    scan lines....Text could use a little work, mostly move it above the scanlines. Other than that I don't see much that you did.

    Maybe we should, might take down on the spam.

    I liked your very first on best. This one is just chaotic... its way busy and has no flow. The text is just horrible. You need to stay away from c4d's until you know your program pretty well, and can make alright default sigs.

    Im not trying spam up your thread, but I think Mace used the scanlines not add effects, but to try to add more depth to the sig, because he used a stock.

    Not to interuppt this... fine conversation, but:

    How's this?
    V1:[​IMG]
    V2:[​IMG]
    V3:[​IMG]
    I'm thinking the purple could go, but you can't see the effects without it being blue or purple or green, and green just looks ba-a-d.

    See'n'see!

    Meh, defiantly not your best work...and I think the other was better. The text its to big and causes another focal. The bg, is well umm...Well its bland and doesn't help the sig at all. I mean its diagonal lines...The bg could really needs some work. Other than that good job I guess.

    Well, its ok, but like I said, c4d's c4d's....Try making one with less c4d's or simpler c4d's because the ones your making now are really busy. This one is monotone, which is ok, but I would have liked to see some different colors. You have some flow issues with the c4d and the bg and the sword. Try some lighting, if you don't already have it in there...Um text should be smaller and closer to the focal.

    Both are decent, not your best work in my opinion, the first has a very weird feel to it because of the orange and it classhes with a thick layer of white and then to an immediate sepia tone. Also the text is meh, use less words, and for each word make them a different layer each, it makes the words more maneuverable and manipulative, compared to using one layer of text only. For the green signature, I think you really nailed the focal on there, but the effects seem like a white blur, try to distinguish them more, and for your text with the word Unbreakable, i recommend you make the 'break' of the word, black instead of ble.


    I think this is definitely one of your best, and no not just because it's Megan Fox lol. Great colour scheme going on there, not really much blending but it gives her a bold stance in the signature, nice text quite experimental, and the word Spicy fits pretty well seeing as the colours would match the ideal spicy food's colours. Border seems too thick though cutting off too much signature if you ask me, it's better to just make the canvas bigger and then just make the border after that. Also it seems a bit dark on her face, maybe brighten it up a bit.

    Hmmm, not your very best work EGP, looks pretty good though, but the lighting is a bit awkward to me, since it's coming from the full right hand corner and behind the neck of the guitar. Add some text in there as well, and try to aim for more than a monochrome signature, those get a little boring, then it just seems like colours become a weakness, so fool around with the colours see what you can get. Unles the original stock is black and white, than I understand.


    Weird outcome, I am not a big fan of the sharpening done on the little castle thing in the middle of the signature just above the "L" in SEATTLE. Looks different compared to most signatures I see, but it looks good, except the text, the glowy white text in the middle really draws me towards that, try to change it up more.

    I really don't see any change other than the addition of text, try lookin over my reply. And text could use some work still.

    Looks interesting, I think that it looks choppy on the side of his ear and just above his ear on the skull, and the text on his forehead is really out of place, also the Hitman text is a bit too much, or just move it around a little closer to the render. The blue on the collar of his shirt is a little distracting.
