Oh well, I just started getting into this, and I thought I might share my stuff... Mind you, I just started this, so don't expect anything great...

First off...



The next one should be a huge leap...













Shockwave logo render.

I'm going to give you a 10/10 on render choice , but a solid 7/10 for the overall sig.

I'll give you the reason(s) why.

I realize that this is your first sig, and while not bad, it does need a little work. I honestly have no idea what's supposed to be on the sides, but if you're going to add a border, try making it the whole way around the render. You may also want to chose a color that matches those colors in the sig itself rather than the grey you have chose. There are rare cases where you can get away with that, but this isn't one of those times. Secondly the font, while not a bad choice in and of itself, you could do better with the location and also the size of the text. Red was a good color, but because of the render and the placement, parts of the text are hard to read.

I don't know what program you used, but if you used Photoshop, experiment with different brushes. Save a copy, so that if you mess up, you can always start over. As you do more, I'm sure you'll get better. You started off good, but you're bound to get better.


My best,

Thanks for your opinion. I used gimp though. And, I'm working on another one right now, so expect an update.

[Lord Atlantis]

Ah. Another GIMP person. Well, get tones of brushes. They really help.

Remember what I said about the next one being a huge leap?

Well...

T'is indeed a big leap. I like it. The render crossing the border is cool too.

7/10 as I don't feel it is crisp enough.

[SonicBoom]

Updated boarder...

[Sgt. Nuker]

You weren't kidding. Your current sig is light-years ahead of your first one. The background could go a bit better with the chosen render (as far as what it is), but everything else looks cherry. Bonus points once again for the chosen render.

8.5/10

You need to blend the renders more . No other criticism though, you're good.

[SonicBoom]

Thanks for the comments. And what do you mean by blend the renders?

[Sgt. Nuker]

I think he means make the render look more a part of the background instead of looking so detached.

I like the second the most I give it 8.1/10 nice render choosing and great BG

[Warbz]

i like the second the most.
also the render is the main image within the sig.
...i think

A different font might be better, but the sig itself doesn't suffer. I like the space theme, but use caution when adding stars. Too many makes for too much noise, and that can detract from the sig.

8/10

[SonicBoom]

Hmm... I guess I could start taking requests now. So if you yearn for sigs made by by people with little experience, ask me!

[SonicBoom]

Here is something I made for someone on another forum. It's not that great, but ehh.

[Warbz]

can u have a go at making me one with the beserker mlrs from the shockwave mod, i will try and find a pic for ya, i want it to look rustic and battered (overall apperance), i just wanna see ur style, and if i like it i will use it.
thx alot.

[Futschki]

ure testing him ?

[SonicBoom]

Sorry haven't been making stuff lately. I've been bogged down with school and stuff. I don't know when I can start again, but it should be soon.

[Sgt. Nuker]

Try not to let your list of requests get too long. If you decide not to make sigs anymore, finish your last request before you stop. However, if this is not the case, get back to us when you can mate.


Regards,

Nuker

[Warbz]

actually do one with that please.
when ur ready of course

[Lord Atlantis]

Meh, that should be an easy crop. But I am somewhat interested with what Sonic does with this.

[Warbz]
