Lesson 3 - making a signature

[Theodotos I]

I'm having difficulty with the gradient. Could it have something to do with my layer picture being a clan tartan?

[Astaroth]

The image itself shouldn't be a problem. Did you add a layer mask and did you pull the gradient from one side of the image to the other one afterwards? Once you have done that, make sure to select "Apply Layer Mask". Finally, keep in mind to have the layer in question (e.g. the clan tartan) selected when performing any of these actions.

Sorry for taking so long, I had a lot to do. Anyways, here are my images:

1.

I forgot to do pretty much all the steps with the text and just used Gaussian blur. I was thinking of fixing it, but I liked the way it came out, so I did not.(let me know if you want me to change it)

2.

With this one I cut out the fiddle from the main image and put it on a black background. Then I made a new layer and made a oval of white and lowered the circle's opacity.

3.

With this one I used a text that already seem 3D, so I did not use Gaussian blur. I used animated confetti for the border. It did not come out all that well, so let me know if you want me to change it.

Nice!

[Theodotos I]

First:

[Lü Bu]

Looking good

[PubliusKhannus]

the kilt overlay would look really cool with a buckler on the other side.

Part B
OK I been messing a lot with this picture and finally something interesting came out. Enjoy my vampire pet, just fed it! LOL!

Used blood and grunge brushes a lot. The pattern behind the text is a brush, I just filled part of it with black. Finnaly I deformed the outline of the sig with a grunge brush and stroked it black.

[Lü Bu]

your sig is 550x260.It must be most 550x175

[PubliusKhannus]

Lose a bit of the blood spots, make the remaining spots darker and more intense, for a greater "dark" feeling. But that's my opinion and I have a relatively untrained eye for this game.

[Kátz]

My very pathetic attempt at part A :

[PubliusKhannus]

The text is a tad hard to read.

[Lü Bu]

It looks good Aster

[Tzar]

Part B

Part B:


I took a screen inside a TA:TW battle, cropped and tinted it green, then used the vine-leaf brush to add a border. Sorry, but grunge just didn't go with my theme.

Is part C optional or something? I've created the two signatures homework demands, so is the third one necessary to pass?

[Tzar]

No, part C is optional.

[Theodotos I]

No, part C is optional.

Thank heaven! :mops brow: I'm just not going to have time to get into something of that complexity this week.

[Nevada]

Ok, I'll be on holiday from 30th of May to 14th of June.

@Astaroth: Could you please post the lesson on Wednesday, so that I got the time to finish it?
Or Could you give me time until I returned (a week max. )
