Re: Signature's By Serenith!! [On HOLD Again!]
Sorries, I cant fuss with a top hat... I'm not that good. =P And I hope the poses are along the lines of what you wanted. If anything bothers you, let me know and I can try and fix it. I know its dark, but artistically that was what I was going for, it is in a dungeon after all... and I went with a screenshot from the Stockades.

Same here, I download all the fonts I use. And backgrounds, sometimes I'll use my own screenshots for those, but that doesn't really count.Serenith wrote:I'm not that good. I mean... most of the stuff I use is really designed by other people. You know... the backgrounds, fonts, patterns, obviously the WoW models... I just put it all together. Guess I don't see it as true talent compared to people who can do pixel art or computer graphics and such.
You seem to be able to do an amazing job though of making everything fit together and finding a perfect colour theme for each signature. Each one looks so different and unique, I'm totally stunned, I really am. And as said before a million times, you do seem to have a special talent in making spectral spirit beasts actually look good.

Re: Signature's By Serenith!! [On HOLD Again!]
I was never good at animated characters, I always draw more realistically when I do. I did well in life drawing, but I'm bad at anime (my BF is awesome at anime though).Qinni wrote:I'd rather hand draw all my names C: Then I don't have to worry about looking threw tons of fonts and never worry what people want, cause they'll always get it since I can draw it!
When it comes to the fonts, I like going through my long list of pretty fonts, then adding patterns too them or something. I have no clue if I would even be good at hand drawing them in a computer.

Re: Signature's By Serenith!! [On HOLD Again!]
I'm generally self taught in Photoshop. I originally got the program for my photography. And back then I only used a small amount of tools, burning/dodging/brightness/contrast/hue/and occasionally the clone tool. But now I am using a lot more than I even knew was possible, which is why I am loving making sigs! I had no idea just how much photoshop could do. Every now and then if I don't know how to do something I look it up, like advanced tutorials. But it doesn't take long for me to learn it. Eventually, I want to get a bit more advanced in what I can do... but for now its just fun.Kuraine wrote:Probably did. I've had no such classes in Photoshop what so ever, we use Photoshop a lot in college, but they never taught us how to us it. We had to figure out everything ourselves, and luckily me and my friends had already been using Photoshop a lot over the past years! But a lot of my inspiration for signatures at the moment comes from other signature makers here, and Sookie was the one who originally got me into it, since she was the first person on this site to ever make me my own signature.

And I'm also self taught in Photoshop. I'm far from an expert, but that's the fun part, since almost everytime I use it, I learn something new!

Re: Signature's By Serenith!! [On HOLD Again!]
Its 100x100 pixels but at the same time its not.... Same I technique use for the siggys:Kuraine wrote:Question about your avatars though. How do you get the pets to 'pop out' of the sides of the avatar and yet still keep it 100x100 pixels? It's hard to explain what I mean... But take this one of yours, for example. You have Arcturis there poking his head out slightly and Neverforever's hair at the top also pokes out. And also the rounded corners... How do you manage to make them like that and yet keep it easily at 100x100? That's something I've been pondering over for a while now, and I'd like to do something different with avatars too rather than my usually fitting it all inside a 100x100 box, if you know what I mean.
1. I have the first layer as a transparent background. Nothin', nada, zip goes here.
2. Next layer is the background, or the one you visibly see. And this one is probably 98x98 in size. (I'm not 100% sure since sometimes it may be off... but the idea is to have the edge not be exactly 100x100. This way...
3. The objects involved, in this case the bear/neverforever, can overlap the other two layers and even "pop" out of the box. Just the same way I do siggys, but I have more room with sigs and only 100x100 for avatars. I work big then resize. Oh well. Lol
...blah had to edit an extra word! Hehe...not a black transparent. that makes not sense. I need sleep =P
