Hey guys, I kind of got caught up in the whole creation of singature craze... and this is what I've made.
Only started making them a week ago...
C&C would be nice... :smile:

Alright guys, ... WTF where is the bad spelling? lol... never mind...
This is my new one... I think I'm sort of getting better... I'm not sure... I'm aiming to get as good as the examples secret put... but I'm far off I know
Here it is:

more like 'the unwated signature'
Awsome signatures, I think not
[QUOTE=MisterQuiggles;17282275]more like 'the unwated signature'[/QUOTE]
Any suggestions then? ><
Looks like run-of-the-mill sigs, or bad, if you want. Overall they are generic, ugly, too sharp and filter raped.
I never really got into signatures. These don't look too bad, but are still pretty generic.
I would look at what 90% of people have as signatures, and do the exact opposite. That way you stand out, and you might find a new, better style.
They look great to me, but I don't like the Grungy style. Well, it's too busy for me. If I had a signature it would look something like this:

I prefer simplistic designes because they don't attack the viewer with such busy images. I suppose my point is, almost all signatures look like yours, and it makes the "individial" style quite the opposite.

I know I posted a crappy signature, I made it in a minute.
Lol you think his are busy?
Check out the one I've been using lately.

It shouldn't have to be busy to attract attention.

[b] I DID NOT MAKE THESE, THEY ARE FROM S.O.T.W IN RUNE-SERVER[/b]
These are what sigs are made of, beastly.
Those are boring.
I hate these styles of signatures.
Yeh I actually don't like the style of signature I'm producing lol :smile:
I'm just experimenting, using different tutorials, different blend options etc.
This is my new one... C&C pl0x

hey thanks for making my new sig
I think the focal needs a bit more blending on the latest one.
I also think it's better to have the name closer to your focal and having it placed at the sides instead of centered, although that's more to do with opinion.
EDIT:
Also, the dude above me just made me remember something.
You're best using your name instead of a title.
I like them all. Especially the fourth one. Guild Wars.

Thanks for that :smile:
Yeh I might start adding my name onto it later... when Im proud of em
Yeh true the text is a bit far away
I'm not sure about the blending, focal thing... maybe if you could explain it more simply? :3 I'm new to this
The focal is the main focous point, which is why most signatures have the font close to the main render.
So your eyes don't have 2 different areas to look at.
And with the blending, on the first post most of them are perfectly fine, but I just thought on the newest one the blending wasn't as good, but then again, I've never done a type of signature like that so it might actually be fine.
But, good work anyhoo.
well done, you can use filters.
as the above posts have stated, simplicity is key.
don't bother making them if you're just filter raping a stock image.
Signatures as well as avatars, are supposed to represent yourself. It's kind of hard to do that when said images are not of something unique, and are instead of something somebody else has seen already. Instead of using stock images, make something up with no source materials used. Draw Bowser yourself in your own style instead of using a stupid stock image for example. Try making some that don't use any filters, and see just how effective simpleness can be.
If you want to make good signatures (as well as avatars), then you first need to stop abusing filters and stock images, because that is what everyone else already does. It's boring. It's pointless. It's far from impressive.

Ok... Umm... I agree with you but...
It's a different thing. There are those who like to make their own characters, themes, renders etc. and there are those who live to make their own versions of what's already out there.
It's up the person making the signature. It's more an enjoyment thing than a... I dunno... I'm not gonna make any money out of it so why be original and make my own characters... when I can just experiment with already great ones out there:smile:
Where is your name on them?
You don't need a name on a sig. It just helps sometimes.
But agreed with the rest. Those sigs are seriously overexposed and oversharpened.
I think the main result in things like this, is that people want fame. They will try to get it any way they can, so they take the shortest and fastest route there. Yet, they fail to realize that the short and fast route they are trying to take is one that leads to a dead end. When they finally reach that so called fame, it's false, and when they are confronted, it's like being hit in the face by a brick wall.
Don't take shortcuts to fame. Be original in what you do, don't use other people's work to make your own stuff. If you don't want to draw your signatures, that's fine. Just start by making things that aren't hard to draw (like a few examples already posted) and work your way up. You are less likely to get negative reviews if you pull off something that is original. Yes, it is a much longer road to be able to accomplish such a task, but it's far more satisfying than trying to get a quick moment of fame. Just do original stuff for awhile and you will soon see just how pointless and hopeless taking other people's work and calling it your own is.

Alright Im gonna apologize then... I shouldn't have put 'Awsome' in my thread heading... sorry :smile: <3??
Good points, but... These things are really more of an experiment with what I can do in photoshop and hopefully make something nice while I'm at it.
I'll make you something original later... ok :buddy:
and I only sharpened one of sigs... and I did it once xD
Love the ba-bomb one, probably because its one of my fave enemies in the nintendo world.
