Unleh's stuff

[Famahama]

I would've requested to open my previous thread...but then, it's already post #190. 10 more and I would make a new one anyway lol xD

So I've been really inactive in sigmaking, but after seeing some inspiring artworks (sigs/fanart/wall/etc) I decided to try it out once again

Anywayyyy, here's 2 of my new ones

(and rofl, should've calculated the size a bit more... the sig is cut when I pasted it on my sig space, plus, too big a size is slowing down loading time @_@ )

Cnc please, and enjoy everyone ^_^

And here's the link for my first sig thread:

[Annie Hall]

Well they're pretty big, but you explained that.
Anyway The first hurts my eyes :{
and the text on the second one does too
blurred text never works imo.

YET, you have a really unique style and it's SUPER refreshing.
I think you'll be one of the greatest in no time!

[Famahama]

Yeah...my usual style really does peck people's eyes =_=;
Thanks for the comment by the way!

Moar stuff
(non-border)

(border)

(kind of used a stock as the background (credits to Shinomiya Iruka for it) and extraction by Serated)

I dunno...border-less looks good, but the size sucks. I tried cropping it down, but it looks worse O_o;;

Border gives it a nice movie-like finish, but it looks less as powerful than the unbordered one @_@

anyway, cnc and enjoy :D

[Middy]

Onii Chaaan!!! ;)
Your tags inspire me with their infinite uniqueness!
For the latest, I like the non border version, and I"m typically a border lover. The composition seems more powerful without the border, and I don't see any problems wit the size

[benjamin89]

Fresht.

But yea, I like this unpleasent for the eyes style you got going (I dont really find it that unpleasent to look @ at all..)

[FluffyDango]

The big uka langley text infront of the girl is too blurred, thats not good when it`s infront you know.
The Shake sig made me well shake my eyes, but I guess thats what you want with it XD
With border on the newest is best, without looks too empty.

[Aleyna]

Everything is good in your newest one except for the colorful text you choose. I love the font, but I don't think the rainbow colors go with thhe fall theme. The background smudging looks amazing. Smudging takes such a long and difficult time to do and learn in my opinion, so I give props to you for making such a great background with smudges.

[CrimsonMoon]

I agree. The colour for 'shake' is too colourful it actually hurts my eyes. *_* The 'Wind Power' one is good though. The background matches well with the girl. Nice job! :D

[Artcell]

Woah,you are talented *__*
I like these sigs.So nicely done.
And you use that leaf brush a lot don't you?Haha.
*__*
Keep making more sigs and impressing me,us!

[*Tsuki*]

Haha, I like them all. ^^
I know it is weird, but I actually really like the shaking one.
It's just so different and stands out.
Of course, they're all fun and great.

For the wind one, I think it looks better without the border. >.<

[Acnologia]

Amazingful as usual, but don't overuse that leaf brush! On the latest, I'd try putting more details to the leaves, as they stick out too much :3

[Jagan Eye]

I really like the whole "movie finish" of this sig. I think its kind of neat how even though this sig is a bit digressed from your usual bright colors, you still managed to leave an Unleh mark with the text. And its pretty subtle so it doesn't really seem out of place either. Very smart, creative little touch right there. Now update some more.

[Famahama]

Thanks for the comment guys (and Middy-chaaaaan)!

The big uka langley text infront of the girl is too blurred, thats not good when it`s infront you know.

I was actually aiming for a moving effect on the text (using motion blur)... I think the extra-blur might've been a slightly wrong angle of motion blur that made it look awkward. Next time I'll try that effect, I'll keep that in mind ^_^


Everything is good in your newest one except for the colorful text you choose. I love the font, but I don't think the rainbow colors go with thhe fall theme.
Now that I think of it... yeah, it does seem out of place... MUST...RESTRICT...COLORFUL...... GAH...!


The background smudging looks amazing. Smudging takes such a long and difficult time to do and learn in my opinion, so I give props to you for making such a great background with smudges.
Lol... unfortunately, it's a stock image ^_^;; And...I'm a dunce when it comes to smudging D:


I agree. The colour for 'shake' is too colourful it actually hurts my eyes. *_*
LOL it does that to mine as well, but I love killing my eyes xDDD


Amazingful as usual, but don't overuse that leaf brush! On the latest, I'd try putting more details to the leaves, as they stick out too much :3
So THAT is what's been bugging me! I had a feeling it looked to plain! :/
Taken note of, and will put it into action next time I have that damned feeling poking me xD

Anyway, here's 2 new ones
http://www.yinyanganime.com/ranul/images/light.png
Had to use a C4D and blurred it, didn't turn out pretty good though. Honestly saying, I had HELL with this signature. Because this sig has given me so much pain, I HAVE to use it to return the favor D< Also used a lightning stock picture.

Here's another one (it took me 2 damned hours, but should actually just take a 10-20 minutes to make. Originally planned out as a vector, but after a long struggle, it somehow transformed to a different style)
http://www.yinyanganime.com/ranul/images/monster.png
I quite like it :D It looked so plain before. That is, until I used some colored lighting, which made it POP a lot more

As last time, CnC and enjoy ^_^

[Yurka]

Ah Unleh. You gotta start posting more things again. I always loved your work.

As for these latest recent ones, I'm not really sure. They just don't seem to have that "oomph' most of your older works seem to have. Maybe you're a bit rusty? xD

Keep up the good work though. ;3

[FluffyDango]

Had to use a C4D


Maybe this tut can help you figure out how you can make that sig more interesting?
http://evilmonkeyofdoom.deviantart.com/art/See-The-Revolution-Tutorial-125677558

2`nd one:
I see you like big borders too, like Midnight.

