How To Make...

[StarCaller]

...A easy but still good looking signature.

 

I made this guide for the community and for all the forum user out there. Be more on the forums for more awesome stuff.

 

Well let's start with the size, I use 520x170. I will use Gimp cuz it's free and all can download it easy (link at the end)

Then you can choose a motive (I will go with some robot) place it so it looks good. (site link at the end)

Next stepp take a darkish color that your motive has and use it as a background color.

Now I will use a default brush called "Smoke" and I will play around with it in different layers and colors till I think it looks okay.

Okay now we are done with that, we will use another brushes for some styling. (link to a nice brush site at the send)

After that you add some filters. I don't add that many those who can their stuff can see what I did cuz here I did stuff that the untrained eye could easily miss.

Next I add the TEXT (I will use some nice fitting font, link at the end to a nice site).

Here is my constructive criticism

 

 

Color palette is absolutely terrible ,no offense but those colors don`t even work together let alone be in the same palette

White/Orangeish/Gray .

 

Text doesn`t fit the signature (if it is a signature) it looks like it has been just slapped there

Has no lightning which is bad and it doesn`t add any depth

and read up on the Artistic Rule Of Thirds which might help you,I`d love to continue but my eyes hurt at this point

 

TL;DR

 

Practice more

This is not a artwork it's just a guide I chose those colors cuz they stand out and it's easy to see.

Maybe read the title first bae ;)

I myself personally WOULD NOT try this because I see such a poor outcome from the tutorial?You get the point it`s all about looking good ;3
