sNooKii your a natural to photoshop...keep it up

Snookii, very nice for a beginner. You have a good future in sig making.

Sarevok, I didn't like the left side where her left side repeats. The sorta repeating lines below her neck were a nice addition. 7.5/10

I made this one while actualy working on another peice. It's just a fun little scrap

Nice ty fo the tip frog man and I know that about the scanlines just wanted to try something new

PS aint new for me did some ps 7.0 before but never forum sigs and like the abstract stuff just some photo retouching and I made my own Cstrike webbsite once

But really tnx fo the tips

And ty all for the comments

!

I like ur sig saverok but I say the same as ghost didnt like the repeating lines 7/10.

Nice sigs ghost I give both 7.5/10 cuz they are so simple and plain but yet very cool

Heres the piece I mentioned in my other post.

**FrogMan** · 08-14-2006, 06:57 PM

Bg itself and text text is very nice render wasn't cut out so smooth so probably need to blend it in a little to make it seem more real... seems slightly to hazy but nice 7.5/10

**[Ghost]** · 08-14-2006, 09:11 PM

Ah yes, my bad ability to use the pen tool shows on this. The "render" (I call it stock) came from a magazine which explains the grainyness. I was hopeing a gausian blur layer set to soft light would've helped. Thanks for the input FrogMan, I'm going to continue to work on that one.

**10 man** · 08-15-2006, 06:19 AM

yeah its never really a good idea to use stock from a magazine. the dot matrix kind of messes it up. good job on the background though and i like your choices in text. same tastes as me . simple and sweet. keep up the good work ghost.

**Rampage** · 08-15-2006, 11:42 AM

Im realy gettin into smudging now...it realy fun and what not...some times its hard some times it isnt...lol well heres my latest...imo its better than angelina...but what u think??? should i current or not?

**FrogMan** · 08-17-2006, 02:22 AM

Yea blending is better than current but your text is a little bleh 8/10

**SilverTears** · 08-17-2006, 12:53 PM

I say current it, its awesome, but I agree with terry about the text and by her hand/bewbz there is annoying repetive lines

Nice sk, borders cool, take the dots off of her body though. Other than that I like it. 9/10.

Rate this new 1 plz

**10 man** · 08-17-2006, 04:18 PM

Evan is a trend whore.. lol jk. its nice. splater brush dosnt really go with it though. kind of put to much into that one. its nice but a bit cluttered.

sk. here is a pointer. when your doing smudge manips dont use cutouts. use the whole picture. and smudge that. use a lot of apply image layers too. helps out a lot. totally eleminates those ugly cutout spots that require tons of blending.

**Rampage** · 08-17-2006, 04:21 PM

divine i dont like this one

its way too messy and like dan said the splatter brushes dont go w/ it. and lay off the gblur+lighten lol :P

Dan i think i think ill do that next time :P thx

this is one of you better ones flea nice brushing, depth and colors. but what i dont like are the text and pixelyness in some areas.

and when you do text never put a glow on it. it looks bad. also look for the style of text your siggy is. if its a grunge look for grunge texts if its abstract look for abstract text...so on so fourth. also try to blend your text. play with the opacity and blending mode (if you dont know what im talking about then set it to overlay or soft light and fix the opacity to what ever looks good.

for borders do this

new layer> select all> edIt> stroke> 1px>

and remeber to change the color if you need to

hope this helps.

**fleaflickerx** · 08-18-2006, 04:33 AM

still having trouble on the text becuase it won't appear when i put it on soft light or overlay it just disappears

**SilverTears** · 08-18-2006, 05:01 AM

Its a bit better flea flicker, and when you put it on soft light it will disapear, then thats when you double click the layer and it brings up the settings.. do a stroke or an outer glow there. Try adding a render that matches also..
