Raik's Sigs
- Thread starter RaiK
- Start date
for the one with the wolfish thing - a little white on the left side of the render, but that can be fixed easily. Also, it's ok to use brushes, kinda spices up the sig, but don't overpower it, I'm sing quite a bit of brush in that and it seems almost as if it's eating up the character lol, also, a border would be good, I used to not use borders, then I started, and they look much better. But it's a good sig, it could just use some finishing touches
the yoshi one is probably better than most (if not all) of mine

Wolfish thing is a Teddi!
Brushes are fail.

those aren't brushesOddCrazyMe said:
it's probably a background he found online. IMO, brushes are better than backgrounds as long as you don't overdo it. It takes more creativity and it gives the sig a more original and customized look.
I do agree it looks good for a grunge sig, I've actually been in your position before
I went a bit crazy with the brushes lol
there's nothing to be ashamed of using a ton of brushes, it's an experiment and it makes it look good, but with most people, they won't respect your work if you overdo the brushes, but as Prop always says, as long as it looks good. Eventually you'll be able to make sigs with little or no brushes whatsoever and make them look just as good

my comments:RaiK said:Kay, I made a few more today...and since I still dont have enough posts to edit my previous posts, here they are:
first one, looks cool, but do you use layers? cause I'm seing some scrathes in front of her and not in the background
but the sig itself looks stylish.second one, it could use some work on the render, and once again, the brushes are in front of the render.
third, the camo-ish background doesn't really match the gun, but it's not terribly clashed. Is that gun from Quake?
fourth, some extreme brushes in front, doesn't look too pretty like that
some tips:
work with layers, make a layer that's the render and another layer that's the background, and only use brushes on the background
brushes do fit with grunge but you should experiment and try some different styles. It's not healthy growing to use brushes on every sig, you need to get some experience by trying new things and making a sig look just as cool without putting a ton of brushes in.
Also, I'd recommend putting your name in the sigs, adds some style, and it adds your own little signature on your work.
But no worries, you're a good artist and will get better as you go
