Red VS Blue SIG

way too much blurring on the first. just use Gaussian blur on 1 or 2. and blur the whole background btw haha. that stuff on the right isn't blurred. maybe don't turn the text. oh and i just noticed that u messed up while cutting around the red guy on the mask. just go look at other people sigs on this site and tuts to get an idea of what will look nice.

 

u messed up on his visor. look closely if you have a small screen. but yea. when blurring you wanna do the whole background because its realistic.

 

I like the 2nd one, and how do you blur the whole background? I dont know how to do anything in GIMP. My brother (MontageMedia) is teaching me.

 

ok ok ok ok... too blur the whole background first duplicate your stock, cut the focal on the first one. then reverse selection and blur! then yur done ^_^

 

Reverse selection?

 

once you've cut something out. go to selection. then reverse.

 

Just defy, you're not exactly an expert on Blurring either. So I would refrain from make that judgment.

Since, you seem new at sigs, I'll give you a definition on flow instead of criticism. It'd be hard to understand what we mean without knowing what it is first. It would probably be better if I had a tutorial on this though. >.>

My definition of flow: Flow is the direction everything seems to be going to. The spartan you have is standing still, but his body has a position like he's ready to get up and go at the second. Kind of like Kinetic energy. So the direction the flow should go to top right. Then you find c4ds that have a straight part, and rotate it to that direction.

Now even though I say that, there are different ways to go about flow. Sometimes the flow of the render will fight the flow of the effects, but that will actually help show the flow of the render, and make it intensified flow. There are many ways to go about flow, but plenty more ways not to go about it.

 

Wow, you are so helpful. Thanks. Montage Media (My brother) took your advice and now look at my sig. I think he did much better!

 

this is frag man. hes the stain in forge hubs underpants..although hes helpful hes annoying. anyways yea my suggestion IS how you would blur the background of a stock in gimp, no doubt about it. you can't be an expert at giving directions on how to use gimp. you either know or you don't. he's right about flow though. it's not something required, as a lot of forge hubs members would say. but it helps a lot to have it. theres different ways of generally blurring to be fair to fraggers. ill update this in a sec

 

What do you mean? and your now in my signature. lol

 

errm... its like you don't want him. just like you wouldn't want a streak in your undies. in other words, he go's extra far to be mean idk...

ok hears another tip on blurring

 

its pretty good as far as being new to it goes. sorta to big tho... try like around 400x130 for size. and just a thought.


also... youtube how to make lighting for a signature or something similar to that... lighting is very important

 

yea also you'll notice on the layers theres layer options... you can switch those around for cool effects as well

 

Did you use the nifty C4D creator thing that one person I can't remembers name posted?

 

oooo i did... could you post a link i forgot what the site was :/
