Collaboration

[SaIRoS]

I had this idea, let's make a sig all together. Let's make a group of a volontary persons. Then we'll select a render and everybody will make something. We'll share the PSD by MSN. What do you think?

[xhiea]

would be cool :D

[SaIRoS]

omg, Xhiea you are so fast :P

yeah, in this way we all can see our skillz and put them together :)

everybody interestred please submit here. ;)

[xhiea]

me :P

[drugi]

if it?s real person forget me if it?s another thing then real person i?m in ;)

[SaIRoS]

we'll decide our render theme and stuff all together ;)

[Kazos]

ok, but your gonna have to explain it to me more ^_^

[SaIRoS]

it's pretty easy - we make a team, select a render and somebody starts making a sig, then he sends it to another member to tune it up. The PSD will be shared from member to member. It will be a team work :)

[Benna19]

i wanna join too if u let me :D

[SaIRoS]

yes, everybody is welcome to join ;)

[xhiea]

[SaIRoS]

man, I saw the PSD.

You did your work but:

- used brushes, by doing this you removed the lighing point from the sig
-- lighting point is really important in a sig. It must be added the way the light drops down on the render. Adding brushes (wight or grey ones) you make the sig brigher and loose the focus.

I hope I was clear.

When I am talking about PRO sigs, or atleast good ones, I talk about sigs made not only with brushing and color balance but with more adjustment layers, filters, trasformations, multiple renders.

[xhiea]

can i have the psd please?

oh, and lighting is not only relevant in a sig, but relevant in art, any drawings or any kind of artwork, it gives what you are creating a three dimensional look, as SaI said, just adding a few brushes over the top really kills the lighting and makes the image look very flat.

its like if you create a black 3d model, with a white bacground it will be 2d, if you add lighting, the image becomes much more realistic.

What im trying to say, im sorry if this seems a bit insulting, but what you did was ok, it was an ok touch, but you need to add lighting, even iff that only means editing the brush layer adding a gradient to create lighting. think about that and when you create your next art/sig think about lighting and dont just brush the hell out of a background, add a render and say "look i maded a sigz" Art needs thought. I sketch alot of my thoughts on paper, and then use those ideas in my sigs/art look at my latest sig, i still have the sketch of the design laying on my desk somewhere, it is just a circle for the face, the lines i wanted and some splatter in the corners. Its pretty much what i achieved but i added ALOT more.

Holy crap, i kinda went off on one :P

ok.

Lighting = good sig

flat = bad


><


sorry if any of that seems horrible, its all going to help you :D

So when do we get to see the result? When does it end. It just seems like you can only add so much to a sig before nothing is really being added anymore. The sig is just completely changing and you can't tell how it started out in the first place or what the originator had in mind. Maybe a png of each phase should be shown so we can all see what changes took place. That could be educational :-) Just my thoughts. I'm dying of curiosity to see this sig!

[Kazos]

Lol i just want to see the result :P

[drugi]

yeah i want to see a result too -.-

[SaIRoS]
