Photoshop Meddlings V2

[Six]

Debbie Harry is the one I prefer out of your latest update. The first one looked a little plain to me.

Second one, I wasn't really feeling the smokey textures at the sides, but... for some reason, along with the blue text, it made me think 'Canada'? I have no idea...

Love the font you used, it works really well with the signature. Nice lightning going on, and not too many side effects, although... I think it could've used a little more...

When I first saw your sig I was like, no way, Mark without a Stevie signature. It's well weird.

Been ridiculously busy lately, so I've had next to zero time in Photoshop, so here's a tiny update -

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

This one is simply gorgeous.

You've blended her in brilliantly with the background and I love how well lit the text is!

The only problem that I see in it, is that it's very red.

It's seems a bit bland due to that. Maybe if there were a few more different shades of red used it would stand out a bit more.

Other than that it's gorgeous. =D

 

[Lebreau]

Right. So. Starkiller. I like it. The text looks pretty awesome, and the bars under it do too. I lov ethe background so much too, it's so busy and pretty. I'm not sure if this is just the school computer failing or not, but a bit of it is pixely or something and I'm not sure I like that.

I love the splatters around her on this one <3 It's so different from what I usually expect from you, and that's amazing. The lines behind her just fading out is a bit odd, I think I would've tried to extend them farther. I also don't like the yellow hair in the last image on the bar, it just looks horribly out of place to me... maybe a different image would've suited better.

This WIP is pretty! I love the shiny crap around her and would love to see this finished. The only problem I have with it is Her face/hair looking like they have a few quality issues. A bit of blurring might fix that though. Just noticed it on her hand as well. =[

I have to agree with Kira on the text here. It would've been much better in a different color, but I really like the placement. You could try putting the text under the pink glowy stuff to tint it slightly, that might look better. The bright white thing on her arm/hair is distracting too, and doesn't really fit in with the pink and yellows of the rest of the sig imo... it's too bright.

This sig looks kinda empty on the right side, but that text... I love it for some reason. XD Maybe if it was a bit smaller it wouldn't look as empty. It's so simple and that's not usual from you, but again... I love it. XD Not sure where the blue text came from though.. I think I would've gone purple.

Oh my, I love this. The blurred backgrounds and the cloudy stuff... it's so not normal from you. XDD I think Ilike this one more than the one above since it's got more in it. The colors on her face look a bit too strong, maybe, but I still love it. Not sure where the blue text came from either but I think it works so I won't complain

I'm convinced that's an elaborate cape. Anyways. This one's a loooot simpler too, and I think it could almost do with more. Simple's good.. but too simple isn't. I love the text, though. You make text in these little rectangles that I like. XD

Random blue light in the corner, distracting me D: Other than that, the shiny spheres are just gorgeous, and the text matches nicely. I might've lowered the opacity/darkened it just a little, but I like it this way too. I really love the small text behind the main text too. <3

VANESSA <3 This sig is just gorgeous. I love the faded red tones of it, and the bright light on the text. I can't actually find anything big enough for me to pick on here. Maybe my like of the character is blinding me.

 

[Daenerys]

Thanks for the comments! I haven't updated for ages, so here's a semi-largeish update. I've been in a bit of a slump lately... so some of these aren't fabulous. Most of them are mainly WIPs that I have no idea what to do with next, too.

 

[Smiley]

wooooooooooowwwwwwwwwww, i love these!!!!!

Overall I thought that this was very well done. I was never a big fan of the duplicate on the side thing, always thought it was a bit distracting, but that's just me. Loving the subtle effects around her, as a piece I think it needs a tad more colour. Try a gradient map on soft light to get a bot more colour and diverse lighting into it

This is very interesting. again, I love the effects and that blue brush...i just realised is a flower...but it is still very intriguing. I noticed the letters "LE" and that's about it. I think it would be nice if you made it a tad more noticable

This...is quite awesome tbh. The colours are really nice and they go together quite well. The left side is a bit empty, but some text should fix that

You really like big signatures don't you? ANYWAY, this is nice...incredibly nice. The brushes go together quite well and it works overall. good job

I did like this quite a bit when I saw it in SOTW, I thought it was very nice. The one thing that could be improved is the text. I didn't really think the font suited the sig, then again, I don't know how to fix that...

