Photoshop Meddlings V2

Your sigs are simply beautiful. I loved the white style ones because they look like a painting as someone mentioned earlier. You have a variety of styles, which is great for an artist to have. What is your secret? Could you give me some tips?

I think my favorite is the mew one because of the vibrant colors that tends to match the style of the render. You could actually picture mew having that power. The only thing you need to work on is probably the text. Your text placement is fine, but some of it tends to be too plain compared to the signature. I also need to work on text so it's not a big deal. Other than that, great work!
 
Thanks for all the lovely comments ^^

Avatar I made that won AOTW ^^

Fashion SOTW entry -

I totally haven't made anything for ages. I need to get back ion the swing of Photoshop. :gasp:
 
There's a few that really stand out here Mark, I really LOVE your Rydia banner, the brushing is really well and it's very well present

Being a Zidane fanboy, I really like your Zidane banner, the colours of the banner itself is really well and everything looks really great!!!!

You're first Fran banner is another that really stands out for me, the colours go really well with the render chosen!!!

I really love the Crisis Core banner with Zack and Aerith, your brushing here fits the theme of love really well as it reminds me of a Sonogram *blush*

I like the red and blue used in the Kefka banner, it makes Kefka really POP and the font is simple but great!
 
Thank you for the comments Freddy.

Here's everything I've made since my last update. Not a lot, I've been on such a slump lately xD

:hmmm: I'm not sure what it is but I think you might be over blending your stocks. It looks kinda weird when her arm is sticking outwards and then parts of the background are spreading onto her elbow area. It gives the feeling that she's moving into the tag rather than out of it.

Other than that I think it's a nice tag. I would just say try and mix it up and try to create different effects. Maybe using some more stocks set various blending modes or adding some textures just to make it look that little bit more interesting.
 

I agree with Graye in the sense that it looks like Stevie is moving into the banner rather than out of it...

BUT I think that's what I love about it... It makes me think she is being taken over by the effects of your brushing, for me I think it works... It's like she's being drawn into the banner rathe rthan popping out of it...

GREAT WORK!
 

Love the avatar. I love the blue haze over it. It looks nice and soft. Cute and simple. =)

The signature is really pretty!

Lovely reds used and I like the shadow over her face. It makes it feel mysterious.

The texture in the background looks lovely and the text is nice, though I think the font could be improved.

Great work!
 
Thanks for the comments guys ^^

I've been on a slump still, just making things if I have to (for SOTW) or when I'm feeling inspired and really want to get something out of an image -

amg. The Kain and Stevie sigs are AMAAZING. They ALL are ofc, but the Kain and Stevie ones... :jess: I love the glittery effect around Stevie. It's so ethereal and preeetttyyyy. I also really like the effect coming from the bottom of the Kain sig... that looks REALLY neat. Great work! I really like the style you've been working with. :se7:
 
Here's my most recent stuff, it's not a huge update, since I've been in a slump lately.

Made in a rush for the Nursery Rhyme SOTW, just made it for the sake of having a SOTW really >_>

Made for SOTW - I'm gonna tweak it later, since trying to make it Purple annoyed me, I wanted to go in a different direction, but then it wouldn't match the theme -

i love love LOVE the lightning one. truly. the colors on it are fantastic. the moogle one is really good, too. actually...they're all really good :hmmm: Lightning is def my fav though.
 
I think the Lightning one and the Moogle one are the best. The moogle one is just fantastic :jess: I love the background

I REALLY like the effect around Lightning's sword as well.

I really like the direction you are going with for the Effects. Keep it up!! :se7:

:surprised: wowwwww.....i love these! Especially the Vanille one, it really fits her personality. Fang's one is great too, and if the lightning one didn't have rotated text I would be absolutely speechless. awesome job my friend. bloody awesome job.

I can't pick a favourite. Gods above, I love all of these. I mean it's just an explosion of colour, from Vanille's soft pinks to Fang's stormy oranges. And the renders . . . you have a way with implementing them so that they don't ever overpower your stocks. Seamless blending, you do have. And yes Yoda-speak I do tend to type in when I'm excited. Your Lightning sig just left me speechless. I love that shade of blue and the slanted text was perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. :gasp:
 
I must say Mark, your tags are great, and you utilize the general colors and the shades that come with them quite nicely, but I think that you have to work a little on the brightness. I noticed that in a few of your tags:

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the tags aren't good; quite the opposite however. They are greatly well-done, and the compsition is just supurb. but it's just the brightness that doesn't make them perfect. If you were able to find a balance between brightness and darkness, then you'll have a great style no doubt.
 
ooohhhhh! I really like this latest update. The new Stevie sig is AMAZING. I really like the purple and orange half circles around her near the bottom, and the background is lovely. The Belle signature is lovely as well... the only issue I have with it is the pink squares in the background... they seem really out of place to me :hmmm:

I LOVE the top one with the girl with the New York shirt. I love the bursts of colored light around her... it looks lovely, and I like the little sidebar thing as well. The GaGa signature is wonderful! I love how she sort of blends right into it... it looks really awesome! Keep up the good work dearie! :se7:
