| I tried making the light better but I still didn't like it :( I guess I'll just make a new one. |
 |
| D: I didn't mean to say it looked bad! But I can see the person a whole lot better which I think makes it look pretty good! |
 |
| @Tainted It definitely looks good, but I also think the light was / is something worth improving. But there is also one other thing bugging me. It looks a bit low quality / noisy... Did you apply any extra filters (like sharpening) afterwards or saved it in lower quality? @silverwhirlwind I would have replied if I was there at this time v.v Sometimes it will take me a few days to answer because from time to time I'm at my Girlfriends house for a few days up to a week and then I'm unfortunately busy with other tings as you may guess xD |

Did you apply any extra filters (like sharpening) afterwards or saved it in lower quality? Yeah. I edited it too much and it just turned out like that. That's why I decided to make a new one. |
|
| So I have been getting some requests for graphics and I am trying to incorperate more c4ds into them, what do you guys think about these? |

It looks fine but you should add some lighting to make it blend more. I made another love live sig I didn't like it much so I'm not gonna use it but I'm just gonna post it here. :) |

| @Tainted It very cute looking! :D I like anything love live so I give it 11/10!! Looks sweet >.> |
|
| @silverwhirlwind You really keep improving, but you are using the C4Ds just for the background. I think you should try to integrate them more into the foreground, because that's when C4Ds really "shine" :P Little example I already posted: |
|
| @BigJK I have never used them in the foreground before..... Maybe I can try it out >.> Your looks great though! |
|
| @silverwhirlwind It's really worth the shot :D C4Ds can looks so good when integrated with the flow and there are so much possibility's with the huge amount of different C4Ds ^^ And thanks :3 |
|
| I don't create signatures anymore, but these are the best signatures i have created imo. Some of these are request i made for someone else, contest, etc. Mind you i never got pass the amateur level lol. |
 |
| @Rikku Some of those are pretty good! I think some of the renders could use a bit more blending to match the background and lighting but overall I think they look pretty nice. I like to control click my render and then make a new layer above it. I then set my brush to black and opacity to about 8-10% and do some shading to match the lighting scheme. It helps me match the renders into the banner or graphic more. Unless of course it is something that doesn't need lighting correction. |
|
| I should be back on business eventually. Perhaps not with too much improvements but at least i have good time creating graphics. |
|
| lol thats all that matters is if you enjoy it ^.^ |
|
Made a forum set for my girlfriend :3  Tried playing around with brushes. Feedback is always much appreciated or tips to improve my crappy skills :) |
| @Ardanaz Can't tell you much. The Style you used in both this set and your own is kinda straight forward without a lot that can go wrong, because you know your style very well. Wich is nothing bad because they both look good. There are only 2 things that bug me with the set for your gf. I think the brushes in generell look good, just the one above the girl on the left is bugging me a bit. Maybe you should keep her face "clean". The other thing is the gif you used. The loop could be a bit smoother and there is 1 frame at the end where the blue on the left of her face suddenly is a lot darker, but besides these two things I think it's a good looking cool Signature! :P |

I find it hard to try proper GFX :P I am starting to combine that more into my works though. Before it was purely combining pics, but now I at least add some things to it. |
Yeah, that's what I'm doing :) I've already improved a ton compared to how terrible I was at first :P Just have a look in my Forum sets link in my signature. You'll see how my stuff slowly improves :3 |
| @BigJk: That looks awesome!! I wish I could do stuff like that T_T How did you learn? |
| @BigJk Thanks ( ˃̶ω˂̶ ૃ) That's a good question XD It's been a few years since I started. At the beginning I just put some brush's and renders together and then I started to check out Tutorials on YouTube, Deviant and other Forums. I tried to replicate the stuff and learn certain techniques this way and after long years of trial and error you somehow start to get a grasp of how to combine certain techniques and styles to something that at least looks half good xD |
|
| D: @BigJk that looks so good! I am still trying to find a good way to incorporate c4ds into my foreground but I don't think I'm doing it well yet.... @Ardanaz I like you set! I also agree with BigJk though about the brush over the face other than that two thumbs up from me! Also want to add my own thing I just made :3 found a cool quote by Edgar Allen Poe and made it a profile picture/graphic set what do you guys think? |

| @silverwhirlwind Just keep trying qwq Can't say much to the pictures o: They look good, clean and the gif in the background is added nicely qwq |
|
| @BigJk I need to try and get into the tutorials more :3 Thanks ^^ @silverwhirlwind Thanks :D Looks nice btw! |
| @silverwhirlwind I second what the Biggerjk said. |
 |
It's been a while since I made something.  Is it too dark? feel free to criticize it :). Which do you think is better between the two?  |
TaintedOct 6, 2016 6:54 AM
|
| @Tainted May I ask you how you save your images, because they always look a bit low quality / messy like you saved them with less quality? Or is it because Imgur reduces the quality because you have no account? o: To the signatures in generell. Yes. The first one looks a bit too dark. The second one looks way better. The text looks like it fits there and it all nicely comes together. Maybe the gradient at the border is a bit boring and but besides that good work :3 |
|
| @Tainted I really like the second green one! I agree that the other one is a bit dark in some areas. What application on your phone do you use to edit? And how do you do your "Glow effects"? I just go a request from someone to make on like that but I have never made that style before. |

