Apocalyptic Dream Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 In retrospect, I think I should've blended Shikamaru a bit better. Oh well. CnC please. Quote
Chiri-o Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 I personally don't like the raining thing. If you are going to do rain, you should look up a tutorial on how to make the rain drops splash on the character The words could be a lot more visible, they blend in too much with the background and raining.

Apocalyptic Dream Posted November 28, 2007 Author Posted November 28, 2007 The words could be a lot more visible, they blend in too much with the background and raining. Sigs that are dark and have words that are obvious take away from the entire image. I don't like obvious words in signatures unless it's a flamboyant sig. This helps explain it: Most text is done in two ways: either blended into the sig, or it is just a simple, easy to read, in your face kind of text. Like borders, it depends on your sig, and also on how well you can position the text. I tried making the rain splash on the character, but the render didn't work with it well. Quote
Seven Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 i lyke how you took the criticism badly. Heres my two cents: The text sucks balls, its hard to see, it doesn't add anything because the sig isn't very well thought out in the first place. "HAI LOOK ITS SHIAKRAMUDSFSDKJFLSDKJ IN RAIN!FDSKFJLSDKF MY RENDER SUCKS!" Take my Daughter's advice. It doesn';t lose anything, if anything it shoudl be visible isntead of a crappy water mark. Quote
Ash_x Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 (edited) ... I actually really like it ^^; I agree that Shikamaru could have been blended a little better... but other than that nice job! *Hi 5 for rain =D* Edited November 28, 2007 by Ash_x Quote
Cellar Door Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 The render isn't my favorite... but the rest is good. Quote

I didn't really take it badly, imo. I just explained why I did that. Tried to spark discussion about it, not be mean to someone who's trying to help. You're the one that seems to be jumping the gun, trying to defend your friend when I didn't even do anything wrong. Just because I'm new to the forums doesn't mean I'm a noob, and doesn't mean that you should try to team up on me just because you're elitist because your post count is higher and your member number is lower. No disrespect, but it might benefit the boards more if you're more inviting, rather then just trying to mock me and publicly degrade me. Your friends might giggle with you about it, but it's really just rude. Anyways. I think I'll change the render and redo it. Thanks for CnC, everyone. I'll post results. Edit: I fully predict I'll totally get my ass flamed and/or hated by a few people by this post. Edited November 28, 2007 by Apocalyptic Dream Quote
Rei Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 (edited) Seven be nice. Few are as good as you are in this department. Good work with the background. It makes up for the bland or ‘passive' render. Just because I'm new to the forums doesn't mean I'm a noob, and doesn't mean that you should try to team up on me just because you're elitist because your post count is higher and your member number is lower. Let's be Civil, and do not jump to conclusion. No one was calling you a noob, since the term is reversed for idiots who are entirely obvious to the systems. NA has few elitists and the few couldn't care less about post count. Edited November 28, 2007 by Rei Quote
shizuki Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 Here at NA, we consider all newcomers noobs, the bad kind of new people, until such a time as they prove themselves to be newbs, the good kind of new people. We're jaded like that. Minor side-note: Apoc, Ash_x, you aren't supposed to use animated avatars. Please change them. Quote
Fluffywerewolf Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 AD-Calm your ass down man. Seriously. Nobody here is trying to be an asshole. Grey and RN havent been on in a while. As rei pointed out, though it was hard to see, Seven has been doing graphix work for a long time. You can learn a lot from him, if ya ignore the harsh parts and take the lesson to heart. Quote

Civility includes not taking shots at inactive members. I doubt AD knows who either of them are, so there's no reason to bring 'em up. Quote
