Tswarthogs photoshop works

[tswarthog]

Well hey everyone, Im newish to the forum but I hope to get to know most of you soon. One of my many hobbies that i enjoy putting time into is photoshop. Just recently I have discovered my style of sigs that i enjoy to make and im working hard to get better at the style. Here are my latest sigs going in order from old to new.

Right now im trying to figure out why photoshop is making my shapes have very pixely edges...anyone have any ideas? I know its not from sharpening because my latest tag never even got sharpened.

Anyway hope you enjoy and I will keep the thread updated.











Here is when I started to get into my current style-

Wow, very good siggies I must say. I especially like your Ah! My Goddess siggie one. The first one in your current style seems to be a bit plain, though. And on Ah! My Goddess one, I think you over-sharpened it a bit. But overall, I think they are good. ^^

First, Second, Third and Ninth are my personal favorites.

The first one is the best one, imo. Brilliantly done. Did you do the background yourself?

On the second though, the image seems a bit too blurry compared to the sharp sky and stars. Belldandy is a bit oversharpened as well. The ninth one (Lol sorry I can't really identify her right now) on the other hand, is undersharpened. Too blurry compared to the near vectors and there seems to be a thin white outline around her.

Otherwise, great stuff. I look forward to whatever you may come up with~

Thank you, for number one that was a random attempt at a smudge sig (i suck at smudge lol) I basicly took a stock image and smudged it like crazy with a splatter brush and changed the colors around, added some c4d's (bubble style) into the background and blended.

I agree with all that was said about the vector peices the 9th one is Yoko from gurren lagann. That render was a bad one from photobucket but the pose seemed "usuable". Nothing new to post yet exept for another Yoko one. Hopefully i can find some more spare time to keep going.

I'm loving your style <33 colorful and lively.
Though I think many of your signatures with that style is missing flow and depth. Though depth might not be necessary, I think flow is.

In your latest one there is no flow that goes along with Yoko and everything just seems pretty random. I don't like the... weird stuff on her hair and arm o.o;; (pink and turquoise)... it looks like you did that quickly in paint. I also think the two lines on the right looks very out of place.

My favourite one is the first one you posted. It has a nice balance between the colors and she blends in well too.

you create really nice sigs! they flow very nicely with the drawing and effects. XD your really good!

Now thats what i call nice use of colors and imagination. I really like your signatures. First one , with the fire start , really nicely finished.
Actually all of your sig are well imagined and well made. The use of colors is the main attraction which makes the signatures better.
Nice job , hope to see more of your work.
