Maybe that's how you got your name.

yeah


fastest sig maker in the west awecreep

Well....i don't know about that awecreep

it's the truth


I have always been first to hand in my sig on any of my duels.


the sig I am wearing took 5 minutes to make, the sig you are wearing took me less than 10

Mine don't take long either tbh......every sig can be made in like 3mins when you have photoshop, hi five for us using Photoshop CS3!

depends on what you're doing, you can't take 3 minutes when you're using c4ds and fractals


highfive

this is true

awesome

If you only take 5 minutes to make a sig, then you're not making very good ones

The one I'm wearing took about 45 minutes.

lol, I get bored easily

so I rush through them, depends on what sort of sig I'm making though.

Takes me about 40 minutes to make a signature.

Like the one I just made for the duel round 2.

I try on alot of things, and take away more then half of them, play around with clipping masks around, look through my huge array of C4D's, Brushes, and so on and see if anything will fit my sig to make it look good.

If i enjoy a subject i like to take my time.

I tend to take longer with my duels, I have too many c4ds and Fractals I want to use so it's hard


but on requests and sigs for myself, I usually don't take very long at all.

I went through and deleted most of my brushes (except for like two sets) and C4Ds, and most of the fractals I have and use are ones I made myself.

I usually just look for stuff like that as I work.

So, Peach... Tourney, plz?

can i just ask, what is a fractal exactly?

Art based on math, basically.

awesome that you can make your own stuff, want to learn myself one day

Fractals are easy to learn the basics of, hard to learn to do well.

*points to the discussion thread*

We've derailed this thread enough

I'd like to learn how to make the most out of Photoshop, there's so much potential within it.

Of course i doubt i would ever be able to make the top pro standards.

O.o This isn't a render...but I don't mind. Making the sig right now.

lololol, haha almost 2 pages later,

can't wait to see it

I can't wait to see what you will do with Heatman or/and Sparkman!

Megaman renders ftw.

they aren't renders awecreep

Quiet you

I tried to pick the most detailed Masters (by that i mean something was going on around them) to really spice things up.

Looks better on a dark background.

I like it

+ Variety of colours/colors used
+ Different lighting effects used
+ Different effects used
+ Great use of main image
- Could have made the main image a little brighter.

- Remove the white.

I shall have to think over who wins this, because honestly, they are both fantastic in my view.

damn you awecreep


btw, because of his positioning if he had light above his head then his body would be dark because his head blocks the light from getting to his body, that's why I made it dark also to create contrast awecreep




Neo, you are such a tease

Aren't i just awecreep

But honestly it is a hard one to call.

Ok, if this was judged on my personal taste i would give the win to Mr. Blanka, however judging by the book of technical, artistic and creative skill, i believe ScarletSpeed has covered more area's making him the winner this round, congratulations to.....Scarletspeed, commiserations to Mr. Blanka, you both did a fine job.

woo, cheers for the duel Blanka and thanks for judging, Neo

Well thank you for letting me do so, that was my first time judging and i really did enjoy it.

Congrats to SS

Good duel and great judging from neo

Mista Blankaaa we need to reduel
