How often do the test images change? Every 2 weeks?

 

[Rave]

The test images are posted once a week. I post them on sundays.

 

[VodkaForME]

So I should wait until the next ones are posted? Since they will be posted in 2 days? Because I don't really like the current ones.

 

[Jupiter]

no i highly suggest you do the 2 that are posted. youre not always going to like the image that a person requests.

 

[VodkaForME]

I will just wait because I don't think 3 days is enough to make the signature. We only have as much time as the test image is posted, right?

 

[Jupiter]

you should atleast make an attempt..

 

[VodkaForME]

I won't be home most of tomorrow and sunday. I won't have time to make too much of an attempt, but I will take your advice since you are the experienced one here. I will try these test images tomorrow.

 

[Jupiter]

thats all we ask is that you atleast try

 

[XDC Jinno]

too much blurring on the whole entire signature wouldn't do much for the signature.

Went ahead and made a second one. Ive been doing these in no longer than maybe 10 minutes apiece, I never liked to spend too much time on a sig, alot of times you end up doing too much and it just hurts the overall result (youd be surprised if you started releasing a sig when halfway through you thought it looked good, but decided to keep going with another effect, and saw what people said )

 

[VodkaForME]

For some reason I can't get rid of the background on the 1st test image. Could I get some help on erasing the background without erasing the focal?

 

[VodkaForME]

Could I also get a link to a good website for fonts?

 

[XGC Rare FX]

There are hundreds of tutorials on YouTube explaining how to get rid of a background in an image, this was the first one to show up in my google search.

And then, for fonts, best website IMO is http://www.dafont.com/

Sorry for posting in here guys, but he said he was short on time so I figured I would help him out since you guys aren't always here

i would have incorporated more of megan in the sig & im not too fond of the text in the corner.

 

[VodkaForME]

I can't figure out what to do with this weeks test images in order to make a signature. I will wait until tomorrow to make my first one, I guess...

 

[XGC Rare FX]

Can you be more specific? The font is plain, but that is actually one of my favorite fonts, the line through the text was a last second addition, I actually use it on most of my text, but its usually only a soft light with a super low opacity.

As for effects in the new sigs, I haven't done sig work in like 2 years or so (didn't do it much after I left XG for a while) so alot of it is coming back to me (mostly when Im like laying down going to sleep xD, best thinking time IMO).

But anyways, how do you guys handle the voting for apps these days (I used to have it done at weekly meetings) ?

 

[Jupiter]

i didnt say i didnt like the text i said i didnt like it in the corner lol

we discuss apps at our weekly meetings also

 

[XGC Rare FX]

Ahh, haha, gotcha . Looking up at it now, I probably should've put it more centered, so it looked line up with the fractal. Text was always my weaker point, although, I'm starting to remember some of the tricks I picked up from some of my friends back in the day, for those 2 sigs I was more relying on the beginner tactics that were imbedded into me xD (the ones you never forget )

 

[Jupiter]

i find it best to put the text close to the focal so it doesnt draw any attention away from it.
