well... some one overstreched zero so it dosen't look too great. and the flash should be covered a more. (use a red, colour burn brush to cover)

co..... so.... 6/10

[Astra]

Someone rate my MMZ sig please.

my suggestions...first of all, i'm not going to rate it because i want to critique it:

1) the render it stretched and should be flattened a tad more.

2) it's not blended at all, it looks like to made a background and just slapped the render in between to brushed layers.

3) there's no depth

4) the flow is off

5) there's no really lighting

how to fix these things...

1) just move the render close together to make it look less stretched, hold down 'shift' while doing this to preserve the quality.

2) try messing around with the render a little more...such as making a bunch of copies of it, then motion blur some at about 20-40 using the same motion as the flow of your sig...(i'll get to flow in a second) then with the top render layers, use a small eraser tool with an opacity around 30% and lightly (which soft grunge or could brushes) brush around the render.

3) try blurring the background with the blur tool, or maybe just a little around your render, and try applying the image, and sharpening it a bit, then go edit > fade sharpen and lower it to 50%.

4) Zero is moving in a different direction that you have the background moving...when you add your brushes...try the move tool, and press ctrl + T and move your brush strokes around a little...to get it to match the motion Zero is moving....this can get tedious after the 20th layers or so, but it's makes it look a lot better...

and

5) the hand with the light touching the sword is not blended at all first of all...but you don't really want that to be your light source...so just darken that and blend it a bit more. now for lighting...find a good place for a light source...i usually do it behind my render, or behind and to the side a little...then take out some soft grunge or soft cloud brushes using white, just brush in a light source...set that layer to soft light, or lighten, whichever looks better.

Daichi: your sig is pretty dark, it needs some light or a light source...i recommend adjustment layers, just play around with those for while. 7/10

hey.... I ment it to be dark. he is hiding in the shadows....


btw... your sig is not working. use multiplephotobucket accounts to avoid that.

Thank you for the advice. It helped out a lot.
Anyways I made a new Nero sig. By refrencing a tut I found and with Asta's advice.

Astra: I don't know if you care but heres a good tut site. http://psprofessor.orgfree.com/index.html
Also you can find a lot of good renders and c4d's here: http://planetrenders.net/
Ok can someone rate my new Nero sig?

[Astra]

You're welcome...for reference though...i give Saya credit for teaching me most of that stuff...

anyways...i've never seen that site before.

yeah...i depend on C4Ds...but for my renders, i use animerender.com. i used to use planetrender.com, but scrolled through every page and got all the render i needed, then moved on to another site XD

your sig- 9/10

the render is blended because the background color matches the render...try a gradient map or two, then lower the opacity, and set that layer to 'color' the lighting is pretty good, and the depth is good. the flow is decent...if it was my sig, i'd move the text to the lower left, but the text style matches, and fits nicely with the sig.

i have a new one today testing out a new style. can some one rate it please?

[azureeagle]

I love the sig, I liked how you made the background seem if winds were blowing leaves around.
Sig: 9/10
Can someone rate my Avi and Sig( I made them My Self.)

[Daichi]

Avi - 5/10

kay so this is my Avatar on TPL, another awesome forum of mine. Tell me what you think. Its Made with The GImp, on Windows 2000 and an underlighted Monitor. If I still had my awesome $1,0000 pc I could do a lot better job, but for now on this really old machine this is the best it can spit out. Any response is much apreciated and MAybe some pointers too?

[Astra]

5/10 slow, laggy...and WAY over contrasted.

sig: 8/10...random imaged put together...

avi: 10/10 very, very good....i really like your avi.

new sig i'd like rating:

i realize the top of the head isn't blended good enough...

[Revo]

mmm to be honest, you render isn't really too blended in to the siggy....





someone rate mine

[Kyero Fox]

Wow that one is really nice. coulda added a bit more tho I give it a 9/10 would be a perfect 10 if there was atleast one mroe pic of AK in it.

rate mine plz!

[Revo]

the quote is awesome and the background is interesting, not boring at all !

id say 8/10

[Astra]

i realize the top of the head isn't blended good enough...

mmm to be honest, you render isn't really too blended in to the siggy....

Thanks captain obvious...*sarcasm*

you're sig...the render is small, but the right side of the sig is more interesting than the left side of the sig...which is quite empty and boring... 8/10
