Toffee. Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I was lurking around the Duel Masters wiki, and came across this: [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100809121952/duelmasters/images/c/c9/Dmc55-11.jpg[/img] His name is "Banjo, the Super-energetic". ...... I felt like making him into a sig, using his original artwork as the main concept: [img]http://gametechmods.com/../uploads/images/57098BanjoSig.png[/img] [code]http://gametechmods.com/../uploads/images/57098BanjoSig.png[/code] V2: [img]http://gametechmods.com/../uploads/images/8315BanjoSig2.png[/img] [code]http://gametechmods.com/../uploads/images/8315BanjoSig2.png[/code] Not really sure what to make of it. I'll probably just sig it regardless, because I like how it turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azphreal Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 LOVES IT. The artwork, as said above, blends seamlessly. If you hadn't told us, I would think that the majority of it was scratched The render is nice and clean. It's a different style to what's normally seen here in Showcase, but it's nice. It's more like artwork than... I suppose, graphical explosions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Over in the Powerforce thread, someone mentioned the font was a little off. ....Personally, I was just picked Comic Sans because it seemed rather fitting for such a comical artwork. Either the text is just the wrong style, or its too big. [quote name='Darmanitan/Daruma Mode' timestamp='1307585174' post='5268426'] The artwork, as said above, blends seamlessly.[/quote] Well I did use a few clear-sky + grassy images I found, and blended them as is(with the exception of 1 of them, as I added a filter to it so the background would appear more flat, and not as realistic) [quote name='Darmanitan/Daruma Mode' timestamp='1307585174' post='5268426']If you hadn't told us, I would think that the majority of it was scratched [/quote] TBH, I was never really good at scratching things :/ [quote name='Darmanitan/Daruma Mode' timestamp='1307585174' post='5268426']It's a different style to what's normally seen here in Showcase, but it's nice.[/quote] Thanks. [quote name='Darmanitan/Daruma Mode' timestamp='1307585174' post='5268426']It's more like artwork than... I suppose, graphical explosions.[/quote] I was actually going for that sort of approach, where the signature is somewhat of an expansion of the card's existing artwork. Kinda' like the Seachlightman one in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss Z Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 It does create a double view point, but Banjo is a stronger point... and it still looks goodI feel like you could add that Bird thing in the background of the card's art over the words, or behind the words... or somewhat both... I feel like it could just add a little more, but thay is my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the font is terrible. Comic Sans should be shot. It's a disgusting font. The lighter bits of the background is distracting. Also, why are you always snooping around the DM wiki?

.Rai Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 Comic Sans is generally considered the bane of the typography business. Simply because its design is far too rounded and of an awkward design. Its feel is too childish and casual for any serious piece and just lowers the standards of things. I mean, there's a reason why there is a 'Ban Comic Sans' movement (search it up) and it's generally considered a joke (Google made every single search you'd search up on April Fool's Day in Comic Sans). Via the lighter bits, I mean the strange arrows in the background. Does nothing for the piece and just makes it look amateur (as well as stealing even more focus from the render). Armadilloz and I probably snoop round there randomly for research. It's actually a fun TCG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The text is in a slightly nicer position but you keep on stretching it awkwardly. The lines are slightly better now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
