It's been months since I've touched Photoshop so bear with me.. lol

 

[KoG Lithium]

Sorry it's been a minute since I've done anything lol!

Not bad at all, seems a little empty though, well for my liking at least.

I'd like to see what you can do with this render:

Make your own background and make the sig sort of grungy by using smudge tool.

 

[KoG Lithium]

Honestly, I wouldn't even know where to begin with smudging, it's something I've never learned to do >_<

Okay I gave it a try..

This is a really good start, the smudging here is well done. Let's keep going with this sig and add some effects to it. What I want you to play around with is c4ds and space effects. Make it glow but don't overblow it. Try to do some lighting as well, the light source on the render is coming from the top so add a light source there (large soft brush with white can do it). Then make a new layer and add white where you want highlights, set to overlay and play with opacity. Do the same with black for shadows.

I'm having a hard time with this, I'm not sure why. This is what I ended up with. It's a little over sharpened but yeah.

I think it looks good! Last step with this one is text, see what you can do with that.

Cool, works for me. Well done. I'm gonna give you another request soon.

 

[KoG Lithium]

Sounds good

 

[XGC OTHINUS]

Sounds good

Alright. Let's make this harder by not using a render. I want you to make a sig from this image:

I'm looking for something as colorful as possible with only one of the people in the pic. So do the sig with either the girl or the guy but not both. The image as a lot of flow so work off of that and make it shiny! haha. Basically just do what you will, but super colorful.

Hope this is okay?

[XGC OTHINUS]

Those are all pretty cool! I like them, very nice text work.
