Rockman0's Siggies and Stuff
 
Welcome to Rockman's Banners and Stuff!!!

I've recently discovered more advanced features in Photoshop and now making banners and signatures have become a hobby of mine. It has also given me great practice for my future career, so bonus! ^_^

Some most recent siggies that I've done, but too lazy to link to are available at the link below:

Here are some samples of what I've done:

The phrase was gonna be "Respect my authoritay!" but that's a bit cliche, don't you think.


http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i126/viewtifuldee/Siggies%20and%20Banners/ranger-sig.gif
Would've had more to this, but I was lacking inspiration because I've never played a Pokemon Ranger game in my life!


http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i126/viewtifuldee/Siggies%20and%20Banners/infernobanner.png
Infernape has become one of my favorite Pokemon and so I used him to test my ability at making fire in Photoshop. NOTE: InfernapeFan392 does not exist.


http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i126/viewtifuldee/Siggies%20and%20Banners/luxray-banner.gif
This is the one I use for myself. Luxray is my favorite, and the lightning is epic. Don't you think so?

I did this for another member. Mew and Lugia are hugging...


http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i126/viewtifuldee/Siggies%20and%20Banners/porygonsig.png
Just did this one after I posted the thread. It's Porygon inside of a virtual reality room.

I think I'm getting better. Do you?

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i126/viewtifuldee/Siggies%20and%20Banners/zekram.png
Features Zekrom from Pokemon Black and White. The Pokemon is surrounded by both darkness and light.

So those are some samples of what I can do. If you would like a signature made, then just post a reply describing how you want it to look and what Pokemon, phrases, username etc., should appear.

I'm also looking for ideas of what to do, so even if you don't plan on using one of my sigs, I would appreciate it if you just gave me an idea of what I could do. Just to keep me busy. Thanks!

What version of Photoshop are you using?
I won't be too harsh (I can never be harsh when commenting so I'll leave that to other members) As most of the other graphics members here would say it looks like a plain render and text slapped on to a background. I suggest you take tutorials - They really help. Try make the text and render fit the background as well.

Keep practicing and you'll definitely get better

rockman0 May 25th, 2010 3:47 PM

Thanks for the advice. I'm using CS4. I've just started doing these, and any feedback is great.

I've been following different tutorials so I'm still just a beginner.

Skip Class May 25th, 2010 4:12 PM

I started around the same time as you but last year and I also started with CS4. I can say you are better of than when I started

Unforgettable May 26th, 2010 8:29 PM

These r so like awesome. do u make dem 4 ppl?

rockman0 May 27th, 2010 4:13 AM

Sure, if you want one, I can make one for ya. But I've just started using Photoshop and am trying to hone my skills so any kinds of ideas are great. ^^

NeonMewtwo May 27th, 2010 9:14 AM

I was wondering if you could do a Mewtwo-themed sig, with a mysterious, blue-colored background? As for phrases, have it say, "A mysterious Pokemon."

rockman0 May 27th, 2010 6:45 PM

I made two version, one with a fog effect and one without a fog effect. I used the tutorials for stocks and effects and all that jazz. I hope you like it.

NeonMewtwo May 28th, 2010 9:24 AM

I'm glad you like it.

Circuit May 28th, 2010 1:42 PM

Your latest one is definately your best. You need to work on your tags. More tutorials would probably help, and try finding different brushes and C4Ds. These can make your picture look so much more. Otherwse, just practise!

rockman0 May 28th, 2010 2:27 PM

Thanks for the feedback. I've been doing tutorials and posting new tags based on what I learned from them. You guys' feedback has also been really helpful.

Uecil May 28th, 2010 10:17 PM

That's quite a good start. I love your latest one though, it's a massive improvement from your last ones. Keep practicing; Practice makes perfect is what I always say. ;)
anyways Keep up the Awesome sig making.

rockman0 May 30th, 2010 7:11 PM

Thanks for the comment. I recently did this one for Zekrom. It's supposed to be cloud in darkness with bright light shining in the background, kind of like the way it was on the box art.

MaikeruS May 30th, 2010 7:49 PM

Nice! im using cs4 too, i havent been using it for a year yet, but i think im pretty decent :P

deva May 31st, 2010 8:49 AM

Hmm, the luxray is nice but overall everything is average. I suggest you look at some tuts, they helped me get where I am.

dragon0fangz July 28th, 2010 8:04 PM

im very capricious, i cannot stick to one thing for long. But, just for the heck of it, I want a fake Groudon. similar to my avatar, and probably say just dragon0fangz.

Edit: Wow, serious BUMP. May 31? Sorry.

Diablerie July 29th, 2010 12:45 AM

Hey, do you still make them for people?

rockman0 July 29th, 2010 9:51 PM

Yup, you bumped it. I'm not sure if the rule applies to shops though. Anyways:

@dragon0fangz: Could you explain what you want in more details. I'm not sure if you're asking for a banner or avy, or both, so just add some more details and I'll be happy to get started.

@Diablerie: Sure, I can make one for you. Just give me the details and I'll get on it.

P.S. Sorry it took a while to reply, I wasn't really expecting anyway to make a request. Thanks though. :)

Oh sorry, i wanted a sig, my current avatar is fine.
link here if you need:

For the sig, you can feel free to do whatever you want, but try to make it look ominous and threatening with a dark blue motif. Oh yeah, the text can be "dragon0fangz" with "the menace" underneath. Once again, sorry for bumping, i didnt even notice the date.

Diablerie July 29th, 2010 10:14 PM

Okay then, would you be able to create one for me then? I'm not too sure with the exact details... maybe something with Buizel and Dragonite on it, looking awesome?
Thanks! :)

rockman0 July 29th, 2010 11:14 PM

@dragon0fangz: Here you are. It feels a bit empty to me, but I couldn't think of more to add to it. Anything you think would make it better?

EDIT: I changed the pic because I realized I was cutting off its head.

Hmm, I could try something with that. Will start on it tomorrow. I am tired and have finals tomorrow.

Diablerie July 30th, 2010 1:27 AM

Oh and could you have Diablerie on it somewhere too, otherwise it isn't really a signature.
Thanks!

Inv4sion July 30th, 2010 9:27 AM

You dont have any of the following:
Lighting
Depth
Flow
These are all essential in a good tag. I suggest you start practicing these technices through tutorials and then create your own style or just pick how you wanna do lighting, depth, and flow. :D
