[Toasty]

Not really. I can't use brushes the way you do. I only really work with filters/effects and borders. Though the avatar is actually made up of two different fractals which I then zoom blurred. Paint.NET doesn't have a sharpen/blur touch up tool though, which forces me to open up the file in Photostudio 5 and work on it a bit in there once in a while.

But the set is something I made quite some time ago. When I thought about using it again, the colors looked bland to me so I threw some filters at it. The avatar is new though.

ANYWAY.

I don't know where the character's from, but I like how the colors don't just transition with a plain gradient. The avatar goes well with the Sig too. 10/10

[Laharl]

rate mah Yoko goodness plz

[Split Infinity]

Sig looks fantastic, though I have no idea what that furry thing is supposed to be. xD

You should have shrunk the avatar to 100px though, because the forum resize looks terrible.

[Drizzy Drake]

Avy is nice. Not to fancy. Sig is bland, but funny.

Avy-7
Sig-7
Overall-8. How's that for a mindfuck?

EDIT-Whoever does mine, I realise they don't match.

[Gio]

I am definitely not a pro at rating these things, but why not..

I like that fact that your avy is moving. And it doesn't bother me that your set doesn't match so I am going to say 7.5/10 for the set

7 for the avy
8 for the sig.

[Kuchiyose]

hmmmmmmmmm

I love Gio sig, the colors and the effects are amazing, and as well as the text (I can never really figure how people make them that epic) and as well its Falco :P he's an awesome character:

10 for Sig
9 for Av

[Split Infinity]

Why is it that people tend to use PNGs as sigs and JPGs as avatars when, in terms of filesize, it should be the other way around?

[Kuchiyose]

hahaha good point xD And randomly I've done that xD

[Someone Else]

Av: Boobs/10
Sig: boobs/10

Keep up the good work. :P Could use some borders though.

[Someone Else]

Set needs some more tweaking, I know. I cropped as much of the sig's image as I could stand. It's smaller than Blue's, at least. I'm also thinking about saturating the avatar's colors a bit to match the sig's color scheme.

[Laharl]

the sig is ripped from the cover of the crisis core OST, which looked fine as it was. 7/10

yay new sig, old avatar

[Drizzy Drake]

i rrly like your new setup. the warm colours just strike out at you.

avy...7/10

sig...9/10

[Yuki]

;D

Riad and I match. <3

Baw.

Dipset, your sig is like...really patriotic. And I don't like it. But the graphics are cool, so 7/10.

As for your avatar...well...it has Cloud, so 8/10.

xD

Overall, 8/10.

[Neo]

New "return", new set. Anyone likes it?

[Caael]

The avatar doesnt match the sig in terms of effects and contrast, but the sig is incredible! I'd love to know how you got that background effect, is it just layering brushes over each other or something else?

9/10

[Neo]

Indeed. At this signature I even kept it really simple! Just had the background image as a whole (didnt cut the skeleton from the background, just put in the whole image), and simply layered the brushes on top of it, as you said. The firs tone, black, had it's blending mode on normal. All the others on top of that either Overlay or Soft Light.

[Split Infinity]

Do not want unnecessarily low quality sig.

[Valistrix]

Looks good so far. The text blends nicely with the current background.

As for your current set, easily a 10/10. Good job.

[Saturos S.]

I just spent 5 minutes staring at those two pics trying to see the difference.

...then I realised your just already using it as a sig.

[Golden Legacy]

I claim no credit for this set, it's based on Final Fantasy VIII.

[Tasuki]

I made the my sig after seeing the avatar on a Yggdra Union site

[Caael]

Tasuki, they dont really fit well together. And the sig is blurred too much so you cant even read the text. Make an avatar that fits the sig, or a sig that fits the avatar, and unblur them and it'll look a lot better.

[Moonear]

Caael, I like the background of your sig, it's really awesome and goes well with the font and color of the letters. If you could make a fiery avatar to go with that, it would be amazing.

[Caael]

Oh yeah, after finishing the sig I completely forgot about the avatar.

Thanks for the comments :D

[Mallick]

Sig text'd look better with a border. Maybe.

