All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2011

[Farfalla]

You did^^ We almost repeated "same render" theme, haha xD

 

[Shinsatsu]

Congratulations Farfy ! !
It was an awesome sig indeed ^^

 

[DeBaron8]

Congrats on the win Farfalla!!! ​

 

[kakashi919]

Congrats Farf! ​

Finally got time to make something for the Tree theme. It's not that great,but my other ideas weren't looking how I wanted them to look.

 

[Shinsatsu]

I made another signature for this theme :

Berserk characters ftw ...

Xará, parabéens \o\~~~
Chibi ookami... It makes me want to hug it so much *-*

@Shin - I love the style of your last few sigs! I'm a big fan of wide and short siggys. The two last Berserk ones are just beautiful. I think they are perhaps your best work to date. Would you mind sharing a .psd of one?

Thanks DeBaron
I'm really sorry, I haven't kept any PSD copy of the last 10 sigs or so... So I can't provide you with one right now. But, I'm going to continue making signatures with similar style and size and I'll send you a PSD (which will be similar to the other ones).

 

[~Coffee~]

I, on the other hand, keep PSDs of all my work, lol

 

[kakashi919]

I usually keep the psd...but it's like from the beginning,before I make any real changes

 

[DeBaron8]

Yeah, I keep all mine and have multiple versions too, it's not so bad with the sigs, but it takes up a lot of HD space with my colorings. I really need to clean that mess up sometime.

Here's a new siggy I made. I tried some different techniques this time as I need to improve, my last few attempts were kinda pitiful. What do you think?

 

[Gintara]

(Ah my first post in this thread)

I say try a different font. It doesn't really match the rest of the sig imo. But it looks good. As for some font recommendations, use like a sans serif font (like Arial) and play around with spacing and stuff if you can. You can get different variations like that. ^^

Save as PNG, quit photoshop --> do you want to save the PSD? no... HOLY s*** I forgot to save the psd again!

Well this became a habit.

 

[DeBaron8]

@ Gintara - Welcome to the Sig thread! Thanks for the feedback, I'm always terrible with fonts in my sigs. Is this an improvement?

@Shin- No worries.

 

[Gintara]

Thanks! And yeah, it's much better! ^^

I'm thinking of joining the current contest once I know what I'll be doing. It's been so long since participating in a sig contest.

Well this became a habit.

I always click CTRL S first and hit enter, which saves the psd.

 

[Zeltrax]

I never really go back to the psd that I saved tho..

 

[Shinsatsu]

Neither do I. They are meant for other people most of the time. But you need the psd to modify things without damaging the rest of the signature... But I don't do that either xD

 

[DeBaron8]

Heh, I wish I was that confident. I always need to rethink and change things in my sigs. I may not use the .psd way in the future, but it's good to have while working still on the sig.

Here's another new sig I made:

Spoiler

 

[~Coffee~]

Nice Render and nice flow to add to it and the left side is wonderful~ even the text is pretty good, the right side (in my opinion) has slightly too much green~

I had the same issue with this sig =

green, by theory, goes with the color Red, but adding dark red and dark green just felt like Puke, so I switched over to a TINNNNY bit of green and it works a lot better~
