Twin Snakes Sig #2

Ive taken everyones advice to heart and read some tuts and come out with this, its obviously not perfect but better then my last in my opinion:



It would help if someone could tell me how to get the right size for my sig :embar:

 

300x150 is Pretty Standard.
Its Easier If you use a PSD Render.
But You Used a regular Render.

When Placing Your Render, Use The Lasso tool Delete The outer Background Of The Render.
As In your Signature You Would use the lasso tool to delete the White Around your character.
Btw Right Click It And Click feather. Change to 2 px.

But Otherwise. i good Improvement from the nonsense you posted before.

 

Accually I added the white as a light source ans beveled the render to give it a shadow =P but next time ill use that technique to clean up the edges. Thanks.

 

I've always found the lasso tool as an insufficient tool. Just erase the borders of the render, because it's better.

Oringinal Render there. Thanks for all your comments. =]

 

I think you could have put the border infront of the light source, other than that, try blend the render better.

 

I agree, it's a useless tool.
This is a HUGE improvement from you last one. I suggest using filters on the render as well instead of just the background. Practice a lot and try new methods and keep trying, you're getting WAY better.
