Sig Crit

[tuttzilla]

sorry i have no idea whats going wrong then, might be some strange setting in your photoshop thats somehow been turned on at some point

u should be able to just make a new layer, either go select>all, or use the rectangular marquee to select the area, then fill it with the pattern..

thx a lot, I'll try that :P
seriously, TuttZilla's one looks way better

also these focal lines makes that render completely fit in the center of the sig, which is a rare thing...

that's why I like it so much... it'd look way worse if it were not placed in the center of sig[/b]

It will never work in the center. You can put it there..but the focal shouldn&#39;t be there. I wasn&#39;t trying to show him up, I&#39;m not concerned with who&#39;s looks better, that is one of my first 10 sigs actually >.<

No offence to Tuttzilla but this is a novice sig. I don&#39;t mean to offend you either but I&#39;m quite positive you don&#39;t know what you&#39;re talking about.

few nice sigs with a focal point in center (searched for &#39;signature&#39; at DA and these are from first 2-3pages of the most popular...)

well, u say it&#39;s novice... imo it&#39;s a really nice sig, the lines makes u focus on a focal point, as it should be... maybe I don&#39;t know what I am talking about... but then, neither u do...

u can&#39;t group sigs in &#39;bad&#39; / &#39;nice&#39; just cuz of their focal point lol... the whole sig counts, not only 1 aspect of it

2/4 sigs that you posted don&#39;t have focal in the center. You&#39;re missing the point.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds

Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject would. Taken from first paragraph ^^

and YES a focal does make a signature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_art#Unity

Unity

Unity or harmony is the quality of wholeness or oneness that is achieved through the effective use of the elements and principles of art. The arrangement of elements and principles to create a feeling of completeness

I appreciate you trying to help out and give your comments and opinions (as you&#39;re more than entitled to do so) but make sure that what you&#39;re saying is correct. Generally I&#39;d be reeming you right now, but I&#39;m feeling patient today..Don&#39;t tell me I don&#39;t have any idea what I&#39;m talking about

Cizia you need to do some research.

I myself put the renders on the center, generally it&#39;s a big mistake. Haven&#39;t touched PS in like a year+ though.

@ Tutt, sig isn&#39;t bad, it&#39;s just ok. Should look better, as cruX said, having the render somewhere else. I think you had the idea of the focal lines and focused too much on those. It lacks a WOW factor as previously stated, needs some work.

Good comeback though.

No thanks lol

imo only N0mar&#39;s Sakura sig is close to focal point
even then, you have 2 or 3 more good sigs with focal in center

yeah... if you just leave it in the center of the sig, it will suck.. you have to make it flow a bit, which he did by adding these lines... wothout them this would look WAY worse

isn&#39;t it &#39;every part of it counts&#39;? not only focal point?
you can&#39;t disqualify it cuz it has a focal point in the center lol
as I said, it would suck if he didn&#39;t add the lines, but they make the flow

it&#39;s like saying &#39;oh noes! it&#39;s Avril Lavigne! my friend told me it&#39;s a rock so it MUST suck!!&#39;

isn&#39;t my OPINION always correct? :unsure:

oh and btw,
The rule of thirds appears as early as 1797 as a rule for proportioning scenic paintings.[5]
does it mean there was no good drawings/paintings etc b4?
or every artist who didn&#39;t follow the rule sucked?

You&#39;re an idiot..I&#39;ve lost patience. I&#39;m not even going to argue..flow has nothing to do with anything here..none of the sigs you posted are anything special anything impressive. Just another 1 of 300 sigs made in order to become better. You can go ahead and be a stupid fuck and try to tell yourself that you know what you&#39;re talking about but you obviously don&#39;t. Why do you think this little graphic section doesn&#39;t hold anyone with any potential? Because nobody knows what they&#39;re talking about..get out of your little fucking world and open your eyes. The sigs in this section suck dick yet you open a topic for a person that has made about 10 sigs and doesn&#39;t know the first thing about making them..yet you see 300 people saying 9/10 and WHOA LOOKS GREAT!!! I come here and spend MY time trying to help people..as far as I know you don&#39;t even make tags or belong to any site.
