Hunter Considering how long it's been since your last piece that's great. It's very sharp and clean looking, I really like the waves in the background it's different to what you sometimes see. The render is good but I don't like the white that goes over his face.
Good work mate.
Greenegg You failed to address any of the problems and created new ones, scrap the smudging because unfortunately it's not working at all. If you rectified that I think it'd improve the signature ten fold.
New wall to be up soon.

ozzie i like that second sig howveer i dont like the 1st sorry but good second one m8.

Mate, not to sound harsh but making walls is more difficult than signatures and you haven't 'mastered' that yet, I'd stick to signatures for a while yet if I were you.
Ozzie: The second piece is the better of the 2 I feel. The render in the first isn't very good if I'm honest, the actual quality of the picture just isn't really good. The text is okay but would be much improved if you didn't use the shadow you have. I find a simple duplication of the text is fine if you change the copied text black and move it underneath the white text. Same probably goes for the text in the second piece. The background in the second sig is quite nice, easy on the eye and the render blends better. Overall the second sig is definetely better but there is still some tweaks to be made.
Greenegg: I agree with Original in that the smudging effect isn't really working in the Halo 3 sig. I do quite like the idea of the little electrical current moving over the render but it hasn't been used to its full potential I don't think. If you remove/fix the smudging and maybe do something to the background picture on the right, I think it'll definetely improve the piece.
I've taken the 2 comments on board from Original and Duggano, and when in both comments the same things are said then you pretty much know it has to be improved. Added a slight tint of orange to it, just to make it a bit more appealing (I hope).
Michael Carrick:

Hunter Definitely an improvement, I think I can see a lens flare in there which I'm not a huge fan of but it're not too bad. I'd say the biggest fault at the minute now, even then it's only minor, Carrick's shoulders look too blurred in comparison to the rest of him, try reducing that somewhat but not completely. The orange was a nice touch.

Original yet again m8 you produce the goods you have masterd the wallpaper. another one of your greats.
Hunter that is alot better now m8 if you keep on adding to your sigs that you think are good but need slighty improving do update them you will become better off.
Right original this is the first wallpaper ive done it is aloty harder your right about that but still had a go. C+C please?

Mate, not to sound harsh but making walls is more difficult than signatures and you haven't 'mastered' that yet, I'd stick to signatures for a while yet if I were you.
I second that.
I mean I've been getting more into walls just lately, and I've been doing graphics on/off for over a year and a half now.
Some feedback:
Hunter: First of all, it's great that you're back in the business mate. It's not a bad sig at all, espcecially for being your first in ages.Overall it's nice structured, nothing takes too much attention aawy from other stuff and nothing really disturbs me there. The render is maybe a little overdone on the blur department, I think it's the smart blur that is a tad too strong. The bg is solid and stylish, the colour theme works for ManU. Text and badge compliment the rest nicely too.
Edit: I saw the second version now, looks even cleaner than vol 1, but the render could still be improved.
Thanks for the comments on my walls mate, your feedback is really constructive and helpful mate. The last post you made commenting on my works is probably 10x more useful to me than what I've gotten from SA on those works. You're really helping a lot of people with your comments mate, keep it up. I especially loved your "pimpishly jazzy" commet about my Amauri wall :laugh: I myself thought Kitsch-Cool would have been appropriate but your term suits it well too. And I do and try to change my style for every wall, it keeps things from getting boring. Maybe I could evolve more on my styles, but I've seen a lot of good artists doing the same things over and over again.
But I can't believe how you give those great comments and then you get like two sentences from the other guys about your work :( People, please pay back on opinions at least to the ones who give it out a lot.
Duggano: The Rio signature was better than the Kaka one, no doubt about that. The first thing you need to sort is matching colours. You can see yourself when something looks good, and the render on that first one doesn't. A general rule to me is that skin colour shouldn't really be changed dramatically. If you really know what you are thinking then you can different stuff.
I'm not really arsed to comment on your wall to be honest, as you didn't even bother to make it the right size.
Here's a quality article for people about using colours, you might even learn something:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory
Greenegg: Smudge is a hard style to master, and it's not my piece of cake at all to be honest. But if you're going on that road you will probably have to practise a lot mate :) The Halo sig isn't a bad one, but I do prefer version 1 to be frank. The bg is a little problem there, it looks too plain and lacking in depth.
Original: It's a nice wallpaper again, I'll admit that. The problem is that despite being technically pretty much flawless it lacks something that makes it stand out. I cannot tell what exactly could it be, but I just think the wall needs something a bit more "stimulating" to it. It'd make a good poster for a gig I think, the style pretty much reflects the picture I have about the band.
Thanks a lot Teekay, after your criticism on the smart blur I do actually see the problem now. Never struck me at the time mind but I guess that's the beautiful thing about receiving comments as a lot of the time you can't see these little subtle things whereas others can.
Really is great to be back here, I can hopefully pick up where I left off and improve.
Original?: Most definetely one of your better walls, if not your best. It's very well structured, and the three positions of the pictures probably couldn't be any better I don't think. The colours involved are nice and do really suit the wall well. Although the main Audioslave text seems to blurry if I'm honest. I think a sharper version of the text would be more appropriate. I like the positioning of the lyrics, especially the text on a slight slope in the top right corner. However I'm not sure whether I like the lyrics text or not, maybe the text you've used in thr bottom right "Images courtesy...." would be more fitting. Overall though, a good wall and one to be proud of, I'd say your best yet. Keep it up mate.
Thanks for the rep too, appreciated.
Duggano7: The size is the main issue I'm concerned about, for a wall it's too small. You would probably need it around twice the size to be effective. The render just doesn't seem right, the cutting and it appears a bit blurred. I think the choice of a blue background is good as it suits white kits but the background itself needs more depth and the brushing applied could be improved. Not too keen on the swirls on the right corner or the text. Best thing to do is probably stick at sigs and become very comfortable with all the tools of the trade in Photoshop before attempting a wallpaper. Keep at it though, you're improving well.

