The 'Frag Man' text is pretty bad. The placement makes it almost impossible to see and once you do see it you think, "Ugh, I hate that font" Well, at least I did. The blue squiggles are the worst part, though. Also either light from above or light from the focal, not both. Bot the bottom middle, the black c4d BG, and the top-left text are good.
I hide my on purpose, and you can forget about that sig. I'm just practicing right now. My best yet. I know it's bright, but I'll fix that later. Version 2:
I love this one. Beautiful use of white. Nice choice with the subtle background. Out of interest, how does it look with a 1 or 2 pxl border?
@Lock's Shatakai Signature.. Basically, everything Linubidux said. I'd just make the corners slightly less....bright.
It looks okay, but there is one huge thing that bothers me, and any film student/photographer would say the same. The fact that there is so much space above the head really annoys me. Ohter than that it looks okay. Colors don't make me that happy. [edit] not that much space, but there is a lot of space above the gas mask. try changing the size of the sig. @Linu you and your borders! lol
I was actually hoping someone else would give a review. Great job, horrible theme. You blended everything nicely, put them in great places, and have great text. The only problem I have is the snowy theme, with the tropical man. It just ruins the whole thing in my opinion. Fixed the lighting. Just don't know which one is better. V3 V3.1
Wow, great use of c4d's. I like v3.1 the best. In all the others, the lighting is too prominent. Maybe even make v3.1 more opaque because, this sig s all about the darkness, IMO. I had a hard time seeing where her hair ends and the c4d starts. Probably a good thing. Grunge Sniper:
Alright. 1. Text is horrible. Way too big, and it is more a focal then I'm guessing is supposed to be the sniper. It also looks almost 'elegant' for a grungy-ish sig. It's also a bad color and so that is what helps make it stand out so much as a focal. blend it better, and shrink it down a lot, as well as change the font. 2. There is no focal. The closest thing is the text, and text should never (except in small occasions like abstract sigs and stuff) be the focal. I'm guessing the guy is supposed to be the focal. The blurred look of the sig is nice, but erase it off of the guy, so you can actually tell who or what he is, and identify him as the focal easier. Try things like desaturating the rest of the sig to bring him out more. 3. No flow. There are lines in all directions. I can't see a flow, and a sig without a flow is bad. 4. Add a border. A border almost always will make a sig look better. Just a basic, 2px black border would be good. and that is all I can say quickly right now. Here is one I made as a request in my sig shoppe. What do you think?
Well, the only problem I have is the pop-out. It just pops-out. Nothing special. Whenever you make a pop-out you should always add a uniqueness to it. Otherwise it doesn't look as good as it can be. Also, the pop-out is different the the part of him that's in the sig. He looses his smoothness as he pops out. Good job though.
the completely reworked looks better imo. However, the end of the text is unreadable. Like that fade, but make it slightly more readable to be better. Also, now it doesn't have a border at all. Add a 2px black border, and fade it. that might look good. also, try darkening the right side of the sig a little, to add good contrast, and emphasize the focal on the guy. But this loooks much better imo.
I honestly have no idea which is better. Truth is, the both need plenty of work. You need to change the background completely. It really sucks. And you need to add plenty of C4D's to it. Otherwise the sig is too boring. Sorry.
Don't be. Anyways, I'm sick of failing at the typical video games render sigs so I'll be sticking to the stock images and abstracts for now. EDIT: Tada!
I like the colours you've used, but I don't see where you were really going with it; It just seems a bit random and I personally don't like the border you have going, but that's personal preference. CnC? V1 V2 I personally prefer the second version myself.
Yea I like the second one too. However, flow isn't great as random lines are flying in the background, so there are like, 2 flows here, which isn't good. The text isn't bad, but its very plain and "right there" I feel if it was moved to the bottom left area, and the colors are spiced up a little, as well as blended slightly more, it'd be better. here is a sig I made an hour or so ago, but forgot to post...
I forgot about this and made a thread. Whatever. Here's my new sig. Have I gotten better, for people who know me?
My bad, I just went to posting. Um...zstrike. I like the warmth of the colors, but the outlined clipping masks are weird. I never liked that style. The text isn't that great either. Check out some inter+ tuts and find a nice style.
its ok that you skipped me. lol (you made it up though) as for this sig... black and white looks bad imo, so I will not comment. As for the first, its ok but there is hardly a lot going on. A few nice C4D's, and good smudging, but you have waaay to much negative space. I know that is a style, but it just looks bad like you didn't finish the sig. Also, maybe add text/border. And as for the CnC on mine, I just personally like the clipping mask look, as you might like empty/faded sigs. They are style, and everyone has preferences... EDIT: Sig I just threw together in 15 minutes... tried less clipping masks, and text technique...
