Actually I gave some contrast or something with the original background..

Oh yeah, I know. Just that you need to make it look more appealing you know?

ma latest....affiliate image of a forum....

Nice affiliate image DBZ, the text stands out against the background so that people can read it good, nice work mate..

Thnx mate!Thought of adding lighting effects but the text would not be visible

Yeh, thats what youve gotta watch when you add effects to an image, sometimes they can make the text unreadable or slightly blurred..

I know abt this....really k...not gonna say the word

Thats not to bad DBZ, the render goes ok with the background and the shapes ok, not to sure about the text though, but its still a good try and its good that you broadened your mind to at least move away from the normal oblong boxed sig.
so, nice one mate...

Thanks mate But ma latest is gonna be....with the gerrard render I used bfore...

Naa....Torres 1 Not comfortable wid gimp,photoshop is better!

Ma 1st try with opacity n its SOTW #13 entry...

Hmm'z.. it's ok.. render should be enlarged (if possible without ruining it..).. very plain though ;o.. text needs some work too..

Not bad work there DBZ, keep it going mate and keep on experimenting with different ways to create your graphics work..

@ Darky: K i'll work on that

@ mike: Thanks mate!

nice job with the thing

Gee..Thanks But not much of experimenting with this one!

No one else wanna comment (giving any tips)??

Hmm'z.. blurred background has a good effect.. but you over-sharpened the render.. you also need to put more in it.. it's very plain.. stock you use for the background doesn't really fit the render that well.. but it's ok.. colours need just a bit of work.. use some Adjustment Layers.. for brightness/contrast.. colour balance.. etc.. it needs a light source.. and maybe some lighting effects.. text also needs some work ;o But it's ok

Gotta improve

Your latest work is still a good try though DBZ, keep at it mate, your artwork and effects are coming along nicely...

Thanks but I still have a long way to go
SOTW #14 entry:

This one's ok It's quite good actually, however, colours need some work, remove the flare on the car =\ It doesn't look good with it =\.. text is quite big but good effect with the motion blur Seems like you coloured over something at the top with a black brush O_o

Ya "the road to change" is along with stock!

Thats a nice Harry Potter sig DBZ, good work mate..

Thanks What bt the prev one mate?

The render is good, but i'm not to fond of the background picture, i think you could have done better with that...
but, its still good to experiment with different backgrounds and effects to see how they turn out.
