I'm sorry, but that sig sucks. I'm guessing you used paint?

[Admiral44]

I told you that I'm new to this and yes I used paint! Can't figure out how to make em in Photoshop. :P
Got another one.
spelt another wrong. I was in rush!

[Laguna Loire]

I'm just being honest here mate....Those sigs really suck. Sorry, but remind me NEVER to use paint when I make sigs...I find Photoshop quite easy now. What it takes is time, experimentation and practise...:)

[Invader_gir]

lol
paints terrible to use as a sig thing, but i find that it is possible to do stuff...

heres one that i had used ages before i started with adobe PS... its quite bad but i still like it

[Admiral44]

Here's one I made with Anobe Imageready.
http://tinypic.com/5oais
Pretty average but better then the others.

[Invader_gir]

[Admiral44]

I shouldn't of put Mario! If I didn't I could've put Team Sonic...Another sig. Best one so far! ;)

[Laguna Loire]

Sweet new sigs Golden! Much better than the ones you made with paint....:D

[Admiral44]

Thanks. And the person who taught me....LIQUID SNAKE! Hmm here's 1.

[Laguna Loire]

Lol, I hardly taught you anything mate. Just told you all the basic stuff to make a sig. You did the rest. :) Great new sig by the way.

[Admiral44]

Edsacly.need to learn how to spell some of these words Don't have another one at the moment but I'll have another soon. :-)

[[N]eto]

A signature requires more than a background, text, and some images. Keep practicing.

[Shadowfax]

Go to http://www.good-tutorials.com/ .

It has Photoshop tutorials, and if you use the search and type in "sig", they have tutorials on things like making a sig, and sig borders as well.

So take a look at it. Your progress is very quick, so it should not be long.

[Laguna Loire]

Yeah...They're good sigs, but you need more practise. Try mixing textures with colours and stuff like that...Like I said, to make a good sig you need time, experimentation and practise.

[Admiral44]

I'll be practicing alot because I'm getting Photoshop for free! :D
Here's a sig I made for my mom.

EDIT-One for my sis.

This cannot be stressed enough!

Thats how you learn to make sigs, we all did it, use tuts, until they care sticking out your nose.

[[N]eto]

That's how I learned to create certain effects, not signatures nor projects. =)

[Admiral44]

This one has to be the weridest one I've made.
http://tinypic.com/5r42x

[Laguna Loire]

You are making progress.....But try to experiment with the background, rather than have it just one simple colour. See what you can do with it. I'd reccomend reading those tutorials on the link Shadowfax gave. There's some good tutorials on that page...

[Admiral44]

I can't make sigs like yours alright! I can only make plain stinking sigs. Unless someone will teach me how to do animation and stuff like that then leave me alone... :( i can't figure out how to do the turorials :P Got another one I guess...

[Shadowfax]

At least try to explore the filters in Photoshop. It seems you use none, except for that other sig, so experiment. That is how most of us are as we are today.

[Admiral44]

EDIT-Never mind. I didn't read all of Shadowfax's post. :P

[Laguna Loire]

Lol, alright mate. Only making suggestions, that's all. Do what you want with your sigs. They are your sigs after all. Don't use filters if you don't want to. :)

[Giiga]

try drawling things on them to make it look filled up more. :) instead of just pictures.

[Josh]

try this right right here

do everything they say

if you can do that you have a future in sig making

(my tutorial)

[Admiral44]

Here's a nice sig I made Fire Element Lord.

Here's a sig i was messen with. Just to get used to filters.

another tip make your sigs 400x100

[Admiral44]

.................For the last stinkin time. I'll do the freaken sigs the way i want to!

[Nitrous]

Hay Sonic freak calm down will ya.... he's only giving you advice and yes most sigs should be 400x100 pixels like Sora said or smaller.

[Admiral44]

Me don't care. I make sigs size i want to.

[Shadowfax]

Actually, the maximum is about 512 X 120 about, so his falls within range.

[Admiral44]

Actually, the maximum is about 512 X 120 about, so his falls within range.
I thought so....Any one know a good place to find some cool dragon images?

[[N]eto]

Actually, the maximum is about 512 X 120 about, so his falls within range.

It would be preferred if they were smaller, though.

[Admiral44]

eto']It would be preferred if they were smaller, though.
Well I make 400 X 150 because I use images in my sigs alot and they sometimes don't fit and I like em big. Those are my reasons. Me have sig.
http://tinypic.com/5yxwl

[Dragon Lord]

*Claps* Getten better bro. ;)

[Laguna Loire]

400x100 is the typical size...That's what I always use for my sigs. But don't get all f*cked up about it mate. Only trying to help...If you didn't want advice, why bother posting this thread in the first place?

[Admiral44]

To show-off. :P I think I would be a better avy maker then sig.... choices, choices.
Best sig I would say right here!
http://tinypic.com/9zm8x

[Shadowfax]

See if you can spend more time by erasing the edges a bit to make them smoother. I can see the pixels.

