    Default My new sigs

    I just got gimp yesterday, here are my first tries.



    This is my first try I think it's okay for a first, but it still sucks.



    That was my second sig I think it looks better than the first, but I can get better.



    This one was for me and also my newest. Thanks for looking.

    ( Comments and criticism wanted)



    I MADE IT.

    I think I like the one with Gengar the best. It has a lot of detail on the background and on Gengar himself. I like the effects yu used as well, keep it up.

    Post 1:
    The first sig the effects are somewhat too shard, and you generally don't wanna put too much effects on the characters you put in the picutres.

    The second sig the concept is nice but this one has nothing much doen at all on the character render and so it looks like a cut and paste which is okay very VERY rarely.

    The third sig, the text is hard to read try eperimenting with colors. Also there is a lot of empty space in the sig try experimenting with brushes and layer types.

    Post 2:
    Both signatures are very amaturish, like I've said experiment with brushs and effects try to get thr right amount of empty and used space. Keep an eye on your text.

    Finally most sigs look awkward without a border (exceptions are mainly with sigs with invisible effects like the gringar one) Try adding a border to sigs, it gives and idea of the space inside it and makes it more visually appealing.

    I look forward to seeing more from you.
    Sig and avy by me.

    Hi! I ahve GIMP too and need help. xD So, I liekd your Gengar signature and I wanted to knwo hwo you got the gengar to sort of... Stick of of the box of the sig. I ahve been wanting to do that for YEARS! xD

    And if ya need help on brushes, hi.

    Your first signature isn't so bad, but nto too clear on the character. But I cna see its from Naruto, right?

    Your second one, I ADORE th background effect, but you are right on hwo you can still get better. I suggest in that huge gap, maybe above Gengar, could put some text or soemthing, toher wise move the word Gengar to the middle more or less.

    Your thrid, is pretty clear except for the word "Kei" and could be more detailed.

    Your forth... i dun like Ronge in the first palce. xD


    Oh, Silver is one of my favs! Mna, for me at least, those Sonic games are fun! Unfortunately, I forget which game ahs Silver in it... dang it.. I ahve the money but not the name of the game??? >< I think I like the Silver ona nd Gengar one the best.

    You just have to work on making the sigs blend together a bit better. Other then that, it's a great start.

    In GIMP 2 you have your sig and everything thing out, then depending on your settings on either your bottom most layer or your upper most layer, Click rectangle select tool, then create a square that surrounds the sig (it doesn't have to fit perfectly it can be biiger than the sig the outcome will be the same)

    Right lick inside the sig and got to "Edit" on the little selection bar that comes from that hit "Stroke Selection..." from there just choose your settings and then hit "Stroke" and you have your basic border.

    (I usually have my stroke setting to either 1.0 or 2.0 pixels and the color of it changes with the signature you can see examples in my sig thread here:

    It's okay for beginner users of GIMP. And it's pretty cool. But i dislike the text. Really. No Offense. I really just hate it. But i know you can do better and i know that you would improve in making banners. That's why i believe you can make better signatures than others. :P. I like the Gengar banner by the way.

    parallelines.

    You're already getting better, but like your question points out the character is not blended, now for blending I use Pixia but I beleive there is a feathering tool you can use for it. Unfortunately I can't firgure out how to do that in GIMP on the spot like I did with the border, you might want to look up a tutorial or two in the editing tips and tutorial forum.

    The latests sig again has a nice concept but this time there's too much going on, there is no flow the background flows against the lightning effects and the lightning there is too much of as well you want the character to be the focal point of the sig so usually you want to have things flowing towards them, in this case angle the lightning to look like it was striking towards him or even coming from him.
    Sig and avy by me.

    And if you don't already know, to add font to gimp is basically the same as adding brushes.


    Another question for anyone, how do I make the picture blend better. What do you do?
    Here's an easy way to blend characters in.

    First take the character layer and duplicate it.


    Then take the duplicated layer (on top), go to filters, blur, and then gassien <-(Miss spelled) blur it at about 10-12, it will look like this.


    Then take the blurred layer, and click the drop down box that says normal and change it to overlay.


    And there you have it. You can also smudge the edges to make it blend in, but don't do it too much, or it might ruin it.
    Also another way to do the borders is to make a new layer on top, go to select, select all, then go to edit, stroke selection, and there you go. Basically the same, but you don't have to manually select where to stroke. Also you can select the same drop down box that says normal and change it to screen(I think, if that dosen't look right try to other ones). It makes the border layer blend in better.

    Edit: Also, on your font, I recommend using arial, I use that for most of my sigs.

    Another for Rogue, Since the first looks like crap.



    I think this is the best so far. I tried hard on this. I put the border like Nephilim said, I tried to make the character blend well, and got a better text thanks to Sev. So please comment and criticize.



    I couldn't find anything else to do to it. comment and criticize.

    Commenting on both sigs, I like the second one better.
    On the sonic sig, the background color does not match with the character render. I would desaturize the background and adjust the color a little bit. And the color off the border is sticking out. It matches, but it sticks out to me. And the render dosen't quite blend in. Remember when making a sig, you don't just want a render pasted over a background, you want to make it look like it belongs there. I would do what I mentioned in my other post, maybe smudge the edges a little as well, but be careful when smudging or you can ruin an otherwise good sig (For the future).
    Btw are you saving your sigs as jpg or png? Just so you know, you should probably save you sigs as png, not jpg. Jpg can slighty make your sigs not look as good as they can be.
    Second is the best you've made so far, but there is still some blending issues, and I can not tell very well what is going on in the bg. Good job with the text, it goes with the sig and is readable. I like the way the text is placed.
    You are really starting to improve, you've got to work more on blending, once you get that down your sigs will really improve.
    Hope I don't sound too critical, look forward to seeing more!

    Sev, I SUCK AT SMUDGING, so how do you do it effectively. Also, should I convert them into png?

    Thank's everyone who commented, also anyone else who looks please comment.

    Practice. It isn't that hard once the get a feel for how you smudge. And if you didn't already know, make sure you use a circle fuzzy brush when smudging. Other ones usually do more than you want for the edges.
    And you don't have to convert the ones you already done into png, but for the future ones do png.

    It happens to me. When it does, I just go in chat, and ask, or I just use Mario. You can never go wrong with Mario...

    I'm back from my school dutys and have made another sig, this one is Jedah from Darkstalkers.



    I like it because I haven't done one in a while and it feels good to have another go at it.

    Well, the blending is a little better, but look at the sig and tell me if the render looks like it was made with the bg. I am still mastering blending myself, so it isnt something you learn overnight. And it seems that you should have made the flow of the bg going with the flames on his back, but instead its going in all sorts of directions. And the way you positioned the render makes the other side look pretty empty. Also, the render has that pixelated look around most of it, dosent look very good. Thou it looks like you got a little of his head blended in, its not enough to really notice unless you look really close. And you may not have started working on this yet, but theres also no source of light.
    I would say work on flow of bg and blending, keep reading/watching tuts, and you'll have it down in no time.

    It's plain I know, but how did I do on the blending?
    Around the render looks pixelated, I would work on that. (like sev said) because that makes the signature not look so great. It needs to be nice and clean. The main thing I would work on is blending, and also your text. Your text looks plain on the signatures, and I would add some effects to them.

    I like your "Life is a" signature, But I think it would look better with a boarder. Like most of yours would.


    Id like to see more from you.

    hmmmm for blending try using the feather tool, i think its simpler than smudging parts of the render. Also try using a cinematic border on ur sigs.

    one question, where are u getting ur renders?
