my first one for wand. he didnt like it but i thought it wasnt bad for a first attempt, the text is messed up tho.....

Image
made for my friend morgan wen i was bored....wen i first got the program and couldnt stop using it :wink:

Image
wands oredered sig, the supreme kickass sig i made. this one, morgans, and my pixy one i think are my top 3


Image
another sig made for my friend, new brushes, but no effects on the background, not the best :?


Image
Image
sigs made for wen iwas sls, top one i think is better.


Image
sig for wands friend he wanted me to make. i think the background came out really good. the picture on the right took about an hour to trace out with the lasso cuz of the stupid background WAND!!!


Image
another sig i made wen i was bored. kinda half done, just made it for anyone that may want it.


Image
anyone who saw my first one wen i first started posting under grimm, its the same one with a different background and different text.


Image
made for the name pixy. this is one of my favorites, the text coveres up the Galm logo, but there isnt much room on the canvas. still trying to work with it some more to make it better.


Image
another one i made wen i was bored. its not complete. i was gonna use the pics wand gave me of kairi, then i was gonna try to use a pic of namine for his celina sig, but he didnt want to. so after having these 2 pics for a while, i finally did something with them, but its still not completely done, background needs work.


Image
OMFG I JUST ANIMATED SOMETHING!! i never used to like animation, but i gave it a try anyway, i think it came out pretty good if i do ssay so myself :D

Image
i absolutely love the way this came out. im a huge fan of black and white and the render was perfect for an all greyscale sig. made for shadow on his request post. the only thing i dont like is the background, its a big weird, but i will work with it to make it better. this is definately good, one of my best, but its still open for editing, maybe a bit of animation :wink:

Image
just made this, took sooooo long to figure out the PNG thing, but i got it down. my first attempt to make a sig that pops out of the background. not the greatest, and again, black and white RULES!!! :D
ED: found some errors in the gun cut out and bottom of pic. going back to remake and see wut i can do, its a tough render....red areas locate wut im talkin about

Image
edited it up. looks a bit better. the gun is much better but there wasnt much i could do for the bottom, i just cut it to make a point :\ at least its a bit better

Image
just made this wen i was bored. stil trying to develop that new grunge style blade. so far i think its doing well. i got this nice pic of roxas and thought i do something with it...

Image
concept sig made for ivy wen i was bored. was trying out new text effects in her name, she has some of the best pics and quotes that would go with her name, so i thought id give it a shot. as usual, background isnt top quality but i think the rest is good

Image
for miras leaving day :cry: the saved picture didnt work, thats why u can see the white background, trying to fix it wen i have time

Image
sig made for alis bday, thought the renders came out nice. they were crystal clear, some of the best ones ive seen. background i think came out good too for being kinda hurried between open internet and trying to host it actually on her bday :D

Image
kakashis ordered sig, came out pretty nice....

Image
made for my friends paintball forums. used to have his name in blood text (ivy sig type text) in the top left but he didnt want it so i took it off. still have to ask him wut the portugese flag symbolizes....

Image
my fake emo sig :D nice squall render

Image
used the same squall render and the lightning background effect. this is one of the best ones ive made i think. i just need to work with the text abit more

Image
made for darfin, not too bad, lots of background layers :)

Image
my company symbol :) not good, but all the logo tuts online either suck, or are too hard and too tedius for my tiny attention span.

Image
my sig with my custom classic white G and black rimm. my color scheme since ive owned JA

Image
my new avatar, taken from a very nice image of rku. kinda new with the wings...

Image
sig for paine, shes my favorite character in final fantasy x-2. more to come including Toph, KOS-MOS and Ziggy/MOMO

Image
well heres the KOS-MOS one, i absolutely love it, its another new style. u will definately be seeing more like these, prolly with the other characters listed above

Image
the promised toph sig. the entire thing was built around her eyes, the text and the border are the same color as her eyes. i showed this to my friend who loves avatar and she loves it, as do i. does it not pull off the "i absolutely love her when she smiles" look? i did use the paradox motto "mess with the best die like the rest" i thought it was fitting, hope no 1 gets mad...

