Nariel's Graphics

[Nariel]

Here's my next batch. They're pretty similar, especially since all but one of them were a set.

These 4 are some of the characters from a new manga based off the book Maximum Ride, by James Patterson. YAY! The flock rules!


The Angel one is my favourite.

Here's another one. It isn't flowing right... Tips?


Edit: I deleted some of the sigs from the Maximum ride set, because they weren't very good. I kept the four I liked best.

[Nariel]

I REALLY need tips, so please C n C!



It's pretty plain, but...
extract by Ichigo kiss.

[Nariel]

Here's my latest one. The extraction is by Jagan Eye.



What do you think?

[Dottie.]

Ahhh No one has replied. ;-;

I like the general overall idea of the signture. Its good.
You kept the colour scheme to white and purple which is good as it blends with the extraction.
It looks a little blurry though, so try sharpening the entire image. If you have photoshop you create a new layer, Image > apply image and then go Filter> sharpen> sharpen. Then turn the opacity down or erase some areas.

Looking good, keep practicing. :3

[Nariel]

I've got Gimp.... I sharpened just the girl, and I kind of like the effect.

[Rem Nightfall]

I REALLY need tips, so please C n C!



It's pretty plain, but...
extract by Ichigo kiss.

I think for this one you need to find a better image quality.
And if you can't find one sharpen her image up a little. Add some text or maybe another image of her.

[Nariel]

I sharpened her a bit, and added a couple of effects. I don't know if it made it anymore interesting, but... I also found a small thing in the extract that was bugging me, so I fixed that.

[Neo-chan]

Your signatures are nice :3 For the sakura one, I reckon the render is too bright, maybe make her a little darker in curves or somthing Keep up the good work

[Nariel]

What do you think? (I actually don't know the character, I just know that she died....)


The extract is by serated.

[Nariel]

What do you think?

[Cotaku]

Is the text talking about that one girl who had leukemia and was making 1000 paper cranes? That was a good book. xD



This sig is okay.
I don't think an RL person should be put on flat colors like that. I'm not very good with stocks, though, so yeah. The light behind her looks a bit weird to me. The border should be a different color, too, imo.
Otherwise it's pretty cool.
Keep on going! ♫♥

[Nariel]

I tried to make this one a little less flat. I hope it worked...

Another attempt at a grunge sig for one of my favourite bands.

[IchigoKiss]

I see what you're trying to do with your TH siggy.
You can't really see their faces and the border is not fully complete.
The text is ok but the font choice is not so good.My advice is put a
little more in it,some dark colors would be great.And maybe don't
really over brush it;sometimes it looks bad imo..Aswell use the brightness
/contrast thing.Also if it's grungy you might aswell download a grungy
font..Overall it's nice keep working on it!

[Nariel]

I brought in some of the colors from the people's clothing. I also took some of the smudging off their faces, and used a slightly grungier font. I changed the border too. Did any of that help?

[Hautalken]

Hmm...

You have some unique ideas here. But you still need more practice. A nice way would be to pick up some tutorials. Those help a lot. And you can get better faster.

[Nariel]

I really like how this one turned out. The extract was by IchigoKiss.


I think I did something funny with the character here....


These are some ones I made a couple weeks ago and forgot to put up:



both of those extracts were from planet renders.

[Nariel]

Aww... No comments...

This was my result for IchigoKiss's Barbie Icon tutorial.


I made this a while ago. Don't like it. No flow. And the colors don't match. I think the text isn't very good either. Any ideas of how to fix it? Extract by IchigoKiss.


This turned out OK, I think.


I like how this one came out. The extract is by Mira Kaiba.

[Neo-chan]

Your lastest sig is great! You've have improve alot. Your happy child sig, the background is just a bit random and the render is too bright. Use curves to fix this and also add a border to make a sig look finished. Keep up the good job.

[Nariel]

Thanks Neo-chan! I'll try some of that soon.


Here are two versions of a CCS siggy I made.

V 1:
v 2:

Which one is better? I wasn't sure which looked better.

[Nariel]

Update!


That one's OK. It's kind of plain, but I like the light coming from the character.


The text is iffy....


This was my favourite of the batch!


What do you think?

[Nariel]

Aww... yet again, no comments....





Not much of an update, I was cleaning out my files, and found these two, which I hadn't quite finished, so I finished them.
The second one is obviously too plain, but I don't know what to add.... Any tips?

I actually think Happy Child one is REALLY good, and so are all these other ones.

I wish I could make signatures like this.

As for the last 2 I think the second one is better because the sides aren't blurry, but I only started making images last night, so what do I know? lol



Oh yeah and if you don't mind me asking what exactly is this "extract by" thing mean?

[Nariel]

That was my entry for the SOTW geisha one.... I actually got a vote!



And here's a sig I just did really quickly last night, but liked. I couldn't think of much to add....


And me plus real people and flat colors strikes again! ^.^

[Nariel]

UPDATE!


I have no idea who these kids are, I found them on google....





Comments please! =)

[Yuuki Kurosu]

I see that you've gotten better with some blending. : D
For you Sakura & Kero one, I like v2 better. =)
Happy Child is kind of plain, and I don't like the text. :/
For the Risa one, the render is kinda low quality.
I am not too good with real people, so I can't help you there. ><
Some tuts, maybe?
And your last Sig in your last is kinda big. ><
I like it though. =)
Maybe resize it and slap on some nice matching text? lol.
And last but not least, I am liking your current Sig. :3

EDIT: I like the Tomoyo and Sakura sig btw! : DD