This, this is quite nice. I like the colours, but the sig is a bit too dark for how light the render is...just a tad. Still, very nice sig

Again, love the effects, love the border and absolutely LOVE the text! hehehe
I think this sig is very well done, it has that simple thing that I like, without actually being a simply made sig. Well done

OMG!!! I love it. The slight blurring to really emphasise the render looks stunning! as usual, I love the effects used, and the text looks pretty damn awesome. Interesting border. Nice work!

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

I really liked what you did with this one. All those pretty colours coming from the headdress look very pretty and make you focus on the person more.

The space over on the left is very empty though. Text would fit in very nicely here and make it look less unfinished in my opinion.

Other than that it's a very pretty piece. <3

 

[Daenerys]

Been photoshopping quite a bit lately. Trying to get back into the swing of things. Huuuge update commencing.

SOTW entry. I tried so hard to get the effects around her without leaving that white line, but, it was pissing me off and time was running out, so, alas, I couldn't quite fix it. If it was a render, it would have been easier, but I didn't have the time/patience/skill to render Brittany, which I should have done.

I've always loved this stock, and thought it would work better with a bigger canvas, which I'm really enjoying using at the moment;

This one, I was just really inspired when I made it and, truthfully, I just wanted an excuse to use the font Jess sent;

This one is a WIP that I've sorta hit a dead end with... people in DW are helping me out with it though, so stay tuned for the final product;

And this one, I made for the lovely Tia <3

SOTW entry that I was actually quite pleased with, I've always loved this picture of Voldemort and wanted to try a horizontal tag with it;

The obligatory Stevie tags;

Made this one when I was quite bored, just picked one of my favourite renders that I hadn't used for ages;

Request from Sonny. Not entirely happy with this, can't quite put my finger on it;

LP I'm sorta working on... not really sure where to go with it;

WIP for a callout that I'm not entirely sure whether I love or despise;

Been playing FF a lot lately, so I got really inspired to make this tag of Aerith. I'm not happy with the text at all, I used a text brush and had to make it bigger.. but I'm not happy with the result;

 

[Six]

If you have the font Luna Bar, and Maiandra GD, place the Maiandra at the bottom, space between each letter, font size 12, ( F i n a l F a n t a s y V I I ) and Aerith in Luna Bar font size 32, I just checked it, seeing if it looks nice, it looks nicely stacked, so placing that right next to her right shoulder, I think you'd like that. You should try it.

Really liking the piece, just not the text brush. xD Try giving the text like the brownish colour of her face. IF you still have the PSD that is. xD

 

[Daenerys]

Excellent suggestion, Kira I did just what you said, and I think it turned out rather wonderfully, if I do say so myself;

I keep all my PSDs, I have all of them going back to April 2008

 

[Six]

Yes! That looks awesome. I think a lighter tint would've suited it even better, but this looks like a major improvement, and no crappy text brushes!

 

[Sora-kun]

I really like that one you have of Aeirth. The focus on the eyes is great. And I also like the one of Voldermort. That dark to light contrast works very well with the picture. Job well done!

 

[Daenerys]

Thanks for the comments, guys. Really appreciate them ^^

Been in quite a photoshop mood lately

Sepia and coloured versions here;

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Both of these are my favourite from the last update.

I especially like the Gaga one.

Nice patterns behind her in the background and I like the texture of the patterns too.

The paint splatters work in well with it and the dark lighting on Gaga looks awesome!

Keep up the awesome work!

 

[Daenerys]

Updaaate:

 

[Six]

My personal thought, is that I think no text would've complimented this signature better, however, as far as the signature goes. Stunning colours used. I think you sharpened enough to bring out the focal, and the colours you've used (once again) are just stunning. The thick border compliments it very nicely.

 

[Daenerys]

Huge updaaate. Made the majority of these over the past two/three days, I've been in a really photoshoppy mood lately

 

[Sexy Beast]

Out of your update, I like this one the most. It has the depth, and lighting that I absolutely adore in sigs. the effects used flow great together, and you didn't overclutter or over-lighten anything. so, great job on that one, Mark.

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

I really love this signature. <3

It's so pretty! The colours are so vibrant and the lighting makes it look so nice and glossy. <3

Love the image you've used and the background is nice and simple and really creates a nice atmosphere.

The text goes nicely with the signature but I think a more handwritten font would look stunning with this piece. =)

Great work!
