    Instead of posting a new thread every time i make something in PS, i'm going to post it here.
    I am trusting people here not to rip me, so.. Don't.

    I will set it out in sections, Avatars, Signatures and Random Stuff.

    Hope you enjoy, please not, this will be updated multiple times a week, please come back for more ;)

    Note: All done in PS CS3 extended. Add [email protected] for more details...


    Please give feedback, on how to improve what, and maybe a nudge in the right direction, a rating alone does nothing but make me feel good (if it's 10\10) :p

    Avatars

    1st -
    [​IMG]
    Was just messing with a tutorial i saw, ended up looking ok :D
    Signitures

    1st (ancient lol) -
    [​IMG]
    Done in PS CS2 Trial, Used brushes and text, can't claim much from that, if anything.
    2nd -
    [​IMG]
    Used a render to make the background, but then removed the render, used brushes on the background, and paint spill is a brush too.
    3rd -
    [​IMG]
    My favorite so far. Made the background myself, bit of help from a tutorial, made the lightening myself, i didn't cut out the render, but nevertheless, i'm happy with it.
    4th -
    [​IMG]
    Made for a friends forum, i quite like it ^^
    Random

    1st -
    [​IMG]
    Blood splatter, used a tutorial, slightly modified it, looks pretty neat i think. (annoyed about the right side, it's really ugly where u can see a vertical line :(

    I like your current sig, only thing is it took me a while to find the text. I think its a sig where you should make the vocal point the text, because everthing else has such a low opacity it has like no grab-ya.

    Until i am at the calibre to create my own text, from scratch, i wont be making the text the 'vocal point'. Why have the 'vocal point' based around something i didn't do?

    I only like my name there as a slight personalization, and a bit of ripping protection.

    I think this may suffice, and no, it's not the exact same as mine.. I didn't save the .psd last time :(

    I like you.

    I'd say you're doing very well for a beginner, and just need to keep working on carving out a niche for yourself, and developing your own style.

    A useful tip is to never listen to anyone, if they're telling you what you should be doing, only if they point out problems, and even then with a grain of salt.

    Just take all advice with a pinch of salt, use only the best tools, and use only your own resources, and it'll definitely come with time.

    Thanks, although that's nothing to credit me for. The arrows are from the brush.

    NOTE: Sorry for my inactivity guys, i am busy irl atm, but i will be back to PS soon, please keep my thread bumped.

    Much <3
