Some Signatures

Here are some signatures I made in the past... Hope it's nice. I did this all in Photoshop.


Please Comment.. This is my first post!
For #'s 1,2,3, I didn't use any brush except smudging. Sorry if some of them are in .jpg

:( No one wants to comment?

It took me 3 minutes to realize picture #1 was of Master Chief. That's not a good thing.

I'm not really digging the crazy fuzzed up effect you've got going in Pics 1-3, it looks way too sloppy. And what the heck is at the end of that (what I'm assuming to be a) gun barrel in pic 3? It sure ain't bullets. I'm also not huge on the one of Samus. Her suit should be more orange, the lighting is really bad on her gun, and I can't see what she's shooting. It looks like she's sucking big smoke clouds in front of a sun.

#5 looks okay, but it doesn't look much more beyond taking the anime character and putting it on the background.

#6 is okay. Bit too dark, not sure who that is. Blood looks okay, but some splatters (Small brush, Jitter effect on full, dissolve style, 20-60 fade out) of blood would've looked really nice, IMO.


You've got something going, I'll say that. Most people, when they make sigs, just cut and paste someone's name on a picture and hand it back. Hope I didn't discourage you, it's just CC after all.

1,2,3 are pretty cool. I could tell that it was master chief, but I've also seen thousands of master chief sigs so that gives me an advantage. I could tell you who was cloud from a mile off so again an advantage. However in the third one the marine on the right is hard to see, the marine faded on the left is good.


I think if they where larger it would be much easier to tell what was what, and enjoy the effects.

-(just make sure to use images with higher resolution so it isn't a pixel fest)-

4 Is pretty good (Thats Samus), the gun kinda dies into that vortex though possibly moving the vortex out or making it more like a material object would help. 6 has a nice dark effect, seems very grunge to me. If they where larger I think they would be better.

5 is alright; I've never really been a fan of little girls in my sigs though so I'm biased lol.

You're going a little heavy with the smudge brush. It honestly is not making a very good effect on those pictures. Especially Master Chief's gun. it looks like it's on fire. Or something. With the exception of #5, all of the sigs you've presented are very unclear/blurry. You need to make them more refined and lay off dissolve and smudge brushes, because they make a very sloppy effect, and it's not working.

You also need to work on where you put those random massive glows, (eg: Marine rifle, Samus's gun, cloud burst in Cloud pic.) and I would definitely recommend making the main figure in those sigs stand out more. Especially with the Master Chief one. Master Chief surrounded by smudged green on a green background with a green gun does not stand out at all.

cloud strife doesnt look like cloud strife, and i too took atleast 3 seconds to realize that was the great MC. it looks like his right shoulder is sort of disintegrating, and you should be completely able to see his helmet, that how most people recongnize MC. Cloud's buster sword is not fully visible, and i dont ever remember cloud having a scarf...
i dont think samus was badly done though, i think its one of the better ones.

overall, i think you should continue doing photoshop, but define everything abit more, dont leave out important visual aspects (buster sword, MC's helmet, etc.)

Thanks for the replies. I used Displacement.

These are amazing.
