whoah, 10 mins?! Does that include thinking about how you want the signature to look or do you sorta just wing it?

Messing around with C4D as well as I learned how to apply image to a layer so messed around with that as well lol.

It includes thinking about how I want the signature to look included. I never wing it. .w. Or well, wait.
I go by.. doing what feels right the most, even if it's incorrect and then, if it doesn't fit I think about it. It doesn't take much. D:

And holy cow. 10 minutes. I have to admit, the result is better than anything I could do in 10 minutes, but you still see that it was rushed. I can't leave out the buts, can I..? orz


I was confused as to what "yo" meant, I thought it was a greeting

mfw stupid me

But yeah, it's a literal 10 minute job. Most of the time was spent on finding that one fractal I like since there are 6 folders and they all have about 50 of them in each folder. qq Pain in my butt. I'll take some time with my sigs from now on.

I don't know if I am slow then, but my works take from 1-3 hours for signatures, gfx entries and such. Layouts around 15hours, lol.

i wanted to practice making cards/claims so i whipped this up. thoughts? i could always use some advice.
also, what are people's methods for dotted borders in photoshop? i've been using the selection + pattern method but only the left and top gets the border so i have to duplicate it and move the layer again to get the other two sides. i hope that makes sense.

I have never made a dotted border that small but maybe going to the shape tool, select rectangle, set fill to empty, stroke the color of the border, 1 pt and then next to stroke should be stroke options and you can do dashed lines there as well as mess with the properties of it.

That looks really cool.

I personally prefer the 1st one, the colours and blending is superb. Although the lighting is a bit off, imo. The render looks a tinnnny bit grainy, but that's about it. The text could use some work. I like the effects, but it looks a bit grainy.

Overall, good job. I'd love to find out how you did the effects. (º﹃º)

Yup, second one looks better~

As for gradient mapping/photo filtering, you'll always want to use colors that would
compliment the overall tag/sig which you already did on the second one.

Agreed, the text mainly, I don't mind the border as much, maybe just making it thinner and a different color?

Looks quite cool.

The 2nd and 3rd one are out of the questions, the glows are too weird.

The text is awesome.
The render is low quality, so you need to fix that, and overall the quality of the signature is very low. It's a bit too monotone, but I'd still choose the first one. KIU :)

Agreed, the light orbs don't really fit since it's a different color and doesn't add to the flow of the signature... though it's really easy to fix by just color adjusting them and removing orbs that do not create flow, and you can also make it flow better by having one side with less/thinner amount of orbs and as you reach the other side, increase/widen the amount there.

Other than that, I think the sig looks wonderful :)

the font is not the problem, rather its the style that you used. I would never use a 3px outside border on a pixelfont.

I would suggest something like that:

OHHH!!! THAT HELPS A LOT!!! Thank you so very much!!! How did you get the text like that? O: Did you use a glowy effect (and turned down the opacity)?

Thank you so much ahaha I've always had trouble with how to make my text more visible (when it comes to profiles and using pixel fonts) when the background isn't dark or black ; v;

Ahhh that's where I went wrong hahaha I tried doing 1px with a white border. (Also I just opened up my file and the border was actually 2px haha I thought it was 3px for sure XD )

Here's the change!! It's definitely more readable now!! ;v ; Thank you so very much again!!

Re-did that Konno Yuuki signature I had earlier done... and gave up on. I really like how this one ended up, though I wish I could have given the text more depth... still a work in progress however.

@ryoukii It looks good, the text goes well with the overall bright sig. But one question, are the smaller texts intended to be unreadable?

@Yorium, It's great, I love two toned colors. I'd also agree with changing the font/size of the text, but that's just me.