Thanks Hunter m8 i think i will keep to sigs after all i can produce sigs liek this,
http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/7568/sahafh7.png (http://imageshack.us)
comments please?
Duggano - I think you need to do fewer sigs to be honest with you. After all quality is more important than quantity.
Some points you need to consider in the last sig:
1. Text blending options. The effects you use for text just don't look good.
2. Render position. I really think the render should be on the front, not behind the brushing.
3. Render opacity. At 99% of times, the bottom layer of the render should have an opacity of 100%. See-through might be hot, but not usually on a render.
4. Duplicate render. Should be behind the main render.
5. Brushing on the right. The brushing looks quite bad in there, it just doesn't belnd at all.
Just being frank here, it's not a hopeless sig at all.

thanks teekay il take your points on bored m8. cheers for the advice.
Score i think that sig is ok i like the text but i think it had could of done with a better render in my opinion m8 but it still is a nice sig with a nice colour and brushes.
Singey great sig m8 i like the text and the background plus the boder on gerrard very unique m8 i like it.
singey:another great sig and i think your wrong the render works well with the rest of the sig but i would get rid of the yellow part inside the box

nice background duggano but the renders is too blured text works well has its potentials ;)
and as teekay said spend more times on one and perfect it rather than making loads ;)
Hey Singey that's a very nice sig, care to upload the psd to megaupload or somewhere? I'd like to see what I can do in the render department. It'd be kind of a collab then mate!
Rossy if I were you I wouldn't use that sig, you've just ripped wnrssn's sig and put your own render in there! :angry:
A new wallpaper from me....
Teekay: Only post walls as a thumbnail. Otherwise the page gets spread and it looks shit.
Also Just made a CD cover out of the wallpapr im quite happy with this cover. I'ts for his album 'KING'....
http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/4858/ticdcoversb7.gif (http://imageshack.us)
Tutty - The render cut is really poor, looks rushed, the cloud idea is nice but I dont think its executed that well.
Text is decent seems to suit the wall but it needs some effects, maybe a stronger gradient overlay or just duplicate
it and fragment the bottom layer > reduce opacity. It also seems as if the wall is missing something, what it is though is up to you.
Thanks to anyone who commented, Teek, check your PM's ;)
The reason the render quality is so poor is because the size was pretty small, And i had to like make it double size. So it made all the jagged edges show up. But cheers for the comment ;) and what do you think of the Cd Cover?
Oh ok ;) heres a signature adapted from the wallpaper also....
http://img418.imageshack.us/img418/7393/tcj8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
Okay, well I decided to make a sig based on the new album Doctor's Advocate by the Game. It is basically just putting the cd cover into a signature version which is why it is quite simple.
Obviously I couldn't fit all the full pictures on so I adapted it by using a diffent picture of the Game and by using the picture from the alternate cover below the album logo.
I would like some comments and criticism on this as I want to improve it and I am at a block now where I can't think of anything else to do with it.

tutty: it's crap, no one wants to see a pair of siamese t.i twins. it's badly cut and the text looks a bit choppy aswell. you've not at all mastered the simplicity effect, sorry.
timfen: nice work, good blending on the game render.. although i don't think you did a lot of work really did you? it looks more like a 'coming together of pictures' than an actual signature.
Nope I never did a lot of work on it, that is what I was trying to get to when I was explaining it in the post.
I didn't really know what to do with it as I was trying to represent the album by making a sig version of the cover which is also very simple.
If you have any advice on what could be added I would be pleased to here it :)

http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/2440/tottiwalleditgz2.th.jpg (http://img239.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tottiwalleditgz2. jpg)
Timfen : I get the feeling that is more like a commercial design or a banner than a sig, because it just looks like you've blended pictures together. It probably achieves it goal though, so good work. You can never practise too much blending.
Singey: It's a nice wall, I'll give you that, but it has some downsides to it. The render doesn't look awfully good and the text isn't as classy as it should be. The effects on Totti look nice though and the bg picture is a good touch. It should be slightly less visible though. Also remove text from the middle of the brushing.
anyone know when sotw18 is happening
Fast Eddie
03-12-2006, 15:18
Singey that's awesome for your first wallpaper, you've done yourself proud. I agree with what teekay is saying and also the image of totti behind the main render shouldn't have a red collar as it contrasts the rest of the colour scheme. awesome work though man, very impressive.
anyone know when sotw18 is happening
SOTW 18 happens when I feel like the time is right mate. We have had so few entries in the last SOTWs that I think a short break is appropriate.
Thanks for the comments FE and Teek, ill keep them in mind for my next wall, I agree with you FE about the red collar in the shadow render, needs to be desaturated or something. Thanks anyway....
Timfen : I get the feeling that is more like a commercial design or a banner than a sig, because it just looks like you've blended pictures together. It probably achieves it goal though, so good work. You can never practise too much blending.
Yeah its more a CD cover but in the size of the signature. More to advertise the album than anything else. I just took pictures and blended them together to make it but I quite like the look of it though even though I haven't done much work on it.
I will make a proper sig soon but for now I am stuck for ideas :)
SOTW 18 happens when I feel like the time is right mate. We have had so few entries in the last SOTWs that I think a short break is appropriate.
Think there would be someway of advertising the SOTW's on the site ? When you're on the index, you could have Graphics Area: SOTW now on! or something along those lines ?
Anywho, count me in. :cool:
ThierryHenry14: A nice sig, with the tweaks implemented it looks much better. Can't really say too much as most of it was said previously but it's definetely a good sig, and the simplicity works well. Good to see you've slightly moved the little badge from the text too, looks improved. Keep it up mate.
Duggano7: I think I prefer your previous sigs, you've went a little overboard on the blur of the render as you did with your recent Ferdinand piece. The colours in the sig are alright but one criticism that stands out above the rest is the lack of depth in the background. USe several layers for the background and throw a pattern in there with some brushing maybe using effects. Overall, not your best but not too bad.
Tutty: I like the idea you've went for in your TI cover but unfortunately it wasn't as well executed as it could have been. As mentioned, the cutting isn't very good, don't stretch images too, only makes them worse. If you find a picture you like but it's too small, tough luck really unless you can find a larger scale version. The text is good, simple but effective. Although it just seems a tad too simple for my liking. Same goes for the signature as well.
Timfen: Not sure what to think with this Game sig. On one hand the 'The Game' logo is nice and with the shine it looks better and has a metal-like look to it but the Doctors Advocate text below seems a bit small and scratchy. This is probably c/p'ed from the album cover but still. I like the placement and blending of the Game render but he seems a bit red which doesn't seem right. The idea of Harlem in the background is a decent touch to it. Overall not bad, but a bit blank in my opinion. The good points outweigh the negatives though I'd say.
Singey: Simply, nice wall. Especially for a first attempt, I take my hat off to you. I'd have to agree with Teekay on most points, the render does seem a little strange for some reason. However the effects and whatnot at the bottom are great, nice colour too. The text is okay, not too sure about the duplication of the text and the placement though. The background picture could do with less opacity as already stated. But overall, a fairly good wallpaper, keep it up mate.

