My new signature picture
 
I was suprised that i only spent an hour making this whole banner. The only things i didn't make from scratch was the Slig, Font and the Mudokon Skull symbol but I had modified them all to what I have here. But the rest like the Grunge Background and the Blood i made entirely from scratch :)
Hope you enjoy it! :D

That's not bad I like it, but I will criticise. The edges of the slig (although it's good for what may be a beginner) show off that he was from a different image - you may wanna try redoing the cropping, maybe use a rubber tool that works good for me. Also if you give the slig a tiny little bit of transparency it makes it fit the background better. And one last thing - the covering of the text is good but it's making it hard to read as it appears small in your signature.
I'm not trying to insult you, just giving ideas for potential improvement.

1st reply yay!

I actually like it. I'm taking a photoshop class right now, so i'm starting to really appriciate computer images like this. Yeah, the slig does look like it was cropped a little badly, but when you shrink it down to the size of your sig banner, you can't even tell. I really like the blood and the background, and adding the skull in there was a nice touch. ;)
You also did a good job of changing the slig's color. I mean, changing the color of something isn't really that hard when you learn to do it, but compared to some other coloring jobs i've seen, the slig really rocks. Kudos. 8D

There are classes? Too stupid to figure it out for yourself and be creative?

No. Just don't do that.

Somebody sure is being pissy for no reason. I don't own photoshop. My school does. Therefore, to get to photoshop, I needed to take a class.

Chill.

I didnt meen to seem pissy - I just find myself naturaly insultive. It's difficult for me to be otherwise without giving crude compliments, something difficult over a forum since I can't see you to compliment you. Although I'm sure you look lovely Moosh.

Stay on topic, guys...

Love the banner by the way; it looks quite amazing in your sig! But the text is a little hard to read (not that it matters a whole lot).

BlackVenom 09-26-2008 08:42 PM

well thanks, it was rushed pretty badly and was experimental so later on i'd make a much better one when i get the time! :)

Work seems to interfere with my life too often so I don't get too much time...

yeah, i tought myself how to do blood effects when messing around with blending options in photoshop. Now i make all sorts of things with these features that i discovered. And i did pretty much the same with the Font as I had done with the blood. just used a layer mask so it looks more blended and damaged as if it were part of the wall too.
