Ok this is where I shall show you all the art I am making on photoshop. I have just the past few days gotten into it properly, before that I could do some ok stuff, but nothing exactly wow-some. Even though my old stuff took me a lot longer, the new stuff uses brushes and other stuff, which is easier to do, but looks a whole lot better and professional. Give me comments, don't mind if they're bad, they help me improve.
Latest Signatures
Oldest first, newest last.
The sig for this site. First one I made using brushes. Bit of an experiment rather than a proper effort.
Tried to add more effects in, probably should have blended the character in more like I did with the others. He's a bit of a nutter, hence the lightning.
Think this is probably my best one. For the same site as the previous and next image.
Blur and Gorillaz frontman. I think this is pretty cool, the bit under his name probably doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the image, but that "splat" is there because on the image his knee is there, and it cuts off on the picture, so I tried to cover it up with that paint like blob bit xD.
The sig I made for Sio for this site. He rushed me so its a 5min job, if I had more time I would have tried to add more effects to it, and cut that dragon out properly. I was in a rush so I ended up putting the dragon as the background, color changing it, so the background of the dragon went the same colour as the main image background to blend it in, if I had time I would have cut it out properly. That little shortcut stopped me adding some effects in that area, as it didn't quite look right when I tried to do it.
Previous Signatures (Old style)
Not in order of making.
The sig for this site before I learnt about brushes and experimented with a new sig. This is my typical old style of making a sig where I would google some kind of background i wanted, in this case open grasslands, then add effects to the background, add in the character image, put some font on, and perhaps have a plain border around it.
The sig I used for a character before I made a new one with the new effects (3rd image down in latest section). I like this one still, not as much as my new one of course.
This one is damn nice I think. Did this for Far From Eden, and I think it still looks pretty cool. If I remember right those clouds wern't clouds at first, I just played around for a few minutes with the different effects in photoshop and got those. The ghost like effect was an idea I got off someone else on a completely different site.
An image I have on my myspace lol. The character is Old Gregg off the Mighty Boosh, some surreal comedy show we have over here. He is a sea monster who likes oil paintings of the alcoholic beverage "Baileys", talks kind of like Clevland (sp) off Family Guy and has a "Mangina". More for a joke than any serious attempt at a good image xD.
Again showing my typical style, however without any background effects added on. I like this because of its simplicity and the fact it doesn't look that bad.
Just a Sun Ce signature, quite similar to the previous Xu Shu one.
Again showing that "ghosting" effect using less transparency on a copied and larger image in the background. This time its Dynasty Tactics 2 Lu Bu, looking at his best.
Another Xu Shu signature... man I didn't know I had been Xu Shu so many times O.O
Two sigs for your now from the same site. Legends of the Three Kingdoms I do believe where I was Sun Ce. Same image used as previous, but this one is a bit older, and both have some serious faults.
A pretty decent one of a Wolf Shapeshifter I made for... The Battle one of the Lyle's sites I think...
