I just think Photoshop CS2 is much easier the CS3..Originally Posted by Myself
Now as in like words to go with signatures or fonts 8/
I just come up with words that suit the sig or if you
want look up some quotes in google..
BTW your Hatsune Road to Stardom is pretty nice
if you just sharpen the whole lot and less the opacity and change the amount
of strokes on the text then your probably done ^^

Some advice to you.
Blending is something that you should put more time into. Out of everything else, which is mostly fine, this part is something you might want to work on. Blending, simply, is stuff put on top of the stock, render, whatever. Feel free to use as many methods to do this. Alternatively, use depth to ignore blending. IchigoKiss's current signautre has depth. To do depth in a simple manner, blur some areas of the background, and lightly sharped the stock and its surrounding area. Work on those two things, and your sure to improve.
Oooohkays!!
@Twila:Got it,used a simpler border in the upcoming one XD ;D
@Demoni:I'll try to~!Thanks a lot for your comments XD
@IchigoKiss:The stroke is too muchO.o!okay then..I was just fooling around with stroke >.<"
@Serated: Depth means looks deep?Hmm...I'll try it...Thanks for the comments too !!
My friend's favorite character in Rozen maiden~SuiseiSeki XD I made a sig on her XD she's just soooo cute >.<" okay. Here:
Extract found from planet renders !Comments again please.
Lol...I'm Back!FYI:Shana FTW!:3
lol
I love SuiseiSeki. xD
Okies. It's too bright IMO. And the blending isn't all that great in this one. Try some brushes over her. And I think the text should be a darker green instead of white. Something that makes it easier to read. And add a border.
Keep on going! Practice, practice, practice! ♥
@Demoni:@_@ okay!I just realized it aftr saving in jpeg,it wasn't that bright before.....shall adjust....Thanks XD Regarding the borders, I can't find suitable ones on the web, I'll spend more time looking for it when I get my CS3 since I don't have the function buttons that are needed
Here's my next one,Extraction from some random website?O.o...forgot...sorry!!
Comments again please
Lol...I'm Back!FYI:Shana FTW!:3
Sad....No one came to comment...okay another one which you all should've seen before
Yep,You're right,SOTW #15..

Comments again please.
Lol...I'm Back!FYI:Shana FTW!:3
I agree with balance
the border looks really cool and different ^_^
well done Tsubaki Yoshikara!

Awesome job on your Ichigo sig! The only thing I would suggest is keeping color completely out of it if it's going to be black and white. Yes, I saw you sneak those colors in there. xD
Your Digi Charat sig was a great idea. But the fractal in the bg doesn't really match IMO. Try making it more like a Wanted poster.
Your Black Cat sig needs a bit of work. The bg colors don't really match well with the character. I'd try using some golds and browns. And if you move him a smidge to the left and get him in the center, I think that'd look really nice.
I hope to see more! ♥
@Demoni~Yes yes..I know... XD>.< just a little tint of purple XD
The digi charat one was just a fool around when I was bored...Didn't take it seriously >.<"
O.o really?black cat goes with brown and gold @_@?I'm not sure...I just whapped some colors in...Hmm...okay then...
Here~my next one(Is it a little too bright or something?):
Comments please ><
Lol...I'm Back!FYI:Shana FTW!:3
I like it, but maybe a border would be a good idea? It's a bit bright I think, maybe mess with that a bit?
I really like the Digi Charat one. Kawaii!
*Bumped by request*
Hi guys~back again >< sorry for being so ....dead....yeah...due to the exams.....grrrrr.... sorry!
okay...I remember the time when I was into Konata fandom with the whole of the Unofficial Lucky star fan club....
and something I churned up in a minute or so....
and my current siggy (psps I love it ><)
C&C please~!!!

The best you've done so far IMO. The first is very well done although the text could use a little better placement.
Sora looks excellent. It seems a bit... cloudy? though and it's rather big for a sig but that's just me. Hell, I make sigs large like that sometimes so don't worry. I like it, the idea and the way you played it out is very nice.
*two thumbs up*
@Kersheys :Cloudy...hmm..maybe i didn't do it well....oh well~ >< will make sure it's clearer next time? >< thanks kersheys!
okay...more stuff...
Followed a tut by Serated~
ps..couldn't find scanlines so i used some weird stuff :S ><
and this was an SOTW entry. I think I won 3rd place through luck and there weren't many entries to choose from.
C&Cs again please ^^
Lol...I'm Back!FYI:Shana FTW!:3
I think that you improved a lot. Those two become a awesome job
the fonts from the banner of tha lucky star i think it's too bright.
keep up with the good work.

okay~ more here!

C&Cs please!!!needa do some reviving!

This. Is. Perfect. While I know a few people who aren't really fond of monotone tags, this is just awesome. The text is nicely done IMO. What font is that, if I may ask? The character blends in pretty well and I am loving the light sourcing. There seems to be a bit of a problem near the back of his head though. Any idea what might be causing those black spots? Other than that, <3~

