[XDC Dresden]

I'm experimenting with different effects with the angel sig. It's a work in progress. Here's one I just made for XGC Hulk.

font is hard to read :]

i think Ixias meant that you could crop the domo sig, make it like 3-4 pix shorter, that way the line will be gone. then re-add the 2x2 border and problem solved!

why didn't i think of that....? <.<

That's why she's the general lol =)

Angel is good.
Hulk, the text seems a little girly

Go on dafont.com and look for the font called defused. I think it would work with this sig. =)

 

[XDC Dresden]

I have defused. I don't want to use it.

But I'll use this font:

I'm still not feeling the font. Maybe fade it out a bit?

Text is tricky. I usually pull a color that blends well with the sig. I would choose a dark green and put a drop shadow on it in yours.. and normally i make the name larger and the clan & rank and what not smaller, like so...sometimes it helps to use two different fonts, but simple ones, nothing too extravagant.

a lot of times with the darker backgrounds ill make the text white and set it to overlay, like above ^^

 

[XDC Dresden]

Alright. What about this? I also added the splatters.

 

[SYN MsTwiztid]

Ok Dresden. This is basically what i started with. I sized and placed my image, then I duplicated it, added a Gaussian blur of around 30-40, and then I erased over the focal. This is how i started my image. Hopefully this will help. No smudging required ^.^

 

[SYN MsTwiztid]

Alright. What about this? I also added the splatters.

I think this is great. I like the direction you're going with this. The only thing about it is the right side of him isn't very blended, so he looks a little odd. Maybe try blending him in on the right side a little more. Great Lighting, Coloring and Effects though.

And the text just works a lot better. Great work.

 

[XDC Dresden]

Alright, I'll work on it some more. Here's something I just made trying a few different effects.

 

[SYN MsTwiztid]

Oh snap! I'm liking that one. Usually you want to stick to the rule of thirds, but i'm actually digging the placement here. Great work.

I like that you lightened the background to match the render but now it looks a bit too over saturated. instead of lighting up the entire background, try adding in some simple light effects such as optical flares or some subtle light sources.
