For a DFO sig, I'd say the last one is 8/10 or so. The others don't really shout darkfall to me. Overall, I'd say the first one is too ambiguous, 5/10. Can't tell what's going on. The second one works nicely, it has some nice colour contrast. 7/10. I still like the last one most as a sig, although you can't really see the letter in it.

Good use of a firey colour to go with the dwarf, and the text placement is good. A bit bright for my screen.
About mine... I'm going to need an overhaul, Tossing the Smileys and the text, but that's pretty much the whole reason for the sig. Any suggestions on a theme of healer? Base material would be appreciated.

I DL'd GIMP. It's alot like PS, and I took about 30 mins to figure some of the stuff out and do this one since I've never really learned GIMP or PS. It's definitely better than the other one I had, but I still hate it. I give myself 6/10.
For you, however, I can't even read the text, mate. You should probably just redo it. I'd say it's about a 4/10 or 3/10.

Aranin, it's exactly Darkfall orientated, but I still rather like it, so I'd say 7/10

DevXLX - 9/10
Really nice and simple. I like the image you used and there isn't a lot of clutter to get in the way. Text is just a tad bit fuzzy-ish because of the glow, but not too horrible. Could just be me as well.

The image itself isn't bad, but the text is pretty unreadable. I could tell it said "The Veiled Alliance" by reading the link below the sig, and your name is fuzzy. Still, it's a good idea, just need to fix those few things.

3/10. The text effects kinda blow. And outside of that it's just a zoomed in pictures of some ... guy... and a background some one found on google. Unoriginal, and the guy's head is chopped off too!
I don't like it. It gets 3 points for the color scheme being pleasant though, at least you didn't put a solid red border around him. And the glow effect is somewhat appealing, I guess.

T199.37s89/snowballs. Your sig reminds me of a former life when I was an old man and every sunday night I would join my old spanish american war buddies for a game of bowling. Those were the days in the roaring 60s, or I like to call them the Godless years. The bowling ally was a wholesome brown, and the room was smokey and smelled slightly of burnt hair. The lanes were waxed and we were ready to roll. I remember those days. A much simpler time, when blacks drank from a different water fountain. 23 skidoo.

That's pretty damn good coming from someone that doesn't get the meaning behind it. I'd rather it's easy on the eyes for everyone else than for it to be blaringly annoying.
Helgaran: Monochromatic with a name in the bottom corner. I give you the same score I was given for the same reasons. That looks like something you could find on an image search and tack your name onto.
Stark
02-03-2007, 10:54 PM
It's kinda ugly, but the color scheme is kind of appealing(you probably had no control over this anyway, no offense) so I'll give ya a point for that.
The balls are flat and kinda annoying, so I will deduct a point for that.
The text, well, it has your name and your guild so a point for that, but it's kinda sucky so, I guess you get a half point all together.
I have no idea why you cut off that dude's head, so negative 1 point.
But boy is looking FINE, those abs are nice. One point.
But why is he miscolored? -2 points.
Is that Minas Tirith in the background? Child, don't you know this is DARKFALL? 0 points.
No stinkin' border? 0 points.
All in all, I will just give you 0 points and be done with it. A really poor sig, no offense.

I guess then it's time to explain myself. The head was removed because... the guy looked odd. No, really, his eyes, etc... Just plain odd.
No border cause I can't make em. If you saw the last one I made, you'd agree that no border was a good choice.
The castletown in the background came with the character. That's Prontera, I believe... No, wait... No idea.
Miscoloured because of my theme. Starfrost.
Balls are meant to be round, so I'll agree with you there.
I gave myself a 6/10 before for following a meaningful theme and making sure that it wouldn't hurt people's eyes. I still need something better, though. I still have a sig request in the request thread.
@hagestad: pixelated corners, small base picture, and the rest is just name and guild info. Pirate theme is all you have, 4/10.

my new one
6.5/10
I like the colour scheme and the font style used for the name. Its kinda creepy and it looks like thats the effect you were aiming for, but its lost a couple of points for being blurred and making it hard to read you name.
Remove the blur and use another clearer type of distortion and it would be an 8.5/10. :)
As for Pronkyou, I dont know what you mean by the guy looking wierd, im a old RO fan and I recognise the image as a monk from this image:
http://fire-spark.net/odyssey/Character_Monk.jpg
The background image is from this, it is a city from RO but not prontera.
http://fire-spark.net/odyssey/xtra.html
They're both very cool images and I used to use some of the artwork from RO in my sigs but its fairly well kown and I prefer to use unknown artwork.
I dont think there is anything particularly bad about your sig other than the head is missing and that the font could be clearer, maybe using a bolder font and in a more contrasting colour would be more impressive.
If you feel you cant achieve the right effect personally, ask in the request a sig topic. People are alays willing to help.

