yurka]

Seeing as the voting process is already over, I might as well post this.
