Cartoon World Forums - View topic - Guimons Attempts
Well I've had a lot of time on my hands lately so I've decided to get into sig making and the like.
I'm using GIMP and I've made a few sigs so far.
I've been following a few tutorials and experimenting with different filters and brushes etc.
So how am I doing?
Any criticism is good as I'm learning and I wish to improve.

The Hitsugaya one seems pretty nice, but the text needs work and the lighting is pretty strong.
Try adding some C4D's on top as well.

I'll have a go at getting some C4Ds to work well.
Yeah I'm trying to improve my text as well.
Well I just made this one, any good?

Thanks Insnity99, I like the Gaara one but some more blending would of been good.
And i'll try and get the border colours right in future too.
I'm up fairly late tonight (its nearly 4) and I just put together this sig with Colonel Mustang.
Not to happy with it but I tried working with some C4Ds but I don't think it worked too well lol.
So any decent?

The flow your render and effects gives goes against the motion blur background you have there.
Try out new ways to make backgrounds.

Well I tried a different background with this one.
I used Lucy again as the render because the pink stands out so much.
Not to sure how I did on this one, played around a lot to get the it right.
Any good?

that looks great!
Good job Guimon, your really improving.
Try to work on text blending a bit more next time though
the background looks really nice.
And you used some blending.
KIU!

Thanks Insanity99.
Yeah i've worked on a few different backgrounds and blending.
I'm struggling with the text tough, I can never choose which one to use and where to put it.
Well i've tried a few more here, one of Soloman from Blood+ and I though i'd give a popout a try with a render of Renji.

The text doesn't need to be on the slant.
Try downloading new fonts and making the text it a bit smaller and a bit less noticeable.
The render is what you want people to look at, not your name.
Also work on having a definite light source and try not to make your backgrounds look chaotic and repetitive.
Sorry if that's a lot to work on lol.

Well I've been trying some new stuff and I ended up with this
Not sure about it though...

You're improving, nice job.
Background and effects are better than your past sigs, but I still say the font needs to be different, and it might look better if you moved it by his right shoulder.
Also, his hands are a bit hard to see.

Thanks Digital Rain.
Yeah I'm never sure what to do with my text.
I tried something different with this sig.
|
|

The pen tool lines, assuming that's what they are, take away from this sig.
They go against the flow your background makes with those diagonal lines.
Effects are pretty cool, though.

I was playing around with this one with no idea what I was going to end up with.
