Peachy's Thread - Sig!

Does it look hella blurry to you for some reason? (the wall) Is it just me?

They look overly blurred and too bright (but i've said that several times already)

You dont have to use 50 million filters to come out with a neat effect

Kobe Wall
Melo Wall

I found out why everything looked really blurry, it was imageshack.. i uploaded both the walls on different hosts and they looked better.
The kobe wall, i really like it for some reason. Its simple but grungy.

Kobe Wall



Played around with transforming. Didn't do any grunge.

Shaq+Dwade



Simple and smooth.

Sorry for the double.

The Kobe one is very interesting and powerful; really cool techniques. One thing I don't like are the colors. The colors kind of resemble outer space stuff, like Star Trek or NASA.

The Shaq and Wade one would make an awesome CD cover. I love the background! Did you make the patterns or did you use a pre-existing one?

Very nice walls and effects

However, wade's right eye really looks weird. kinda looks like one of Tmac's eyes. What also doesn't look to good is that shaq is cut off. It just goes from orange/shaq to black...

the wallpapers are great man, especially the kobe one IMO, but try to take out that rainbow colour out and stick to two good colours, but other than that they're good

The Shaq/Dwade wall is nice, except the orange color doesnt really match... try a dark red, or a blackish color and see if it looks a little better.

Thanks for the comments.

Cy, the cross hatched patterns in the bg were downloaded. The dots overlay stroke, i made myself.

The Shaq and Wade one would make an awesome CD cover.

This was a wall requested by my brother. I made 3 versions, hes pretty hard to please.





The last one. http://www.imageaddicts.net/uploads/MOSDEFWALL_copy.png

the top mos def wallpaper is much better because of all the colours in the second one

I like the top one, but they're both good. I think it's one of your best.

For a battle against a BBC crew member at WCR. His will win but i wanted to throw in a decent wall to compete at least.

That's really cool only negatives are the text is a bit too bright, it'd help if you could see more of the "F" in FLASHBACK and LeBron's a little too pink. Fix that up and I wouldn't be surprised if you did win.

His is great from a graphical point of view but IMO is it really something you'll put on your desk? Then again, mine isn't either so i can't really see him not winning.

I can't make any changes as today was the deadline but ill do a v2.

Currently, im working on a Jordan Farmar switch and a real Ray Allen vector.

I don't like either of them and I think you've done better walls before, but I don't think there's clearly one better than the other (of the battle walls). His would win slightly because the font you chose is too raw and the pic is too bright and desaturated.

You'd get my vote because you didn't make an annoying preview though.

Yeah, alot guys were quite irked about the text. I pretty much went through A-Z for all my fonts to find a fitting one and still got nothing so im pretty much a nbalive at text.

Anyways, what do you guys think of this? It's definitely not done yet but i want some ideas.



I did the lines via the pen tool.

Also, a sig i have to enter for a first round in a tournament im in. The guy im up against is rubbish(:lol:) so i pretty much just had to show up.



Told you i sucked at text.

we'll see, I think you've got me though. Can't see myself coming up with anything better.

Aight, I have a couple suggestions for that Rush wall:

1.) Lose the blown up, blurred pic in the background. Instead, change it to a shadow.

2.) Put the text expanding as it goes down in the blue line, if you understand what i mean.

Comments always appreciated.

I think there's too much contrast on his shirt, it looks all white and it's distracting. It stands out too much in the wall.

Heh, it's been a long while since I've made something so I opened up photoshop and had a crack at some stuff.

Original:



Mine:


Just a little Ali graphic I experimented on. Used this filter and tweaked the blending to make it look drawn. I like it, hope you guys do.

I was half way doing a jersey switch but didn't end up having the paitience.



Reupped on imageshack, incase it didn't work.
Trying to get back into it with sigs, so expect some soonish.
