Mitsuki's Photoshop Beginnings

[Casanova]

Been reading tutorials, have we? :cassy:

Your latest work is very artistic, different to what I'm used to seeing from you but in the best possible way, really. You've obviously been experimenting and it all works. Great colour schemes, great text usage, great border placement.

All in all, I love it. Well done.

 

[Mitsuki]

Not really. Yeah I looked at some but I cannot seem to follow one successfully and tend to lose my way after the 5th step. xD The only one that I followed successfully was a button tutorial, and even then I'm still missing a few steps, but I just improvised. xD One step took me over 30 minutes to finally figure out. >.> That's what I dislike about tutorials...they expect you to know everything.

Anyway here's a few more updates.

Tada, button button button!

Meh, not too crazy about this, although I do like the slightly 3D reflected-look to it. (2nd layer).

A bit too dark, but I wanted to bring out that focus on the character.

A bit different style here. More clean and just a very simple design.

Request for someone. I think this is my first time working with grunge...so I'm not too sure about this particular one. I probably should've done without the subtle scanlines.

The best of the bunch!

1: I recognize the sig. I love the glossy effect on it and the tilted border is just so unique.

2: Like I said in LP.

3: I fell in love with this tag. Seriously. Great image and great colors. It's so pretty.

 

[Mitsuki]

Thank you, Coco. ^^

Anyway some updates. I feel like I'm slacking with GFX lately and had gotten pretty rusty. =/ Dunno if inspiration is just not kicking in or what.

^^ Tried something different with text this time.


And this one is my 2nd LP. A little too dark, I know, but lately I've taken a fancy to darker themes.

 

[Daenerys]

Definitely your best piece yet. I love it. Everything flows together so well! I especially love the text :3

 

[Mitsuki]

Thank you. ^^

And here's a few more updates. Man I'm on a roll this week.

All of these are requests I did, except the Smallville one and last two avatars.

 

[Leonheartas]

Im instantly in love with your work, because you've done a smallville GFX

No but seriously, I love your Vivi one, everything blends together so well and Vivi stands out just right. The Smallville one is very clever, you managed to get all the characters in the right place IMO, and the Smallville lettering in the background works really well.

Tom.

 

[Mitsuki]

Thanks, although that Smallville one is actually a render, so the character placement was already that way to begin with. xD

Anyway, here's Darth.

Not too sure about this one.

 

[Warbsywoo]

When you first see it, you go: "What is that thing?" And it takes you a couple seconds to realize that it's Darth Vader. Dunno if that's a bad thing or not.

I see you tried to blur the hand a bit (if you didn't, my bad ) but it's the shine that draws my eye away from the head. I don't know if moving the whole stock to the right a bit might help that out.

Like the colors though.

EDIT: Or make the hand dimmer and the head shinier? Dunno.

 

[Captain Jack]

HUGS MITS I LOVE DARTH VADER *dons his suit and lightsaber* hahahaha nice work

 

[ZidaneTribal]

Wow, loving the Vivi one. I envy the lucky person who you made that for. Oh, that would be me And btw, I love most of your work.

I've been meaning to try making some sigs myself but Photoshop seems way too complicated Oh well.

 

[Mitsuki]

Thanks for the C&C. ^^

And time for updates. There's quite a few.

This is probably one of my favorite tag. xD Took me over two hours to do this, and at first I didn't really have anything in mind, but as I experimented around, it came down to this. I'm definitely satisfied with it.

Made this for Decado. He wanted "clinical colors" so my color theme was quite limited. There's not too much effects since he wanted something "professional-looking" which I hope I achieved here.

Second version. I couldn't find a decent House logo so I had to create it myself. I think it's close enough. =/

Finally figured out how to do animated signatures! It's a pain, but here's my first try. Quality sucks since it's a .gif file.

 

[Fusionist]

*salivates* Damn, such sexy sigs ^^

I love how clean your sigs look and you make good use of effects without going overboard.

Your gif attempt is far from bad, so give yourself more credit dear. The light to dark makes sense, so good call on that ^^

 

[GFX Guilder]

It looks like you went Crisis Core crazy at the end..lol

The .gif sig wasn't bad at alll, it was pretty dang good for a first

 

[Kivist]

I was just looking through all your work and I must say, I love your graphics! Great use of color and smoothness you have going here. My personal favorite is this one:

I haven't made an animated signature in a loooonnnggg time now that I have seen this. Brings back good memories for me. Hope to see more from you soon!

 

[Mitsuki]

I haven't updated in two months. Kinda took a little break back in Dec. but I'm slowly getting back to it. I can't really say there's a major improvement. I feel like I've stayed in the same spot/style and it's a little frustrating. But here's the updates.

Thoughts? Comments?

 

[Aztec Triogal]

I still absolutely adore your first Vivi sig. I don't want to downplay the others, because they're all incredibly fantastic but that Vivi one always catches my eye. You did such an incredible job with it. It's probably one of the very best I have ever seen in all the years I've sifted through people's online artworks. It really is the cream of the crop.

 

[Rey]

Mitsuki I do notknow what to say. I love every one of your siggys and they are all just so baeautiful or let me say sexy. Why are ye so good at this lol?

 

[Daenerys]

What I like most about your signatures Mitsuki, is that you have a very distinct style, but all your signatures look unique and professional. You can work with real people and cartoon/anime/video game characters, and that's a rare skill - most people suck at one or the other, but you're amazing at both.

I'd say your best work are your darker pieces, as there's always something subtle and unique about them, but your light pieces are always happy and pretty - like, your signatures match the mood you want them to convey.

 

[Darkbeat]

Ehr like...whoa!!!

That's pretty much how I am looking now at your tags Mitsuki. They're plain amazing and like General Beatrix said, you have a distinct style and your work with different kind of stocks is awesome to see. Your darker works have a nice touch, they're not my favourite though but overall it's obvious you have skills.

Kudos to you!
