Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

Try to make the purple at the bottom look more blue. Then maybe brush around Artest to blend the edges into the background some. From there I think it'd just take some nice looking text, but I can't think of something for that.

Maybe it's the yellow (too saturated on the "black" background) or the background could be too black. Also, it might be the image in the transparent background that's giving it a washed look, but that effect could work.

Just testing out some tutorials and such.
Fri Oct 07, 2005 4:19 pm
Not bad, I think its really good
Nothin I could say to fix up
Fri Oct 07, 2005 4:32 pm
Standard suggestions: Add a curves adjustment layer and duplicate the Jordan pic, blur it, set it to some blending mode. But it does look really good right now.
Fri Oct 07, 2005 4:38 pm
I'll keep that in mind

I'm only just learning about adjustment layers and all of that kind of thing.

Best sig I've seen from you Jae (graphically, nothing beats Godzilla vs. Stitch). Great job
Fri Oct 07, 2005 8:59 pm
Damn man. You sigs are incredible. I like what you did with that Knicks one. Keep up the work man.

Serious? Thanks, it took about 1/3 the time the rest of my sigs take

not counting the 30 minutes it took to load the fucking tutorial, which for some bizarre reason people insist on making a .jpg as opposed to writing it all out

Product of boredom from last night:
I only make like 1 thing a week

, so I'm just going to post everything I make.

The text is really choppy. Check the aa settings.
Other than that it's pretty good. Background is pretty good, but try this. Make the non-BG layers invisible (Luther, text, etc.) and make a new layer below the pic. Hit ctrl-shift-alt-e. That merges all visible layers into this new layer. Blur it a little and set it it to overlay/soft light or w/e. Then play with the opacity.
Sun Oct 16, 2005 1:25 pm
What are "aa" settings?
Sun Oct 16, 2005 1:45 pm
It controls the opacity of the edges of the font. Make sure it's on smooth.
Sun Oct 16, 2005 1:52 pm
Hehe, Colin getting all fancy on us with his abreviations, I like to call it Anti-Allasing or w/e, but aa sounds fine, I guess I just learned something new.
Sun Oct 16, 2005 2:35 pm
Ah I see. It was on Smooth, I just had added effects that made it look like it was eroding. I'm really struggling to find a decent block-ish font, like the kind of thing Devin121 or whatever it is uses on the graphics in his dynasty so I'm stuck with the 2 I have.
Since I can't fix the text, I'll just experiment with this one... I did the background thing, it looks better your way
Sun Oct 16, 2005 2:37 pm
Jae got skills. I'm liking that sig!
Sun Oct 16, 2005 2:39 pm
Wow, damn that shit is awesome. Even your early sigs that you say are bad are terrific compared to some peoples (wanksters, and nba balla's)
Sun Oct 16, 2005 2:43 pm
Thanks guys

, and wankster thank you for speaking in the 3rd person
Sun Oct 16, 2005 2:56 pm

I like good old Impact, and one called He's Dead Jim. I'm not sure if they match what Devin has, but they're a good start.
Wed Oct 19, 2005 4:22 pm
I'll check 'em out, thanks

Since I haven't had the internet for a few days I've been messing around with brushes and such, so technically what I make
should be better from now.
Sat Oct 29, 2005 6:21 pm
More boredom. I don't like the text, and I couldn't be stuffed cutting out a pic so I downloaded a PSD. I think it's ok though, I still have the PSD saved so any advice I'll probably try.
Sat Oct 29, 2005 7:26 pm
Maybe try a handwriting font like Scriptina? I like the background, but like you said the text is pretty bad, kinda plain. That dunk was against the Knicks right?
Sat Oct 29, 2005 8:57 pm
I actually really like that font

I wish I was better with text.
