Nbalive744 Corporation Sigs!-Something New

[nbalive744]

No, those backgrounds are not premade, I am making my own. If I use a pre-made background, I will tell you.
I think if I took the blur off of Mcgrady, there would just be a plain borin picture of him.

[J@3]

Then duplicate the McGrady pic and add an overlay or darken or something.

[Jugs]

Yea like Jae said, the colours dont match

poo brown with red rockets logo... god

[cklitsie]

You might've learned some techniques through tutorials now, but just slapping them all together in one sig doesn't mean it looks pro.

[Colin]

It is your best yet techincally, but things still don't match design wise.

The pic is waaay to blurred. Especially since the background is quite sharpened. And the colours don't fit well. Brownish-red and a dark grey don't work with white and bright red.

[nbalive744]

Thanks for the comments!

Request by Stevesanity, comments please, didnt take me a long time to do.




And believe it or not, that is NOT one of those shitty pixel stretches in the background, it is just the Clippers logo with a bunch of motion blurred layers set to overlay.

[streetballaz1]

looks good

It doesn't matter how you do it if you get the same shitty effect.

[nbalive744]

Okay, I messed up on the background with it, but how about the sig overall? Like on a scale of 1 to 10? I would give it a 6.5, how about you?

[cklitsie]

streetballaz, dude seriously stop making those useless posts. You type two pretty much meaningless words as a whole message, it doesn't add anything.
Props though for making a grammar mistake in a 2-word sentence

LMAO!

EDIT: Not trying to be harsh or anything, but I'd give it a 5/10, maybe 5.5/10 at best. I'm not really into white-based sigs anyway, so I guess that plays a part.

I give it about that. Probably a 6. Here's a couple suggestion that should probably help judging by your last two sigs. I'll just run through some things that you may or may not know.

First step: get a cut pic and stick it on an empty background. Despite what some may say making the bg is not the first step as you'll probably screw up lighting and colour.

Second: Do all your bushing stuff that you raid the gamerenders forums for. If there's a tutorial you don't have to do exactly what it says. Combine things you know. I just look at tutorials now to find shortcuts (a couple weeks ago I found out you can create a new layer and hit ctrl-shift-alt-e to merge all layers to that layer, better than merging the originals) and little tips.

Third: If you have a basic background down (colourless) look at your pic and figure out where the light is hitting it from. If it's got pretty flat lighting use the burn and dodge tools on low settings to add some shadow. Now lighten and darken the corresponding parts of your BG, but don't go overboard. Check out my Joe Johnson sig for what I mean by that.

Fourth: Look at your picture. What is the main colour in it? Make that the main colour of your background and add splashes of highlight colours. In the T-Mac one: main colour should be white with some red across it in some places. In the Rodney one the main colour should be red with a bit of white. Then use the Clippers logo as the bit of blue.

Fifth: If you're duplicating layers and setting them to overlay/soft light. You don't always have to blur them. You can leave them alone, you can sharpen them, you can desaturate them, you can give them a new hue, just use mroe techniques there. And make sure they match your background. If you have a background like your T-Mac background then you I would probably duplicate the layer, desaturate, and sharpen it.

Got it?

Not bad...ur gettin pretty good....except, why u got one of ur shittest sigs as ur sig?

[J@3]

Too much open space, just because the sig limit is 450-100 doesn't mean EVERY sig has to be 450-100.

[nbalive744]

Cuz I am too lazy to make a new Philly Sports one for myself, and untill I do, you will have to look upon the tretcherous(sp?) Philly Sports sig

Too much open space, just because the sig limit is 450-100 doesn't mean EVERY sig has to be 450-100.

Thanks for re-sizing, but I never do 450x100, my sigs are always 400x100, including that one, and you cropped off "stevesanity"


By the way, you don't even have to look, but just informing you that there is a new gaming signature on page 1.

[The GOAT]

...which is why your sig is 450 by 100....

[nbalive744]

OOPS I meant to say that now my sigs are never 450x100 .

[J@3]

...which is why your sig is 450 by 100....

I was just gonna point that out... 11 pages, jesus.

[Stevesanity]

Thanks for the signature nbalive744, now lets just hope we keep him on our roster or I might be back here requesting something else.

[nbalive744]

Hey people, I was just running an experiment on my latest sig, I have never done a sig like this before, so excuse me if it sucks, I just wanted to share my results with you.

[Blasphemy]

The backgruond is very nice I like it alot. Text is good to but I just dont like how Andre Igoudala looks in it.

So I give it a 9/10 niec job.

[cyanide]

It's a cool sig, I like the explosive motion, but I think the farting behind him is a tad overdone. The type is OK, better than your other ones, but I don't like how some letters are well defined and some letters are obscured. It's one of your better sigs.

[nbalive744]

Whoa am I in the mood for photoshop today Heres my first smudge sig, I know the smudge doesnt look very good, but what do you think of it?

[Gator]

Not feelin it

[zmac]

PLease get that outta here, AHHHH!!!

[Emiliano]

Sorry, but that JR Smith sig is very bad imo. Nothing fits.
