Johnny 1 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 Okay, few things to point out... One, the most obvious one...don't drag your brushes. Try to use a different brush every time you click, so it doesn't look so repeated, or at least try fiddling with brush settings to make it shaped differently or scattered... Two, don't use that brown, especially in a monotone sig. It just looks bad. Three, don't blend the render so much. If you can't see it, it kinda defeats the purpose of it being there. Four, you can get better fonts from http://www.dafont.com/de/. And that's it for now, really. You can get to more advanced stuff later on. One last thing. Read tutorials. Read lots and lots of tutorials. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phyre 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 Tutorials are your friends...thats how I learned. And as Johnny said, stay FAR away from dragging your brushes....and use a variety. An interesting color may help, or make it multi-colored. Try adding a border as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyssen 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2005 You wanna look at optimising your graphics better as well cos 423k for an image that size is way too large. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fffanatics 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2005 Yeah i agree. Read more tutorials, shrink the size of the image, and also change the brush....i would use some more blending and change to color cause i personally dont like the dark red you used...it makes the text hard to read.Another suggestion would be to add some back-shadow to the text and an inner glow so that it is more readable and more a center of attention then something blended into the background Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good Tutorials and pixel2life? Tutorials are your friends...thats how I learned. 151100[/snapback] Too bad I can't look at all tutorials...espcially not those that use extensive images to document their every move. Takes forever to load on 56K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have lots and lots of fonts. But often times I use the same ones, just with different styles (lower caps, for example, or outline, or whatever.) Yeah, I go to GT, P2L, and Gamerenders. (Gamerenders has freakin' everything man. ) You should get cable/dsl. It's teh sex. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phyre 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2005 If you're gonna go for DSL, I say try out http://www.dslextreme.com/ cheapest prices i've seen. As for tutorials, I prefer Good-Tutorials for photoshop, because it mainly focuses on Adobe products and updates more often. Pixel2Life is good for 3D modelling and such as well. Lookie there...what's Terry Bogart doing here? King of Fighters > Street Fighter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
