Hi, welcome to the application process.

[XGC Radioactive]

Also, what program do you use?

 

[XGC DeWhit69]

I use Adobe Photoshop and which test images cause ive used one already, the god of war one when I posted in the training grounds.

 

[VenerealMonkey]

Select any two other images and make a separate sig with each. No previously used designs please

 

[XGC DeWhit69]

Only have one question do you have any size requirements on the signatures? because I know some are 200x400 or 200x500.

 

[XGC Browncoat]

The size limits for signatures on the forum are 500 wide by 200 tall, so please keep them in that range.

The light source is coming from the wrong angel, if you look at the shadows on his face and hands, it's more from over head


Also, the lense flare is a good technique, but doesn't fit at all with the signature. It actually distorts it, I'd remove it.

Gotcha what do you think meow that I took that out and tried something else?

much better, now time to fine tune it!

See the duplicate of the render? Take that out, it's drawing away from the original focal. Your text is a better color, now we just need to work on placement. You want text close to the focal so that the eye doesn't have to look all the way over there to read it, and now they keep bouncing back in forth. You want it almost touching your render.

The outline of the render should be blurred a bit, so it looks like it isn't just sitting on top.

The background needs depth, and you create that by blurring in areas, like some of it is closer, and some of it is further is away.

Okay,

I like the text placement, it's like a tattoo, good thought!

The focal is waaay to dark, and there's a huge blur outline of the render. Use a much much smaller brush to try it.

 

[XGC DeWhit69]

LOL I actually duplicated and used a smart blur so just deleted and created a new one.