If your not elite its 450x100 I think.
I don't know what it is when you are elite though
Iceman - Its not bad, the background is good. I cant really see any render effects so I think you ought to have them, would look much better, also the shadow render needs to be less visible. The text isnt great, I would change it to something a little more simple. But seeming as though you have been away from PS for a while its a good effort, keep it up.
New one here to go in my sig for SA, possibly here too (need to check the dimensions), I dont like huge things in sigs so this was a little different size wise, but its a nice little piece, your comments?

Singey i really like it mate, The two images in the frame work great! and i love the colouring youve done on the BG. Looks great with everything else, Also the text is quite simple but yet very affective. It works with the overall wig very well. Nothing bad to say at all, Congratulations a great signature there ;)
The photo's in it are very nice, but the contrast between the yellow and white is a bit blunt.
Love the text/
Singey: That's a stylish sig for sure. I like the idea with the two pictures, it works nicely. I like it that you don't use too much renders, instead you just put pictures in a different space. The picture with Liverpool jersey looks a bit dull though, maybe a light texture on it would do it good. The right side also needs something in it my opinion, but the left works lovely. Overall it's solid work, keep it up mate!

Thank you all
The only real place you can get high quality images from are the 'picture dumps' of various websites like soccer-art. Getty images do have a shit load of images but they are low in quality and are on the small side, the best quality images are bigger than wallpapers.
The sigs are not bad, they are all nice styles, so keep it up. Remember when resizing renders hold shift so you dont stretch them (its most noticeable that you didnt use this method in the second sig in your post)
These are my first sigs here:

how do you put pictures in your posts?
do you just copy and paste, though iv'e tried that.
The image needs to be hosted on a site, and then you copy the link from there, and add round the link if not already done.
You seem to have managed to copy my sig without asking and its link into your signature so why you are having problems with putting it in a post, I dont know.

The image needs to be hosted on a site, and then you copy the link from there, and add round the link if not already done.
You seem to have managed to copy my sig without asking and its link into your signature so why you are having problems with putting it in a post, I dont know.
ok thanks.
sorry about using your sig, i was just looking for a gerrard one and found this.
Downloaded a free trial of PS for my laptop (computer at home), due to a bit of boredom. Havent used PS in ages so not my best work..

Its okay mate, just remember in future...
The only real place you can get high quality images from are the 'picture dumps' of various websites like soccer-art. Getty images do have a shit load of images but they are low in quality and are on the small side, the best quality images are bigger than wallpapers.
The sigs are not bad, they are all nice styles, so keep it up. Remember when resizing renders hold shift so you dont stretch them (its most noticeable that you didnt use this method in the second sig in your post)
Sad but True I really have no time these days I do all these really fast so when I settle down to my new yard I definetly spare serious time in to it Thank you ever so much for all your advises I take care of them

Singey: Excelent work,its very stylish and unique, the text works well i like the way you have put anfield in the background. The frames look very good and work well
TheBee: Looking good i like the first one the best, i like the way you made it look like their is light shinning on his glasses and the text works well. The 2nd one looks ok but the spurs badge and text looks out of place.
Score 22: The text works well the background looks good, i like the spiral brushes aswell
just a muck around with the bg and render for a new wall:

Not bad considering your hiatus from the shopping of photos, the problem with it that it's a little too messy even if that's the desired effect. Not difficult to read as such, just nothing really standsout. Hope to see more work soon.

Cheers for the comments, Original?
I like the wall overall, backgrounds nice. Like the "Slash" text, not to keen on the font of "Saul Hudson", but I suppose that's just personal preference.
Here's an abstract sig, not entirely sure what I was trying to achieve with this sig, but mainly I was messing around with abstract renders/brushes.

Any comments guys :D
Original: Very nice wallpaper there mate, the colours work great togehter and the main render looks great. But the text needs working on prehaps maybe put it a couple of layers lower and have some diferent colours going through the text. But great Wall none the less.
Cracky: Very nice, everything blends together nicely and the main render looks good.I dont like the old fancy writing faint in the BG. But well done.
Original - Its nice, great background and brushing around the render, I think you've used just the right amount for it to look stylish. Im not a fan of the grungey stuff at the bottom or the 'Saul Hudson' text; it doesnt suit the rest of the sig. Top stuff, keep it up.
cracky - Its nice and stylish, good use of brushing and some nice colours, its really simple so there is not much to say, I think the 'world at war' text is a little too simple, times new roman would have suited better IMO.

tutty - I havent been on here for a while and i can hardly recognise your work anymore because you've improved so much. Are you sure you made those! Very good blending with both the sigs you have there. The right habd side of the bob marley sig is a bit plain and i dont like the green colour that you have used. Certainly the best piece of work ive seen from you though so well done.
Cracky - Good to see that you're back making sigs again. The soldier could do with some blending into the background and i'm not too sure about the smaller font choice. The sig itself i quite simple so there isnt a lot i can say. Have to say that the abstract work earlier looks rather classy so keep it up.

Thanks for the comments as always.
Iceman - Don't know how long you've been making sig, back I take you're relatively new to it, and it's a good effort. The brushing in general could do with some work, as it's not blended that well and its confined which IMO doesn't suit the sig. The texts decent but the badge needs some work to make it fit with the general feel of the sig. Overall good work.
This will be my last sig of the night (I know there's be too many). This was a request done for a mate. It's called "Honda fanatic" even though the pictures a ferrai, I know. This render was pre cut and I on a laptop it's almost impossible to cut without a mouse, so I used the Ferrari :)

Thanks for the comment and i assure you i made it :D and when i next go to my nans (i made it at my nans) ill go onto the PSD and change the green ;)
Anyway... i like your sig there mate, the main render is great and i love those sorta squiglly lines comeing from behind him. perhaps get rid of the nedved beside the main one (the one wid low opacity) and put something else there. maybe some more lines. I think the text stands out a bit too much, try changing the style text ;) and the juventus badge looks quite nice on the right there. Well done mate ;)
Also just done another TNA sig on Samoa Joe, made this from my kurt angle PSD...

Tutty: Much better than the majority of your efforts, but the render needs to stand out more than in your last two. The Bob Marley effort is by far the best, the colours work well and it's less plain compared to the other two. The text is decent and works well but can tend to look a little lost. Good work, keep it up.
ThierryHenry14: It does look nice, the lighting is particularly good. The text is somewhat disappointing, it's not bad but neither is it good and looks a little rushed. My only worry is that the colours may be a little too vivid for it to be a PSP wallpaper.
David Unfortunately I can only envision an ungodly mess, unless it was wonderfully co-ordinated it'd end up being a case of too many cooks... you're of course welcome to try though.

