master_me's Photoshopping (OT)

master_me · Posted: Wed Apr 05, 2006 7:08 pm Post subject:

I particularly like the emo one, just because it looks nice on my livejournal.

Originally a request on another forum, the user didn't take it so I revamped it and added the border - which I made pixel by pixel, ftr.

Quick note - it's a .png, so IE users will see a background in place of transparency.

All this in GIMP?! I can't even do squat in GIMP and very little in Photoshop *points at avatar and sig*. The effects = pure mix. IE7 has the transparency problem fixed.

Yet... there is one mistake... there's a non-transparent pixel in the background.

YES! Microsoft actually listened to my complaint! I sent them an email a long while ago (month or so) about the problem.

That white pixel I knew about XD;

I found this one a bit too bright, so I made this next one:

A bit too dark. Then I decided to do nothing at all:

A bit too flat. Urgh.

I'd also like to point that Sasuke didn't have his arm around Itachi like that when I found the renders, so some image manipulation went on to match them together.

EDIT: One last stab:

Photoshop = broken, but Imageready still works. I spent all day toying around with different filters. I made both of these without brushing.

Quadruple post, eek~ *shudders*

It's been a while since I posted anything.

Made that 2(?) days ago. I stumbled upon a new method accidentally, as always, and I honestly like this newer method.

The Sora sig looks great, as do some of your more recent works. I too like the Sora one a little more than some of your others, so the new method must be working!
Keep up the good work.

Yeah, that Sora on is great. I don't really like the Sasuke/Itachi one...I duno why. They seem off for some reason...maybe it's just me...XD

Yeah, I sort of hate everything that came before the CoM sig.

So, I was attempting to fix photoshop today and gave in when Turbo-dTa crashed while trying to download a .exe file. Imageready ended up unstable/broken in the process, so I couldn't really remake it. I luckily saved the background, so I recolored it and made something completely different:

PIXELS? OMG!

EDIT: As well as this:

Awesome work! I really like the Sage Harpuia sig- the Zero sig looks good too, but wow! I like the Harpuia one a little more. The set-up with the statistics and the sprite just looks great. Edit- I like the second Zero one better than the first, because of the interesting border work.
Keep it up.

Thanks, Mugen. The Zero one was a bit better layed out in my opinion, but I do like both of them~

Could I request to use the 2nd Zero sig, as well as the Sage Harpuia (I have access to rotating sigs (via RikkusRukkus thnx))? I will give credit where it is due, of course.

Nice graphics! I like the border on the Harpuia sig and the gray with white Zero sig is awesome too ^_^. Also the banners that you posted before looks nice, I like them all. The digital/squary effect you used in some of your sigs looks proffesional as well. Good work~

Aye, thanks~ Feel free to use whicever sigs you like.

This one was me testing four components, (the blurring on Blues, shiny text, shiny border, and background) and I think I'll be using a few of the methods again.

2x post, urk

So, this was a test. Lol, again. It turned out very nicely, so I tried it again and added some other neat things:

I got this, which I particularly adore.

This was something else. Actually, this was only about ten layers. I was playing around mostly with lighting effects. I love it though :3

It's certainly been a while since I last updated.
So, news - photoshop got fixed!
I've made a lot since, but I've got a few favorites:

Samus Sig
My first smudge+c4d. I think it turned out well, with the exception of the strange little green spot.

Freezeman Sig
Some simple brushing, along with a good number of layers contributing to the overall brightness and coloring. I didn't like it too much at first, but I've grown to appreciate it.

Model HX Sig
I really like this one, especially because of the text on the side. The three squares seemed like a nice addition, as did the eagle. Mostly c4d.

Tech Abstract Wallpaper
1024x768. Came out much sharper than the others, though I've also got 1200x800 and 1600x1200. The large abstract c4d was made by me.

Aw the yoshi sig is very cute ^^. I'll be snagging the roll and yoshi sig ^^. If may I ask, where do you get these cool techny brushes? (like in the roll sig) Keep up the great work, and I'm also liking that Abstract wallpaper that you've made :]

Actually, I don't use brushes. I try to avoid them as much as possible. I can point you into the direction of some very fine photoshop tutorials, though.

This is my new favorite sig Smile
