Soul Reaver Smudge

2nd attempt at smudging.

Just throw out whatever you think..

Frist thing I noticed was the typography. It doesn't seem to go well with the sig. Now, moving on to the smudging. Not bad for your second attempt at smudging, I know I did much worse. The sig could use a little more flow to it. I like the stock though. Just stick to smudging, it seems like you have quite some potential to smudge like DI. I gave up halfway. >_>

Yeah I really had no idea what type of font to use or even how to blend it in for this sig so I'm definitely looking to improve that if anyone's got some tips. Thanks though Impulse.

Also is there something about NL that makes sigs look different? I posted it on another site that uses a darker theme so I'm not sure if it's just because it's on pure white here and not on the other site.

Font sucks, can't reallyh see the BG; blending is OK. Not bad, overall. 7/10

Sharingan Prince · 01-30-2006, 09:58 AM

its quite good i think....de colour matching is quite good...but i dun realli like de stock...de rest is ok i guess...8/10

No background Uchiha.

Just a gradient, the blue part is behind the stock.

That makes me think.. I wonder how it would look if the gradient was reversed.. hmm.

goku100 · 02-01-2006, 01:41 PM

Wow that does look kinda cool, though it seems a little dark and the BG seems a little plain^^

Your backround needs alot more to it, a good backround can't come from just smudging.

Try to add more to it, at that blend the stock more once you get to the point of adding more, and then blend the text so it dosn't hurt the eye.

About the NL skin making it look "diffrent." A darker backround emphasizes more of the light aspects, lighter backround the dark, so its like adding diffrent forms of contrast.

When I posted both here and Naruto Mania I had to make two versions of the same sig everytime to get the look right.

Rockshmo · 02-04-2006, 07:00 PM

Hm I thought so.. I was getting confused as to why nobody else addressed that issue.

The next one I try I'll work on a better bg, text, and blending.. this one I just wanted to get the smudging down. Thanks for the criticism everyone.