Yeah, a guy named Lothar does. So I was curious.
Meh, the background is blurred, by accident or not, but it adds more to the focus on the caster. The second part of fire(the orange part) seems out of place, as does the red text, you should grey it out to go with the goomy background. Decent cutout, whether you did it or not as well.

What's with all the low ratings? All I wanted is the grunge...It's been proven that I can do borders well enough already. Just need to work on text a bit, then shapes. Either way, half the people here still use Bevel/Emboss, that should automatically give you a low rating.

Name isn't exactly Stealth anywhere off these boards, hence the name in the signature. And I wanted it red, I'll play around with that part later. But good point. I did say it wasn't done though, pay more attention. Basic, color, text, additions. That's how I work I guess. There is way too much red, or at least too much contrast. If you look at it for a while it hurts your eyes. =)
Can we please give some constructive criticism on the base now? I'd like to know if the grunge is okay.

That's a really nice texture, except for that black chunk of pooples on the right side. Otherwise I really like the texture. I give it a 7/10 as far as textures go. It's about a 1.5/10 for a signature though.
Also Stark's sig is definitely improved since the last time I saw it. 10/10.

I obviously have accepted that, you seem to be the only two that WON'T talk about it, you just say for a signature it's bad, and give no reasons.
Edit: It's a bit busy, but that's about all I can say for it negatively...

(Starks sig. Was typing when Stealthist posted)
8/10
Raccoon render is a pretty nice quality, and it's all nicely cut. No little misplaced specks on the edges. And of course, it's just funny to look at. I especialy appreciate how the edges of the flames coming out of the box aren't all rough and pixelated. That's usually what happens to my renders when I try to make them break the border. Personally I think the stroke around "Legion of Galadin" could be smaller, but it's no big deal.

Wow, I skimmed the first 10 or so pages to see if I could get any ideas for a trans sig, seems you both have a history for basing sigs entirely off of the person or what it says. Stark I can understand that in. I still don't get why Surly rated it so low...

Hmm. Alright. You want some criticism. Here you go:
It's just bland. It looks like a red chunk of metal sitting on my fucking webpage and that makes me angry. it just doesn't do anything. The texture looks pretty damned cool and the border is aces with me, but it's so unappealing because there's just nothing to it. It doesn't "say" anything. Signatures generally have a point... the whole purpose of a signature is to make something very personal and very unique to YOU. And most people kind of expect that.
Your signature doesn't say anything except "Hello, I'm a chunk of red steel."
That's just boring and lame. It's a great, great texture... especially if you're new at photoshop, but why don't you try to expand on it a little? Use your current sig and add an "avatar" box to it, or add some kind of objects to personalize it.
This isn't your high school trapper keeper, so don't make it too gay... just do something with it besides "lol metal!"

Oi, as soon as I took time to think about it I thought you'd say that. I've noticed that too, but I can't really think of what to add to it without screwing it up. I've always been bad at that part of signatures. But I am new-ish, so I have an excuse. :D I don't like just plastering things on though, I was taught against that early on. I'll have to think about this. I definitely agree with the "Hello, I'm a chunk of red steel." part, and that just that render isn't enough, but what to add...what to add...
Edit: Thanks for the criticism by the way. As much as I have a drive to make a good signature, I care much more about becoming experienced with Photoshop, so I try to make as many as I can for people and hope they're pleased, while continually remaking my own, most of time better, sometimes different entirely. Anyway, thanks.
PS. Text too dark/hard to see to you? PS shows things brighter than my actual monitor so I get boned on that area a lot at first.

