Post by: Adonai on October 08, 2008, 04:56:34 AM: Aw...TB, this lookd really weird. I noticed the blader only after 30 seconds.
Title: GFXT-V Round1 - Turtle Boy vs StuntKing
Post by: UtterGarbage on October 08, 2008, 01:11:35 PM: agreed with the thirty seconds, the book looks like the main focus..
Title: GFXT-V Round1 - Turtle Boy vs StuntKing
Post by: Turtle Boy on October 08, 2008, 03:14:28 PM: theres no book thats a building in the background, Yea its hard to tell the theme really, and for the record thats all smudge with a regular brush, no custom weird stuff.

Post by: UtterGarbage on October 08, 2008, 03:44:53 PM: it looks cool dn get me wrong. but maybe if something brought out the skater more or made him bigger, adding a glow effect or popping him out of the pic similar to what gt-7 did would probally improve it imo but its good nevertheless.

Post by: Flat Face on October 08, 2008, 08:48:54 PM: im gona vote for SK too, TB your sig would have worked better if you didn't repeat the brush 4 times or atleast edited each part with opacity and some more effects i reckon
Title: GFXT-V Round1 - Turtle Boy vs StuntKing
Post by: Turtle Boy on October 08, 2008, 10:46:44 PM: Thanks guys, uhh repeat the brush?? nothing is repeated even once, There is no brush, thats just 2 layers, one black layer over the original and then I started smudging, all of that is smudged with a 2 pixel smudge tool, nothing else(well I boosted the contrast of the pic as well). 100% custom effect, It took awhile, but its just so fun. I like your sig alot SK, really nice colors, very virbant. I do have a question about this

Post by: Firefly on October 09, 2008, 06:36:50 AM: Turtle Boy's sig doesn't have a clear focal point and as a result the sig doesn't look balanced. SK's one looks better, but the effects are a bit too heavy in the middle of the sig.

My vote goes to SK.
Title: GFXT-V Round1 - Turtle Boy vs StuntKing
Post by: Adonai on October 10, 2008, 07:43:54 AM: Agreed to Firefly here. SK's effects in the middle were too overdosed. But still SK's one is very cool for me.

Post by: Lyserg on October 10, 2008, 07:49:52 AM: Good job both, but I prefer SK's one, so I vote for you Stuntking.
