Brilliant mate ima do one now and ill show ya the outcome :)

LOL mine is quite crap compared to yours and i also couldnt get the border to do what you where explaining with the stroke etc it just came up with big black lines on sig so i left it out....

I'll be sharing another one when I can find more time A tut of my current sig

Nice tutorial, you make it sound quick and easy. Unfortunately I don't have Photo shop or equivalent installed. Can you do another tutorial for those with AutoCAD MDT or Catia instead.

Only joking

Cant wait for other tut that current sig of yours is my favorite :D

Looks good on the render.. .But needs a little work on the background.. .

For the stroke, it will come up with black lines for the border


I haven't even try using those


I'm not sure if I can make it.. .I forgot what did I exactly do to it

Hey this is a great tutorial Av

It looks simple enough to try even for me

I will see if I can come up with something and post it here

Thank you Jason

No, thank you! Lookie

Looks good but the bigger render seems to get the attention.. .I mean, needs a little work on the focal.. .Notice the black color opposite the focal on my tut?

Keep it up guys.. .I'm really glad this one's helpful and easy for you.. .

ah yes I see what you mean. I think that may have to do with the contrast/darkness of the original render I used... pretty black overall. I could have lightened it up a bit an maybe desaturated it a little too.

Thanks for the feedback!

here's a revised version - tried to bring up the level on the focal and lessen the focus on the background render

nice work jason

Well i wasnt happy with my last on so i tryed again this what i came up with

That's better Jason

@ Dissolution, I like the way you did with the 'aura' It would stand out more if it 'glows'; just add a little black/dark brushes opposite the render

Well I used this tut and came up with a pretty good lookin sig. But instead of the white brushes around the focal. I tried another effect.
I couldn't get the brushing to look good :a012:

Heres the outcome :



I think it looks good so I am gonna use it as my sig

Can't wait for the new tut!
Nice job bud

nice Dissolution and PhoenixBomb

@PhoenixBomb - I also have trouble getting any brushing to look good... I am new at it so I just used different spatters and brushed... sometimes just spotting it and sometimes streaking it... then I used a layer mask to blend it in better... well tried to at least

I am also waiting for the new tutorial Av on how you made your current sig which I think is awesome

I kept trying and I got some new brushes and I think this looks a bit better :


The brushing is hard at the beginning but I suppose we will be able to brush like Av soon

Nice work PB looks really cool that just so happens to be one of my favorite renders youve used....
Im also waiting for next one :)

I'll do my very best to show you the tut.. .I just forgot what I exactly do to it.. .It's bit more complicated that this one.. .

Nice blending PB

This would be my try for this tut ;)
very well explained tut TheAvatar, GJ!

- Kvalli.

^^ Amazing.. .I'm liking what you did there

thx alot ;)
i like the outcome my self to ;)

Keep it up mate

I guess I can't make another tut the vegeta sig For some reasons

damn :(
anyway, im gonna make another outcome of this tut, wanted' to try it again, i will post it, when im done :)

I'm looking forward to see it

Nice clear well laid out tut mate and nice that you didnt use photoshop speak for those of us not so experienced in PS. I know theres alot of smudge/grunge tuts and they all basically have the same ishhh outcome but like I said ~ well laid out.
I remember first seeing superman GTRs and budmans smudge sigs and my mouth dropped ~ the effect will always be my fave and I love seeing peeps use it.

^^ Yeah, I'm really amazed smudge and grungy sigs And probably if I already know how to make one, I'll make another tut for that.. .

I also like the way GFX Artists do the Gradient Mapping, C4D, etc.

my first sig is on the bottom. i Think its ok but could be better. Although for the very first one, its ok.

Looks nice and not bad for a first try

Welcome to DarkSide Demonpig Introduce yourself here and get to know more members in the Minion's Playground

Very nice simple to follow tutorial, Nice one.....Used to love the smudge also back in the day

Thank you for the nice comment DOA :D I'm experimenting on it now though

Thankz for the tip ;)

Well i gave it a try for the first time ever opening photoshop i'm terrible at the brushes i gave it a try i just could never find the chaotic and render brushes you helped alot though. no way i could of got this with out your help.

Thanks Akill and Insanetx

@ Insanetx, google for tuts and exercise your photoshop skills You can get nice brushes from deviantart.com --- just search for brushes.

mayb a dum ? but did u use photoshop for this

Yes. I made the sig/tut when I started using Photoshop. I haven't made any tut since then.

Such a fabulous tut Av
thanx



Tried to make one myself.....
looks like I will have to work on using brushes.....What say???
the result:

Thanks CF :)
Brushes and some smudging would help.
Your outcome looks good. And good blending too.
I think it needs some more effects (c4ds, etc.), depth and lighting and it's one great tag

Thus far I have been extremely good at avoiding using brushes. So now I have to ask a seriously NOOB question ...

What the %$#@ is a "grunge" or "chaotic" brush?? And where do I find them? :confused:

You can find some site links here: http://213.155.27.24/forums/index.php?showtopic=66887
Posted some members. You can check this thread which I have summed up all for easy reference.

You can also make use of DeviantArt brushes but you must not distribute them unless you have permissions from the artist :)

Thanx for that Av -- you da man!

OK - here's my first attempt at this. I still need a LOT of help with brushing, but I think it's probably the best work I've turned out for quite some time.
I couldn't get the brush work to look right (even after spending almost 2 hours just on that one part) so I just lowered the opacity and put some gaussian blur (1px) on some of it and some motion blur on other parts.

Looks good mate Love to see people's outcomes on my tut
