    Definitely good for a second time user, but you really need to practice on using C4Ds, and other stuff. Another suggestion would be that you make your backgrounds a bit bigger because they hardly stand out. The main focus should always be the monster/render, but the background should compliment them, and if the render is taking up the whole space then it doesn't look very well, but definitely better than anything I did when I was a beginner.

    I like what I did with Raviel the most. I had to cut out his wings so I could show off the background a bit more. What would you guys have done instead?

    Wow, I say I like the 3 Sacred Beasts- I liked how you collided the color elements, it makes it stand out especially for the 2nd one. The 3rd one's backgound has awesome effects, great job on that one. Smile

    My latest:
    Mino's Works Junk11
    The only thing I regret about this is putting the lens flare.
    I realized after I had already lost the render that the lens flare makes
    the rest of the sig look bad. So when you rate this, ignore the lens flare lol.

    the lens flare makes me focus on it rather than the render so yeah big no no. I like the C4D usage for t he background, but i'd like to see you work with a color other than red x] it's more challenging. You're getting better.

    @ Nhant: That's Ichigo in Hollow form from Bleach, but you can't tell because of the flare. /facepalm x20 for that. I added it, thought I deleted, merged the layers, etc etc, and didn't take a second look until uploading.

    Well anyway. I added a new one.
    Its Chaos Sorcerer. I tried to keep it simple. Black and White.

    I would suggest that you right click this and go to view image.
    I did make a borderline, but its not visible with the black background.


    Anyone have any help for text?
    I'm really bad at it. I used wordart here.

    I actually think the blending is nice. Correct me if I'm wrong, you used a stock and then did the manipulations rather than having render and making up a background right? In any case I think it looks really nice. I would however work on the lighting. Right now it is monoglare ( another word I made up to mean, there is no depth in your sig between light and dark areams), since its all just basically bright. Add some shaded areas and it would look evem more amazing.

    Today's siggy:

    Mino's Works Drakes12
    I feel like this one is empty, so tomorrow I'll be editing this too.
    I didn't have much time to make it, so I kinda rushed.

    I totally didn't see your posts until just now.

    @ Flo: Thanks. Will do. I'll edit it tomorrow and post up a revised version. And I actually rendered it myself, then created a gradient bg, brushed on and stuff, then added in the bubbles and squares c4d. Finally I just placed the render on top and manipulated it to make it a part of the sig.

    @ TJ: I can't seem to load the fonts into photoshop. I'll go youtube it xD.

    Spoiler:

    It looks WAAAAY BETTER in a black background.:

    Didn't have enough time to make a siggy.
    I'll make 2 tomorrow and edit the previous ones.

    I need some help creating shadows in my renders. Any help?

    Some font's not worked but the others work actually. 1st of all click "download"(if i was remember) then go to folder where u're placed after you downloaded(I'm sure the file is winzip or winrar). After that extract the font in any folder, copy it, then go to (C:)~>WNDOWS~Font. Paste it and you're done Very Happy. This step only work with XP but don't get mad, you can see on the front page dafont.com here it says...
    How to install a font ...
    Unzip the files you have downloaded, then:

    * Windows 7/Vista: Right-click on the font files > "Install"
    * Windows XP: Put the font files into C:WindowsFonts
    * Mac OS X: Double-click the font file > "Install font" button. Other OS...


    If still can't click

    I think all the Drake sig really needs is a c4d. All I did there was put in a background that I made just by brushing. I have to fix both of those, so you'll be seeing them here.
