Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2008

Are there any good tutorials I could use to make a decent sig and put it up for the contest?

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2008

There are tonnes of tutorials out there that you can use.

For really basic stuff, you can try my tutorial here:

This is another basic sig tutorial.

For really detailed one, try these:
http://bendonx.deviantart.com/art/Kura-Kura-Sig-Tutorial-Part-1-90495675
It even comes in 3 parts. Follow them till the end. I find that tutorial to be very very comprehensive.

This one works too but it assumes a lot of things from the reader, so if you are looking for easy to read kind of stuff, probably not.

Remember that for sigs, you will always come across words like c4d render, render, stock, gradient, scattering, color balance, and brush.

Try and learn the meaning behind those words. Some are pretty self explanatory too.

Thanks, maybe I'll be able to enter the next contest after I get the tutorials through my head.

Definitely. Do ask any questions you might have. A lot of people here can answer them for you.

All right. I'm going to post my own entry here too just to tell you that it is do-able.

Movie - Jack Bauer - Leen



All renders taken from Planetrenders

Extra comment: 24 is not exactly a movie, but it sort of counts since it's a TV series and it involves actors and actresses. Also, Kiefer Sutherland acted in various other movies too. So it counts. ^.^

The quality distorts with the photoplog, so you might want to view the original one.

Can U link me to some places where I can get the transparents for the stocks(if there are any), or do I have to cut them out manually.

Some of the techniques I use are learned from that tutorial, don't know if it'll help.

For renders(transparencies/stocks/whatever), you can either find them on the net or cut them out yourself. Typically I use the Pen tool to do mine.


Photoplog doesn't seem to distort my quality though. I use the large thumbnail one and it looks the same as the original to me.

Where on the net exactly, some (better in your view)links would surely be helpful.
I'm checking out the planetrenders site now.

Obviously, if you are looking for a specific website to go to, I'll recommend deviantart. Other than that, if you are looking for a more general tutorial on photoshop, I will recommend www.good-tutorials.com They are REALLY good.

Thanks a lot guys,

Well, I'll stop bugging u for now, until I face some problems.
And be assured, it will be pretty soon

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2008

Yep, generally I use deviantart for stocks and tutorials.

Nice Hancock Sig Real Monkey !!

Thank you. My first Try on this Contest. Maybe i score high

I hadnt to think much about which film i choose. I think a new one is better than a old movie for the contest.

//edit:
ey, now that the coloring contest are down, i hope the sig contest will still be here. Please xD

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2008

Sig contest is going to be here! Don't worry about it. Just work on practising. The future themes might be hard(er) for you. And I really like to see people participating. It's fun!

Just made a new set of avy/sig combo for myself. I'm still not good enough a sig maker. Grrr... I need more practices myself.

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2008

ok. New theme: female

The title itself should be very self-explanatory. So dig in.

My "entry" or sample entry is this:

Female - Sayuri - by Leen

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2008

I like this theme! There's a sig I've been wanting to make but I didn't really have any incentive to do it but now I do.