[Famahama]

Oh hey! That tutorial might just help! I'll try using this when I'm in the mood for smudging then :3 (modifying a smudge tag is just so much work!)
and yes, I like large borders. It depends on the end result though.

Anyway, something new (2 people liked my old style, so I tried it out once again)

The colors are not quite the same (which is a bit disappointing), but the randomness is there ;D
extraction done by Serated

CnC thanks ^_^

[Middy]

2 people liked your old style? 0_o
I'd better be one of those two? lol

Latest looks awesome man, love the colors and composition. I don't know how you get everything to fall together so nicely.

[Acnologia]

The second minus the white outlines on the left side, for they are too thin/pixelated.

[Famahama]

Lol, no, you aren't included xD
But you are now!

Edit version (Aia)
http://www.yinyanganime.com/ranul/images/Monster%202(3).png
Kind of not liking though... not busy enough >_>;;

Something simple (followed Gintara's manga tutorial)
http://www.yinyanganime.com/ranul/images/OGA.png
Manga images from Beelzebub (which is a GREAT read)
ehhh, I'll just give this signature to animegalleries >_>


EDIT
What the hell? I have fans?! :0 (happy)

[FluffyDango]

Lol, no, you aren't included xD
But you are now!

Edit version (Aia)



Deffinitly more then just 3 who liked your old colourful style ;D
I love sigs that has lots of colours xD

The Edited version of that sig is nicer then the other one.

And nice manga sig :)

[Jagan Eye]

Wait, am I included in those 2? I've been a die hard Unleh's old style fan since as long as I can remember xD

Anyways, your two latest sigs are awesome! I love the bright colors and the craziness! Makes me so happy! Aha.

I'd have to disagree with you on not-busy-enough. lol. I think its plenty busy and any more would probably be too distracting actually. I liked the first version better because the balance of negative space on the left side looks really nice. On the edit version, the added stuff does give the signature nice depth though, so its good too. Overall, awesome siggy!

As for the tutorial one, lovely. I just can't stop looking at it. So prettiful! <3

[Famahama]

Just in case anyone wanted the tutorial I used on the manga signature
http://www.animeforum.com/showthread.php?t=57730


For grabs~
(and if anyone of you followed me on Twitter, you'll know the excruciating story about it)
Tried a little bit of smudging, and noticed how easy to blend stuff with it :D

(extract by Serated, credits to Sera, C4D guy, and brick texture guy)

Anyone know what to do with the hand on the left? It's just so hard to blend nicely D:

[Famahama]

Inspired by Middy, and extraction by Serated

I quite like the darkness ^___^

[Middy]

SO HOT!!
Absolutely love your latest tag..colors, lighting..flow..composition, the simplicity, everything.

I saw it and immediately logged in so I could post :p

Haha, to nitpick though, if it's possible, I'd try to find a way to reemphasize some of the features of her face; they're borderline vanishing in the lighting.

[Acnologia]

Ryogi! I'd like to see more to the smudging, but I love the lighting against darkness <3

Can I use it? ;3

[Bulf]

How did I miss that? D:
It totally reminds me of Midnight's sigs, but I love it. I think there could be something in the blank top-right corner though. Maybe a cloud overlay, or a slight texture or something to add a little extra into it. But I'd love to see a tutorial on how you and Middy make those smudgy ones!

[UrusaiSevera]

sesame open!

have fun ;)

[Famahama]

@Uru
Thank you Uru! Hilarious kitty animation by the way!

Middy
OH, THE GOD OF SMUDGES LIKED IT!! Thanks! I'll keep your words in mind when I produce something as that again!

aiacos
Whoaaa, I'm 3 months late of answering your question! If you'd still like to (although I did use it on my signature space...), sure! I don't mind with proper credit ^__^

@Hyphen
Ahaaa~ I can't really promise a tutorial on that one~ I myself forgot how I did it. But it's basically just smudging and playing around with the layer modes :3

--
Heavily influenced by Inked.
And a lot of time.
http://www.yinyanganime.com/ranul/images/Nature%20Theme%20(Balance%20edit).png
Everything pentooled (except the spheres and letter).

CnC please :)

[Middy]

Wow! That looks wicked awesome Unleh!
Great use of colors, and I love the "layered" look you created with the pentool.

Smexy per usual :D

[Acnologia]

omg UNLI <33 I'm happy to see you again <3 This is really great, I love your vector work~

[Ωmega]

Its so good to see you back Unli, and per usual you never disappoint =D

[Hautalken]

Nuuuu! King of colors! Why doesn't your new work hurt my eyes anymoooore!

But dammit, it's nice to see your work once again! Your colours are very controlled and the most saturated ones are the smaller spots you use to control the viewer's eyes. Loving that push-and-push happening over to the left, and the whitespace on the right gives a nice breather to balance out the energy.

Good work! I always learn a thing or two when I look at your stuff :D



.....perhaps I should get back to doing this too. It's high time I changed my tag.

[CrimsonMoon]

Unleh, very nice to see you back! And as always, your signature is still awesome. I like the vibrancy.

[Famahama]

Can't smudge to save my life, so let's do the next best thing: emulate smudges using rectangles!

[Hautalken]

Dammit!! This is so good!!

Loving the type treatment here. Did you actually get the skin on her shoulder to melt off? :o

[Famahama]

Eye-dropper and gradient :)

Edit:

Chunking out another smudge, this one a bit quicker than the previous ones:

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/nn17/Unli-RGift/Colton.png

Who is he? He is a longboarder named Adam Colton! And yes, that hood ornament is part of the original picture!

Just making a signature for one of my current hobbies, longboarding :D

V2, having fun with stickers
I did not make the Paris Trucks sticker, but made the Adam Colton sticker for the fun-sies
