After doing some searching on 22Pixel Flock & DeviantArt for some tutorials, I was able to improve my skill from this:




To this:

You have another gallery already open, you could've posted your update there...


Anywho, most of your sigs are way too busy and it's kinda hard to find who's in each one.

A big improvment! =) but I would still watch out for too powerful lighting, and over saturation. I look forward to your next update.

Thanks Blindo, I'll keep that in mind.

A good technique to use is that, when your piece is too saturated. Go to : layer---> new adjustment layer----> hue/saturation; and then just lower the saturation bar by dragging it to the left until you find a good even level for the piece. =]

Some More (400x150)

UPDATE(top is most recent)!!!

Rider



Asuka sigs (they're the same; one is more saturated than the other)



Yuna(was gonna use this for the final fantasy SOTW contest)



Roy Mustang



Renton



Bender



Hughes



C&C

Coloration on most of the sigs is odd and they're all over sharpened.

Keep up the good work, I wanna see more improvement.

Yea, I admit I'm WAY addicted to the sharpen filter. I'm trying hard not to use it too much. Thanks IBF!

Try using a softbrush eraser on a low opacity to erase areas that are WAY over sharpened.

Yeah the sharpening is bizzare. o-o But you're oversaturating everything as well, which can be good and bad, it doesn't look the greatest in this case...If you oversaturate things too much, you lose image quality, like in your Roy sig, his face is turning orange, but the other half is the original skin color.

My favorite out of the ones you've made is your Rider sig, the image is almost too small though.

yup you do have a problem with the sharpness and over saturation but also your roy mustang sig is too dark and both of your asuka sigs are too bright

I really do like your style though if you perfect it. I like the "crazy commotion" style of sigs. good job

UPDATE!!!


This time I tried not to use the sharpen filter too much and just use the sharpen brush tool.

MF Doom(1 of my fave rappers).



Conti



Jessica Alba


C&C PLZ!!!

OH MY GOODNESS MUCH BETTER! now those are some professional sigs i must say. EPIC every stock is blended in perfectly, jessica alba is hot, text is awesome, jessica alba is hot, it isn't oversaturated or too bright/dark, jessica alba is hot, and jessica alba is hot. that's about it great job

Thanks kyoui!

Oh, my... Wow. What an improvment.
The Canti sig is AMAZING. Just the top-right corner bugs me, other than that everything is fine.

The person in the first sig I had trouble seeing at first. The BG is a little too busy. Colors are good.

I like the Jessica Alba sig, my only problem is the spots by her are a little over saturated. The text is pretty good.

Good job.

Actually, I entered this sig:

for the winged characters SOTW theme. It wasn't really all that great though; I only got like 1 or 2 votes for it. The next SOTW contest I'm entering though.

UPDATE!!!

Sig for a 4 way Battle I'm currently in w/ Inu-yasha, IBF, & Kurinshin (Vote 4 Me PLZ!!!):


Soul Eater's Black Star & Tsubaki (great show btw):
