Signature/Small Work Showcase [V.III]: Photoshop Peril

[Cody]

Rules copied and pasted from the last thread. Keep following them. P:






Welcome to the S/SWSC [V.III] and please follow all the rules below.

- Please put all images under 600 by 600 pixels here.

- Each work should be commented on twice before a new work is posted, this way each work can get it's fair share of criticism.

- Criticism more then praise is encouraged here. Just saying "Looks great!" does not do it. At least say "Looks great, but..."

- Please wait two people before posting a work again. As in: You --> Them --> Them --> You

- You may post only ONE signature at a time. Posts containing more than one will be deleted, however multiple versions of the same signature are allowed if you wish to ask which has, for example, a better border.


Comment rules apply. Please look here for those rules.

Ooooh, the colors. My only complaint is the text feels a bit jagged. Was Antialiasing turned on?



And just curious, what happened to the other thread...?

[musical zombie.]

I'm gonna post on the first page!

I love it, Matt. Maybe take some more pastel-sort of colors and replace them with the stark base colors you have in there, but nice job. Seems kinda pixelated.

First page post.

Uh, that is a lovely sig.

I agree. Make it more of a flowing rainbow.


And yeah, uh....nice sig. Seems a bit boring to me, though. *shot*


Well, I guess i'll post this:

V2

[Frozen]

Sorry, did you say something about boring?

Anyways, it's monocrome. Very Monocrome. Monocrome makes kittens cry. Apart from that, hardly anything is going on. It's so.... dull. Get your act together, Cobra...

[Hyrule]

I don't really like it, something about the placement. Everything else is nice, though for your color version, which is much better than your B&W one, should have more than a bit of green.

And first page, woot.

[sugarpoultry]

I have been out of sig making for a while, tonight I'm going to attempt to make one regardless of my 2 week absence. Hopefully I don't crash and burn...

[Fluesopp]

A 3D render, with glow added in photoshop.
What do you think?

[Hyrule]

Sweet, just get rid of the text, it's too distracting.

[Panique]

You rendered it? If so awesome, if not **** that.

I don't like the border, try changing it to nice old boring 1px black! S'what I do. Also yeah, the text is nasty. Ditch it, or work on it. Make it smaller and work on placement, and get rid of the tildes.

[Moop]

Use a less rough font. The outer glow on the text helps to soften it, but I recomment using something softer for the font, as well.

Here's something NON black and white for you guys....

and yes, I know I have to fix the blue-grey C4D on the right.

The picture is not showing for me. :<

Really? Works just fine for me.

[musical zombie.]

Version one is much better, because the text is really cheesy and slapped on in V2. The colours are nice and match the picture, but I don't know about the right side..it overall just doesn't fit. Nice use of flames. I think this would look better as a central piece (with Naruto in the middle), rather than on either the right or the left. Could use a border, too; some pieces of yours look better without them, but I think this one would benefit.

[Tacheon Black]

The picture looks washed-out. The first version is the best, but there's nothing really interesting going on. The whatever effects that you have covering the render are really distracting, and detract from the piece. Also, Muzz. is right, add a border.

----------------------------------

WHAM! BAM! CONCEPT PIECE!

[musical zombie.]

It may be a concept piece, but I really don't like it. The text is REALLY choppy, and I mean REALLY choppy, and it's kind of a transparent weird metallic sort of font, and it's not very pleasing to the eye. The border is messed up, as well - that may be on purpose or not, but it looks bad. :/ Sorry, bud. Not working too well for me.

[Tacheon Black]

Bummer. Yeah, the text is supposed to look 'glassy', and the border was for ****s and giggles.

I guess I'll just go kill myself, then.


Wait-- you're not doing something stupid like using Internet Explorer, are you?

[musical zombie.]

Naw, I'm using Firefox. I can see the transparency.

[Tacheon Black]

Bummer. =\

[-=Cobra=-]

Too choppy for the text. If it was smooth it'd be sexay.


I'll post my latest:



for a battle on another site. It's still a WIP, as i'm not entirely sure where to go with it.

The text is pretty crap. Really. Apart from that, no real complaints.

Add a border, and you have something simple that a naruto fanboy would love.

Keep the niceness coming.
