DoYouPlay_RS,

Completely agree with Josh on the font. If I didn't already know what it said, I wouldn't be able to read it. The render seems over-sharpened at some points, and I think adding a little bit of other colors in there might help (like a gradient map on low opacity, soft light/overlay) to tone down the intensity of the pink and purple, as they go well together, but seem to be too much all at once.

I like the ball C4D's you used, you should send those to me sometime in IRC, they're really catchy - you used them on your most recent SOTW too and I adored them. I also like that the render is completely new and unseen (to my eyes at least) and not a render used a lot Razz

My attempt is pretty different from most things i see here. maybe thats because i have a different view on it Smile

Anyways, what do you guys think? I'd like some critisism actually, it'll only improve my sigs Very Happy

Cheers!

hey helloim, what do you use for your background?

It looks like he enlarged the render and applied a few adjustment layers or filters to it, such as blurring

You should work on blending your render with the rest of your sig helloim96, either by feathering/smudging/layering/c4d's/other effects

by **helloim96** 22/1/2013, 7:25 pm

Opinions on my signature I'm wearing now?

by **Broeder** 22/1/2013, 8:34 pm

Helloim, better but pay great attention to how much you blur because theres a fine balance line between enough and too much blurring

Leakee, its ok. Could use better colors. Not a fan of those kinds of sigs anyway

by **PredatorGFX** 22/1/2013, 9:46 pm

Opinions? I don't often make tags, but I was looking for resources on deviantART and just thought it would be perfect within a signature.

Predator,

Good tag, but there is way too much Topaz usage. I think you have an overuse of intense pink, too, not enough other colors/shades. Take your current signature, for example, blue is the main theme, but you see a light cyan, a darker blue, even some white. Those shades bring out the tag more.

WHAT IS TOPAZ?!

Everypne keeps going on about it, I feel so left out :c

Ross L, I plan to teach everyone Topaz Labs when teams are released.

Also, I love the look of a Topaz Clean finish, Kelly. It looks so clean and detailed. As for the colour, you're most likely right. I have my laptop connected to my 40" HD TV, and it looks bright pink on that, but on my laptop screen, it looks more purple with a nice pink mixed in at the bottom. Sometimes, I don't know which screen to trust as everyone's monitors are going to show slightly different colours depending on the brightness of their screen.

Ross L, don't feel left out. Topaz is a photoshop plug-in filter that costs about $30 I think? Topaz Clean is used to, ofc, clean up certain areas with a piece... It is mostly overused now, but with the right settings it can improve a piece... Wrong settings, your piece is practically screwed (and by wrong settings I mean too much of it.) Using too much of it really makes a piece look very very very very unrealistic, in other words fake.

It's a nice piece, Josh Designs. Like todgott said though, it is a little bit too chaotic. Eye-catching too Smile
