Final:


v4 (4/16/09)



v3 (4/16/09)



v2 (4/14/09):



v1



Pure defaults as usual, filters and blending options. Was going for a sort of black neon color scheme, not sure how effective I was at that attempt.

The sig looks a little too light and a little too dark in some places imo, but it looks good otherwise.

[Showtime]

I felt that was needed to point out a focus, but I may look into toning the contrast down a bit if anybody else feels the same. Thank you for your input.

Ironically someone using my former name was the first to post

You know.
I really like it.

Its got a nice effect across it and I CANNOT put my finger on what it reminds me of....

I think maybe bring the opacity of the text up just a little (5 or so) and it'll be Magic Pants

I don't like how the 2 pics on the right have green in them. Even out colors

[Showtime]

That was a cloud render of light purple and a yellow-green, I'll just flip that layer around. Should work. Anything else?

[Corporal Hicks]

I think it could stand out a little more, Add a little contrast to it to do that, But besides that i really like how this one goes, Nice work considering you haven't made a sig in ages.

[Showtime]

Light contrast? I think there is a pretty good value scale there, Hicks. Perhaps my darks could be darker but as Redemption said it's already got a good amount of contrast. I don't know if I know what you mean exactly by that... Thanks for the reply though man.

This looks damn nice, but the size is a bit weird. Try leaving out the pic on the very right, and cropping the bottom a bit. The font isn't that great, try something different with it. Other than that, no complaints from me.

[Showtime]

If I cut off the right pic, it's gonna take a hex a lotta cropping off the bottom to make it like a normal sig size. Plus I love big sigs lol, but I will try a v2 with your suggestion, will try some different text styles too. Thanks for the feed.

[Ryan]

The outer edges are to dark. The contrast you have works but you could afford to lighten the edges on this and you'd still keep that focus in the center of the image as long as you didn't over do it. My only other point to make on this one is the text. While it works it just looks like it's slightly lower in quality compared to the rest of the piece. Overall though this is a really cool piece, good job and it looks like you've come a long way with photoshop!

[Showtime]

Now that I have Blooma's reply I can start my V2, lol. Thanks to all for the feed.

[Showtime]

v2:



any better?

[.ęνo.]

Still the same weird size, lol. The text definitely looks higher quality now but it could still be better, and the colors are a bit better. Good job, I can't think of anything else to add.

[TheRisingShadow]

V2 looks nice, I really don't have any complaints.

[Showtime]

I like big sigs and I cannot lie.

Normally I do more with the text but I just don't have any ideas for this one. Wanted to keep it simple I guess.

Maybe I'll try without the widescreen border, but I'm a sucker for those.

[Ollie The Magic Bum]

Try a different font? I dunno. That's really the only thing that needs improvement. The entire thing looks very subdued and nice. Really captures the moment of the pics.

I'd replace the leftmost one though.

[Showtime]

I am disappointing myself with this text... Seems like an afterthought. I'll try something else.

[*ЯR.Manu]

In my opinion it looks a tad low quality, it's a bit too dark aswell.

[Showtime]

I don't think I could lighten it anymore and keep the ffect I was looking for, but what would you suggest on enhancing the quality? The pics themselves weren't low quality so maybe it was an effect I used.

Hmm, if you would give me the psd I could tell you what effect (s) are making this piece lq.

[Showtime]

Ok but a lot of it is merged, check your inbox.

[*ЯR.Manu]

Found the layer which makes it low quality, check your pm inbox.

[Showtime]

I am liking this one best. No text for now, I'll eventually figure it out though. Here it is:



Big thanks to Manu for the suggestions and tweaks.

i like ^that one. theres no text needed. it looks good, only thing is the lighting seems dim, i suggest sprinkling some lighting on it so it could stand out a bit more