OMG....i forgot to blur the part i sharpened!!!okay,...kersheys...To be honest I wasn't planning on making a monotone sig...I tried to make it with more than 2 colors but the problem is I can't seem to make it coz of the colors and i don't know where to put the text and what c4ds or....okay...for short...i don't know how to make it....pretty. So I decided to simplify it to 2 colors so my life would be easier =="...
About the black dots...i think it was the oversharpening and stuff...>< oops///my bad....
The text is Castellar....don't expect me to use any cool font since i don't have an extractor to extract the zip files=="(Though i want to....i might ask my friend to do it for me when she has time)
Thanks kersheys, for commenting again >< my new stuff will be up soon enough..
Lol...I'm Back!FYI:Shana FTW!:3
I'm in loveee with tha dark sakura ;$
this one for me it's just perfect! The colors you used, the fonts, the effects.
well, just one thing.. can you try to make it more brighter ? i'm talking about tha body.
the second one " dark saber" is very original, really good work really.
I don't like the ichigo but the fonts and tha effects are a little bit weird. they don't seem right ;x
Anyway, you did as usual a good work. ^^
p.s i'm gonna keep tha 1st one for me ;x

I really like this sig, it has a good flow to it and some nice effects. I just feel that you overdid the lighting and it drowned out the shadows, killing the realism and depth. You should try to use the dodge and burn tool to implement contrast between the lighting and darkness in your tags. Also, I recommend using the Lighting Effects filter, it really helps define your lighting source :]
I'd like to see you try not using C4Ds or brushes for your work. Learning other techniques first usually help improve the usage of those two resources in your pieces. Keep it up though, I can see that you improve after each sig.
by Trey, the Ironw4ng.
First things first.
The Lucky Star signature has an odd color to it. I honestly don't think that this faded plastic look is very attractive in my opinion. Also, I see about three things used here other than the extract. C4Ds to create the background, some brushes to make...snow? Then lastly, the text which doesn't seem to look very good in this. You should learn how to make your signatures more vibrant in color, because the colors of a signature is always the key factor that catches a person's eye. You somehow got rid of those colors. You need to revive them.
The Yuki Nagato signature...
Looks highly uncreative. I'm sorry. The background is very unfitting, and there are some random lines that come out of nowhere. Plus the text is very hard to read. Try blending the character into the signature such as the next signature.
You actually created some blending in the "Searching for Destiny" signature. Here's the thing though. First off, what in the world are the squares for? I don't think they really helped creating that splash effect that you tried to get there. In fact, it almost seems to kill it. The text was placed AMAZINGLY, however the glow and the opacity of it was not a good idea. Perhaps if you tried to use different colors, then they might have been better. Not only that, opaque borders such as the one you portrayed is not very well initiated.
Again with the transparent borders.
They destroyed the color of the top and bottom part of the signature. But at least you finally figured out how flow works, however...the text again is hard to read. Really need to work on that.
The entry is very bright and lacks color. Also, the Japanese plus Kanji is very hard to read in that corner. Not only that, it's in teal blue in a very white/vanilla color. It does not really work very well in that kind of signature. Again, you need to learn how to blend your characters into your signature to where they become part of it. I CAN see that you have worked some parts of it, but it still looks like you just slapped on the extract.
Again, it looks like you slapped on the extract after you were done with your signature. The overall composition of the Dark Saber signature is good. You just needed to do a little more to it. However, it looks really sharp at one part of her hair and that just completely throws me off. And I'm not gonna even try to explain the text placement.
The Dark Sakura signature has good potential, but I see those same three things from the Konata signature. Background that are most likely created by adding C4Ds together, random white snowflakes, and faded text. If the "snowflakes" were a different color, I might not have been too worried about it, however it's not and not only that, they are huge. If you made a size jitter, I think it would have looked a lot better. Not only that, the entire signature looks very blurred and lost quality.
The Bleach signature is clashing colors horribly. Also, the same repetition in the background making process. Not only that, the text looks like it got oversharpened a lot and Kurosaki despeckled once too much. The border also bothers me. It's creative, but not inititated well enough. I'd avoid using quotes, in fact, don't ever use them in a signature.
One last thing before I end this post...
Everytime you put in By: Tsubaki into a signature, it really just loses the entire focus of the signature. I know that some people want to prove to other people that some signatures have been created by a certain person, but it would be better to just put in your username. But don't do that overexcessively as well. Text is one of the very few things that can determine whether your signature is a good one or not. So keep that in mind. Lastly, the size of signatures don't really matter a lot, but you sure have been making big signatures to almost to a point where one would call them banners. Try different sizes.
I am now done.
Oh wow...thanks o.o *drops jaw...*
*Taking in all advices........*
Okay...erm...
@LadyAmy:Thanks a lot >< really appreciate it~!
@Trey:Can you please tell me some examples of other techniques?Because I doubt I really know about any!(Sorry...I'm not really good in the digital art world...)
@Balance:......Long post.....Vibrant...by adjusting the levels and stuff?The yuki sig was something whipped in a minute...i wasn't expecting it to go anywhere... well...sorry if that was something I shouldn't have uploaded (>.<Hides). You see, I'm not one that really gets color combinations correct. Sometimes it really makes the sig look weirder than ever when the different colors clash but I'll work on it. For the next 2,yeah I've got it...Are there anymore borders that can be used?I've always been told to add borders but the problem is I don't seem to know when to put it, is it better for me to not put?Dark Sakura sig- Well yeah...the background ..... but...I'm not sure what colors to use...again...color combi prob...><sorry ...and same problem...I don't know what to do with the background. (help please)I know the Ichigo sig was really sort of a sorry sig but I just wanted to get some comments on it and see what I can change on (out of ideas)
Yup well...I think I see my problems....
1)color
2)background
3)text
4)Borders
Please do help me out in these areas...Especially the BACKGROUND PART....I'm seriously running out of ideas....
Okay..this might be weird but it is like Unleh's stuff? (sorry if you think I'm copying but I just need to try out some stuff and see what I can get...)