[Split Infinity]

It does have a border.

[Fury]

Avatar: 10/10

Sig: just a bunch of text

[Viridian Tiger]

I have a terrible avatar and sig, due to lack of photoshop and whatnot.
Tell me what you think of it anyway.

[Xelina]

It is a really pretty sig, but the black that mets the sky is so straight... You'll need something there to break it up or make the road more apparent then the dark shade it is. your ava match but you'll need a little black in it to make it look more like the sig.

I like it over all, but it needs just a tad bit more work to make it an awesome sig. C:

7/10

P.S: I like oddly shaped sigs more then the traditional box. C:

[Lightning Star]

Wow, are you really serious? This thread died in November? You people make me sadface!

I just thought I'd share this set for old times sake. Yep. This was my first set on gssf (Im glad I didn't delete it off my photobucket album)

I also have one that I made for PERCY when he was PDM, but that was so long ago... ;)

Well, no one was making any new sets, and everyone had already had their sets rated. Posting in here became pointless.

Anywho, finished mah sig. Yeah yeah, everybody's using the same art. Don't care. I had already spent enough time on this thing by the time I realized other people had the same idea.

Avatar coming soon. Done. Probably change it later though.

[Split Infinity]

Avatar sucks, you might as well have just resized the sig.

The sig itself looks great though, if a little on the cliche side. And fix that name. D:

8/10

[Someone Else]

Fuggin' sweet sig.

I want to get a GS themed set now, but there isn't a lot of material now =(

I suppose I could try to make an Ivan-themed set with old art of the old games but I'm not the Ivan fanboy I used to be.

[Drizzy Drake]

The girl's uniform's sexy.

Noooo. GS3>>>>GSDS

The avatar was pretty much just thrown together compared to the time I spent doing conditional hue and saturation on the sig (Garet/whatever took the most time to change the colorm the other two weren't quite as bad).

I just didn't want to choose only one face for the avatar.

I just wanted to point out the ambiguity. :B

Help me with the rest of it darn you!

[Split Infinity]

Well, I'd save a better quality JPG to start with...

[Toasty]

One tip for resizing:

If the resizing tool sucks and produces sharp edges, a little gaussian blur before the resize will do wonders. I had that problem when making my current set, and that's how I fixed it.

Also, try adjust the hue/saturation and color levels to bring some body back into Felix's picture. Adjusting the brightness and contrast a bit too couldn't hurt.

I still cba to make a new avatar.

Any suggestions on what I should use? One mug, or all three?

[Split Infinity]

Use the third one, suits you best. xP

[Toasty]

Haha. Hahahahaha.


Maybe.

[FusionDragon28]

Decided to remake a siggy I had years ago.

I've never been good at making images so......yeah.

FD28

[Golden Legacy]

Looks nice FD. The red/green background is excellent. The images you chose for the Pokemon and Oak stand out well. I'd make the red-orange color darker, make it a slightly deeper red. I'd shrink the text also, but overall quite nice. I'd give it a 3.5 or a 4, out of 5.

[Toasty]

I suggest you almost never use bright green in a sig. Same goes for mixing bright green with orange.

Psychedelic colors, duuude.

[Someone Else]

Kind of a rookie photoshop effect. I don't really like the color choice, but it isn't BAD.

[Neo]

A come-back for me, so that also requires a new set. It was done fairly quick, max 10 minutes. Personally don't dislike it.

WD - Link, always does the trick! But overall the set is kind of plain. Secondly I'm not that fond of the sizes, but that's just me ;). I'd say 7/10

Darksword - Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't you had that signature for decades now? Looks funny, though a bit unclear. 7/10

Toasty - Very nice. Good quality and I like the transparent corners. Looks really good. 9/10

[Legolastom]

What about mah sig?

Its a bit smaller than I remember it for some reason.

[Toasty]

Very nice. The colors go pretty well together. Makes for a good theme. 8/10

@Neo

The hardest part about my sig was resizing the pictures without getting horribly aliased results.

As for WD's sig, I'm pretty sure I made that one. Just added a border and did a slight recolor. That's all he wanted iirc.