No, I can't read any text.
CTRL-Shift-K in photoshop. Your monitor's RGB color should be available under the "Other" section of the RGB drop down menu if you use a monitor with good drivers. The "too bright" thing is pretty common for LCD monitors especially, but all you have to do is set Photoshop to use your monitor's RGB profile. It probably wouldn't hurt to mess with the CMYK one either.
And if there is no preset for your monitor, just fiddle with it 'til you get one that's right.

Darkmatter
02-27-2007, 09:16 AM
I can't see your name either. I think your signature has gone a turn for the worse since the first time I saw it. The more apparent things that I saw wrong with it in the beginning was the too heavy contrast, and the color red you used should have been toned down just a bit. At least at that point I could see the grunge and patterns you were trying to use. Now it seems like you've smudged it around and added a 'wind' layer or something and left it at that.
You should try to make something similar to what you had first, but apply more 'userfriendly' colors and less contrast. One smart thing is to try and apply one layer with more contrast than the rest to achieve depth, and make sure your name is at least somewhat readable as in your case it isn't the same as your forum handle. Your frame was/is good, it added something, yet didn't steal away attention from the rest of your signature. Imho frames should be simple, i'm fond of basicly just 'stroking' the signature with a 1px or 2px black frame - occationally I use 2px stroke overlayed, then adding 1px stroke normal around the 'finished' signature and that's it, so easy, yet looks ok. My point was, you did the frame well!
It's always easy to add too much to a signature. You want to make it the best signature ever, so you fiddle around with it too much, adding too much layers, colors or effects, and it ventures beyond tasteful and into the realm of the desperate. I'm not saying you did that with your signature though, It's just how I've experienced my own sigs at times. Now I rather do little things with the signatures and change around on them on quite a regular basis just to refresh, not putting every darn thing I know into the same one. Overall thing is that you're comfy with having it tied up to every single post you make. We choose to stick with these forum colors because they were good to the eyes, black, brown and grey, so yeah, the sig color bombs stand out, but I guess that's their wish. Many colors do work well with them so I don't complain.
Stealthist
02-27-2007, 11:37 PM
Odd that you guys can't see the name, I might have my channels to bright on my monitor. But you can see everything else so, that's very odd.
So basically what I should try to do...
1) Simplify the background just a bit. Try to add more depth/try out that contrast tip.
2) Brighten up a few areas of grunge but not with too much contrast.
3) Add a few things, maybe change color? I kind of like the silver/red with a bit of black. This could be a brightness issue though.

Less pixelated render too. I like the atmosphere, I think Surly's monitor just has a bit of a dark gamma going right now. But it's a bit too dark like Con said.
For text, a nice plain font with a stroke always looks nice if it fits the style for some reason. And if you want, erase with the chalk brush on like 50-75 transparency for a bit of grunge. There are several things you can do with text. But some tips, never bevel and emboss or anything of the like. Drop shadow is fine, outer glow can be used well but usually looks bad.
Dunno if you're using CS2/any version of PS though.
Anyway, good atmosphere with the secondary color, brighten it up, try to do the text a little better. If you want any help I'll be glad to give you a hand or some tips.

well brushed backgrounds are pretty simple.
clouds base > multiple layers of black then white black then white with different brushes. set each black/white layer to soft light, adjust opacity to get what u like, use overlays and colour ballances.
getting a good scratchy look often depends on the brushes u use, i often use fractals set to soft light or overlay above the image and background layers to get a diff look, really just fiddle around with different stuff and get yourself alot of different style brushes. just experiment, with a little basis of knowlege its the best way to learn.

So, blizzard or no blizzard?
Keep making these in private, play around with filters for about a week. Learn to get very desirable effects from them, and which to use when. The colors are good, but you could use some grunge/abstract where it gets too much contrast.
The background is good, but you shouldn't cut things like that out, just make it it's own layer, and set the style to something like soft light or screen. Put a black stroke around the text in Layers > Layer Styles, and try to erase parts of it to blend it in with something like the Chalk brush or something, go to your brushes, down arrow at right, load the dry media brushes.
Cutout is much better this time. I usually just get the eraser and use a decent sized circle, then use the diagonal portion to take out curves. You can uze fuzzy if you have you have to, and there's lots of times where you'll need to change the size, but it works well. No blizzard by the by.
Edit: Thoughts on mine? I managed to pull off a good grunge/scratch effect on this, with a nicely contrasted color. I think the filter I used on the archer may have been a bit off of matching...

