The RETURN of Flapjack's Almost Mediocre Gallery

Since I haven't posted on my gallery for say...2 years, it's sort of locked and buried on page 14 (or page whatever). So I think it's time for a new one.

Here are some of the better sigs I've done:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Animated sig I made for a forum gimick at c0de3.k0h.org. The forum gimick never really happened though.
Image

Image

Ronin's sig I made for him a long time ago:
Image

Image

Image

Sig for Fazz with different font:
Image

A pop-out sig:
Image

Image

Image

Image

A sig for anyone. If you want it, just stick your name on it in a nice font and use it!
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Those are all that I could find. I'll update this gallery when I make some more sigs.

Please leave comments so I have ideas on what's good, what's bad, and what I should improve. Your favorite sig out of these (if any) would also be a nice comment.

Updated with Ronin's really old signature, and a new one.

I really want to make sigs for people other then me, so PLEASE request them.

not bad bud. But tip for you.Backgrounds...there not your strongpoint in a few of your sigs. They lack detail. The renders arnt to bad, the Kyp one though is ruined in my opinion, Due to one side of him being coloured cyan and the rest of him normal. Your current one is great, love the render and the colour balance added. but again background is not your strong point.

squall_leon@live.co.uk hit me up on msn i have a few brushes that really shine through on detail i could give you. or links to atleast. You have potential :) just in some cases not the right brushes.

And to also add, then simplistic designed ones you have are flawless in colour/render combo, i just dislike the black'ish void areas really. but again bud, you do have potential. i have to update my gallery with a few new designs ive done recently.

Thanks a bunch for the tips. I see what you mean with the backgrounds, and I'll work on them.

New signature. I tried to get the background better, but I might have messed up on the render.

What do you think?

Which one is the new one? The one that says 'new' on? You could post the img in your post aswell, it would make things easier without having to scroll up~

Thank you!

Looks great, how do you get those lines?

Make a new image 1px by 2px, and fill half of it with black.

Then go to Edit>Define Patern...
and name it something you'll remember.

In a sig, make a new layer, and go to Edit>Fill...
and use the following settings:

Image

Then set the layer mode to overlay or soft light, and the opacity to whatever looks good.


I also made a news sig for fazz:

I sort of tried to do stuff with the font on them, but I failed miserably.

New sig:

I'd like to think It's good, but it's probably horrible. C&C's?

new sig is pretty darn good :D cant say i like the colour scheme but thats personal. Font is ok, you did well with the font on the last one there.. someone sitting down ? that font is amazing..welldione.

Pick a font that goes with your style of sigs.. for instance if tis a grunge sig, pick a ncie grungey type font like Base_02. but other fonts do well on grunge also not just base.

In abstract you can normally find fonts like danuebe or something. That font is pretty good. its just you have to really pick nice fonts to compliemtn an already working piece of art.. if you just focus on the background for detail, render for added detail and colour, and then not on the font it kinda lets the sig down.. but your getting there :)