A different style for me, I tried to get a reserved, clean feel to the wall and I hope it's come off. Comments and criticisms more than welcome as always.
Overall its a good wall Original? but for me it's just a little too simple.
New sig, largely the same style as my Ronaldo one..
http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r243/Cracky_08/Zanetti4.jpg
Original: The Thom Yorke wall looks really good. It's clean and easy on the eyes just as it is intended to be. Nothing to complain about in there, everything works nicely. It's not a very demanding wall technically though :)
tutty: I can see the latest sigs have quite the same style, and it loks okay. Technically I think they are among your best sigs. Keep it up!
Cracky: You're doing too many sigs right now, that's for sure. Your work isn't bad at all, but with some finishing touches they'd be even better. But you have made some progress, although you can probably do much better when you get back to form.
Original - A bit too simple for my liking, the reversed idea kinda' works well, and the Thome Yorke text is nice
Cracky - Its a really nice sig actually! I like the idea, the background is really nice, the large text in the background works well too, if only you changed the small text it would look really nice. And of course there is the render which if I be brutally honest, is really bad, get rid of the dark stuff over the render, I think you should edit it, cause the sig does have potential.
Thanks for the comments, version two of Zanetti.

Teekay I thought you may recognise that the main render has been changed a lot through a number of small adjusments to make it fit the white background. Here's the original image, I've done a fair bit to it, but it's a lot of small changes. I hope you'll notice varying saturation, and a number of sharper areas around the eyes and on the cheeks.

Cracky there's too much going on for me and the render with what I presume is a satin effect just doesn't look good. Tha background is very nice and I like the text but as I say just a lil' too much of a good thing in my eyes.

One I did to show a mate how to use Photoshop, and just so he could watch how I made it, not sure what I think to be honest.
I like it original, the main renders looks great! but the colours main render in the middle looks a bit dark on the face and a bit poorly cut. I love the faint city in the BG works great! but im not a lover of the text you chose, and the text like it reads 'Gums n roses' i dunno if it just me though. Anyway great wallpaper again well done!

Handwriting "n" usually looks a lot like the typed "m".
The Gn'r wall looks pretty nice Original, the blending works near perfect as it usually does, although it disturbs me a bit that you can see Duff's arm "inside" Sorum. The wall probably showed your friend quite nicely how to work the basics of photoshop and maybe a bit more.
I don't know where this idea came from, but I think you could have used a picture of the Hollywood letters in there to give an extra touch :) Just an idea though, and as it is a quick work you're probably not going to do a V2
On the Yorke wall, I didn't really pay attention to the render effects, I just noticed that it looked pretty nice. Although I did wonder if the picture was just a very good one or if it had been retouched.

I hadn't noticed those couple of mishaps, as you realise it was quick, it's surprising one you can miss when you're in a rush. I like your idea and would probably work along the bottom where the city is merged into the black.

Add a border that's a little more visible because the soft light border you have the minute doesn't quite do the job. Besides that it's alright but to really judge we would have to see the stock image to see what you've done, works well though.

Original - Nice, simple wall, and I like it, the text suits the sig well but the shadow under the render is not to my liking. I know you're trying to keep saturation down in the wall, I just think it needs some colour, maybe near the text set to overlay or something. Keep it up.
A new wall, just an experiment.
http://img379.imageshack.us/img379/5049/roonwalleditty5.th.jpg (http://img379.imageshack.us/my.php?image=roonwalleditty5.j pg)
Original: I can see you have adopted a new smooth style, and it might become a great style if you evolve it. The Moby wall is pretty nice, but I think the main problem is the render. Firstly, I think the render should be desaturated to fit the rest better, and secondly the picture looks a bit plain, maybe add a little contrast. My favourite parts of the wall are the mixer that you have blended very nicely (it suits the theme too) and the duplicate render that is so subtle it looks great when you see it. I'm not a huge fan of the main font on "Moby" text, but it's just a minor thing.
Singey: The first thing I have to say about this wall is that I love the overall composition and layout of this wall. Everything including the text and the render seems to be at it's right place, but the wall lacks the extra class that could make it a superb wall. The render doesn't really stand out enough, that's something I see as the biggest problem. It looks just like the other parts of the wall right now. The cloudy parts on the bg should also be removed in my opinion as they don't look too good. I think this wall has huge potential and you should really make a V2 out of it.
New wall:

Just an experiment, something fairly simple from me this time :)
I like that alot teekay, the frame in the BG looks great! And so does the main render goes nicely with everything else. Although the pictures of juninho in the frame looks a bit odd. He seems to look like a DUCK! :tongue:
But great work again well done ;)
Thanks Teekay, i'll probably work on a V2, im just a bit stuck as to what to do to make the render stand out a little more, any ideas?
Nice work btw, excellent frame and colouring, and the bright red light textures around the frame is class, and the text and its layout is decent too. The only problem I can find is that the main render looks too sharp and choppy in places, I think the idea of sharpening it is good though. Keep up the good work.

Timfen if you want to make a big sig thats cool but the problem is it's too empty. Maybe a shadow render on one side and a badge on the other. Low opacity and blended.
Yeah its quite a simple sig, I was making it when I realised it would have been better to make it 500x200 but by that time I didn't want to go back as I was already quite a way through. If anyone would like the psd to work on though they can include more to it and post it up :)

17-12-2006, 20:37
Timfen - yeah as greenegg has said it is a bit bare. You could also try messing around with the lighting effects as well as the brightness and the contrast. This will change the looks of the piece and it wont all look the same. You could also try blending in the render a little more so it blends nicely into the background. Hope that helps.
Heres my latest piece of work which was inspired by that wonder goal he scored earler.