I'm going to give it an 8/10 mostly for the reason why I like it as well.
That bit of an outburst around the skull is great, and makes it stand out some, but it doesn't exactly blend into the black. I like that, it just looks kind of odd.
I also notice you have two sections that are "cut out" makes my subconscious even more content. All in all, it's hawt. Gonna bump it up to an 8.5 just for being kickass.
That's the same grunge layer/s as well. I can see how you would just want to change the render or something, and it's the same border so I guess you did just want a new look; I'll let it slide.

If I am wrong however that its just there for effects then whatever is meant to be standing out as the main focus isnt showing its true colours yet. Once you make a core object for people to look at I would gladly give a 9-10/10 depnding on how it looked after.

I made this one for Pheonix, without him asking me to. I was just playing around with fire, so to say. To my great suprise he started using it. Do rate. You already got a rating from me Xinnro :)

Cloud is gone, and I'm rockin my new sig.
*sob*
But I'll forgive you, because Aranin makes some sweet sigs. Loving this one, especially the char. Where's that from, Aranin?
I've been thinking of changing my sig again already, but I have no motivation to create anything different right now. So it stays until my muse returns. Right now she's busy messing up my writing instead. Bitch.

7/10 for wizeguy. I really like the image, but text simultaneously melts into the background by being vaguely the same colour, and stand out with a weird floaty effect. Also, the text pushes too close to the mask and feels cluttered. What could really fix it, to a degree, would be to move the etxt slighly up and left, make it a slightly different colour, maybe a dark crismson with shaders where it mind blend. A shadow burn effect either for the text, or as a shadow for the text would add to the immersion.

The quote in your sig is from a Scottish Clan, do ye belong laddy? Thats from the MacTavish Clan .:sly:
I give the sig a 7.5 out of 10, Ithink the eyes and back ground could bre blended a bit better and the color scheme is off .

Nay, it be MacIntosh ya english dog!
I can't blend, I only have photoshop 4 :(.
Even so,It's the cat eye galaxy on a space background, how do I blend that? Any advice?
Oh, Raven, try putting a shadow behind the letters, kind of like shadow falling on paper, that might work. The bit with the snake and rose is awesome, like a stage with a backdrop, making the text a part of the background would add to it methinks, but its up to you.
edit: your sig is unrateable aravan, I have nothing to compare it to, it's 100% matter of opinion :p. Personally I have images of 'that 60s show' floating in my head.

My bad, the MacIntosh be my adopted clan, our family was adopted by a number of the larger clans and I find myself constantly at war with myself . One side the family are from the Highlands, 'tother side be the lowlands.:bang:
As for blending you can set the alpha transparency to different colors, so that some are more prominent or vice versa . I use "The Gimp" , free download , and PSP10 for other efx /borders, etc.

Devotion gets my vote btw.
RavenLord
03-12-2007, 10:31 PM
#1: Scream, stream, dream? AAH, too much! Trust me on this one, leaving the stream out of the verse, would do wonders to it. Nice enough visual-vise.
#2: Too simple, the text kinda ruins it and the image/bg is just too plain and simple. Looks like a simple crop out of a picture, which it surely is.
#3 Definitely the best. Like the fire effect, like the char, like the bg, like the overall mood. The txt fits well. This is the one you should use, IMHO.
For you, Osirus 8/10. Captures the very essence of DF :p

how do u get one of those?
Two ways.
1. Make your own <- this is hard and only reccomended for those that have an imagination beyond cut and paste from the internet. Basic photoshoping skills required.
2. Build up a rep and request one in the request thread <- Easier, but takes more time, since you need to build a reputation in whichever forum you ask from. Ask very very nicely, say specifically what you want, and include some basic images that you want incorporated.

Umm, fonts come from your Windows system font file, so anything you load up in there should be available for use. Unless PS4 did something differently than the other versions of PS that I've used in the past, which I can't imagine happening.
A few good places to look for fonts (I've used both):

The comma is there, the font is a retarded one with showing some punctuation.
And something is screwing up with my sig. Did they put in character limits or something? I've corrected it a few times now and it keeps showing up as broken.
EDIT - something must have changed, because it works fine if I don't have the text included. Bah.