It's called Picsart and with the glow I just use add or overlay. |
|
| Aw man its been awhile since I made something. I am a slave and school is my master >.> I got an odd request for some buttons for some game a guy is making, anyone have any experience in this? Thoughts? Feelings? Comments? This is what I came up for him. It is supposed to be a sci-fi theme he said... |
|
| Hi guys, im new to the club so i tought i should leave some of my stuff here. :D ( Just start using PS again ) They are all made today: |
  |
| @Shobolan First of all. Welcome here!! ;3 To the pics. Not bad for the beginning, but there is definitely space for improvements. First of all you should try to make the text more readable. IMO It's a bit to dark, especially on the first. Then you should work on your lighting / color correction, the problem can be seen especially on the 91 Days sig and on the last one. In the 91 Days sig there are not really any bright spots wich results in a loss of focus / loss of a eye catching element. For me, because of the "muted" / dark overall light there is no eye catching element, if you know what I mean. Normally It's good to have something to stand in the focus wich attracts the viewers eye directly on the first glance, but on that sig you don't really have that. On the last picture the problem is not the eye catcher but more the the light. It's a bit to bright IMO and that will often result in loss of detail wich you can see a bit in the face of the character. It's not that much of a problem here because there are not that many "precise details" on this char. But you should keep that in mind ;D Hopefully you understood what I meant. Non the less good work and way better than my first works!! Just keep working and learning :3 |
|
| @BigJk Thanks for the advices. I made 2 more signatures, one i made before sawing your comment, so it may lack the lightning, but for the second time i dedicated some time in that lightning, so i hope it looks better :D And i know that 91 Day's one was a totally fail ;_ ; |
| |
| @Shobolan sorry for being late to the party! (you know finals and projects and school...... >.>) Thoes look really good! the 2nd set flows nicer IMO. The first ones the renders on the 1st and 3rd one stand out a bit to much, but hey this is all subjective to me! The lighting and shadows are much better on your last two though! keep up the good work! |
|
| @silverwhirlwind ty :D I actually made one more ( im not really ok with the outcome but ehh.. :D ) |
| |
| @Shobolan Fee Flynn The Flying Flunk never fails to amuse. |
|
| ACK! I'm trying to get beck into the flow of graphics and here are a few I have come up with for some requests on my thread. What do you guys think? These are the ones I think turned out better but please any tips? I feel like I've forgotten so much... |
|
| @silverwhirlwind I'm glad you are back... q.q So... and now back to the graphic talk XD To the Blue Avatar: Can't say much to it... Solid look. Colors fit but maybe you could have added a bit of text and worked that into it. Looks a bit empty or too basic, but for sure not bad! :3 To the Sig on the right: Hm... What bugs me is the simple gray to white gradient and also the edges of the render. Because of the Shadow you can clearly see that it wasn't rendered really well. You can see these small white dots and also the sharpness of the render seems a bit to high in comparison to the rest of the signature. Definitely not bad and I really like it when people incorporate good looking gifs but there are some small things you could still improve ;3 I hope that helps a bit? O: |
|
| @BigJK, I guess all this idle time has made me lazy.... I used the wand to render it XD I usually use the pen tool but sometimes that makes edges look really pixelated for some reason and feathering doesn't help. On the profile pic the person who requested it said no text needed so I left it out (I thought it could use some too). but is there something weird with the grey gradient? I was trying to match the grey's and pinks together. |
|
| @silverwhirlwind Using the magic wand is really lazy... yeah XDD Maybe you could try to remove these little white pixels with a hard 1px eraser and zoom in really far. That's how I handle such small pixel "error's". Maybe It's my personal preference but I'm not really a fan of pink and greys combined v.v |
|
| @silverwhirlwind The second banner thingy, the girl's outline looks kinda funky. |
|
| @silverwhirlwind @HecticLeo @Red_Salmon Tried to get back into making some sigs with c4ds, what do you guys think? o:  |
BigJkFeb 3, 2017 12:58 PM
|
| @BigJk I really like it! The only thing for me is that the bright green light sort of washes out the render for me. That might have been the plan but it almost looks like a brush at high opacity on screen or lighten. But I live the c4ds and detail work!!! |
|
| @silverwhirlwind Thanks :3 And yeah... I was also suspicious about the green light... Already tried to put the render more in focus with removing some of the light above the render v.v I will try to work on that in the future :3 @HecticLeo Thanks :3 and you can also do stuff like that! Just keep learning and trying! D: EDIT: Another work from today... Got a bit in the C4D flow and couldn't stop xD So this was the result:  |
BigJkFeb 3, 2017 7:14 PM
|
| @BigJk mmmmmm that is once nice graphic! Love the colors (I just really like green :P). Everything flows nicely together but there's something about the face and the c4ds that's throwing me off. Its the part that goes from the top left head into the eye. It just seems like it stick out from the render, different from our other c4ds which is a bit odd to me. Idk maybe its just me? |
