Cool Sigs....

CS2

 

Not good but hey it was my first try. I just used actual pics since I still can't figure out how to cut and paste just the parts that I want to use.

 

^^^^^thats better than good for a 1st try!

Keep practicing.

 

Thanks man, I tried to describe how I actually wanted it here:

I wish I had more time to do some.

Spider, who is that in your first attempt?

Not that you are allowed to remove the dushku one.....

 

Keri Russell, I'm just using the idea of a sig to work on my photoshop skills. I won't be changing mine.

 

Excellent work!

toolz that Punisher one is badass

 

backgrounds, anyone?

stumbled upon these panoramic pics by Samuel Bitton (Switzerland)
almost sig-size (~600x225).











thought you may have some use for them. or maybe i just wanted to post them

 

Maybe this will help you a bit Spidey......


This image was resized to my liking.



Then I formatted it to fit my size.



Filled it with color.



Used all my brushes to make a design.

Then added the font.


I cant really teach anyone here how to use the brushes. Most of the ones that I do have, were custom installed.
The hard part is learning how to blend color. The only way to learn that is through trial and error.
I very rarely ever use any cutting tool. I always insert the pic, and then brush it and blend it.
Sigs with cut images dont look too smooth enough for me. But thats just a opinion. Do what is better for you.
I hope this helps a little.

 

Awesome job as always Toolz, that Punisher one kicks ass!

 

Use the pen tool, it's easy and accurate, you can even cut a single pixel. Once you made the path, copy it into new layer (Ctrl J). Drag it into any pic you want. Merge the layers and use the blur tool to soften the lines if you want. Online tutorial:http://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/pen-tool-selections/

I also work with layer-masks. Online tutorial:http://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/layers/layer-masks/

You can also use blending options like darken, lighten, overlay, vivid light etc...
Just look at http://www.photoshopessentials.com they have easy to understand tutorials about everything.

 

That is some absolutely breath-taking views!! Awsome pics!

 

Thanks guys for the help, I'll try it out tonight.

 

My latest. --------->>>>>>>>>

Thanks to Toolz & TCF for the information on photoshop.

 

wow, this one is gooood !

 

Took another shot. I might make some changes later on.

 

Thats a cool sig. Using the gimp? I have those dragon brushes too

See post # 351 on this thread.

 

This one is made just using blending options and brushing with black and/or white to reveal more of underlaying layers.



If you want to take a closer look, here's the original work version 1350x450.




See p4 is catching up nice, great work.
