first post on your sig again!!! and this sig is DEEP!! first off, meh to the blue visor.. then again ive never liked coloured visors. i REALLY love in this sig how the spartan is there, but the sig invites you to look deeper. the bubble shield almost seems to me to be the focal.. idk if that was your goal since the spartan is rather sharp, but i looked past it. black effects on the spartan look good, and i really like how you can see everything in the sig!!! different, but well done.
Wow thanks Knight! I was actually starting to think I'd get no response lol... That's awesome how you perceived the sig. =) I did go slightly overboard, imo... I had like 30 or so layers and just kept adding things. I usually only have around 10-15 layers in a sig of mine, so it was definitely a different approach for me. I wouldn't say the bubbleshield is the focal, (mostly because, like you said, the spartan is sharpened so) but I see what you mean. When I was making it I wasn't sure if it had two focals, and if the bubble shield was too bright, creating that second focal, so I did try blurring it to draw more attention to the spartan. Also, if you'd like to know, when I took the picture, I modeled it off of a picture from a bungie update... the one B-W-C used in his bronzing sig, with the ODST spartan with a shotgun on longshore with a bubbleshield behind him. I had really loved that picture, and wanted to make my own version.... so thats where I went in terms of the stock. Anyway, thanks knight XD
I'm actually very impressed with what you have done with this signature, it is very deep, I also actually prefer the blue visior, it makes it diffrent, and I think it brings a new style to the signature. It is all VERY well blended, and the lighting is quite nice. I agree that you can truly look past the spartan, and then into the signature to find out more. Very good job. Also the border looks nice, fits in well unlike a lot I see.
Visor coloring is favored by me mostly, but I wouldn't pick blue for this particular sig. Basically what the two above said, it is very deep. Now add text.
