Yeah thats pretty damn good, sorry that you couldn't enter it in the SOTW but the rules are rules :/

I suggest moving the text lower, because text in corners usually ruins it. Also try changing the colour of the text to something that fits the colour scheme. Don't worry with text though, thats one of the hardest parts in sig making. Guess why my sigs never have text

Thanks mate, Yeah never mind I wouldnt want the rules bending for me. Shame I didnt know the definition of Sci-Fi then lol. I guess I'l enter it into a Superheros SOTW If one pops up.. Yeah I agree Text is probably the hardest step to a sig. Il play around with it later. Thanks for tips & feedback!

[C-Carcharias]

Latest sig I've done...think it turned out pretty well.

[Wiggy_]

I agree C

[spyrde]

Thats some kickass **** right there C!

Do any of you make tech sigs?

Whats a tech sig?

[C-Carcharias]

Do any of you make tech sigs?

I've done a tutorial or two on how to do them, but I'd only do a tech sig if it was requested/theme for a sotw.

Great sig, C-Carcharias!

Here's a drawing I did a couple months back. Being busy with other design projects lately, this is the still the latest thing I'm able to show:

I made this last night:



I use GIMP and I'm still kind of a beginner, but any constructive criticisms you guys have is welcome by me.

Bio thats ****ing amazing! BTW why does he have a dildo in his hands Just kidding, thats ace job man.

Also TRF, thats pretty great too for a GIMP begginer! Hopefully we'll see you in our SOTWs in the future!

Fair enough. I'll update it to be a crowbar. =P

Really, though. Clarity an important factor (it was meant to be a broken pipe), so I appreciate your response, haha (and I'm glad you liked it).

[Arkano6]

The crowbar needs to be red, his hair needs to be much shorter, green eyes and some classic 'geeky' black glasses .

Other than that, it's brilliant!

Thanks! I'll definitely enter at some point. I just need to refine my skills more. With my current level of experience, I don't stand a chance.

@Bio: I really like it! I followed you on deviantART.

Very awesome drawing Bio.
If you change it to a bone it could almost pass for 'secret of evermore' art

I whipped this up quickly for a friend.

[Kyaw]

Something i did for my GCSE art, i need to know which version is the best.
Its based off a optical artist called Bridget Riley. I did it with ink pen and water colour but modified it in Photoshop to be printed off for the final design.

Just quote the image of what you think is the best version or if i could make any modifications to it to make it better. Any CnC will be appreciated too.

here are the links to the Deviantart uploads:

I'm not familiar with GCSE art style, so I can't really give you CnC from that perspective, but based on my own general art knowledge, I prefer the second one over the first (the third one, I assume, is just an original scan or something).

Because #2 is so well-done and intricately detailed enough in its own right, I just don't see the advantage to the added transparent shapes behind it (in #1). #2 is also following a theme of refined, bold outlines with vibrant colors within, whereas the transparent shapes behind it in #1 takes away from that quality/consistency, in my opinion.

Great design, man. Keep up the good work. :]

[Kyaw]

In GCSE art, we are given a range of popular artists to choose from and we do research, explore and experiment with the techniques these artists used and create a final design based on the research and observation drawings. The observation drawings i did are a Fir cone, horse chess piece and an unusual glass bottle.

how about this one?

[spyrde]

Really lovely, and the picture really looks like it is constructed out of those three objects.



Whatch'ya think?

[Bio]

@Kyaw: Looks better than how you had it before! It's now a toss-up between that and #2, though. I find both to be strong in different ways. #3 has a nice repetition to it (now that your new shapes are solid like everything else), and #2 has more elegance and variety on the outer regions.

@spryde: Epic work there. Her face is perfectly incorporated with the design. Something in me wants to see more going on on the right half, though (just the region of her face and the larger swirls radiating from her could stand alone as a great piece). Overall, great stuff.

[Kyaw]

Thanks for the CnC Bio!

I think i will go with the one on the last post.

That is really nice

[TRF]

Some constructive criticism would be nice.

[Arkano6]

Whatch'ya think?

It's real nice, don't get me wrong. But I think you should try some different styles....

[Bio]

@TRF: I like the gritty effects on the character, which mimics the dark mood of the colors, his expression, and his armor. Everything about the visual flows well. The light brings a nice focal point, too. Aside from the font choice, there is no sign of an attempt at typography, though, and it brings down the strength of the overall piece a few notches (it makes the sig appear more suited to be an ad than it does a sig). Overall, it came out nice, but I'd like to see you do more with the text when you decide to use it.
