[Simzo]

Welcome to my gallery,
If anyone would like a signature or avatar then leave a PM or a visitor message with what render you would like used and also what text you want included (Name, gamertag, phrase etc.)

I will use any type of render that you want but i am not a big fan of multi-render signatures.

Thanks for looking at my gallery, CnC is welcome.

Nice Sigs. How do you get the Render to extend out of the main area?

[Simzo]

It's quite simple really, there is plenty tutorials all over the internet..

Here is one..

Some nice sigs Simba. Only critisism I've got it that the backgrounds all follow the same sort of basic design. Try adding more colours or c4ds to vary them a bit (I'm no expert when it comes to creating the backgrounds but hope this helps). Other than that keep up the good work.

Yeah i tend to use a lot of grunge and fiery brushes, and i haven't used any C4D's because i never know how to fit them into the signature, i will try sometime.

Your text needs a lot of work, but its not a bad start. Try experimenting with different blending options/modes to improve.

Also the size of alot of your sigs may be what it hurting them in my opinion.
Having a huge "rectangle" is alright if theres something in there, but it just seems to be a load of solid colour brushes that don't please the eye.

Overall though, not a bad start, keep at it!!

[Deadly Moves]

I like the fact that you use a lot of colour in your sigs. But sometimes there is too much of the same colour.

For example...
I think this one would look better if he had some more colour variation in his face and background.


On the whole.. your pretty good..
But you also need to pick some better fonts and either make a feature of the text or hide it more.

haha, i've been telling Simon the same thing you guys have been saying.

He should add more C4D's and vary the size of his signatures.

For using GIMP these are pretty damn impressive!

[zI Gordo Iz]

Wow, you are fucking amazing!

Keep up the good work.

This is not bad at all. Some tips and c&c I can give are : Don't be afraid of using adjustment layers. Things like gradient maps, curves, levels, color balance, ect.. Experiment a lot with those. Also try not to overuse your brushes. Use them when needed, but don't get used to making backgrounds with just brushes.

Also, try to maintain composition and focal. For example some of your tags are really good, but they distract me, so instead of me focusing on one thing, my yes tend to want to read and look around instead of me just focusing on your main idea. Don't be afraid of putting your text close to your focal, and blend it well. Right click on the text layer, blending options, then add some glowing effects (try to have your glowing with some colors from your background so it wont stand out too much) Just a few tips a lot of people don't mention, if you execute them right, you can gain good results.. good luck man, and keep at it.


Also, give photoshop a try. Might be a bit more intimidating than GIMP, but once you get used to it, you'll find that is actually a pretty simple software to use, with a lot of great tools.

Cheers mate that is some really good advice, I've heard a lot about gradient maps etc.. but i need to learn to use them. I will look up tutorials tonight once i get back from school.

Thanks for all the C'n'C.

[MykyBee]

Yeah bruh, reading's always good. Gradient maps are easy to use. A gradient is a variation of 2 or more colors which usually fade or mix with eachother. They can give life and color to your work or they can totally ruin it. So you have to be careful when using it. All you do is go to layers > Adjustment Layers > Gradient map and pick your colors.. This would drop a gradient of whatever colors you chose into your layer. Then make sure you blend it well.. Click on the blending options and use soft light, luminosity, overlay, ect and adjust the opacity.. play with them until you find something that's good.. Also, sometimes is good to just leave them on normal and lower the opacity.. But again be careful when using them or they can make your sig too monotone.. Gl.
