the first one is nice, because it blends nicely, a little more vivid colors and better quality would be nice.

[poisonjam9]

I had to down the quality a bit on both to fit it on another game, sorry. I dont have copys of it with good qual

[Skuhl]

maybe try and make a signature, might be easier for us to tell you what you need to work on

[poisonjam9]

Ar, i really tryed a sig before, and i can do it, for some reason, it looks scrammy because i dunno what to put on all the spare blank spaces, and cant get nothing,

Dunno how to do many effects or anything, and cant find any good guides anywhere

try using a smaller canvas than you might already be using. like maybe a 350 x115 or 350x100

[poisonjam9]

Thanks for that, im gonna try a sig, then read that guide and see if i can improve

Ok, ive added a sig so you can tell me what im doing wrong now :) If you still on, if not someone eles hopfully. But thats prob the longest ive spent on a picture, and its like the 2nd sig ive ever done, as i mostly do avatars.


Also, wheres a good place to find pictures?

[Skuhl]

alright so im glad to see that you have potential, mostly because you kept the colors close. and i like the little brushes behind him.

you can get renders at planetrenders.com or if you would like i can give you a pack of good ones. you might want to try adding some extra colors, but don't go crazy and make it like rainbow

[poisonjam9]

Ye can you send me the pack please, it will be a realll good help, and i will use that website, thanks.

Ive added another one with more colour. I used the guide for it but there were a few steps i didnt understand, hopfully when i understand them i can improve it.

Regards

eventually people are going to tell you to stop using text, and even thought it looks alright now, soon it wont work so well. so mgiht want to stop that before people get on to ya

[poisonjam9]

Oh ok thanks, whenever i make some now ill leave out the text :)

Thanks for telling me early
