I've gotten back into making signatures again, so I figured I'd make a thread to document my terrible attempts at making them /o/
At the moment kind of working off k0n's tutorial as a way to figure out Elements 8, as I was using Photoshop 7 and I don't know where a lot of features that I like in 7 are in Elements. I don't even know if some of them exist. So thank you k0n for sort of helping me learn a bit more about Elements as I wouldn't have found half the stuff on my own ;_;
Not bad actually and thanks for the recognition :P Though I hope you enjoy using these features. I would like to see if you could do something new with these features
okay Sidero I finished ;_; I attempted C4Ds for the first time so it's a little more ehhh, but making it per request made me want to try and salvage it a lot more. The colors gave me a lot of issues.

See, I actually find this one a LOT better than the others. You can only do so much distort before it becomes obnoxious. My only suggestion on this is, like you mentioned, to fix the colors. The scheme itself is nice, but the colors are too heavy on the focal. I'd say... In the future, try to maintain some of the original's colors, otherwise it gets a bit lost in the background.
This is definitely my preference out of your works thus far though, the blurred background with sharp foreground creates a sense of space, which wasn't really occurring in the other pieces. Nice work!
Thanks Glar. Tried to depurple a little Still is purple but less so? ;_; I tried going back to all my adjustment layers and playing around, ended up fooling around with the opacity of the original render as the topmost layer.
But I think the fact that the colors in the sig were a tad wtf at times made me explore what some of the adjustments do.
That's a pretty good sig there :> I usually use Selective Colors to adjust any weird colors. I like the original color scheme on the character. I think the background was the major problem since it took similar colors with the stock of your sig, though it's your call :>
you can also use a Levels layer to reset the colors (to an extent, anyway). Another option would be to duplicate the render and move it to the top, and then set that layer to color or hue and play with the opacity. I tend to spend a lot of time toying with colors before I'm satisfied, lol.
okay, sort of satisfied with this. The background is a bit less bright, not sure if I overdid it but for now I'm content. Was also a bit more successful depurplefying the render.
man did this sig teach me a lot :U It might be a bit too dark around her face but the way the light is hitting it doesn't look too out of place (I think ;_;)
k, now I am officially putting this sig to bed. I think if I try to work on it much more I might be beating a dead horse.
oh and thanks for all the critique/guidance guys ;_;
This one is meh, not a big fan of the green it just makes it look... blech. Might remake it with the same render though.
I'm pretty happy with this, it started out having a really gross teal-green hue to it and then I made it blue and was like hey, this is pretty good.
I use levels too much, this one has 5 >: Not sure if the background is too dark, but I wanted it to sort of look like the energy from his alchemy was lighting things up, man.
