Firstly, how is the part where you suggest downloading high quality renders constructive? Being said that render is blurry and quality sucks donkeys c*ck, i find it obvious that you do not download any more of low quality renders/stocks. Why waste time to type something simple in more complicated way? It is not needed.

Secondly, people are not here to spoon-feed everyone that jumps in. You can learn typography by browsing web for tutorials. Why would anyone tell you what fits your piece? You are the producer, you decide. Whenever you ask for opinions or criticism, people will come and tell you how they see something and what is turning them off. Not to tell you how you should work but which parts you could and should improve. Learning is up to you.

Learn composition. Search for tutorials about blending, colors, depth, rule-of-3rds. They are all available for you if you just took 2 seconds to look for them. Hobo's thread is up and there are many useful tutorials, all organized for easy finding. Don't be lazy, you got to work for what you want.

I hope that brings some sense to you. Don't expect others to do the work for you, work hard yourself and better results will come in time.



My point wasn't to say hey guys, please spoon feed me. This is a new progress thread, I am a new artist, two people came on my thread and hated on my shit. I have a right to get a little annoyed by it seeing as I made this thread to improve and I don't need people thoughtlessly taking a glance at my art just to post some troll ass stuff on it.

Seeing as in one month I've done over 50 works I'd say that I'm pretty active and not in the least bit lazy. Also, take a look at my first work. Look at my most recent, I've improved a lot.
Not to say I don't have a far way to go, but at this point to post negativity to someone who has just recently opened photoshop for the first time just isn't productive.

You tell me to look at your work as referring to me not looking at it before posting here. I wouldn't bother to post if i wouldn't have a clue. Tanner said what needs improving. Now, what you can do, is to search for guides about your weak spots and get rid of them.
If you take any comment, that isn't pages long and is not to tell you what you should do with your work, offensive then you're going to have a bad time and that doesn't look so motivated to me.
Negative feedback is most constructive feedback - it makes you see your flaws and want to polish them out.

I don't see anyone particular hating in this thread.

Not quantity is important but quality. Start working on something and finish it. If you put work in it, then that one piece is better than 50 rushed signatures. Right now, i rather think you're doing this just for some forum gold. By that, i don't think you have not improved but you aren't as patient as you should be. There is no time limit on what you do, try different things on your own and by tutorials.

Basic run down on a couple of things you're doing wrong in 99% of these sigs:


Colours are way too saturated.
Stay the fuck away from animation. It never looks good.
Stay away from the requests forum, people there have no idea what they're talking about and what (artistically) looks good.
Stay away from popouts (borderless).
Use better stocks that are sharper, have better composition.


Read these.

It's just a placeholder, a guy wants me to do a sig with it and it's the only decent Edward stark one. Not a lot of action I know. Regardless of te render... What about the background

welp, background doesnt fit the render type at all

colors seem pretty dull and uninteresting. My eye doesnt rest anywhere seeing as there isnt anything sharp or a focal point.

There are many ways to create a focal point, here are a few:
1. Highest contrast point ( lightest light next to the darkest dark )
2. Warm colors, reds/oranges tend to jump forward for the viewer
3. Sharpest area compared to a blurred less interesting area



your flow seems to criss cross then you have a straight vertical render :S

your light source is very weak.... on a scale of 1-10 in values ( with 1 being the brightest ) its prob only a 4 or 5.... the lightsource should be much brighter with the type of contrast you currently have.
