I'm creating an entirely new and cool style of sig. In the process of doing Josh's tutorial, I experimented, and came up with an AWESOME grunge style. I'll be posting sigs soon. Then, if you want, I'll make a tutorial
1)
V2 is my favourite. As said by SPM the v1 has too much light covering the focal. The text is a bit off and could probably be closer to the focal so it isn't as distracting. Would also love to see some more colour with this.
2)
I like v1 because v2 has too much lighting IMO. So maybe a v3 with a mix in between the two with less lighting. I like the use of Bubble c4ds for effect. Used to be in love with those things . I like the text on this but could be placed better. Also maybe a purple and orange gradient map set on soft light at say 15% opacity will make it look better.
SO good job I definitely see improvement
Edit:
My newest work. Made from a render I made a while ago but never used
I'm out of action for a while, apparently I crashed my hard drive. I'm obviously leaving this open, but I won't be able to regularly post. Hopefully it'll all work out.
^ Quite empty and a little too colourful IMO.. Should have moved the text nearer to the render and cropped it.. A sig doesn't HAVE to be about 400x150..
no love for my carlos sig? haha most people skip mine lmao.
@EPM
as said too colourful. Some cases can be really cool but not this one. Colours don't coordinate good either. The c4ds right now need work. Right now they kinda look slapped on and show no flow. Would love to see some more simpler designs just so you can get back to basics which I do every now and then
^ V2 for me.. V1 slightly to dark compared to V2 IMO.. Thats why..
Question.. Where do you get that kind of C4D where there is like a V shape.. I can't find it.. And.. When you erase parts of the C4D which covers the focal, do you use soft brush or what?
@EPM: You should never just throw in C4D's. As Josh said, throwing in C4D's substitute quality for effects (which isn't good), and it could ruin the flow of the sig.