Image
and the last of the bunch. tried to switch up the background but it didnt come out as well :/ still looks good tho, the renders came out well

Image
my most recent one, i had an inspiration for an angel sig so i made this and i think it came out great.

Image
another new one made with the new Photoshop CS3. made with an incredible render from www.planetrenders.com

Image
made for Azula, another one of my favorite girls from avatar, shes such a bitch but shes awesome, i love how the blue flames came out.

Image
what better to follow azula then her brother. there was so much i had to put in this sig that i think im gonna make a new sig thats much bigger, like 800 x 600 and have most of zukos life written into it using pictures and slogans. though ill prolly have to wait a while for the time to do it.

Image
an ordered sig for my friend in hamilton. came out pretty good cept nothin special, a bit plane. im trying to expirament with more vivid stuff and its not wokring out too well.... :/

Image
made this one after a loooong break from photoshop. felt real good to come back and make them. this is one ive been wanting to do for a while and i love the text, makes the effect alot stronger.

Image
same one as above, but with rain style, looks a lot more dramatic

Image
redid wands sig with "modern" ideas, abilities, skills, and knowledge

Image
sam fisher sig made becuz of the sudden realization that i had seen the coolest poster for jekyll and hyde wen i was about 4...and now i realized that it was perfect for the sig. that quote is from jekyll and hyde the musical.

Image
a sig made for no reason wutsoever in graphic design at 8:28 in the morning. phoshop elements sucks....

Image
i found an old tutorial that i had used a while ago and decided to put it to use to another avatar sig. not as good as the toph or zuko sig, but not too bad...

Image
the voice actor for Uncle Iroh died after the second season :( and there are a few tributes out there, i thought id make one. "Brave soldier boy, come marching home..." :cry:

Image
made for a guy at the nintendo wifi forums, came out really nice

Image
a sig i spent some time on, a good 2 hours with some new brushes and effects. i like it altho it was being a bit stubborn about some lighting issues....

Image
:O :O :O. nothing else to say cept i love that feather tool....

Image
hopefully gonna stay as my new sig if i dont make something better, i ran out of text styles so i looked one up and got this awesome effect.

Image
i was determined to get senbon zakura's petals floating around byakuya and i finally accomplished it and this is the result. EDIT: i was able to get back to my windows and run akvis enhancer on it, so this is the new updated version

Image
my first sig since a long artist block. im gonna fiddle around with it more, but for now i like it

Image
sig i made n digital photography class with photoshop elements. im gonna bring it into CS2 and finish it up later

ummm....were are the borders on the sigs? il not critisie you cause you relativly new to it ;) just remember border's improve on your blending and colour schemes, use new brushes dont use the same again and again. makes it to predictable.

i dont know, my first one had a border, but i dont think it showed up. my photoshop is downloaded, so i think it didnt install correctly so half the features arent there. adobe bridge doesnt even open for me lol. but ill rememer that. as for brushes, i use the grunges and these ones called bash brushes. i have many more, but those are my favorite. wen i have time to experiment, im gonna use 2 different colored brush backgrounds, i know thats not saying much, but i havent really explaored the program yet. critisize all u want, im here to learn.

good ;) to hear m8. but listhen the border is really easy m8, make a new layer and ctrl+a and then go to edit and then stroke and then make sure its about 2-3 px no more and inside and then ok :D boprder done ;) and gradient it if u want im sure u no how ;)

im lovin ur new sig right there, im tryin to figure out on my own how to get the render to come out of the sig.

If you want to have heros not just in the image but in outer side, just make your canvas size bigger.

PostPosted:Thu Sep 28, 2006 7:51 pm
by Squall
basically what i do is, i make the background first. do it all up and whatnot then i save it as a jpg and then make a new canvas bigger, and then open the background and put it in place, then ctrl+ click the layer its on put a border round it then get the render and start of there ;) save as PNG to get the invisable background effect on forums, but keep in mind some browsers dont allow PNG. nuke evolution has a fix for it but use firefox if you dont already, if you use internet explorer then you will see the background ;)
