<div align="center">SOTW#4


This time the dig of the week contest will be a little different for mthe other ones. As I saied before, the render is selected by me, because I need you to improve your skills on real people theme. I know it's hard but you can't improve without trying you know :blush:

Ok, I was looking for a good render/stock and I came with this pretty sweet Kattie Holmes stock:

for example I am looking for sigs like these:

believe me, if you'll get how to make them well, you'll never have problems doing other type of sigs ;)

I can suggest you some these tuts if you want a guide:

Tutorials:

http://tech-gfx.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=501

but try to make it yourself.

Another thing, plz don't use only brushing for the background, yeah I know, I used it too, but when I saw what you can do without brushing but with smudging, filtering and so on, I am not using them anymore (only splatter sometimes)

I'll be very glad if you all take part, and btw, this SOTW premium is 200 creds + my Elegance PSD (91 layers
:yes:

[Saint Isaiah]

How's this?

http://saintisaiah.com/images/sigs/khsotw.jpg

[SaIRoS]

yeah, the entries are not bad. The Saint Isaiah's one has an awesome bg but the render is not blended well.

Looking forward to see more submitions :)

[Saint Isaiah]

Any suggestion on how to blend it well? Because you gave us a png but it wasn't transparent.

[SaIRoS]

lol, forget trasparent pngs. I use the same stocks liek yours.

to blend it, you can use smudging tool or eraser with splatter brushes ;)

[BouncingBalls]

No comments about mine?

[Saint Isaiah]

Your sig is pretty cool Glass. I like it a lot.

I took your advice Sairos and I blended Katie better with the sig.

http://saintisaiah.com/images/sigs/khsotw2.jpg

How's what?

[Benna19]

[Saint Isaiah]

Well no one told me it's a poll to see who wins. I assumed the topic starter chooses the winner. You spelled "Katie" wrong BTW.

And no offense, but if I make a mistake I'd appreciate it if people wouldn't respond to it like I'm supposed to know.

[bmiz]

SaIRos....I dunno if you realize this but you spelled Katie wrong

it is spelled K_A_T_I_E not K_A_T_T_I_E ;) there is only 1 T in Katie :P

I recommend fixing your sig ;)
I'm workin on mine btw

[Saint Isaiah]

Yeah it is misspelled...

Oh well...

[bmiz]

:o :o :o

MY ENTRY WONT POST...I don't get it.....I am at school right now but I hope someone is on MSN when I get home....I need help!!!!!

[SaIRoS]

I am not from USA so saw your posts right now, and it's not really easy to fix the text if I have 20 layers above it :blink:

So if I'll be able to fix it I'll do it, if not I don't care.

[deathcatcher]

misspeling is begining to be a problem but not alll the gfx makeres are english like me [portuguese]
so its benning to not be a problem but they are some peoples that think just because its wrong writen that the sig sucks
but in my opinion sairos sig is great

[VitaminF]

No brushing didn't know that.. But don't worry I didn't paint -.- I used C4Ds =P

[Saint Isaiah]

It looks nice. :D

[oxen]

i got a question :o

whats c4d's XD

[Benna19]

c4d is an 3d object (precutted if u mean c4d render)
wich is used by gfx ppl to improve their pictures
its called c4d because most of the time u make it with a program called Cinema 4d

heres an example

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/192140...h+age_scale%3A5 (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/19214030/?qo=12&q=c4d+render&qh=boost%3Apopular+age_sigma%3A24h+age_scale%3A5)

not precutted i think

[oxen]

kk thx dude
