lol it was dull without the lense flare.
and its kidna like.. sun like..
and id put teh redner mostly infornt of the flare anyways. i think it would work well with a bowser. lol
yeahhhh if anyone wants backgrounds for stuff im board alot.. or if anyone wants a sig. il eventualy amke a nice crew sig once we all have our disease names ect. and i might make a team sig for my and steve.
im thinking about making sum shirts to sell at next tourney, i heard she made a killing with those shirts. and il one up sliq and sell my shels. (i have 4 controlers coming to me in abotu a week for free heck yes)
im also going to look into doing wii motes (top only for now) il take one apart and see what id have to do.
Steve im ready to do your controler givve me your black controler and the money. im going metalic red black stars. posibly put your name sumwhere in black. or a small logo. il think of somthing that looks ill.
Chris. you wanted metalic yellow with pink stripes?
i think tahts doable. uhmm we can work out a price.
i feel kinda weird cuz my controler wont be the only 1337 one anymore.
*note*
Im not cutting any windows. thast my thing. i like being unique.

lol I'm going to paint my controller soon too =3 I have a few ideas...
I noticed how much the Gamecube remote resembles a metroid... :D
I can make a render for you if you want to make anyone a sig. Chris asked for a Doc one. Maybe if I have enough time I'll draw one up.

ohai
so i hear you guise r doin fotoshop
it's making me wanna open up photoshop and doing random ****
but then i get lazy
anyways, @bren's sig..
the render is really sex, but i'm not feeling the blur effect on it... it really ruins it
i don't like the background because of the reasons chris said. seems like filters and gradients which are really good tools to use in a lot of cases, but you can be sooooooooo much more creative with backgrounds. Use more brushes, make your own random shapes, and do whatever. I use filters and gradients and loads of layers and effects to tune it up. It really depends on what you're going for and what suits the render.
Chris says the background has to flow.. yeah, in a way i guess. The background has to flow with the render. They should correspond with each other and blend. Not really as in you gotta mask around the render, that works in some cases, but you just want the render to not stick out of place, or the background to stick out of place too much. You can actually use the render and do some crazy filters on it and make random shapes to put together and make the background. Your background is like blue while your render is all shiny and whhotnot. color co-ordination works really well for blending stuff in.
There's really not much I could tell you on how to make backgrounds. Everyone has their own style. You should experiment with all of the tools until you find your own thing. Always experiment with new stuff basically, there's always room for improvement, and don't do the same thing all the time or you won't improve.
Text is the most frustrating part of the sig in my experience...... There's one easy thing to know about it, though. When you work with renders and backgrounds, you can focus on either of them and do whatever you want with the blending of it. For text, most of the time you just need to make it really, really simple and just blend. It never has to really stand out. A lot of people will tell you that keeping text simple is the best thing you can do then using crazy big font.
i made this sig like 2 years ago near the end of when I was really into photoshop
i like it because i was getting better at using C4D renders which is probably really overused by now, but people are always finding ways to be creative and sexy with them. I also looooooovvvvveeeeeeee how I made the text. but my monitor sucks and i have really low contrast levels so it's probably cut off for most people.
I kind of half-***** on the border, but whatever. Speaking of which, borders are also best simple. I usually have my border match with my text, which both should work for the entire sig. Nothing too fancy. The border should just close off the sig, i mostly just use a 1px black border. You can use a white border+text if you want so it stands out more on forums with darker backgrounds, just as long as the rest of the sig works with that.
@jay: your random bgs are really cool, the first one is sexy
i wanna show off too (warning: mad old stuff, like +1 or 2 years old)
experimenting with c4d renders, blending, and lights/blending using lights lollolollo
as you can see, i use really simple text, and a lot of colour co-ordination ^^ LOL
mew2king
oh wow, if i look at it now, i just notice the lighting is completely screwed up lollolololol
text here sucks, but everything else is okay i guess. ALSO, this is a pixel art mewtwo render. raep.
not really much i guess. i wish i could show you some smudge crazy sigs, but i dunno if i have any, or i just can't really notice it.

i said the smae thign about the blurr on the render, its one thing to duplicate renderrs and stagegr them over, an dblurr them. make sure your original render is still visable, and the duplicates eitehr blend in or create the bacground.
i acualy hate my sig right now xD
the render is meh. no flow. text is good. but hey. its unique. i want to make anotehr 1/8 sig

yeah alot of people have told me that simple text is the best way to go, but my bg is supposed to have the effect of a broken screen, so you'd probably understand that it looks so gay and out of place if I just put it there with no after-thought.
I don't want to over-complicate it, so I made some changes like you said, but overall it's the same effect.
At first I didn't want it to stand out, but I overdid it. I kinda noticed when Chris said he didn't even see it the first time he looked at the sig lololololol
Edit: I also sharpened up the render so it isn't so blurry like you guys recommended. I can't get my photoshop running though >=[ WTF
One thing I did have a bit of an idea about though... in that blank area at the top left I was thinking about putting one of my recorded clips, and kind of match it in with the background. But seeing as I neither have a capture card that works, or any clips, that might have to wait. D:
J I like your old sig, the one with the luigi misfiring. Just use that one.

good vector brushes for ps7 is ****ing hard to find on deviant art
it took me like an hour to render the vector feebas lmao and i made a pointless ugly c4d based background and just tossed it out.
i really hate the placement of the text and render there, but i forgot i would be putting that much text <_<

make your own sig >=[ i only made it for steven because he's clearly talentless. LOL <3
LMFAO DAVID NICE AVATAR
Yeah steve, i made like 3 of those feebas avatars in avatar size so you could use them to match your sig <_< now stop using that lame squartal.
@Ethan: the text is kinda fancy
with backgrounds, you should start playing with brushes you can download off deviantart.com
use filters to manipulate some parts on the sig and change it to the way you want, but don't use the entire filter on the whole background because it usually doesn't look too great
experiment with filters, brushes, and all of your photoshop tools, never use just use one.

i was trying to find a magikarp vector like the feebas one i found for yours..
apparently, there's better feebas art than magikarp art. -______-
Vectors are like.. simple flat shapes that look really cool. The Feebas render i used was a vector and i was looking for vector stuff to work with it. People can take some pictures and make them into vectors, like clouds, buildings, people, etc.

If i can't find a magikarp vector, i might have to end up trying to make one.
which might actually be really fun lol

vecotr=mathmatical equiotion. no matter how big you resize it it does nto become pixly and loose wuality. (illustrator is vector based)
photoshop is pixel based, enlarge somthing and it loose quality.
vector BRUSHES are just large bruhses that don't loose quality when they get enlarged, but they are stil not acual vectors.
now you know
andys controler is going to be so 1337
it looks sweet already.

it looks liek the etx wasw an afterthought, your eyes kidna notice after everything else and there like.. oh..didn't see that.. its kinda kool i guess.
eyes shouldn't bounce around on a sig, they should follow a path. my sig is a bad example xD
yours you kidna go right to the middle, witch is fine. but then you notice the giga part, then my eyes feel kinda lost..liek they don't know where to look next.
