it's made with the pentool in illustrator or photoshop.

pure ownage composition

No offense, but I think that's a lot of people's problem nowadays, in the GFX world.


Sure, these are amazing. Breathtaking. But to just sit there and say "I'll never be that good" won't DO you any good. You need to just keep pressing on and upward, and keep striving to be better. Just sitting back and doing nothing won't get you anywhere.

Personally, these inspire me to do better than I am now. I always learn new things from looking at them. They make me want to strive and give it everything I have. I hope to be Pro-level one day. And by looking at these works, I get inspired to get there.

Again, just sitting and saying you want to be good won't do it. You need to try your best and give it your all. :)


Great post, Frate. This should be stickied IMO.

I know, MArthmaster. These things both realise how bad I stink and are inspirational, as they were intended. I will probably never be able to get to the level of the above, but this definetly makes me want to improve.

Don't count yourself out, mate. I thought I'd never be as good as Saberhof, when I first started. Now i'm able to hold my own against him. *no offense 'hof*

Exactly!

The part I put in my signature ("You can't do sigs as good as these and never will") is basically just to scare off the graphics johns. with some practice you'll make stuff as good as these or better (though, it can take a year or several). :laugh:

I aspire to be as talented as this. This brings out the true artistic element in graphic design. Got any tutorials?

Those are not signatures. Those are art.

Place I love for inspiration has got to be depthcore.com or desktopography.net <- Also my source for desktops as you could guess :p

These are the best sigs I have ever seen on any site, ever.
I'd also like to emphasize those concepts that were painted. Those concepts are very professional and are an inspiration to myself, personally.
Thank you for sharing this; it was well worth it.

Real nice art you've got there, Kyu! Also, some of these sigs in the original posts aren't too bad, but I think they could be better. I've just seen better ones that are similar in my day, and Kyu is quite unique, so I give him that.

Amazing stuff. I'm almost tempted to start sigging again.

A lot of the images in the OP have broken links, I wonder if Livvers or someone can clean it up a little.

You're Skystrife? I'm a fan of just about every sig I've seen made by you.

Nope. This thread is for amazing, high quality sigs (or LPs if you want) for inspiring people who want to improve/are in a slump.

If you want someone to make you something, post in a sig shop. I think this is the only one open right now ---> http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=281983

Good luck!

Uhh hrmm, I don't think so. Like I said that shop is the only open one right now. Most of the work in this thread was made by people outside of SWF
