been a while

finally had an idea for a new design, so i might as well post it here. BTW nice redesign.

V1

i thought it felt kinda simple, and so did some other people, so i went and improved the BG a little (i think)

V2

V3 - just spinned the blue layers... getting the right angle is more annoying than it looks.

V4 - as requested by jason, darker edges. redid the render too.

RULE #1: Never, never, and I mean NEVER place the text on the corners.

RULE #2: Never, never, and I mean NEVER make the text the opposite color from the rest of the sig. 

RULE #3: Never, never, and I mean NEVER leave your sig without lighting.

yes i'm aware of the text rules, i know them well, but that's the price to pay for deciding to mime the font from the original game

i tried making it smaller,but it wouldn't give the same effect, and putting it anywhere else would be even worse. as for the contrast... *points at boxart again* i know multiple focals is usually a no-no, but i tried to keep them both as close as possible without looking bad.

as for the lighting, i'm not sure there's really a place for it other than the render itself :P i'll see if i can light the borders and keep the center darkened, to give a "spin attack" look. and i'll use the whirl filter too... unless it doesn't look good.

it's a standard gimp brush, i was surprised to find it by accident, and spamming it gave it a nice look, so i thought "why not" :P

Lacks depth and Lighting.

And the render looks iffy.

how iffy, exactly, so i know if it's my fault or nintendo's fault?

original render:

i just made it sharper (on purpose) and more contrasted.

wtf moment #1 - tekken 6 already? O_o *stops and thinks* oh yeah, now that you mention it...

wtf moment 2 - it shows link from skyward sword to me :|

V3 is up

lol :lol:

@Duder: no need to be sarcastic right now :P This is one of the main problems that PR has. You send a link to someone and appears something totaly different. But, yh, Bruno, this is your fault. The render is kinda LQ from its own but sharpening it made it worse, much worse.

btw, V3 looks more interesting than the other 2. The next step is to add some more effects and make it darker in the edges.

it's not really LQ (the render), nintendo made it like that. the stock is that image on a black BG

i was actually trying the exact opposite, darker inside, brighter outside. for some reason i didn't finish it after the swirls :|

You did an awesome job transforming that Anna (Tekken 6) render into a Link renderDudersaper

Haha..nice one:)

about the sig..i like the lasts ones not the first one coz its too emty..but for the last ones the text is bad tough..
