This art is so cute so I tried to make it an avatar & sig (the sig is so simple, sorry T^T):



..! Your avatars are really cute, especially your text! You won't get much of anywhere just blurring pictures, though. Try practicing renders on smaller canvas like 350 x 150 and go from there. I can't work with plain old images myself, but that doesn't mean I can't try. All it takes it practice. And a bit of resource hunting and finding tutorials. Those too.Shiv wrote:

srsly i dont know how to make effect properly ;w;
if someone can teach me, i'd be grateful
i cant deal with big canvas and rendered image, so i cant make a wallpaper properly ;w;
!!! Okay, your first piece is probably your best one of the bunch. The lighting is good (for what little it's supposed to be, anyway), the flow is lovely, and your text doesn't stand out so much that it draws away from the focal, yet stands out on its own. It suffers from a lack of color and depth, though.Deadly wrote:

Thank you for the advice.SSShaymin wrote:

I made this yesterday, plan to get streaming some time soon. Feel free to tell me what you think, and how I can improve ^^
Thank you for your input!ReachingHavoc wrote:
Assuming this is an Osu! stream.
I think the background could be animated if you got the skill to do so. If there's one thing I've learned from Osu! streams is that every single one of them is the same in terms of an overlay. Kutsuu is pretty much the only one who has a moving one and to me that's eye candy. Other than that it's a very nice and smooth overlay.
Your text doesn't really fit the image well at the moment, due to the outer glow and the text colour clashing, which makes it less appealing, in my opinion. Try experimenting and see what looks good. (:Jonawaga wrote:

I hope I don't offend you by saying this aaaa
Hm, maybe making the black border a different, lighter colour? I don't know otherwise, as it looks good as it isShiv wrote:

Dude, that looks good at it is. The filter on the text is nice, and the blur on the edges is good (:

We call this over-GFXedCnC, I'm being sort of general with this and I might gloss over some thingsLet's start off with the good. The colors mesh pretty well for the most part and I like your placement of text. Your focals are also placed rather well. Probably the best of this bunch is the first piece since it has all of the things I've listed as good, plus the circle on Amatsukaze's face gives the piece a good focus on the focal.
Unfortunately, I have more problems with these pieces that I have more compliments about them. The lighting is messed up to hell and back where it's in places where it's not supposed to be. Last I checked, lights don't go into the folds of clothing or under armpits. I also mentioned earlier that one of the good things in these pieces were the colors? Yeah, it's also a weakness, but more so the coloring than the colors themselves, and combined with the textures that you've used, it makes some of them look like a mess. The worst offender of all of this is probably the last one, where it's just texture spam on top of texture spam with one color all over it (though you probably knew that already). It's just really hard to focus the focal and to be honest, it kind of hurts my eyes a little.
With that said, some advice:
- Limit your light sources to just one part of the canvas
- Rely less on coloring
- Try not to use as many textures spread across the canvas
650x150 is the size I tend to use, but I believe it can go slightly larger than that, but not by much.Shiv wrote:
uhh what is the right size for signature?
Badges increase the height of the userpage.Shiv wrote:
it's not GFX related. i'm just curious, how do i make my userpage as big as mr.monstrata's?![]()
that's because it resizes it, which can lower the image quality.LigerZero wrote:
