Good starting work mate, easily rivals anything I can spew out of photoshop. It's great for someone who's inexperienced as you say you are.

Although just a few tips, get a good font, that one looks awful, I suggest taking a trip to www.dafont.com, www.1001freefonts.com and etc, although people find text the worst part of the sig when making, sometimes it's just a good idea to leave it out.

Strokes are usually a good idea aswell, CTRL+A > edit > stroke. Play around a bit, try using stuff like overlay etc, usually a good stroke puts the icing on the cake.

You're already better at blending renders then me, I complety forgot how to do it :blink:, ahh well practice makes perfect.

I would suggest playing around with different brushes, blending and layers, that's usually key to making a sig, and again it's all practice, the more time you spend, the better something usually is. Infact I might make one again since you got me all riled up hehe.

Anyways, it's a good peice for some starting work

will work on this one a bit more, thx for comments. Blending renders??? I took 2 images and overlaid them. Did filter the bottom layer a couple of times, no renders tho...

if someone could lnk where to get splatter brushes and what a c4d is it would be appreciated since the tutes keep mentioning them...

I made my usual mistake of only saving that as a jpg... So I have lost how i did it.

This is version 2 after Frizzles comments

The changes you made looks good, just keep practising you will get better

I swear I thought this was myspace when I read the topic title.

I like the version in your sig with the diagnol scanlines alot better.

Happy Kitsune. I'm amazed by the off-topicness other people can have but mine is pointed out.
