[XGC Dragon Skin]

This is the photo I am working with before I start with the tones.

Still doesn't work. There needs to be more reds in it, look at his armour. Your text is almost impossible to read.

 

[XGC Dragon Skin]

Alright let me work on for awhile longer I am going to make the blue smoke next to the lightning red.

 

[XGC Radioactive]

Instead of doing a white and black background, do red and black.

i'm liking it so far. the background is a little plain, try using a c4d to spice it up.

remember, try not to distort the focal. you can smudge/erase the c4d over him if needed. your text is too hidden, but the placement is ok.

I like the second one but try adding in the c4d like radio said.

Try using a different setting on the c4d such as screen or lighten because you can see a line at the top and bottom of the one with the c4d in it.

Nice I really like it. =)

 

[XGC Dragon Skin]

Yes the c4d really added some depth that wasn't previously there. Looks like I am going to have to go hunting for some c4d material for future use.

Keep in mind you dont always have to use c4ds or fractals. there are a huge variety of stock images out there at your disposal. take scenerey for example, for the above sig i would use something like this

and play around with the settings & opacity and also size until you find a nice fit. star stocks, nebulas, flares, rust, etc... are all great things to look for when trying to spice things up a bit.


as you can see i used the above stock image in this sig as a huge part of the effects

Yes I am definitively going to play around with the backgrounds. I haven't done much with backgrounds. I am going to be busy today but sometime in the near future I will give it a try. Thank you Sakura!

 

[Jupiter]

not a problem keep up the awesome work.

 

[XGC Dragon Skin]

I had a sig request from my general and this is what I have so far.

 

[Jupiter]

youve got two focals going on with the knight and the skull which makes it confusing & cluttered. i like what youve got so far as a background though. and the colors are blending nicely. if you were to remove the skull youd have a nice place for your text to go. i would also make the text a touch smaller.

Gotcha
