LightningRave Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I haven't touched Photoshop for several years and I decided it was time to start again.

Kuro no Keiyakushu Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 The grunge is pretty alright and the text is a nono. No. NO. Render seems LQ, but it goes witht he rest of the tag. Pretty good for someone who hasn't GFXed in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningRave Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Text and I never get a long. You already figured that out quite easily. Any idea on how to keep the eyes away from the text and keep them on Morrigan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Just take out the text entirely? But then, that would make the right side really empty. You should fade the render a bit more. It just feels like a copy & paste onto a background. Make it feel like it's part of the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningRave Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 okay I will post up the results in a few. ThanksI just keep the text there so no one will try to steal it. I know it is rare but it happened to me before :( Here is another result: not a big difference I feathered a few places. Man I feel so out of touch with Photoshop now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is rare but it happened to me before :( Here is another result: not a big difference If you need help just PM me. Text is too different from everything else so it distracts from the focal. Maybe put the text on Value instead of Normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningRave Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 What about this? The text is somewhat hidden and you really have to look for it to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuro no Keiyakushu Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 :/ I guess I will stick with the one I have in my sig already then. Or just remove the text completely. Not to be rude but I am not interested in making the text look nice. The interest was in Morrigan. Might look a little better if you decreased the canvas size with no text or put something interesting on the right of the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningRave Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I am liking this one a lot. Thoughts? Edit: I just signed on to another computer and it seems that the picture is too dark. I wonder if anyone else had this happen. One computer it was bright and on another it was too dark.. I will input a brighter version when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningRave Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Weird because on this computer it is too dark, i cannot see the right side. On my laptop I see it sort of dark but able to see everything nice. I will make alternate brightness levels when I get home. The scan lines I did in Photoshop. 3x3 square with transparent background, zoomed in to max, then made a diagnal line with the pencil tool. Then I went to Edit/Image (forgot which one)>Define Pattern. After that I just made a new layer on top of the sig, painted it white, then went to blending options, changed the layer to overlay, then clicked the pattern overlay. I chose the newly made diagnal scan lines. Done, I darkened it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningRave Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Copypasta?I didn't spend time to make it good because it is only a joke signature.The stock is not blended for that reason and as you can see the stock is choppy also. I tried to make it look corny as possibly without putting too much detail. The idea came from this comment (from a different forum)Hmm... Impo - no popouts. They just look corny.

LightningRave Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Updated (first post also):I felt that blending the Turtles would ruin it. Not to mention I was feeling lazy and wanted to try out new effects (clipping masks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
