Ok firstly the red signature; the render is fine but it looks pixelated, if it came like that then you can't really do anything about it but if you sharpened it i suggest erasing or lowering the opacity around the hair on her forehead, it distracts me xD. I can see your getting better at the blending of the render :3 but don't forget to put a border on the sig and if you did im sorry ^^;; Nice choice of colours for the second one, goes well with the render. The first one is my more favourite one though, i really like the colour composition.. pleases the eye. Also try to be more creative with your text, try looking for a custom font website/and use cutom fonts, add more text to distinguish the render for example etc etc. Hope that helped <3

NO to Jpeg (Quality issues seen on signatures)

I think you should start with easier images first, the one you used seems unusable to me. Probably due to the sharp pixels.
Overall monochromatic and looks a bit like random effects. Lay down on the C4Ds, they only help sometimes >_> Try changing styles, its getting a bit repetitive now.

(TEMPERANCE)
Maybe crop some bits to lessen the negative spaces. Add a border too, as .Myz said. Text work needs some buffing up, yours' seems plain, make it look pretty. The effect movement seems so messy imo, go for flow.

How many C4Ds do you have anyway?

Time to get my GFX refreshed I haven't posted in such a long time xD well here's the sig I made:

[Jose]

Wow amazing I love it, but myself think it's too bright you should lower the opacity in some of the screen or lighten only layes o_O

and I think it's too wide also, try to darken up the text >.>, can't tell if you have a border, if not you should try one ^^


I love it sooooooo prettyful =D

[Evockzi]

I have the agree on the Brightness but the Contrast is excellent in my opinion. the Text is indeed hard to see, I usually just add a Small thin Shadow under it which highlights it a bit more.

[law~]

Looks good d(^_^)
I would just add a border, it would look nicer.
the colors are great

[LittleMomo]

I'm starting over a clean slate

For Neo-chan:

[Neo-chan]

OMG! Thank you so much! XD I love it! Thank you! I like the way you blend in the colours. Just love it.

[LittleMomo]

This time I hope that I have seen improvement, well here everyone, here it is:

[Famahama]

May want to show more of the extract, I had to look for the focus there for a while ^^;;
I like the lighting at the back there, the one in red. Has depth. Really nice depth.
The white lights, hm, they are a bit too strong and distracting imo. Colors is mixed kinda strangely ^^;; too much colors for a character that looks quite dark. To cheat the color problem, Gradient Map is your friend.

Overall, learn to work with colors

[Hautalken]

My!! Don't your sigs blend well. Too well actually. I'm not having trouble in finding the focus point, but I'm afraid Unli's right.

I think the reason your extracts barely show is because you're trying to get depth. Is that it?

[LittleMomo]

Okay, so not so much on lighting problems, but now I have to focus on what colors should I blend. Otherwise, I'll be just placing random colors that wouldn't fit into my extraction.

[LittleMomo]

This is for Kana-kun, comments if you like:
(extraction and credit to Surion)


(although it's bright, I was really aiming for a more "heavenly" mood)

This is one without the bright stuff at the bottom:

[Hautalken]

I like the second one!! But do smething about that "Hatsune Miku" text at the bottom right. It doesn't look too good.

[LittleMomo]

text fixed:

[Knuffle Bunny]

It's very cute, but if only you could blend your text as well as your extracts.
The font still feels out of place, maybe because the gray feels dull compared to the rest of the shocking blue.

Get rid of of the clouding on the face will help bring out your extracts more. Remember that the eraser is just as valuable as the brush.

"kana-kun" is also a gray, add more color. And switching the placement of hastune miku and kana-kun might helpMakes me feel like Hastune is the person ment for the sig and miku is called kana...especially since "hastune miku" is written in larger font [that, or it just looks bigger due to the cursive.]

Perhaps a border might be nice as well.

Anywho, the sigs are very cute. Keep up the good work! =3

[LittleMomo]

Yay! next goal: Blending my texts

40% of 100% GFX skills upgrade

[Yurka]

It looks nice, but overusage of C4D's that I see there? You should try a different blending style besides using C4D's. It just makes the sig look too crowded imo. Blending looks fine but yeah, too crowded. =/

Text needs some work too, but Akari covered those points already. Keep it up, though. [:

[Jagan Eye]

Ahhh! The colors are gorgeous! Very bright and lovely, though I do think you could use the burn tool to add more more depth in the siggy. Also add a border, this siggy seems like it would need one. I love the extract you used and the c4ds look pretty on the siggy. And I like the version where I can see the microphone. :3 Lovely stuff.

[LittleMomo]

Without any tutorials, this is what I can do.
My new sig:

[~RiOtFoRpHoEnIx~]

One of your best sigs in my opinion having looked through the entire thread in curiosity (sp?). Blending is much better and not too heavy on the lighting this time around, text is fairly good and good choice of colours to match the render. Only thing I can think of on where to improve, maybe add a little something more so there's little empty space on the side of her ... maybe some more brush work might do it or even additional text. Keep up the good work and you'll get there no problem

[LittleMomo]

Thank you very much, glad to hear that I'm improving ^^

[FluffyDango]

I just have to comment on this one.


I love the effect around the figure.
The ligthing effects are realy nice.
The bg`s nice.
The text in it is so nice.
(many nic :P )
Awesome siggy ^^

[LittleMomo]

Well, here's a sig for Steel:



yea well, I do pretty horrible so sorry if it's bad ^^;

[Dotbeat.]

like the simpleness of the concept , its very beautiful in a way .
That it shows a ''promisng'' emotion or something .
Its very soothing imo . i like the celestial swirl on the guy/girl .
Keep it up ^__^ .
