Fight Night And Metal Gear Solid Sigs

[Bkag 0]

I did two more sigs today, i have been getting frustrated with GIMP, so i have kinda given up on an earlier one (a counterstrike sig) which i havn't shown but needs some work but i cannot be bothered.

 

Anyway i think these two came out quite well, i downloaded some more brushes which i have used on these two.

 

Any constructive comments and critisism's are welcome

First thing I notice about your sigs is the borders, they tend to overwhelm the sig a bit. I suggest using only a 1 pixel border, it still defines the sig but does not make the border too obvious. The other thing that stands out is the lack of blending. It looks like you just slapped a render on a background without any thought as to how to make the render and background work together. The background colouring on the second sig does not match or go with the render at all. It would have been better with a colour similar to the render.All in all, I think both sigs could do with a lot more work. Sorry.

Thanks Avalon, i am still trying to fathom the whole blending thing, (im a n00b to gimp and sigs in general) ill try again tonight, i can't seem to find any tutorials explaining blending, whenever i do a background with similar colors to the render it seems to get "lost" in the background somwhat.I will cut down on the size of my boarders, thanks again.
