Guild leader/friend wanted a vector sig... so this is my attempt at one.

Typography was, by far, the hardest thing to do and i'm still not happy with the outcome, but i think it looks pretty nice overall.


I don't like the border. Seems kind of chaotic.

The colors could be a little more vibrant.

I also thought my colors seemed a little dull. Will definitely try to put more effort into colors if i attempt another "bright" sig. The border is preference i think, i tend to like my faded borders. It is a little chaotic, but i wasn't sure what else to add since i don't think c4d's would've fit well.

The glow on your render makes it impossible for you to blend it into the rest of the tag. Needs some depth to it because it looks like just 2 to 3 layers with not much effects. Like joe said the colors for this kind of tag need to pop, they just aren't doing that here. And also borders with glows tend to make thing look low quality. Heck, almost anything with glows tend to make stuff look low quality unless done right and blended well.

Will keep this in mind, just felt like the glow would actually help to keep the render focal'd.

Yea i completely understand. Just remember that when making your tags you have to keep everything in mind. Flow, focal, lighting, blending, depth, typo, etc etc. If you do something that helps one but completely hinders another then it's probably not a good idea.

Is actually meant to spell out Destiny which is the name of his ulti in league LOL. I like to think of it as an easter egg via sig form AND YES! I was trying to work on colors a lot this time around by messing with more adjustment layers.

/e Also, i always seem to hit an "artist's block" with empty spaces in my tags, can't seem to find/create decent effects to cover it up.

This is my favorite work of yours yet. minus the destiny font...
I think you should work on this one some more, add a little more dynamic.
Maybe add something in place of the stripes, I don't know about those on this signature. (;
Keep it up, up!
