I'm not that good, but I've been trying to get better recently, some of my latest stuff.

banner for a friend's site:




Siggies for myself:







(this one I am really unhappy with, but I was a little drunk and I needed it for a site I do go to, so it's adequate)





For my very latest, check in my signature.

I do more frequently, those are just my latest. Will update with new posts when I make more. As you may have noticed, text is not my forte, if anyone has helpful suggestions for how to do text better I'd appreciate it.

Those are nice, my favorite one is the sniper

[ChrisTW]

Thanks...to be honest that one is actually my least favorite...ideally I do everything completely on my own, minus renders of course, but the sniper stock I used was done by another person (only the sniper and the part to the left) and my attempts to separate the sniper itself from the effects to the left failed quite miserably, so I went ahead and used it. I think it looks good but I can't claim credit for all of the effects so meh.

I'M SO SUPER EXCITED AND HAPPY TO HAVE A NEW GFX MEMBER!

[ChrisTW]

Well I've seen the work of some people on the team; don't know if I belong up there with them. But I'll take that as a compliment, so thanks.

I think he just means a member that's into graphics.

Nick is all lonely in the GFX Section. Along with sarah and Jenna =/

[ChrisTW]

Ah, alright. Makes sense. Yeah these days it seems, not many gfx people active on any forums.

BTW I like you're stuff, it seems a little less cookie cutter than most people's designs.

Certainly it could use some refining and such, but there are plenty of tutorials and members (well... mainly tutorials) that'll be willing to help.


If you have any questions, feel free to PM me, I can get my way around Photoshop, Illustrator, Bryce, C4D and 3DSM pretty well.

Thanks. Yeah I know I need improvement, I haven't been designing for that long though so yeah. And what I could really use help on is text...sometimes my text is good (rarely), usually it's not.

In all honesty, text is just something that develops over time. Very rarely do I see people that are absolutely amazing at text, and usually when I see these people, it's because they've literally mastered the program they're using and know how to create EXACTLY what they want. You don't need text to finish a signature, though it is important, don't stress it too much, focus on merging the other details together.