[Lightning Star]

It's nice to see more graphic talent

Neo: I'm loving the blending, but the red on the right sort of outweighs the left side. May I suggest a little bit of color or contrast on the left side to even out the composition? Otherwise, sweet set. 7.5/10

Legolastorm: I love the retro grunge look and the muted colors you used. I've always been a fan of the light blue/light yellow color combination. The only thing I would change is make the lines above and below a version of the red color on his scarf, maybe a bit darker. Other than that, looks great. 8/10

Toasty: I don't see why everyone's complaining--I love the three-dimensionality and the bright, vivid colors. Really grabs your attention, but is asthetically pleasing to look at. And I agree, GS3 > GS DS. 8/10


As for mine, Just rate the sig. I didn't make the avatar, and I don't mean for them to go together.

[Toasty]

Who's complaining? I think you misread some of the posts on the last page.

As for your sig Icy, it looks good, but I think it could use a bit more contrast. Too many light colors. Also, I can barely tell that the border is there. The right side of it is practically invisible. 8/10 for the moment


However, as for mine, I'm starting to think I over-did the color saturation a bit...
As for the gradient/3D border on mine, it's just the byproduct of a quick and dirty tool for creating borders/outlines in Paint.NET. I think it looks better than anything I could've hand-done, though.

[Lightning Star]

That's funny, 'cause I kicked up the contrast on this baby so much X3 But I may go back and fix the border, like you suggested.

Hmm, the saturation looks good in my opinion, but I do guess garet's clone looks a little drowned in the red...

[Toasty]

Yeah, I didn't like the color of his clothes so instead of keeping them the same as I did for the other two, I adjusted the color to be more reddish. I suppose I could always go back and change that though. If not just to see what it looks like.

Anyway, I'd suggest playing with the luminosity to be honest. That's probably your best bet.

[Lightning Star]

I made a new one! ^^

I decided not to bother editing the old one--I didn't like it that much anyways (though I did want to make a sig with Kushina in it)

I love this picture so I made a sig out of it.

[Drizzy Drake]

Could I have a sig Icy? Pretty please. I'll accept yaoi as a legitimate form of entertainment xD

[Lightning Star]

I was about to say no but you totally just changed my mind :P (Although I admit I'm starting to lean towards yuri lately D:)

Best thing to happen to rap & RnB in a looooong time.

[Neo]

Drizzy:
good: Background, render cut properly
bad: Can't read the text, no border.
Overall I'd give it a 7. Not bad at all.

[Drizzy Drake]

This sigs a little flashy, and Icy's should be better. but thanks brah. im digging the sig alot, but the avys just.. the sig. lol.

Yeh you're right. It's lame... but I was just way too lazy at the time hehe. I'm going to make a new set tomorrow, and put some more time in that one.


EDIT: New set! First time ever I made a signature without the use of brushes. Took me some time and I also had to check on a few tutorials to learn a few funky tricks. I'd love to get some critics on this one, since it was very fun to work on, and if it's a success I'll try more of these in the future.

[Toasty]

I think it looks good, but the little bit of lady off on the left side looks kinda weird. 9/10


Just made an awesome, badass new set. Check it, yo.

[Drizzy Drake]

didn`t g-dubb make that...

[Toasty]

No, he gave me the idea. I made. So hush up and rate it yo.

[Mallick]

The effects are too much, and the text isn't very legible. 5/10

[Toasty]

The text was even harder to read at first. Did my best to make it legible.

And there's only one effect. It's an overlay of a red/yellow diamond pattern. After that, I just adjusted luminosity and saturation. And that's pretty much it.

Though I suppose the diamond pattern was a bit much.

[Ironsight]

It is. Fix it before I go cross eyed.

[Thanatos]

Mine is simple enough as is.
Bash it as you like =P

[Caael]

I'm gonna make a pyro sig to go with the awesome faces avatar. Dont expect wonders.

I got a new set based on Mumbo Jumbo from the Banjo Kazooie series because he was one of my favorite characters when I was growing up. What do you think? All credit goes to Caael.
