D.Phoenix's sigs

Seeing as I won the 9th Sig contest (did not find out until now >__>๐Ÿ˜‰, I'll make a thread, not to brag, as I'm still wondering why I won >__>.

My GIMP life
I stopped making sigs around 3 years ago as my PC crashed and I lost most of my sigs, all renders, brushes, stock work, etc. I had made quite a few that I liked, but I never uploaded any of those onto a site like PB etc. So I said **** it and stopped.
Decided to start up again for the sig contest.

Meh.

One of first sigs (around #5 I think) I made before the 'crash'. Didn't blend the head of Tidus very well, and I made it look like there was an eye with veins behind him ๐Ÿ˜‚

Another one of those pre-crash sigs.

Highlight of this sig imo, the triple Gaara. Shoulda made one a different color, maybe represent the two sides of his conscience. Though that version of Gaara just wanted to kill so I unintentionally got it right.

The third and final pre-crash sig that I had uploaded onto Photobucket.

Really like the render and the fonts. Other than that, meh.

Teh sig that won me that contest ๐Ÿ’ƒ

Yah, no kidding.

very nice

My latest sig. Really looking forward to this game (Darksiders).

Great stuff man.

Here's the sig with the border. It's in png format, and really huge, so I won't be able to use border version if I decide to use the sig here. shitsux.

Try this. It's now ALOT smaller.

Nice. Thanks. How'd you compress it?

Photoshop, save for web with the maximum amount of colors and it topped off at around 47kb.

Sweet. I'd use PS, but I'm used to GIMP.

Yeah, should you need any other sigs resized or compressed, just let me know.

Thanks man, appreciate it. Though I'll probably just make the sigs in Jpeg. That should keep the signature's size under KMC's limit.

I do that at times too, but sometimes, goddamn does it make a difference. Jpegs blur the crap out of pic with bright colors. Goodluck with your sig making and I'll stop by and check your work.

Latest sig I made.

While I like what I did with the render and the blood (which is a big deal for me >__>๐Ÿ˜‰, I don't think the BG fits properly. Guess I just changed my overall view for the sig half-way through.

your signatures are really nice the only thing id say youd need to work on is that you blend too well by that i mean its hard for the ones who didnt make it see what the focal point is. im referring to your last two.

i can kind of see the face at the top of your current but the signature just kinda looks like a mass of colors. ๐Ÿ˜›

Slightly better quality. It's a .png format, so it appears sharper. The previous one was a jpeg. At the time, I thought posting images had a limit too, which is why I uploaded the jpeg >__>.

Hehe, thanks. Will try to keep that in mind next time.

Mass of colors. That does describe it pretty well ๐Ÿ˜›. (You're referring to the "No Mercy" sig right?)
