[Show Off] My first sig for myselff, yay!

[Sick Blood]

okay this is my new Sig. i think its better then my last, I made a real background, used some layers, different brshes, smudges, and filters. And i like my render a lot.

Nice try for a first. You used the same render as in mine, but it shouldn't be so faded. You need to check some tutorials out if you really want to get good

( I Like this website: Photoshop Professor. Awesome.
I used it when I first started)

edit:
To specifiy, you probably just used a grass brush, and maybe some adjustments to opacity? There are too many things really to correct, just fllw a couple of those tuts, youll get a feel for it.

definitely check out some tutorials, nice start. you will get better,

I like it but theres so many colours.

nice for a first but really look at some tutorials and practice a bit and then post again. a few basics; add a border, make the text fit with the sig (can be done by putting it on overlay, picking colours that match). looks like youve used a lot of brushes, try smuding/blurring some of them so they create more of a background and depth. and then add some dark patches (with burn tool for extra depth)
lol and regarding the render im kind of disapointed now ive seen it now as i thought the colours on it were added by shiny for theirs, not actually part of the render, which was my favourite part. but try make your render match a bit more with the rest of the sig. e.g.pick primary/main colours from the render and implement them into the background and brushes, this will help to make it all blend together more effectively.

Okay well im making a new signature. I wasnt to incorperate a picture into it but I still cant find out how to take out the white background in the picture. Please tell me how i do this i cant figure it out.

you want to use a stock photo in your sig and want to remove the background so you have just the render? if so then basically you can use the eraser to erase the background. or more advanced wise you can use the pen tool to select the edges of what you want to keep (theres tuts or internet, sorry havent linked one il get one if you want) and then "invert selection" and delete the background.
but by the sounds of saying theres a white background it sounds like you have a pre rendered image. first save the render and the import it into photoshop, just copy pasting it doesnt work. if it still doesnt work you can use the magic wand tool to select and delete the white areas (make sure your canvas is transparent) or you can select a white area with the magic wand tool and go "select similar" and then delete the new white selection.


if this doesnt work just put a link to the image here and il try render it for you

[Shinyshoes]

well you can render yourself, or you can just use Planetrenders.net , way easier, just sign up for a free account and get already rendered figures to use in sigs n more.
