Some work of mine...opinions, requests: here & only here! :P

Some people knew I started making sigs this year, and was looking to improve myself. I have asked opinions/tips from sigmakers, to improve my work. I'm still a newbie in sigmaking, well, that's obvious anyway lol!! You might wonder now what I can create...

So here I go showing some of my work, looking for opinions (not bashing though ok? XD), and if you like my work, request a sig or you can buy premades (will make more with time). Hope my work can satisfy some of your lot! :D

Already made sigs:

Can replace with your name. :D

More to come, of course. :)

I`d suggest to follow some tutorials... for example here is something that could help you learn the basics of PS: http://www.sigtutorials.com/
It is the first result of the google search, but i think that that site has everything that you need when starting using photoshop on making sigs, from how to use c4ds and renders to brushing and animations.
There are of course, lots of sites and lots of artists... for example i learned many thingsfrom Corey Barker`s tutorials....

I can see how you made those sigs from your mind using your creativity... but if you just started using photoshop, well lets just say that some things don`t fit in.

For example:
- choose a tut; see if in that tut, the poster makes use of c4ds and what type of c4ds, then search for some that would fit in your sig
- choose a render
- follow the tutorial... not necesarily step by step...
- use your creativity
- in the end, even if the sig resulted is totally different, if it looks good and you mastered the techniques, then it`s a win for you

A small tip: your text doesn`t fit at all in most of your sigs. I suggest making clipping masks and using anti-aliasing on your effects.

Thanks for the tips, I do have a little problem with using most of tuts, my PS isn't in english..so there's often issue of translating, especially for special words.

Anti-aliasing, you mean the "aa" thing for text in options bar modifying the look of letters? I've been using it for some time..

Latest sig.

EDIT: Just made those two:

Pay copyrights!? No, just try to find a bit of creativity yourself.

I really like your homer one :-D

the main thing I would suggest would be to make your borders more even on each side lol, 'specially for that last one you posted >_<

I've also been working on my sigmaking skills, I'm using Fireworks MX 2004 though :lol:

Yes I know I got some issues with borders even though I worked on them first when making sigs...

I got PhotoShop CS2.
