Raimu's Gallery Thread

[Raimu]

Oh, oh, my turn, my turn!

Uh.. what to show here.... For sigs, I'll try to get a good variety going.

This one is supposed to have a retro feel to it. I like it

I was going for subtle colors here.. I think I went a little too subtle, its almost boring IMO.

Animated!... other than that its not amazing (Grey block is to match another forum's BG.

Uhhhg.. this one got dark on me, and its bad, an experiment that I haven't really elaborated on.

Text mask XD

C4D's and starcraft Seriously, nothing else there.

I think this one is 4-5 layers, very minimalist, for me anyway. Some texture brushes, linedot brushes, both images, and a base layer.


As for... other artwork... I got me a metaknight?

I haven't drawn much recently, its a shame, but I plan on doing some more stuff soon, so hopefully I'll have updates.

Anyway, thoughts or critique is welcome.

So this is a gallery thread? I kinda like most of them. Last one is bad though, and on the animated link one you could've just used transparent instead of bucketfilling the bg with the color picker tool. That way it would fit on any site.
Photoshop or GIMP?

 

[Raimu]

Photoshop, myself.

Normally I would use a transparent background layer (like the SMJ and guy Lafleur sigs), problem with that is, the animation causes the shape mask to have some issues, pesky little rouge white pixels that seem to pop up everywhere if you save it in .gif format. The other shape sigs are saved as .png(24)

yeah same reason the sig rotater looks terribad.

 

[Raimu]

Thread name clarified.

Also, whats a sig rotater D:?

 

[IDK]

Where you do an animation of one sig after another so you have more than one sig kinda. They just lose quality.

 

[Raimu]

Oh, yea, I did a few of those. I quit for obvious reasons... too time consuming, less quality.

 

[Lucas_User]

cool stuff.

 

[Inyro Gatling]

Nice stuff, especially with your third tag. Overall, your backgrounds don't really jump out at the viewer, and your focals feel a little like they've been pasted on top, instead of being fully incorporated with the tag.

=)

Time consuming?

 

[nessqk]

wish i could draw nice stuff tho

 

[Raimu]

Time consuming?

Yes, I did requests, so , people would request instead of making them one sig, I made them like 5 (it got out of hand) and had them rotate.

So, no more animated sigs, more rules on people who abuse poor sig-makers like myself XD
