I'm disapointed that nobody found my secret line of text... Shh... there is no secret test except for the thing that's hard to see...

I lost my Photoshop disc, I'm going to install Fireworks instead, I bought a student addition a few years ago. Hopefully it's pretty much the same...

I did this with Windows Media Player, Print screen, and MS Paint. Notice from cmatcmextra: Merged posts, fixed error.

@NilsC I hope you like Nils @Everyone else, what do you think about it, how should I improve it?

I love how skillfully blend you render and your background and choose colors.

Ahh, it's not that good, I brushed over the render too much, I should have at least left the face alone, I alway try to keep myself from brushing over the render's face, but I always end up doing so.

OK, the only filters I used on this one was a guassion blur of .2 and .3, and a motion blur. Oops, forgot to add the image... Notice from Johnny: Merged double posts.

Aww, thank you biscuitrat, your very kind, now I have one to add my my recieved list.

I am not liable if it makes you go blind...

I'm glad I finally learned how to do a proper Tech Border, now that you mention it, I DEFINATLEY could have eased up on the bevel a little bit...Also I need to smooth out the border a bit. If you look anywhere it has a diagonal it's very pixelated...

Aweseome background, border is good, and render is good and well blended, except I agree, the blue pad on his chest looks awkward.

Those are bushes, but all of my brushes suck, the only background I did with filters was the one for Saint Michael and the Jestox one.

Here you go... I'm not particularly fond of this, I liked the render, and would have liked the whole render to be visible, but it was quite big. I wasn't sure what to do with the background, I thought grunge or fractal, and I ended up with this, not sure how to classify it. So instead of classifying it I Klassified it (yes I stole that from his custom profile field... )

Be honest

It's good, 9/10, everything is perfect except like Johnny said the opacity on that stipe of green the font is on should be just a bit higher.

@Frozen - Thanks! I'm not going to put a border on it because I didn't mean for it to be a sig, it was really just a test of some filters and brushes and such.I took everyones advice and tried to highlight the render so it would stand out against the darker backround.@Johnny - Me either, I was just playing with filters and settings and that was what I got...@Micheal - I think your right, if I used a colors for the background other than blue and blak it would have had more contrast, but I was testing, and I thought blue and black look good together. And thanks, I have Moonwitch to thank for the filters, she told me how to use many of them.

I'll do that for a copy on here, but the one I'm giving them will stay pretty much like that, they saw my gift for you (I posted it as 1 of 4 examples) and asked for that background. I really don't like the render either, I wish I knew who those two character where so I could get a better render, but that's what they gave me...I'm going to try to fix the pixelation up a little bit.

OK, here is V2.0, V3.0 I will add more to the render.

I'll change the border white, they said a border, never said what kind, I just made it yellow so I didn't have to change colors... I'll try to add more effect ot the render, but what they gave me was so simple originally...

I made this for someone on a game development website just now, please give me feedback (they asked for that backround, I can;t believe it... )

It's not a sig, I was just testing some stuff... Please tell me what you think...

Thanks, I'm getting the hang of some of the tools, Johnny's tutorials help alot with the tools, and Moonwitch's PM's told me alot about the Filters. So I owe them ALOT. I liked the font too, I did the words twice, and overlapped the red-orange one with the yellow, that made it more easily read, which helped. I'm regreting parts of the backround that I did, I used a mixture of Fractal and Grunge style brushes and some contrast clouds to do it, but now I wish I'd used more of the fractal because I liked the way it looked. This was the original render, I used a wind filter on it, and turned it red, but I really don't like what it did to the fireball he was holding...

I think this is the best sig I've done so far (the border still needs work, as does the font, and the backround needs a little bit of depth) Here's what I think it needs More contrast on font color. More detail on border. More background depth. Clearer render. Better blended render. Is that about right?

I hate the font and I hate the border, and it's too dark... But here it is... OK, lay it on me hard, be extremely honest and straightforward, tell me any slight problem with it...

OK, I still have to add the text, a border and some burshing on this, but am I going the right way?