[Admiral44]

When I erase the background. I erase some of the hand or the leg or something. But me will try.

[Laguna Loire]

Nice flames in the background...But yeah, what Shadowfax said. Try erasing the edges. :)

[Admiral44]

I'll just have to remember how I did those flames again and erase the edges.
Didn't use the flames but this will do.

[Shadowfax]

Umm...I kind of meant use the Magic Wand tool, so it's faster and more accurate.

[Josh]

or you can use the polygonal lasso tool, just veiw your pic as big as possible then use it even if your like a centimeter away it still comes out better

[Admiral44]

Umm...I kind of meant use the Magic Wand tool, so it's faster and more accurate.
I wish ya'll would tell me right! It won't erase with Magic wand! I'll try lasso next. *Trys it* Same results.
Here's a cool one.
http://tinypic.com/a2ozn
http://tinypic.com/a2ozn

[[N]eto]

If you use the Magic Wand, it will select an area that is entirely the same color as what you selected. Then press Ctrl+X simultaneously in order to cut that area off, which in this case would be the outer areas.

[Admiral44]

I've got a sig right here.
http://tinypic.com/a493d
http://tinypic.com/a493d
A little ruff around the edges, but it's okay.

[Josh]

you got the backgrounds off now try using some new fonts and effects

[Laguna Loire]

Your new sig looks awesome Sonic! I like the background and all the sonic characters you've put in it. Nice job! :)

What Sora said. Try out some new fonts and effects...Stuff like that. :)

[Admiral44]

What's fonts??????? Is it the style of the name of something. My head hurts...
New sig.
http://tinypic.com/a4flt
http://tinypic.com/a4flt

[[N]eto]

Actually, you should try to blend those characters within the background. What most people usually do is give the background characteristics so that it matches the character they have applied into it. Now you have a decent looking background with a bunch of random characters in the foreground.

[Admiral44]

I'm confused? My brain hurts....

[Giiga]

I think [N]eto means just make a background that matches some of the pictures colors. :-) Great sigs!

[Admiral44]

Blue? Red? There all diffrent colors!

[[N]eto]

That's why you usually limit yourself to one or two characters.

[Laguna Loire]

What's fonts??????? Is it the style of the name of something. My head hurts...
New sig.
http://tinypic.com/a4flt
http://tinypic.com/a4flt

Fonts are the style of text you use in your sigs. You are using the Courier font, are you not?

[Admiral44]

I don't know. i'll make a new sig right now. *Sig in progress*
EDIT-I don't know how to change the font but I've made a new sig.
http://tinypic.com/a5bf8
[*IMG]http://tinypic.com/a5bf8[/IMG*]

[Nitrous]

You know Golden Sun, Sonic Freak or what ever you call your self these days lol I have lost count of how many different sigs have loaded up on this page.

This one you got now with the blue backgorund and images looks better but you really should use a different font type.

[Laguna Loire]

To change your font, click on the 'T' icon to type text. In the top left hand corner, you should see one of those drop down bars with the word 'Courier' in it. Click on the arrow on the bar and you should see loads of different fonts to choose from. Try out different fonts with different colours, sizes etc...

[Admiral44]

I've figured it out and am I confusing you Nitrous? *Sig in the making again* :P
http://tinypic.com/a72td
[*IMG]http://tinypic.com/a72td[/IMG*]

[Giiga]

I have a question, why do you put the URL to your sig that your using so that others can use it?(just curious) Well true you need a different font that isnt like the paint ones. it would be better. :)

[Admiral44]

So I can put it into my signature dummy. :P But I could do a diffrent way... There isn't any other Sonic Freak's on this site. Are is there... :eek::P

[Laguna Loire]

Good...Your sig looks a lot better with a different font. I don't really like Courier font personally. :)

[Admiral44]

Here's another one. IMAGE FREE! :P It's kinda like Graffiti.

[Shadowfax]

The second one is good! You have come a long way in such a short time.

[Admiral44]

There's a reason why i'm in T.A.G. (Talented and Gifted) Thanks for the comments and help guys and gals. :P

Haha, Talented and Gifted, that's a good one.

[Admiral44]

I'm not kidding....

[Josh]

yeah thats real im in it too its a school thingamubob

still all your doing is puting pics on a background

a wis chilli once told me that a siggy is not a pic on a background it is a peice of art that should consume your time

[Admiral44]

It's better then doing stuff in class. :P I'm working on my sig making abilties. Anyone got a challenge for me so I can practice? :cool:

No one can fulfill my requests, so I'd rather not.

[BloodRunsCold]

[Shadowfax]

eto']No one can fulfill my requests, so I'd rather not.
I don't know about that...


@Sonic Try doing some of the requests in the request forum. I think some are a challenge.

[Josh]

and when your doing a tutorial try adding your own filters and afects to them
