A SOTW for a different site, theme was nature




I recently quit GFX. I came to the conclusion that I have no creativity left. My friend forced me to attend the weekly sotw on a different site, and I came up with this. Flame me if you want, I can care less. I'm done with graphics.

Edit: I vectored this signature by myself, no renders, no stocks, no anything.

That's awesome. I love the picture, where did you get it might I ask? If only WDF was replaced with something else ha.

WDF is another name I go by (It's [[Whadafux]] )

I just thought about space and started designing.

What did you use? Photoshop? I really want a background like that, mind sharing some website information? Ha.

Like, a desktop background?

I could make you that >.>

I like it, but is space really nature?


FYI anyone wondering how to generate a starfield, use a noise filter and increase the contrast. Repeating until you get an effect like a starfield.

Create a new layer, on the new layer create difference clouds repeat the difference clouds (make sure you're on default black and white) until you get a veiny effect. Set the blending to screen. Set a low opacity. This gives the effect of gaseous clouds.

Not quite.

Fill your back ground with black
Filter > Noise > add noise
do it at 15%

Do Ctrl+L
From left to right: 70,.75,220

And you have a basic star background

Well I would love a background but at the moment I'm using my moms laptop since my PC is broken, stupid Video Card / Motherboard. Anyway, I think you did a great job, what did you do for the cloudy effect? A brush you had?

Yeah, I did some brushing -- though I think I did a horrible job on that part :\

Now that is much simpler, thanks for the tip/correction.

Looks really nice. You'll have to check out our SOTW in future :)

I would use this. :)

The only thing I'd change though is the font into bold or make it so it stands out more.

Really cool :)
Its a shame you quit GFX :(

Well, I'd love to continue gfx, though I have no creativity.. you know?

Why would I flame you when you just made an awesome signature?! O.o

The coloring is done perfectly and contrasts with itself quite nicely. The left to right visuals are balanced similar to a professional. On top of that you have something you did completely on your own and is very crisp and to the point in a sense.

I personally think I messed up on the outer glow on the planets, and the nebular. ;[

You sure this sig is yours? i've seen this in another forum like a year ago, and it looks exactly like one in a tutorial.

On the other hand, Good Job :)

I had a .psd if you want to accuse me of leeching. Another reason I'm quitting gfx is because of people can't just assume it's mine. tsk tsk.

Well if you want to be known around the world (yes, world) for your GFX skills, it's good that you put your name out there on multiple well known websites for graphics and arts. It'll get your name around the GFX community, you have talent and potential.

I'm not accusing you of anything, and if that offended you, im sorry, i just think it looks very similar.

it looks better than mine that i did from the tutorial.

Wut?




I know, but most people assume another person with a low p/c is a leecher 90% of the time. I'm proven to not be a leecher.
