Well you certainly did a hell of a lot better job on lighting then what I could of when I was a beginner :).

Idk what made it grainy, I think it must be the resolution of your photo, or how you sized it. If none of that is the problem, it must be one of the steps you took in your signature.

[Baked-Potato]

I am :) I'm working on a radioactive soldier right now.

Just gotta start practicing, I couldn't even make a mr. potato head when I first started photoshop.

Oh Em Gee! If you ever make a Mr.Potatohead sig I claim it mine! :)

(Or any potato based sig if you ever decide to go food d: )

[Pharcyde]

Yeah it's all yours, check back in a couple hours, I am busy cleaning my house quick and just checking comments quick. When it is done, I will re upload it and replace the one on here with yours.


Also, there are all kinds of ways to find images. The Legion Paladin has no background. I just took the legion paladin and smudged his effects throughout the entire signature. Then the bouncing light is called a C4D Light or C4D render. There are many types of C4D's ranging from C4D 3D or C4D Explosion, even C4D Blue or White. For backgrounds, lets say you want a nice cloud picture. Google "Cloud Stock". Then for people or objects, lets say a biosoldier, google "Biohazard soldier stock (or) render". This is what I got, a perfect picture to use for a signature.

Yeah I will give it a shot, the first image is too low of a resolution. Instead of 1x1 pixels, it is 3x3 pixels. I can't do anything to that without it coming out bad, if you have another picture, I'd be happy to blend them.

[mugen]

sweet! thanks Pharcyde if not to much to ask can i have my igns Apotheosisman and Uiscebeatha

[Pharcyde]

sweet! thanks Pharcyde if not to much to ask can i have my igns Apotheosisman and Uiscebeatha

Yeah I need to make a list of things I need to do and this will be on it.

Edit* It will not be a full body pic, more like here face and maybe some chest. It would look like a person got smashed down to the size of a waffle if I render the entire thing into a signature.

[Pharcyde]

Yeah I like using tons of tutorials for one signature :). That Legion Paladin was a mixture of four tutorials. I'm getting better slowly :), oh if you want, I am using a Elite GFX Tutorial site that shows amazing graphics and from your work, I know you can handle them, easily :D. Yeah totally I'd love to see some of your stocks ;). Then I can also share some of my stuff I found, I found a dead forum site that has some AMAZING stocks and renders on it. And working tutorials lately?

[Ladylove]

Here's that original image. The photoshop I was using was a trial I think, so fewer features.

Hm... theres your problem. Look at how wide the original is compared to the sig you made. I'll get it without a ton of large pixel's.

Yah, most GFX sites have died in the past few years. The site I was a part of for the longest time has finally died, but fortunately, one of the members created another site, so hopefully we can get started back up. Anyway, the old site was guildinn.com. It has some great tutorials, stocks, renders, and other resources. What site do you use? I'll post some of my stock sigs in a bit. We are about to have some severe storms, so I'm getting a little paranoid.

[Ladylove]

I tried :( Screw around with it, I suppose. I wasn't sure exactly what to do it it.

[Pharcyde]

I forgot the actual link to it but I will go post it in a second. It was the Lord of the Rings Online forum GFX section. Let me find the link quick. Check edit in a couple of seconds.

Edit: hmmm... struggling to find it, let me check my history.
Double Edit: Ugh.... it seems to have just vanished off my history :(.....

Well biggest problem for signature makers is fitting a very large render into a small canvas. You have to size it down while holding shift and you have to choose a very small portion of it to put into the picture. I will do that for you and post it :) I want you to add your own effects in photoshop :).

Lol oh dear. I kept trying to get back into it and it kept saying I had to download all this stuff that I had to pay for. Then it just wouldn't let me in. BUT, I can do my searching.

I like google the best, you can find custom made renders that people put their heart and soul into since they are using them for their own signatures.

Well that's what people do on most render sites ;) There are many of those same renders that you've been using on planetrenders. I'll post my stock sigs in a second.

Theres just too many crap renders on planetrenders though. I usually search through like 200 renders before I find a good one. I usually get a great one right off the bat on google.

[Rebel]

This one is pretty over contrasted and sharpened, but it was one of my first stocks.
http://i554.photobucket.com/albums/jj401/camodawg/abstractgirlsig.png

This is still one of my favorite all time signatures.
http://i554.photobucket.com/albums/jj401/camodawg/girlstocksigbrighter.png

An abstract c4d sig.
http://i554.photobucket.com/albums/jj401/camodawg/abstractcupsig.png

Just an eye stock with effect c4ds.
http://i554.photobucket.com/albums/jj401/camodawg/BWeyestocksig.png

Hand stock. Made the ball of light from scratch.
http://i554.photobucket.com/albums/jj401/camodawg/handstocksigv2.png

Jet sig. I made this one a while back, and now I see that the spot on the right is WAY too over sharpened.
http://i554.photobucket.com/albums/jj401/camodawg/jetsig.png

[Pharcyde]

Tip: Before you sharpen, always apply your image on a new layer or duplicate the layer(s) you are sharpening. That way you can erase the over-sharpened areas or reduce the intensity with a low opacity soft eraser.

Yah, I wish I'd known that back then. My newer sigs are much cleaner. I just wish I had more time to practice and such. I mean, when I see some people make sigs, it just seems so natural. Everything they make is just absolutely amazing! Oh well, hopefully in time....

[Pharcyde]

I learned tricks from one of the most revered GFX Artist out there on how to make a great signature.

Step one - What is the resolution of your signature render(s)? If its anything below 72, don't even bother with it.
Step two - Can you fit the render without it looking choppy? No matter what effects you add, it will look crappy if the render itself does not look good in the canvas by itself.
Step three - What sort of Lighting or contrast do you want to achieve? If you have a bright picture and you want to make a even brighter signature, consider ramping down the brightness before you even start.
- Optional - Leave one point of the signature untouched. Often the face is a good spot to take a eraser tool and erase all effects and leaves a more natural and less crowded effect.
Step four - Does it have flow? Signatures look natural if the background flows in the same direction as the render. Lighting counts as flow, do dark spots on the signature match the render and do light spots on the signature match the render?
Step five - Does every layer have depth? There are only two kinds of depth, horizon depths and 2D depths, no inbetween. Make sure it follows a 2D depth or horizon depth, this will automatically make any signature a billion times more natural.
Step six - When your done, would you be able to look at your photo and imagine if it came like that without any edits? If no, go back and change effects or renders to achieve desired effects.
Step seven - Add touch ups or lighting changes to ALL layers. This adds to the overall flow, depth and naturalization of the signature.

I follow those steps for every thing I do in photoshop, it really helps me create better signatures.

Always try applying new techniques to every signature is another tip I learned from another great GFX Artist.

Define better than anyones. Sigs range from robots, boxes of cereal, banana's, bears holding guns to pocket legends characters. Amongst that kind of variety, its hard to classify the best in all of the forum.

Dear Brandon,
I just bumped your thread. I want a Pauly D sig as a reward.

Is there any way I can get a kick a** ninja sig? With some kind of blue mixed with purple aura or lightning flowing around him?

Edit: and have it say Leader of AEO at the top and Jespo at the bottom. If possible :)

[Conradin]
