Soooo, I created a sig that would fit in with the Transformers theme. Again, I'm no picasso, but it keeps me from screwing up my real work !!

Thanks again for the great response ! So now I'm Scleameth, but I rather liked the old maniac sig so I'll post it here.

Now I just need to work on my avy... I did some work with an animated gif, but realized that 'less is more' so the drawing board is on stand by for the moment... /ninja

 

@inteligence : how do I apply changes using the 'quick edit' option ?

I did some work with Rise of Legends screens and concept art... I know the animated sig is a bit big and appologize, but I just could not make it any smaller.

Wow Scleameth! You've been busy! /lol

 

I really like the first one with the spikes coming off the top of the sig. That's cooool. The one you have on now has a very distinct style to it. Kinda grunge I think. You might really enjoy some the grunge style tutorials out on the net. Try googling "photoshop, grunge tutorial". There are hundereds and hundereds of them!

 

It looks like you may have put some layers on a difference setting. Did I guess right? :D

I really miss your motto though. :) It's one of the coolest original phrases I've read. "Attempt not or Accomplish". Maybe you could make it more visible?

 

Oh and by the way. I love what you are doing with your AVs. This latest one of yours in particular. The colours in it seem very well balanced and the oval looks great!

Try this out on your AV. Not sure if this will have a positive effect on your AV or not but...

 

Open your AV in photoshop and try increasing the saturation of it. To do this go to the menu up top and click:

 

Image-->Adjustments-->Saturation/Hue

 

Now you have a little window with sliders that go left and right. You should have 3 if I'm remembering correctly. Hue then saturation then brightness. Play around with all of them but I'm thinking all you'll need to do is drag saturation about 40 points to the right.

 

Oh and try playing with colour balance as well. I've had great success with that:

 

Image-->Adjustments-->Color Balance

There are 3 sliders and 3 areas of affect. Below the sliders are options to affect dark areas, mid areas and light areas.

 

Have fun and great work! /yay

Thanks for the advice Schot !

 

On the avy this was the origiinal : avy.gif

 

This is after some hue changes : avy2.gif

 

I'll hang on to the latter.... for now....

 

I didn't save the psd file of my sig, so I can't really make the motto more prominent. But I intended for people to focus a little on it with the current sig. I'll spend some real time sooner or later on a new sig and surely use your tips !

 

ps. I had googled and realized that I'm up for a bit of studying !

 

"It looks like you may have put some layers on a difference setting." :) Dunno, I just exploid all layers options and try not to mess the pic up to much... :)
