Newbie Sig Maker Paranoia :O

I'm new at this, but I've already done a few.
I'm creating this thread for some advice (I expect none, but I need some ;P)

The quality goes from absolutely awful to mediocre
(at least by my low standards)
From oldest to my current sig:

Spoiler

^ I thought I would do far worse for my first, but yes, this is awful.



^ I'm ashamed of this one. Greatly.



^ This is a remake of my first failed sig....It also failed.
I might attempt a third time XD


^ This is meh though I do like the background.


^ I actually like this one. It's slightly generic, but ah well. And Naota's odd outlines were purposeful :S

^ I like this, even though it didn't blend well, and was also slightly unfitted ;P


^ Woo, my first holiday sig.

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

Those are pretty nice, good blending and colors. I would fade around the edges though.

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

That might be a good idea with the second Malice sig; though I prefer borders ;P
(And I failed at the borders >_>)

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

Well, other then that, good job. Try to expand your range htough, all your sigs are kindof pinkish/darker. Try going into different colors and theme for practice.(I.E. do a tank siggy, or one with megaman)

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

Agreed. Though my first attempt at a lighthearted sig failed (my worst sig, the second), I actually like bright colors.

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

Dude! Your standards are way beyond me, your sigs are way better than mine. I like most of them and I could tell you were going for that cartoony theme.

Anyways if you were to expand a little bit you could at least make the backgrounds more abstract and make them blend into the characters a bit. Other than that nice layouts.

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

That's my issue :S
Making natural looking backgrounds that blend (like your sig)
I can't seem to do that XD

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

Make me one please.

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

Well what exactly do you use for your sigs, is it GIMP, photoshop, and/or something else? I use only GIMP for my stuff, but I am also a newby at making sigs, so I cannot make anything close to what you have.

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

Uh, I'm new at this, sure you don't want someone who hasn't just got Photoshop? XD

If you're sure, I'll need a render/cutout.
And details of what you want, etc.

Photoshop. I love it :3
And I disagree, your sig is pretty nice (except the text. Not that my text is special either)

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here


MS Painter here!
But i do use Photoshop sometimes.
It's complicated.

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

MS paint is the skillz

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

Going to use Paint.NET now.
Because it has some effects i can use.

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

Hi. They look very good for a first timer. If you want I could share some psds so you can get a few ideas.

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

Any good picture of toon link with ny name and a good motto or something. Put ur name as well.
Thanks parra

Also if you have a link to how to make sig since I can use photoshop quite good.

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

That would be helpful, thank you~

That's not specific at all XD
With such vague instructions, I'm worried the sig will be completely off-base with what you want....
And I don't have any particular tutorials yet. Doing basic crap now, to get used to it.
(I've had Photoshop for 2 days only....)

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

Parra, do you remember me when I was marill.

If I provided you with a picture you can go crazy with the text and style.

 

Re: Newbie Sig Maker Here

? So you changed your username? Heya Marill.

And I guess, but I'm off soon. Just PM me the picture or post it here.

 

Hey! Paranoia! I was just wondering if you got any new things finished, keep it up.

 

wow bump

hey Para, why don't you participate in the SOTW?
