It all depends, how long have you been making sigs?
For a while now.


Well, honestly ; its not that good. It has a nice ideal to it ; but the text is bad and they don't blend that well with the background.

What program do you use?

Why do none of you guys get it?

Pattern Backgrounds Suck.

To make a great background using effects, my advice to you would be to take a real image, or make loads of different colours on your background....or even duplicate your render and make it large enough to fill your screen......and set it as background.

Once you have done this really Fuck it up...i mean get your effects and just go crazy, Smudge like crazy...whatever you want...just fuck it up.

After a few minuets or even seconds of Background mashing you may notice that you have a really good background.

And then it is all up to you, blend the signature and add a little thing I just learned called DEPTH, using your imagination find ways to make certain areas of the background look closer than others.

Example:


Look at the background....its really fucked up and I made it myself....however when you make backgrounds like this all the time you get so used to it that your no longer fucking up the background, but making a Controlled messgrin

Look at the top left of cloud, I made a light source, which actually looks like it is gleaming off him, I also made the left side lighter than the right.

Then look around the background and notice that I added DEPTH the background Actually looks Distant from Cloud, but he also looks like he is in the image, and not a cut and paste JOBBY.

Why?:
That’s where editing the render comes into play, I used a few things called gradient maps, and photo filters, which some people may not have on their programmes because it may be a Photoshop thing, but putting a coloured layer over the images and setting it to a layer mode and a Percent opacity can work as well.
Getting a copy of your render behind your original render and Blurring, and then erasing the edges of the top render (unblurred render), you can really make it look like your render is in the picture.

Now I know im not exactly the best person to try and give you advice on signature making, and I know i was not able to give you the perfect example of how to do the things I think you should learn, but it is still advice none the less, and some of you can do with advice like that as long as you understand how to use it......so READ CAREFULY.

And if any of you have any questions or comments just PM me or ask me here, and if you try out anything that I said and you think it was REALLY helpful and it helpt you make a good sig....show me and tell me I helped a little.

THANK YOU.

here's my newest sigs, wanted to make some MK sigs so i did.

this came out the best of the three Mk sigs i made imo, i like it.
this came out the worst of the three, raiden is sorta blurry, text do not fit sig.
this one came out good i guess, i think i accidentally strecthed the render. sad --------------------------------------------------------- Romank, to be honest, its alright. The background dosen't fit the sig well, nore does the text. good job cutting out the render though!6/10 ---------------------------------------------------------- Gamermk66, you're getting better.Just remember to make the render fit the sig, not vice versa.

I like this sig, but i think it needs an aquired taste....i think quite a few of you wont like it.

Cozmos the text on that sig is great....if only it were a little more visable.

RomanK, that sig is very good....but you can use a little improvement.

I am not into the Sektor one, it looks like you rely way too much on C4D's on some of your sigs.

I like your current though, you need to touch up on Text just a little though.

Hell Yeah man, a tut would be awsome. !!

I love that style.

Little word of advice though, using a tut take techniques you have learnd and mix them together to make your own styles.

I realy wanna see that tut though, and your newest one is Also great.


P.S. to everyone See OLD and NEW in my sig, its god my new and my old stuff, gonna start updating it regularly now I thinkgrin

Tell me what Yall think.

Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do once I get comfortable enough with it. Also, these are part of a project me a friend are working on...we're trying to make sigs of all the Tekken characters. I'm doing half, and he's doing half. My next one will be Roger Jr., lol. Thanks for the comments.

BTW I sent you the tut so check your IMs.
