New sig

Postby Ultrablaze6 » March 6th, 2010, 7:04 pm

This one took awhile. First I had to find a fairly cool picture of a pheonix, when I found one it wasn't the colour I wanted it to be, so I had to change its colour. Then I used one of my older signatures so I could get the size right, I then coloured over it to make the background of the sig. Then I had to carefully cut around the picture of the pheonix, copy it and then paste it on to the background, I didn't want the WHOLE pheonix on the sig so it came out nicely. Then i drew a glow around the pheonix to give it that extra crimson fire effect. After that I had to write out the text and give it a fire effect, to do this I had to write it first in orange, and then red and place them on top of each other and then surround the text in a yellow glowing aura, and finally stick that all together into one signature. I think it came out nicely. It wasn't really that hard to be honest.

EDIT: Now I need to make the whole thing AGAIN because SOMEBODY noticed I spelt Phoenix wrong :angry:

Nice changing of color~ I think you have a lot of creativity and expression in this piece; you show it by emphasizing your idea of creating a sort of "glow" for the pheonix to shine and stand out.

Some things to consider for next time:

- Be careful not to use too much "glow" effect to the point where it just looks like it's a flat glow behind items; for example, the text looks like it's just on top of a blotch of yellow. The purpose of a tracing glow is to emphsize the words in place, so an outline around the words helps to do this; otherwise, it's just a slab of yellow and text on top

- Be careful choosing "glowy" colors. I notice that there is a slight similarity between the glow of the pheonix and the pheonix itself; try to use a different color so that it can really stand out, and play with contrasts and darks/lights to really differentiate the glow and the actual "character" glowing

- Try to use anti-aliasing when cleaning up the object. You did an awesome job, but there are areas where there is a "white" outline. It's very slight, but still there, and deters from the overall presentation of the piece

Keep up the good work though; you definitely have the "artistic" mind behind the signature to take you places, which is something which cannot be improved upon necessarily by practice, but moreso a gift :] .. Learning some technicalities with each piece, I have no doubt you will improve and I look forward to seeing more work from you~
