Hey,

just practicing some signature background with brushes and stuff.

I thought I'd post them up for people to check out. I don't mind if anyone wants to use them and edit them.

Also, feedback is more than welcome

They are not all that good as I am still kinda new to making sigs.

wow, these are actually really really nice, mind sharing tutorials / resources?

as well, how'd you get the stippled effect on sig three? was it just a pattern set on overlay / soft light? it looks really nice with what you've done c:

Hey mate,

thanks I'm glad you like them. I didn't use any tutorials to create these just playing around with colours and brushes using different blending modes. I downloaded the big brush pack in the gfx resources section and some random ones from different brush sites.

um sig 3, for that I used brushes, that stippled effect was a fluke lol it came from the brush I think.

oh really? you've got natural talent, i've been trying to work with c4ds for so long and still can't make them look just right o:
i look forward to seeing more of your work !

[IcedEarth]

mate that sig you did that won the music sotw was amazing. Are you using cinema 4d to make your own renders?
Also what did you use to create those lines in the background of that sig?

They are really nice, grats. If you ever want to practise a darigan themed sig, i wouldn't stop you, and carry it as my sig proudly

They look pretty nice, though a bit over sharpened for my tastes. You're off to a great start. I would definitely try and experiment using some stock images, as well as stepping out of your "box" that you've created; they all seem to have the really nicely blended/technical look from the textures. I'd try playing around with styles a bit, cos you might be surprised!

lol if I do, I will keep you in mind my friend

to sarcastiiclove,

thanks for the crits! I will try that. I was only experimenting with background but will def try out some stocks! +rep

These are nice backgrounds... but there isn't anything in them.
None of them has a distinct focal point, and there really isn't anything to look at.

Try adding some subject in your tag, like a render or text.

[IcedEarth]

Thanks mate, I was just trying out backgrounds to then later add renders and effects.
