I see what you mean. V1 kind of goes with the render more.Zexion said:
It's just the text that is throwing it off.
Sepia? I actually never use that setting on my signatures xD. I think it's the way my colors blend that makes it feel Sepia.#karma said:
@bittermeat: It's the nintensoft logo in text form, so it had to be like that. That's what I meant when I didn't mean I was going to perfect it

. I'll try and stick to another color, but all the renders I've been using have an orange or brown color to them so I like the dark orange/brown look for them. I need to find more colorful renders, lol.

Author's Comment: I didn't perfect this signature, I wanted it to be brief and to the point. If you think I'm getting horrible at signatures, I'm really not. I don't want to "master" an advertising signature, the main idea is to get the viewer's attention and that's what I aced.
BTW MAKING V2 WITH DIFFERENT BORDER!!
Version 2^^
Looks great.Nikoking said:
Took a while on this one... CnC?
Just one tip though that really helped me for making signatures:
Try to imagine a movie scene with your render in, then imagine that movie scene with the type of background you're aiming for with your signature. How would that character fit in with the background?
Basically the idea behind this is that you work to make your character and the background one, with some of your signatures I've noticed that your characters have been separate from the backgrounds, which isn't a good thing.
Instead of just laying the render on top and how about making the background come from the render? An example would be a dragon fire-breathing to create a fire background. That's just one way of combining the render and the background.
Alright, thanks for the tip Jas0nJas0n said:Looks great.Nikoking said:

. I'll try using that in another signature I make.

What Jas0n said.Nikoking said:

The text still needs work.
Yea, I was going to mention the text but I know that text is probably one of the hardest things to get right.bittermeat said:What Jas0n said.Nikoking said:

You could try rotating the text and putting it along the edge of the focal point (aka render) that way your eyes wouldn't be forced to move away to read it, the only problem with that is that it sometimes looks odd unless you match it up with the flow and depth around that area. If this doesn't work too well, try keeping the text straight and just putting it somewhere close to the render, rather than the edge of the signature. Remember that text is free, it doesn't need something to lean against.
You could also rasterize text which allows you to use erasers on it, I find if you do this and use a grungy type brush on the edges you can get a nice effect which helps it blend in.
Or you could even duplicate the text and use a gaussian or motion blur on the back layer to give it a slight glow effect.
The positioning is better, but the colour, gradient and emboss is a no-go.Nikoking said:
Okay, I fixed the text and used some text techniques.
If you want text coloured, the best thing to do is take a colour from your signature (preferably one that isn't too bold) and then reduce the fill and/or opacity of the text to allow the background colour to seep through.
Either that or use white text with the opacity/fill reduction to allow colour to seep through.
EDIT: Also note that you can use the rasterizing of text to colour it with a grungy brush so it's not one flat colour.
Alright, thanks. It's been a while since I've made a signature, so I've forgotten things like text placement, but now I got it back.Jas0n said:The positioning is better, but the colour, gradient and emboss is a no-go.Nikoking said:
