This has been confined to the under used Team Hydro art Gallery.

Might as well post it where more people can see it...

Just on over view, I didn't like the text very much, and I probably should have had a base background for it.

Made in Semi-Abstract grunge style, can't remember where the render came from.

1px Overlay border on it. 60% Opacity in white.

Text is Barbed ink with a soft light gradient on another layer.

I played around a bit with the saturation on the ship, because before it was green-red.

Mark 2. Nothing special, looks better though.

To be honest, the technical terms just flew over my head, :wink: I'm one of those people that just use Paint and the most my volcabulary goes to where art is concerned is "sketch" and I have just about grapsed "background." :wink:

I get a nautical feel from it, perhaps becuase I already knew that it was a Hydro banner and thus already had an idea of what it might look like, but I think it is very nice.

9/10 - The text is a little...dunno, some posh word that you might have used above. :wink:

Opaque? I forgot to save as a PSD so it will have to stay... I think....

Opaque wasn't the word I was searching for, I think it was the colour scheme that did it. But it looks cool enough. If you paint over a painting, you get a monstrous hybrid. I'm sure I read that somewhere and found it profound. That, or I dreamt it and found it amusing and so, subconciously imprinted it upon my mind. Weird...

I know some of the terms, what program are you using?

Personally, I don't like the text much either, and maybe the area around the text could have been a littlemore interesting. Thats all.

But its still really awesome. I love the grunge on the bottom :P

I've already commented on it I believe, so there's no need to add emphasis on how good it is =p

Oh and for someone who fails at art I'm amazed I understood some of the terms you mentioned.

Ok number 2 is up. New text and I switched some crap around.

Dragonite, most of that is abstract apart from after effects.

O_O

I would give away every video game in my collection to be able to make sigs like that. I give it 9.5/10 for the first one (the text is a little hard to read), and a 10/10 for the second one.

Anyway, I get what you mean about the saturation and opacity, but I get completely lost on "soft light gradient". I have one question: Is "Barbed Ink" the font name, or is it something else? If it is a font style, could you tell me where you got it from?

The best ones are eroded, destroyed and horror IMO.

The second signature's font is called Rufa.

Tomorrow I'm going to work on the render a bit, still slightly choppy XD. Maybe get a new one altogether.

Can't wait for the next sig!

Try sorting by popularity, you get all the good ones.

The second one looks a lot nicer. I'd say I wish I could make sigs like you, but if I was able too, I wouldn't be able to appreciate anyone else's, :wink: (There's a complement hidden in there.)

Thanks, both of you, I think the second one is better because the border is also a lot more prominent.
