My first signature.

Please leave some comments on how to improve it, I'll be posting another one with image within a week.



EDIT:



New signature, better or worse? =D.



And another one =P.



I screwed up the AK, and had some problems cutting it out although it was a very easy picture.



I kind of messed up with the colours, but this is a general idea of my first signature with a picture.

 

Lol, make it wider and less height, get a render, use different text and you should be alright

 

Thanks alot, what are the standard width and height for a signature?

 

Don't understand why he's telling you to make it longer/shorter .
Sigs can be any size, I normally stick around 420x130
Your hight/width is good enough!

 

The text seems out of place, there's no lighting, and no flow.

 

Thanks alot for all the feedback guys.

 

Are the lyrics in your signature from a Immortal Technique song?

 

Yes it is.

 

I posted some new signatures above.

 

For your first signatures your most definitely very talented.
Work on your color saturation, you did the blending pretty well however you need to put some more effort in the vocal point.
8.5/10

 

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Leave the GFX forum now before you fuck with any other people's minds.


On-Topic - Before you go ANY further, find and source out a render/image of some object or person that you would like to use as your subject matter.
You cannot create even a slightly good signature by using just brushes and text.

 

What Alternaz said. You need a main focal, and you can add to that. Alternaz is a very talanted gfx artist, so I would follow all his advice without question and you will become a pro, haha.
So out of those, I like the second one the best, because of the cloud stock and the light thing (don't know if you made that, or it came with the stock).
The first one is okay, just not a main focal or anything, only brushes (nice combination of colors, though).
3rd one: Ummm.. it's okay I guess, WAY too many brushes on it, but I like the cloud effect in it.
I had this really good beginner tutorial but I can't find it. It was something like Placement & Focal - By Pewee or something, I'll try to find that for you.
Or then that, search on google, PM some good artists here (Alternaz, Kiabin, T R 1 B A L, some other people), PM me, add my msn:
[email protected]
and have fun with photoshop.
These were very good for your first attempt, much better then mine. I hope to see more from you.

 

Thanks alot for all the feedback, I'm making a new signature with all these tips.

 

I posted a new one again, totally messed up the picture, but if anyone could give me some tips on how to smoothen the edges. (My edges always got some pixels around it, I tryed smudging it away maybe one of you guys could help me out.

 

Use a render, download a better font.

 

What render would you suggest me to use? I thought about Lens flare, but when I tried that it looked overedited.

 

Any render, and try match the theme of that render, as for fonts, anything but the ones that come with Windows XP/Vista/7

 

I didn't use a standard font this is Bleeding Cowboys, I added it .

 

Try to get more width, height looks terrible in my opinion, Also, i was talking about the first one, surely that cant be downloaded? as for the 2nd/3rd/4th, all the same fonts? Try using the same one in only 2 or just the 1, Try an anime render, if hes looking left obviously position him on the right and try putting a text that suits that anime render on the left, as for the background, i seem to always use the colour picker and select 2colours of the render that will make it stand out, then opracity the rend so it seems to flow with the backgroound, Check my thread i made just then.
