My First Tutorial (Raven Signature)

this is how to make a simple signature(I Used Photoshop CS3 btw. You can use CS2 too, but it doesnt have the lighter color blending mode I used here) using only the defaults in Photoshop. This is my first tutorial so it probably wont help much.



here is the render used: http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/3715/ralb6.jpg

All C4Ds were found on Planet Renders. I cant provide links to them cause I am too lazy to rehunt for them. Here is the PSD for the Raven sig:

Ooo nice! I would reccomend you give us a source file or links on where to get the renders and CD4s.

 

there, I added them. I only started recently making source files because my old computer had low hard drive space. so many of ym older sigs don't have them because I lacked the space

 

Much Better. I would try it out myself but i use GIMP :/

 

@acrone
Just try and be creative...use all your resources...

It's pretty hard to have an original idea in this world of today anyway...

@tutorial

that's a good one..

 

well if you can, find it only. there are portable versions you can use. I got mine free thanks to my college striking a deal with Adobe XD

 

Isn't it much better to use CS4...(the portable CS4 is stripped of its 3D capabilities, it's just like CS3)

EDIT: Using extended here...

 

really, I tried CS4, but there are only minor changes in the format of the program. only in the extended versions to you see the differences

 

I have Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. I just find it easyer to use GIMP.

 

Good tutorial. It might be a bit hard for people new to Photoshop to follow but it's great.

 

Very Cool tutorial... But the Render was Saved as JPEG so the Render Transparency isn't there.... Please Get us Correct one

 

Edit it and save it as PNG...

 

that WAS the one I used. I cut it out myself and used it so there really isnt a cut out one that I know of. but for this render all that needs to be done is use the magic wand on the white area