-Iceman- Nice sig, I like the style and the render is nice.
However the text isn't good, really could do with something simpler imo.
The badge also looks strange there, I would either lower the opacity or remove it all together as it spoils that side of the sig.
Blackillusion Your style is different to everyone elses, and its very diifferent. Your sigs remind me of the sigs that are seen on gaming websites and I never really like them sigs, sorry to say.
You obviously using abstract brushes quite a bit for the backgrounds and I would like to see you use some other type of brush.
Also some text would be nice on the bottom one aswell as the Blackillusion in the bottom right.
Keep up the good work everyone and I am sorry I didn't get to post on everyone's work in this thread recently ;)

Timfen: The render is very nice for someone of your experience so definitely no complaints there, well done. Though I might advise taking a blur tool on about sten pixels around the edges of the render once to help the blending. The text is along the right lines style wise, a good use of a simple and elaborate contrast in fonts, unfortunately the elaborate font needs to be enlarged a bit and the actual fonts themselves aren't the greatest. The background looks empty, but it's not you can see what you've done but only if you look for it. Bring it out a little so that's it not quite so subtle but not too much, then try and use different shades rather that one 'solid block of colour' if you get my meaning.
-Iceman-: Firstly I hate the new name, but nevermind that now. The signature is good, but suffers from the one colour syndrome somewhat also but maybe not to the extent that Timfen's did. The shadow render is too obvious and I don't think it suits there really. The badge needs to be less prominent and maybe rotated or tilted using perspective to make it look less 'slapped on'. The text is just poor too much of an elaborate font that's just not great I'm afraid, but don't worry everyone struggles with the text it seems! Although the render is blended well about the edges, perhaps too much so if I'm honest, the face is to saturated and the lighting makes it look out of place with the rest of a somehwat saturated signature. I'm also unsure on your render choice as I don't think it's actually the greatest image, he's looks somewhat dumbfounded.
Both good efforts, and I hope you're both going to take part in the SOTW, keep it up guys.

Still with the plain style, but this was a quicker effort on request of a friend. Comments still appreciated.
greenegg: What can I say ? The render is sublime and it's quality is possibly second to none around here. :D The background is okay, the little white dots behind the 'render' don't really tickle my fancy. Text is okay too in the small margin. Overall, not bad Greenegg mate, keep it up and the renders should be seen elsewhere too e.g. Soccer-Art.
PS: I'll comment on everyones sigs/walls later on, as I'm off to College in a minute. Danke.

I love the boldness of the photos couped with the simplicity and subtleness of the background. I really like what is happening in the BG in low opacity just enough so you can see what is there and not diverting a huge amount of attention of the main. Great wall but poor subject :w00t

No, you didn't finish, but is was good enough. It was a bit small, but the tiled effect made it look even better. I accidently inversed the colours, and nearly went for that.

Poffeman - The standard of work produced by you is very high of late. I agree with Original?; the flower wallpaper is the best peice IMO. I can't fault perfection.
Here i've gone of a more simple sig.
http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/129/adebayorkc6.jpg
C+C appreciated.
Tutty: (Kurt Angle) A good sig, much like your Bob Marley one obviously. Although I'm not too fond on using the same PSD to create something similar, bit too repetitive of course. Good text used, the colours are fairly decent if albeit a little yellow but I guess that coincides with the Gold Medalist theme. Overall decent, but you haven't seemingly added enough to make it warrant that wow factor.
Timfen: Too big for something so empty I'm afraid. The render is alright so not much tweaking needs to be done there but the main slump is the background. It lacks depth, there isn't much going on unfortunately. Text could be improved too, maybe make it a bit bigger to detract focus from the background.
Iceman: The background is fairly decent but the render and text don't do it justice. The text just seems a bit too 'glowy' and the 'Drop Shadow' option isn't usually impressive with text. The render in the background is along the right lines, but the main render effects aren't too great, changing them would make the piece much better I think. Overall it isn't bad, keep it up man. For the recent Adebayor sig, I think the effects just behind the main render spoil it a bit for me, however I think you're steadily improving. The text is better than that of the Drogba sig on the previous page and I like the touch of the flags in there. Unfortunately though the background needs more depth, 'tis good in the way in which you've added strips and curves in the background but I'm not a fan of the stars. Overall, not a bad sig but is in need of tweaking to achieve an overall good outcome. Keep going at it mate.
Blackillusion: The top sig is fairly good, I like it. It's wild, inorganised and quite in depth. I can't fault it much really as I'm not excelled in that department but as far as brushing goes it looks fairly decent. This view of mine is similar for the second sig too, I like the orange/gold colouring scheme you have got going on. In light of the positive comments above, I'm not a fan of the Nakamura piece below. The render just doesn't seem to blend into the background much and it makes for a poorer sig. It's hard to achieve football/abstract sigs from my personal perspective but if you're set out to accomplish it then by all means carry on. Remember though, use a border on all your work so it looks smarter. To do this, flatten all the layers by pressing Ctrl+Alt+E, then duplicate the remaining layer, now go to Edit and choose Stroke. Keep it up mate.
Poffeman: (Avatars) The main focus is obviously the lighting and I think you've done well in this department. The colours for the top one are very good and capture the importance of the trophy by using the goldish light colour scheme. Not sure why you've went for green on the Cannavaro avatar but it still looks fairly good none the less. Could be better with a wiser choice of colour though I think.
(Signatures) I'm a fan of the Real Madrid sig, the effects you've applied are lovely and the lighting tops it off nicely. The only flaw I can see with this sig is the text, that is lacking the elegance which the sig requires. Overall though, a good piece and you've achieved a nice effect. For the collaboration, I'm positive I've seen it many months ago, not sure why you would post older work unless you forgot to post it first time round. Anywho, the render is good as is the text, 'tis a smart idea. However the background on the left seems to be lacking somewhat in depth and the Liverpool badge fails to cover this. The Poffeman/Ash text could be a bit better too, not too fond of it. Overall it's not bad, fairly decent even but still has a couple of flaws I think.
(Wallpapers) That flower wallpaper is soiperb. I really like it, the sense of growing colour, and bright multi-colour at that, is brilliant. The black and white really does make the centrered flower stand out more and you've accomplished the overall look very nicely. Well done mate. For the Xavi wall, I just don't like it to be honest. I wasn't really a fan of the original wall either so it's barely down to you that I dislike it. The new lighting in areas is probably the only excitingly good point about it unfortunately, the rest isn't really to my taste. The 1st version of the Zlatan wall is better than the 2nd. I really like it the 1st, it looks extremely professional and shows experience. The 2nd on the other hand is a bit irrelevant with the duplicate render on the left with the difference in colour. I really like the background on the right, and the city lights give it a bit more depth too. Well done, keep it up.
Javier Zanetti:
Been working on a Zanetti sig for the past few hours so I'd obviously like to host it. Wasn't sure what I was doing at the start of the creation but it eventually turned around and I'm fairly pleased.
Comments and Criticism are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance...
Hunter - I like it, I think theres a lovely kind of simpleness to your sigs, they just look so clean and effective. Background and text is great, so are the colours, I cant find many faults, it really is a nicely constructed sig, perhaps the badge looks a little out of place, if you could make it bigger and less visible I think maybe it'd work better. Good stuff.
A new wall I made today, comments appreciated...

Hunter Firstly, fantastic comments I'd rep you for that if I could because you truly deserve it, unfortunately it's too soon to 'rep' you again. As for your work, I like it, but you still have some way to go to get back to your best, which was very good. I do feel it's too small to see all the work that's gone into it, but it's up to you what size you want to make your work.
The background is extremely nice, makes uses of a number of colours and comes off nicely, I like that it looks full with out looking 'cluttered' or 'too-much'. You seem to have gone for a matte finish with this one which I like, and for that reason I thing the soft render looks good and fits in well. The only problem with the render for me is the white curve you have at the top, this makes Zanetti's hair look a little odd where it crosses. I'd put it behind the render, or perhaps just diminish the bit the goes over the render.
I'm not a huge fan of the font you've used, it just doesn't seem as professional or in keeping with the rest of the signature. As Singey said, the badge doesn't look too great either, maybe his suggestions would work. Alternatively you could move the badge to the left of the text, and perspective it so that it's turned to the right somewhat, then have the text aligned to the left so that it's next to the badge.
Overall though it's a solid signature, keep it up.
Singey Interesting idea, but I don't feel you've executed it anywhere near the top of you abilities. Oddly for you the render is quite good in comparison to what I can only describe as a dire background, especially by the high standards you've set for yourself. It looks plain and the yellow looks rather amateur for someone of you skill. That horizontal line could work if it were on a more detailed background, as it is, it's ratehr unecessary. Another rarity is that the text is probably the best part of the wall, I think if you develop the background alot and tone down and improve the yellow you could have a good wall. The text could be a great feature, but it's let down by the rest, sorry to be blunt mate but it's not good. I expect better from you to be honest.
Smashing Pumpkins

Was going to be a collab with Singey, but he's still living in the dark ages, so there it is. Comments welcome.
I'll get some comments up for people soon. But for now my latest sig...
http://i11.tinypic.com/2mhsoyt.png
Comments Please :)
Poffeman (Avatars) I like them the lighting is nice and the world cup one looks really cool. Some text would have been nice and maybe a few other effects to make your avas different from the rest but nice work anyway.
(Signatures) Being completely honest I am not a big fan of that Real Madrid sig, but that's just my opinion. I don't really like the effects on the picture or the border really.
Kewell sig is nice, simple but looks good for a clean sig. I'm not to sure on the Liverpool badge in the background though where it blends into the the sig it looks bad imo. Render is nice but the cut isn't the best seems to be a bit cut out of the hair which looks bad.
(Wallpapers) Flower wall is fantastic and looks like the kind of thing you see on Deviant art that would recieve loads of comments and faves. Its one of the best walls I have seen in this thread. The Colours are fantastic and the depth in the wall looks really nice. Great work.
To much going on in the Xavi sig for my liking I could never have it as a desktop wallpaper. But just on the looks I think it is oversharpened and I don't really like the text either.
Ibrahimovic wall is nice I like V1 more than V2 just because I prefer the simplicity of the wall.
Very nice work overall. KIU
Original? Damien Rice wallpaper is nice but I think you are playing it to safe with your walls and you should experiment, you use the polaroid pictures and lyrics on walls a lot and it makes your work look very similar. This is just my opinion and I understand you are loads better than me on photoshop but it would be nice to see you use your skills to make even beter walls rather than repeating your nice similar wallpapers again.
I know you do a lot of work in the background which varies from each piece but when looking on first view the appearance I get is that its another similar looking piece, great but getting slightly boring now.
-Iceman Text isnt great and the background would look better without all the spatter brushes on it. Render isn't that nice either tbh the guassian blur is a bit overdone. I like the Arsenal and Togo parts but the rest could be done better.

Yeah mate, it's very similar to the Moby and Thom Yorke walls, but it was requested in that style, so there's was little I could do. As for the polaroids, I've only used that technique twice on walls, so I'm not sure I've over-used that particularly. Hopefully you'll think the Smashing Pumpkins wall, that I posted a bit further up, is a bit different. All taken on board though.

Ah ok I see understand now what you mean, its a nice style I have to say. Just getting a bit repetitive now ;)
Only twice? Oh well I thought it was more times, might have been Poffe or someone else who did it on a wall then.
And yes that Smasking Pumpkings is really nice, blending is great and all the images are well selected for the wall. Text is good aswell.
Also cheers for listening to my comments as I think sometimes people choose to ignore someone's comments if they are of a lower ability than the poster. All constructive comments can help no matter what the ability and experience of the user in my opinion.

The whole BG and everything looks pretty nice! But the render really lets everything down, The white thick border around rooney looks awfull, and maybe add some effects to rooney aswell. But nice sig anyway just change the render mate ;)
Mine and tutty's collab. Comments appreciated.

