It looks nice! Also, a tip from one to another, if you have a powerful computer, it is always a good idea to use insane resolutions like 4000x1600 or 8000x3200 when creating your work. Bcuz sometimes you may wish to do something with it later like cut out a piece or blow it up; in which case, size matters to prevent loss of image quality.

Some tips I could give you for your work is save it as a PNG file so it doesn't have low resolution. Another thing is when you're using your typography, make sure when you use it, it does not look pixelated and breaking apart. Now is this your first time with Photoshop?

[Danaesta]

Thank you all for youre comments and tips i will use them next time , and yes its my first time using photoshop i am using tutorials on how photoshop works and how to blend and add things to it .

Wow! It looks good. Not that I know anything about Photoshop or signatures. (Hence the lack of one.)

[Danaesta]

thank you well at first i didnt know how photoshop worked then i searched up some tutorials on how to use so i am still learning.

*UPDATE* added a second one.

I like your second one. Your typography is still lacking. I have a good resource for typography that an X-mod gave me. Remind me to give it to you. I'd get it now but I'm sleepy and it's on my old laptop.

As a personal opinion the signature is over-all quite large. Maybe use a standard 400x200. Also you're doing good on your BG. But try to incorporate some brushes, textures or something into the foreground around the render to help blend it into the background so it doesn't just sit there. Keep up the good work!

thank you for youre comment and tip and yes i suck with typography never can find a good one that fits with it and added a 3rd one

Just an FYI, you don't have to update your first thread all the time. o_o;

[Danaesta]

ahh oke sorry ^^ will keep that in mind

Was really tired when i made this also fell asleep during makeing it

Nice improvement on size choice! The colors work very nicely. Still missing the foreground but it's all good. Good improvement. The text needs major work still and you told me to remind you about the text resource.

It has some good fonts if you wish to DL and also has quite a few good tutorials on text placement etc.

These are some very nice first signatures. I remember mine looked horrible . It's easy to see in your last work that you're making progress

My advice is to check out as many tutorials as possible and replicate the results , see what styles / techniques are out there , and incorporate whichever elements you like best into your own unique combination.

[Danaesta]

thank you for youre kinds words and yes im still looking at tutorials never new photoshop could be this fun
Well tryed something new left the typo out cause i am still not sure how it looks so i call this one Zero but anyway enjoy added a small swirl in her hand and dark wings behind her back

[blueangel06661]

Amazing! Quick improvement! I'm genuinely amazed. If you feel comfortable doing larger things you should look into the GFX worm located in Dazzle Us. We'd be glad to have you and as a newcomer it's a good way to get involved in our gfx community :3

You've made much improvements in just a few days.
