The Claw's Portfolio
by Jaguaris Sat Jan 03, 2009 11:01 am
Well guys, I got a copy of Photoshop CS2 and I made this:
I think it looks okay. It took me one hour to make and I had no skills whatsoever. Any constructive criticism is appreciated. K thnx.
PS: YES THE MATTE IS TERRIBLE!

Well... the fact Master Chief sticks out 2 inches out of the sig is kind of bad... most I recommend is like 1cm max D:
Plus Master Chief is a greyish orange, when the sig is blue, so the colors really don't match. The background itself is pretty cool though. The text font is really ugh.., and it's too big... you should try to disguise it or something.
Besides the BG and chief there's like nothing else going on X__x
Try adding lighting or something.
It was your first though so gj.

Once again, WAY TOO BIG. No one could use that as a sig. Gah!
#2.) The font is really ugh... and really big. You need to disguise it or something, or at least make it fit with the sig.
#3.) There is no flow in this sig, or lighting. It's hard to look at since everything in it is pitch black or dark purple. You need to add lighting to add more color and flow into the signature. Everything here just looks like it's motionless... and bleh.
#4.) Shadow is taking up more than half of the sig. I know it's the focus point, but it's WAAAY too big. You need him to be affecting the sig somehow, and have him much smaller. This would also help if the sig was a good size.
The good things are that the colors, however dark and hard to see, blend well together. Plus the background was kind of nice.

Halo sig is decent, although the font could use more style and the colors shouldn't be so contrasting.
The Shadow also good, but should be reduced in size, and not so dark; it's actually a bit hard to see clearly.
Good progress so far, though. With more experience, you'll create even better artworks.

Wasnt trying to be mean, just following orders. Plus they said the exact same things I did, just less blunt and detailed.
I did say gj and pointed out a couple of good things <.<

[voice=yugiohabridgedhenchman]Oi, boss... You know you're not actually in America, right?[/voice]
[voice=Zeph]The lighting is terrible. You could have picked a better font, too. The color matching I would describe as "bleah." I would, of course, recommend making it much smaller. Add some C4D's too. Make the focal point of the image smaller.[/voice]

That's pretty good. Acceptable size, still a little large for my tastes but whatevs XD
The font for this one is okay, but it's really huge and looks bad imo.
There's nothing going on in the sig. There's not even a bg. No the luminescent knuckles doesn't count. Make something happening... c4ds, flow, lighting... all that stuff makes this kind of thing epic.
Right now you have the perfect basis for an epic sig, if you balance and add all of the things I said above.
BTW gratz on an actually good matte ^_^

Well, I used to save it as a JPEG but Zach told me to save it as PNG so the matte is transparent. Yarly. Also I made another even though they aren't perfect.
I also fixed Sonic and Shadow:

I'll try
Well... you hid the text nicely, which is good... and you made some sort of background.
I would suggest improving on this type of background, adding more effects, and once again I'm pushing the lighting and flow aspect. Flow as in, what do you feel the direction is going when you look at the sig? Movement makes sigs so much more appealing. Lighting and flow can go hand in hand, if you lookit my sig
Just have a little more going on, and add a little more color. You don't need that full redish color throughout the entire sig. Yellow, and orange work well to XD
I know there's a little of that but for the eye it doesn't really offer that much difference.
Did a pretty nice job ;D

Hmm, I'll try and add a bit more flavor to it. with sum other colors. And I'll try to add some sort of flow. Remember, only 48 hours of experience, you can't blame me. Maybe I'll need some custom brushes. Do you know where I can get some?

Just type in:"Photoshop Brushes" onto google and you'll find tons of sites just for that purpose. As for stock photos, Devianart has tons of awesome stock photos.