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i313/Singey_LFC/tutty-singey-collab.png
/)/\\///) Alright looking BG, although it can be improved on ( Maybe some grunge work ? ). The render isn' t very good though, the white line around Rooney is.... well, lets just say you should scrap that. Text also isn' t too bad, or too good, as the Rooney text is a bit too big IMO, then on the other hand, the Man U and England text is good. Needs work.
Singey and Tutty Collab Brilliant piece that. Lovely for the eyes, nice and simple. Love the text too, it just all fits in nicely, and is a great signature! Will do great in SOTW I should think. Well done.
Latest/Juninho Sig:
http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/9720/juninhosigcopycl0.png (http://imageshack.us)
Am a bit rusty due to not producing a sig in a while. But im pleased with the outcome, although needs some tweaks. C + C appreciated!
Some feedback for you guys:
Poffeman:
First of all, the avatars look very nice. The colouring is stylish and the avatars look like something even I could use ;)
As for signatures, the Real Madrid one is pretty interesting. I can see you've used the sepia kind of style again, and it doesn't look bad at all. The abstract brushing doesn't fit the rest at all in my opinion, I think it really distracts the feeling of the sig. I can see the point with the simple text, you don't want to take attention away from the rest. The border is a little too big in my opinion, and the parts where it's the same colour as the main pic look a little strange.
The Harry Kewell signature looks damn old, you made it off an old PSD if I'm correct? I'm not a huge fan of the text, it looks a little noobish although not completely hopeless. The style is very basic as is the colouring, but the render effects are probably the best part of this piece. Also the Poffeman/Ash text looks really amateurish.
The photomanip of the flower is a very interesting piece of art. I can see a lot of people like it, and why not, it's a well made piece. The colouring you've done looks really carefully executed. I think you could have done some sharpening & blurring to the picture though, to get the kind of an effect you get when you take a really close picture. Also I cannot decide if I like or dislike the contrast between the colourful flower and the black & white background.
The remix of Wnrssn's Xavi looks very nice too. I like the effects on the render, except the face which looks like totally dumb. The lightning is pretty classy, I especially like the part on his right arm. I think the overall atmosphere of the wall is good, it has a nice dark feeling to it.
Zlatan wall is decent, but I think it suffers from too much lightning. The bg looks like it's a good one, but you can't really see it because of all the white brushing. Also the white makes the render blend strangely in some areas. The colouring on his feet is my favourite part, it really sets off the bottom of the wallpaper.
Original: The Damien Rice wall is pretty boring to be honest, just like it's subject. It think it's in desperate need for some flair. The bg is clean and pretty stylish, but the main picture looks awfully plain to be honest.
The Smashing Pumpkins wall is an interesting idea. The idea that you got from the song is an original one, and I think it has potential. The wall is well realised as your walls usually are, and I think you got the result you wanted. However it needs the one special thing that sets off the wall, the bullet alone doesn't grab the attention enough. The text is okay, but I think you've used that font quite a few times. The colouring on the wall is probably my favourite parts, it's really subtle and you really have to watch closely so you can see it.
-Iceman- I think this sig has some potential, but unfortunately there are a lot of things that still need work. The background looks a bit too lame, it just needs some depth. Blend in some pictures perhaps? Also the stardust brushing is such a whored effect I wouldn't use it as the main brush. The yellow glow on the render looks horrible, I think it should be removed. Also the whole render looks too yellow, I'd much rather see some more natural tones. The text is clear, but a little unprofessional looking. But that's the last thing you have to concentrate on now.
Hunter: Nice to see you getting back to the photoshop business step by step :) The Zanetti signature is a solid effert. It's main problem is that Inter are scum, but what can you do :tongue: The bg looks full, but not messy at all so it's safe and sound in that area. Although the badge on the bg is innecessary imo. The render looks a bit dull, maybe add some duplicate layers on different blending options on top of it. I'm not sure if that'd suit the rest of the sig though. The badge is a nice touch, I think it looks pretty nice on top of the text. As for the text, I think one duplicate on low opacity would've been enough considering the clean look of the sig. The font is good and the colour goes nicely with the rest too. The border is nice and thick, it compliments the white brushing nicely and gives a nice contrast with the blue. Overall it's a pretty good sig, just keep up the work and you'll regain your form mate :)
Singey: I'm afraid that to some extent I have to agree with what Original said about the Mark Gonzales wall. The yellow looks pretty dire, but I have to say I haven't really seen a classy wall with a render wearing those shocking away shirts. Bright yellow is such a hard colour to work with in my opinion. The render is too yellow, and I think a little sharpen on it could look good. Also the lightning on the wall should be stronger if you are going to leave the rest black. The brushing on the ball is my favourite detail, it really looks ace when you look at it closely. The duplicate render is also a good idea on this wall. The text is pretty good, although I cannot really concentrate on it due to the other disturbing factors.
The collab sig with Tutty looks good. It's a tad simple, but the sig has a nice flow and the colours are nice and pleasing to the eye. I think you could have used more of tutty's work though, his start to the sig wasn't bad at all. Now it looks a lot like your sig, rather than being a collab.
Timfen: The Larsson sig is bad to be honest. It just looks like you've slapped stuff on the workspace without really giving it much time. Some nice ideas on the bg, but the for example the green colour looks very bad. Back to the drawing board mate!
David: I think I've seen a lot better work from you, the Rooney sig isn't one of your best really. The text looks too simple, and the PES font doesn't do it at all. I think you have to work more on your ideas, this sig just doesn't look like a very serious effort.
The Zanetti signature is a solid effert. It's main problem is that Inter are scum.
:laugh:
Great commenting mate, I have to spread rep prior though so you'll just have to wait. ;)
I'm off to Osaka for a week, so you won't be seeing me here guys!
Ciao!
Cali - Nice to see you back, and looking at your sig its easy to see that your skills are a bit rusty, just like you say, but its nothing to be worried about, you'll get back into the habit. I cant say I like the sig too much, the idea of the white shape at the bottom kinda' cuts the sig off too much in my opinion, something more simpler would have been better, the shape is something you could do without. The background is average, by the looks of things you have not cut the render out of the stock image, sometimes keeping the background of the stock image works with certain styles and can lead to a nice stylish finish, but I dont think it suits this one too much. Light brushing is a nice touch. The render is a good choice but is a little too red in my opinion, it should be toned down a little, also the render doesnt seem to be resized properly (it looks a bit stretched!). Juninho what ever his last name is text is nice, a stylish touch, but the Lyon and Brazil texts look very poor and randomly placed. Overall a decent start to hopefully a new era of sigs from you, keep it up.
Teekay - Goodbye

Have a good time Teekay. Awesome feedback too.
Cali - The Juninho render seems to be a bit squashed too me The flower brushing looks quite nice but i dont like the block where all the text is. It kinda ruins the piece for me. Still its a good effort considering that you havent made any sigs for a while. Keep it up and you'll be back to your best.
I've tried a version two because i felt that this sig could have some potential.
http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/fc23c415f7.jpg
Iceman, I can see that your trying to look for simple fonts as I know you often recieve comments about how your fonts usually dont suit, but the one you have chosen isnt that good either. The sig is decent, but I want to concentrate on your fonts and text layout. Although you've been told that plain and simple often does the trick, its not always the case. Handwritten fonts sometimes work, sometimes fonts like 'Times New Roman' do the job, but when making a sig its down toy your style as to what font you use. I feel maybe Times new roman would suit your sig, small in size. Also, sometimes you need variety, change the layout of the text, I thought i'd help you with some ideas...
e m m a n u e l A d e b a y o r
Emmanueladebayor (change the colour of 'adebayor' to make it stand out)
Emmanuel A D E B A Y O R
A D E B A Y O R (and then in a smaller font) ArsenalsNewStar ( change the colour of 'new' to gold or something)
Things like that, its all down to your creativity, just think about text before you slap it on, which is what it looks like when you lay it out like you have.
Also, change fonts, eg. (smaller size, Times New Roman) Emmanuel
and then just below (larger size, handwritten font) Adebayor
I could go on forever, but I cant be arsed, this should give you some pointers so just be creative and think about your text!

