Well I haven't posted nothing in a couple of days, but I have been lurking around the union. :P And saw some tutorials that snowmanu360 posted. And I tried my hand at them. Even though with the second sig, I started to use one and I got stuck on some steps and then decided to do what I had done in the last tutorial to finish it. But enough of the talking...I need feed back, :P I have the xcf files of both of theses so...I can always go back and fix them again. So let me have it. :P

EDIT: Alright I went back and pretty much re did the whole entire thing, :| :P Now let's see if I got anything closer to been better..or have I really missed this one again....:? :|

V2: No Sharpening, no Gradient Maps, just smudging and some more brushes, and of course different color background and I made the render bigger and moved it to the middle.

V3: I did Graident Maps at the end:

V4: Black and White

I hate you. j/k :P Seriously now, why you did this to Altair? The colors are totally off and the left side is LQ. Big text in this font AND on the bottom doesn't works imo. Also the BG lacks of contrast and the render is overcontrasted :P  Try to keep a balance between the render and the BG.

 The second needs some more blending and it's ready to go.

:lol: So green doesn't work with Altair...ok then...should I have went with like a light blue instead? :? As for the over contrasted the tutorial said to sharpen it on normal settings...I guess I should have skipped that part. Should I maybe have moved the render to the middle instead of at the end? I did think that maybe I could have made him bigger. :? As for the second one...blending....so do mean like more smudging?

oh! the text...

the bunny girl one, text is hard to read.

I did that on purpose...if I put it anywhere else it would have been in the corner and people tell me that is bad. :|

Like I said I have the xcf files I can go back and change up these sigs with any kind of tip you give me.

First, overcontraste =/= Oversharpened :P

Second, I'd remove the text on both. Yes a blue tone would work with Altair, or a brown, careful when setting space stocks in, or whatever you used, the ones you used are LQ, made the whole sig end up that way unfortunatly.

The girl one needs the render to blend more, smaller focal, more Foreground effects and needs flow

you have to place it where you placed, but make sure it's clearly readable.

What gradients are you using? :? Looks like you pick random ones, try using gradients that compliment the colours.

The centered render doesn't really work in the new Altair one, you could crop the right side of the sig... And I think the BW version looks better, mostly cuz the colors in the other one are a bit random.

I use, Black/White, Purple/Orange, Cold Steel, Dark Blue, and White/Black. So yeah I do random ones, but I have always liked what the Purple/Orange give me.

I thought that the black and white one looked better just because you can't see all my colors.

When you mean messy..do you mean like I got to much going on in the background itself?? I am really trying to figure out what you guys are trying to tell me..:( but yet it is not sinking into my brain.

there are too many effects at random directions. try to create a simple flow with a specific number of effects which are more clear. Like you can say for example: "I can see this pentooling going that way, there is a c4d which is on the left, a splatter brush there.... etc"
