Serated's Tags 3.0

[Acnologia]

I noticed you have some orange lighting on the right of his head, yet the light on his body is to the left, so I'd move the bit of lighting there. I like the detail here though, especially the foreground.

[Memento Mori]

The most recent sig is very dark and has the military theme. But it seems a little too messy, nothing seems to be focused. Maybe some text could pull it together.

[Jagan Eye]

I agree with Mori on your latest sig. It feels a bit messy to me. It kinda seems like the foreground was cut out and pasted on the city background and it doesn't blend very well. Personally I prefer your anime sigs better so try out your new style with an anime character? I wanna see how it would look.

[FinalReaper]

I love this one bro. You got the lighting perfect. The blurring of the background and, the text. Awesome work.

[Vintniv]

I am trying pretty hard and going as far as possible out of my way to cripple my old style, throwing around more blunt texts, trying out more C4D effects over my normal clipping masks. But mainly, the 'Channel Mixer' and a 'Selective Color' are the two things throwing me around. So I guess we go in stages from here.


Oh, and if you will notice, a bunch of tags dont have names on them, so if you want one, feel free to ask....




















I personally like this one (the above). The colors turned out better than I imagined.

[Jagan Eye]

1st: Its very crazy and colorful and I really like it. And I wouldn't have possibly been able to guess that you had made it. I like the text but I think it should be positioned better so it flows better since it seems a bit random they way it is.

2nd: I think B&W sigs look really cool when they have a certain focus thats colored and this sig looks like it would lend itself nicely to that effect. The stroke on the right side of the head stands out from the background whcih looks very cool as well.

3rd: I love the tone of color in this sig. The light focus in the back really makes the sig look as if its happening (I dunno if that makes sense to you). All of the textwork is very awesome as well.

4th: Its simple and smudgy but it doesn't look complete. I don't like the white border on it either since it stands out too brightly. You could do some really cool text work with this sig since its fairly simple and I do like the real cloudy effect.

5th: The green is a really sickening shade of green. You should tone it down because its kinda a smile colored green which doesn't really make the sig look good.

6th: The blue and orangyness is pretty. It kinda looks like a poster or a magazine cover which is a neat effect to have on a sig.

[Darkandiel]

Personally I love the third sig. The type is spot on and the colour choices are very nice. The light coming from the back gives it some movement and dept.

I'm liking the last one as well. I'm not too fond of the type, but as for the sig itself, I'm loving it and the complimentary blue and orange work great. ^^

[Acnologia]

The first: I like how colorful it is, but it's very crazy as jaggy said, and many of the effects take away from the composition of the tag. I'd like to see more done with the background, so we can see it better :3

2nd: I have some lighting on her front and at the front of some of the effects for depth, but this is my fave. :3

3rd: I love the gangster/street feel. But the vertical lines kill the whole effect.

4th and 5th seem more like WIPs, the effects on the 5th seem to just cut off. The lighting for the 4th is very good though

6th: I like this a lot too, but the cyan orbs stick out a bit too much :3

[Aleyna]

Thanks for the signature Sera. It turned out awesome. I love all the different fonts you applied.

[Mira Kaiba]

Awesome - I really like the last sig of your last post. The colors work really well together especially the brown-orange with the pale blues.

I also really like the fashion trends sig. The background has very nice flow, and the lighting is perfect. I wirey effects on the bottom right are great for the sharpness. Love the new styles. ^^

[Vintniv]

2 new ones over the past few days. Cannot figure out how to write the next TOTW, a simple theme, yet so complicated and annoying to explain.

[Jagan Eye]

1st: The black and white on the right edge looks really good in contrast to the green tint of the signature. The way everything ends up so submerged into the smokey grunge-ness is very awesome and I just like how this signature flows. Its got a lot of depth which is nice as well.

2nd: I don't like how the text stands out like that. The white text doesn't match the whole theme of the sig either. I also find it a bit hard to focus on this sig and it seems like it was just the original stock pasted on as the background and then repasted and resized. (Even though I know you did more than that) What I do like is that on the left part, there is this cool gleam-mirror effect going on. I leaned in closer and it looks sort of like a reflection.

[Balance]

I really want to know how you do your smudging Serated. Especially on this signature.

I've been away from tag making for far too long. It's about time that I start learning something new too.
Also, this will probably be a good opportunity to make a tutorial or tip of the week.
Just a suggestion.

Also, that Mass Effect signature yells out C4D placement on the left. Don't get me wrong, it's a great signature, however I can't help but feel its awkward placement. It really just makes the signature look a lot smaller than it really should.

Lastly, that Taiga signature that you did for AF...
Man I was so surprised to see that it was you that created that signature. It strayed so much from your style, but I can't help but think how it really does reflect your style at the same time.

Let's see some more prof.

[Vintniv]

Dont make yourself scarce. New tag for myself, and tag request for Des completed. A bunch of Avatars for Minako via request, and some other random little icons.

[FluffyDango]

Wow Sera, that was suprisingly fast XD
Thank you ^^
It`s very cool, nice text

[Ωmega]

I love the new set you made for yourself. The colors are very soft and the bg isnt too distracting.

The typography for Des's sig came out really well done. I also like the use of negative space.

Out of the Mina avi's, the last is my personal favorite. The layout and text are just really nicely done.

[Vintniv]

SOTW tag, and a new one. Losing my touch already me thinks.

[Balance]

I am noticing that you really like to make the flow go in two directions thus creating the "V" effect as I like to call it. You're not exactly losing your touch but I really think that if you want to venture something different, try a radial flow signature or a single flow signature such as your latest black and white Saber signature.

I also noticed that your typography is that of a tech style that I always loved. Instead of doing that however try something different. I know you can do it prof, just takes time. Can't wait to see what you come up with next though. Perhaps the next update will be a surprise?

[Vintniv]

Will probably have to wait till after I find some new inspiration, Balance.


Tag and Avatar par Request.

[Clawdia]

Now this last piece. Is absolutely lovely to my eyes. Nice, warm colors and the lighting makes me register happy waves. A tutorial would be nice, but since it looks like it was made in a style that's similar to your usual one, I should probably just fish one out myself, eh? XD; Still, it's a nice piece, and I felt like dropping a line.

[Ms. Lucy]

Thank you so very much for the set.
The very sight of it is sublime!
The colors bring out the charm in Paprika.
I will very much enjoy this set.

Thank you again.

[Vintniv]

Bunch of new stuff. You will have to pardon the late requests, but I think they work. First one is for myself.

[Ms. Lucy]

I have no hard feelings for one of my requests to be "late".
I would rather have you take your time, rather than be rushed.
On another note though, I love it!
This is just how I imagined it would be.
This is a dazzling and radiant set.
Thank you very much!
Take all the time you need (or want) on my last request as well.

::Paprika::

[Acnologia]

First is great, but the border takes away from it, it draws my eyes away from the focal, a simple black one imo :3

Are you willing to take a request for me?

[Ωmega]

I love the House sig, so much.

Im also loving the Dead Space one, though I think I wouldve preferred it in blue...but I just like cool colors over warm ones. The green is a really nice touch and the text is nice and simple.

Post more >D