OK guys, I can remember someone posting this (http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20legenduf9.jpg) sig a while back and claiming it as his own. But I can't remember who exactly.. I've searched about 15 pages back in this thread but the guilty one must've removed his post. Now I'm 100% that someone did this..
The original creator is "El Nino" of FootieArts: http://footiearts.com/ (FAWB 16# 2nd place)
PS. Teekay, I LOVE that Justin Timberlake wall of your's. Using it right now, but can you please send me the PSD.? :)
I cannot remember seeing that sig, but then again it's impossible to spot every piece of work that is done.
I'll pm you the link for the psd mate :) If anyone else wants it, please pm me for it.
Duggano I'm sad to say that sig lacks class & style no matter how good the subject might be. Just work more on your sigs, cause you only get better by practice.
Okay guys, here's my latest wall, I guess you can call it a jetlag piece of something. I got the idea right after arriving from Osaka.
Quite a big amount of work put into it, it's completely different from what I've done before. My philosophy in graphics is always to strive for new things, instead of sticking back to my old styles. I tried to achieve a funny retro kind of a style here, maybe cartoonish in a way. Anyway, enjoy the wall:

It was Idevil on WeManiacs, as ? said.
Nice wall there man, loving the splashes and brushing, render's good too. But could need some effect on it. Maybe try to vectorize it or something? I feel that there's a lot of contrast between it and the rest of the WP, but not in terms of colour.
The text is good but I feel that you can do so much better, try a different font and play around with effects. Also maybe try to "Pinken" the guns just a bit.
Hope this helped. :)

Savatage Wallpaper
http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/276/savatageks6.th.png (http://img444.imageshack.us/my.php?image=savatageks6.png)
My first for a little while, based on the song When the Crowds are Gone by Savatage, the lyrics for which can be found here (http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/savatage/gutterballet.html#4).
That's really nice ?. I think you should increase the contrast of the frame a bit though, and remove the scan lines. The concept is great, but as always - it can be improved.

-Teekay- As I said on MSN, it's horrible, the colours are garish and I personally hate it. That said, it's technically quite good, and I'm sure there are others out there that will like this style as there are people out their who like the 'artist'.
Technically decent, not your best for sure, but not to my taste.
Poffeman Very nice and clean, I like the slightly differentiated colours and I think the design you've done about Timberlake is very good, will be hard to improve on that. The background however needs some work, while I know you're going for a very clean and 'modern' look, the background is just too bland. Only something tiny needs doing but something is certainly needed to break up the block of white mayve a few waves of very light grey or the like.
Singey Very professional looking, quite sleak. The design is nice and the text, as tends to be the case with you, works very well, I especially like the font selection. The render is good, but nothing special even if the blue is a nice touch. You may want to fade the opacity on the electricity on his finger, only enough that it can't be seen though!
The main thing needed is some work on the background although you've got the professional look, the background needs something to liven it up. As with Poffe something very little would likely set it off perfectly.
Thanks for the comment Original, and the favour returned...
Savatage wall, decent, the style is really nice and well executed. Text, great as always. Im not too fond of the diagonal scan lines that, too outstanding, the grungey feel is good, and the main picture is very nicely but lightly brushed in the corner, good stuff. Frame is quite excellent (a good choice).

sorry!
no need for calling me a moron?
Original?: Firstly, I'd have to say as a whole the wallpaper looks a bit too blurry. I think a sharper more bold approach would maybe have been more successful. With that aside, I think the Carlitos Way text is good and the smaller text okay. I think the scan lines need to be lowered in opacity though, possibly try without them. The image on the right helps depict the emotion of the film and therefore quite a good idea, however the lilac colour just seems too pale, a broader more passionate red would be more suitable I feel. I like the white streak through the middle dividing the two pictures, just makes sense. Overall it's an alright wallpaper but I don't think it's bold enough to merit superb praise from my behalf. Your previous wallpaper was better I have to say mate, keep it up though. (Reading back I sound quite harsh, but I hope it's more constructive than poking anything offensive.)

To be quite honest, I'm not liking it. You've done way better.
It looks stretched and weird, colours are.. Can't find the word, but a bit boring. Text is ok but a bit bland. Sorry if I seem like an idiot, but your other work has been way better.

I have used that thread. Jebus, there's no harm in adding to the question "does anyone like my sig?", is there? There's really no need to be so anal about it. I was going to post a simple question in the Liverpool thread asking for predictions on how we'll do this weekend, do you want me to post the same question in the Chelsea thread?!
Listen, I apologise if this offends you, but you should really just chillax. I would, however, still like anybody's feedback on the sig.

Well Singey that's not really going to help the place get going again, if you post your work you're still pretty much guaranteed to get some comments. There was a point when this section was really going well, trouble is that it's losing participation which is causing even less participation. It's a vicious circle, so whatever you do don't stop posting your work.

Agreed that it's always going to be a slow time as people are busy at this point in time for various reasons, but I think this is something more, the section is virtually dead.
The signature is nice and clean, quite simple looking yet effective. I feel it's a little too bland however, it's lacking that little spark to turn it from a solid effort to something really good. I'm not too fond of the shapes cutting across the render, however I don't think it's a major issue. I like the text, it's so simple yet so fitting for the signature style.
New shit from me, dunno' what I think about it to be honest. But I think I did well on the text.

Cracking renders and a nice lay out for the text, the only problem is I would never have anything that ridiculously bright as my wallpaper.
Teek - Nice and simple style, the pink colour works very well and I really like the way you have laid out the text just next to the render and in line with that darker stripe, looks classy, good work both of you.

Singey:
The layout of the wall is the best thing about it, I really do like it. The text is also great, it fits the rest of the wall nicely. The text Steven should be in some other colour than white though, maybe dark or light grey. There's a one bigger problem in the wall though, and that is the colours. Everything looks pretty pale and nothing really stands out against the white. Maybe if Gerrard had the red top on in the main picture the whole idea would look better.

I really like the initial layout and on first glance I thought it was winderful, looking more closely there's a few problems for me. Unlike -Teekay- I don't feel the washed out look is at all a problem, a number of people prefer a dull desktop to bright colours, it's just a matter of taste for me. My main critique has to be the text which being a little unreadable in places (intentional or not) makes the wall look a little untidy and lacking. If you changed the text to black, or perhaps put some kind of black text on top, in addition to the white I think it'd work better. Still it's a cracking wall, and I think it's one of your better pieces.
T'was the inspiration for this, but it turned out a little different.
