I used Abaddon's BG tutorial aswell, really effective.

Very nice, but I think it would look infinitely better with the render on the left and the text on the right.

Del Piero - V1


Del Piero - V2


Comments and criticisms on each are greatly appreciated, and I'd like to know which you prefer, cheers.

Very nice Original? But make the canvas bigger so that the shadow doesn't get cut off at the bottom. It's a great new style you've started doing, keep with it.

Possibly for SOTW:

FE - Nice work, its a nice idea, but I agree with Original, the way the render is facing it ought to be on the left with the text on the right. The background is excellent, but Abaddon gets the credit for that, and I think the text suits the sig well.

Original - I prefer the first version, renders, text and shapes all fit together really nicely and I think you've used the colours well too. Also the shot of Turin on the right hand side gives the sig that little bit extra, what with it being colourful and vibrant. I still think the 'Bianconeri' text could be improved, but the rest is great.

Abaddon - Its a nice and simple sig and the render effects are great, the 3 renders are divided nicely with the tilted white lines and the text seems to suit the sig well, although I still think theres room for improvement in that area. I think maybe you should cut out Becks and Ronnie out of their bg's and duplictae them 2 times, leave the background, make the next layer a mosaic with 20px squares, and leave the top layer, then reduce the opacity of the mosaic layer, gives a pixel effect around the renders. Just a thought

[Singey]

Just a quick one, your thoughts??

[Teekay]

Fast Eddie - I pretty much agree with what everyone has said. Move the render to the left and text to the right. The sig doesn't really flow right now. Especially when you are going to make walls (hopefully so) things like this are really important.

Original - Nice layout again, it's the same style as the Oasis signature. You could try out different blending modes instead of photo filters in my opinion.

Abaddon - That's too simple to be honest. Not a good work judging by your standards.

My latest wall, In my opinion it's the best I've done:



Critics are welcome, as long as they are constructive

That is an amazing wallpaper Teekay, If I were a Chelsea fan then that would be my wallpaper now, top work man, as always.

Ah yes, those are the stupid things you don't notice at three in the morning! Cheers for pointing it out.

Thank you, I'll again try and improve the text on my next attempt, one problem I have is I don't like using too much of one font though I might be wrong in doing, or not doing that as the case may be.

It may only be a quick effort, but it's one of the best ones of seen from you since you got Photoshop, it's very clean and everything seems to work nicely together. The text is especially nice, very simple in a way but elegant at the same time.

Yes it is quite similar but I'm struggling for a way to make the style more my own.

The blending of both the render and the ground in the background is fantastic. As is often the case with you I find, the is rather 'busy' with lots going on, but it seems very clean and precise unless you study it which is excellent. The only trouble I have with the wall is the Chelsea badge, while it's not what I'd call bad, it does not live up to the standard you've set yourself in this wall. I'm looking forward to seeing your next piece, just so I can hate you that little bit more!

Have you done anything with the White Stripes psd I sent you?

Here are a few of my favourite sigs I've made, I've been PSing since around May

What is the best one and what can I improve from both?

[tutty06]

There both great greenegg but the text aint too nice. Change the text.

Heres my latest and my best IMO.

Very similar to the Kasabian signature above, but I think I prefer the Kasabian signature even though this one is more graphically impressive. The lighting is quite nice, but it seems a bit too much in terms of contrast. The splashes of blue are a very nice touch and prevent the signature being too monotonous. While the text here is easier to read I don't think it's quite as good. Overall a nice signature though.

Definitely your best that you've posted here. The colours are very nice, the 'splattered paint' sort of style you have going on is very nice, you've worked the lighting nicely, and it really helps blend the render in which looks fantastic by the way. I really like this piece, I'd like to see you work on some bigger canvas to showcase your stuff.

The only note I'd have about your signatures in general is that you seem to just repeat the text from one signature to the next, some variation I think would be nice. All in all though a great profile.

Use this one as the basis, scrap the render because I don't think it's a good choice there, then use the render you used on the right of the top signature as that's the best one, I don't know why you hid it. Then add some effects and blend it in because you failed to do that in either, in both pieces the renders look quite boring. The text needs work, however the background is one of the best I've seen from you. I think the signature would benefit from an improved border.

I hada look at the TUT but i couldnt follow it so i gave up, so therefore i decided to go my own way whilst making it.
Anyway thanks for the comment. And do you think i should do a lil' less spatter on jimi?

[Singey]

Thanks for the comment Original.

Mr. Cajones your work is looking promising! Some good stuff there, I think the Kasabian sig is your best but I also like the others, all unique.

Tutty - Its nice, the text needs some improvement but other than that its decent, you've used the colours well in my opinion.

[Hansel]

Right, umm.. To pull this style off correctly you need to have the sig more sharp and clear, looks like you have some sort of brushing above the pictures and weird filter effects. I suggest you just increase the contrast a bit on some pictures and use sharpen edges. Could you send me the PSD.? (It's a good sig I just think it can be a lot better )

My SOTW entry:

EDIT: New avatar

[Mr Cajones]

Just finished this



Nice SOTW entry poffeman, lighting and depth are a little iff, but i like the effects, especially on the left, it looks quite hawt.
