Default -Ultimatum's PS Art-

I've decided to just make my own thread showing mostly my sigs and what-not...

It's easier than posting in the "Post Your Photoshop work" thread.

Here's a few things I've made. (constructive criticism is acceptable )

I'd work on getting more of a feel for the character/sports renders that go into your pictures... Try for a fading to black/dark matter on one side effect... I think you'd do very well... Kind of like the way you did with the LeBron pic. That one did great.

Not much else to say. I'm not great at ps, but I can judge well. If I were to give you a rating, 8.75/10. The abstract backgrounds are to die for.

Anyway, [/long post]

Nice colors, but the composition could use work. This is mostly aimed at your focal point. There's no specific focus on this signature, this is to say that your blending is good, but overdone. You should try to bring out the focus on Master Chief by placing him more in the center, and blurring slightly places in the background away from him. Text could use work. It doesn't particularly adapt to this signature.


After an inspection of this one, I'd say it's better than the last. The colors, once again, are great. However, it seems really messy. It's almost as if you tried to get a shattered glass effect in the background. If that's so, then you should try to enhance it, and filter out some of that red and blue craziness you have clipped on there. Although I've just pointed out that it's messy, the focal point is still more defined than the last signature.


This one is very nice. I think if you hadn't let Tiger seem so transparent, it would be much improved. Also, the text saying "Tiger" could just be removed... as I think the symbol you have on the right fits perfectly.


Nice effects on the right side of this one. It seems as though it gets really dull on the left, however. Border needs to cover the very outside for it to be a border. The stylistic inline border is nice, however. My best advice for this one is don't make the brushing fade into the background without purpose. Brushes should at least try to add to the flow/depth/another quality of this sig.


For the border, refer to the same comment on the previous sig. I think placing the basketball player in front of those horizontal lines would add to the signature's depth. Some color variation would help as well.


Needs a proper border, and it needs to be a bit smaller. It looks like you have the right idea as for depth, but didn't quite accomplish it. Text isn't all that bad, either.


Not really sure what to say about this one. This one seems a tiny bit messy, as well. I think perhaps if you increased the width, and took another approach to the text that this signature would improve.


Needs a proper border. You should try varying the blurriness/sharpness between the brushing in the background to increase depth. Also try overlapping a small amount of the brushes over Manning.

Wow that was a long post....

Personally, I just think you need more emphasis on the characters them self. The designs and poses are great (except for Tiger), but on a few, the burned borders really don't fit. I've never taken any classes, and I don't have but about a year of experience in PS, but I don't encourage burning the border so the brightness shines on the center. Rather, try to keep the whole design full and balanced. Of course there are ways to create balance with the character on one side or the other, however symmetry can be helpful at times.

Keep with making them, I approve :]

That makes things seem like you've done a lot more work o_O

I swear I could've seem diffuse glow somewhere but at second glance it just looks dodged with precision

Si.

I like using the dodge/burn tool for finer details that most people don't notice...

Some of the BG's are "shattered-looking" because I went a little crazy on extra details.
