Izu. 239 Posted October 18, 2014 Hey, I'm new to the forum, but not new to the RPG Maker scene! I had left a while back. Anyways, I recently decided to try my hand at making signatures and such, so I wanted all of your opinions on it. Any form of Critique is welcome, just want to try and get better at it! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crystalknight 28 Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) I love the high quality + the art. however to me, I think that if you choose a shortname like 'Izu', you have to make it easier to see. I actually had to search till I found your name (I'm also very tired, that may have been an extra reason why I didn't find "Izu" at first ) My humble suggestion: Make your name stand out a bit more, a bit easier to see .I otherwise like the high quality, good color blending,... First one seems a bit too big though but again: I'm no good with things like this, so my "advice" might be worthless.

Izu. 239 Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the feedback! I do agree on both points that it is a little big and that the name is a little hard to see (Adding in my name was kind of a last minute thing, really rushed). I also think I may have posted this in the wrong section, considering it's not really a "Resource". ^^; Edited October 19, 2014 by Izu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izu. 239 Posted October 19, 2014 Update! Here's my latest creation, same as the other one, any Critique is very much appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crystalknight 28 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) First thing I noticed was the name, so that's a big plus to me . + again, the high quality! Really, big improvements on the name. And for some reason, I need to keep watching it. (your latest creation) This probably isn't constructive feedback though :/, I just can't explain why. it feels like I understand her emotions and that she is calling out to me. Maybe it's because of the heavy emotion that I need to keep watching it. I guess you should wait a bit till someone else gives you some "critique" MAYBE, ad some kind of slogan to it, like a powerful sentence or something. For example: (the one I often use, from a game) ~Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality~ But really, that might ruin the awesome picture, maybe I'd need to see the effect before knowing you should add a sentence, or remove it xd. This was probably worthless feedback, sorry About posting this at the wrong section, I guess if you use sigs for a game you're making, or if you'd make sigs for other users about their game, that it would be a resource . So maybe this is not at the wrong place.(But I'm by no means a forum mod, they know much more about these things than I do) Edited October 19, 2014 by crystalknight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knighterius 502 Posted October 19, 2014 Woah!! I know you want critque but honestly they are really well done! It's good to see some high class work out there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izu. 239 Posted October 19, 2014 @crystalknight Thanks! Any form of feedback is welcome. ^^ Ah okay, so add a small sentence to it? I'll defiantly try that with my next one. Maybe I should ask them if it's in the right section, but then again I'm not really sure who I should ask... @Knighterius Thank you so much, that means a lot to hear that. =D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheeso 3 Posted October 19, 2014 I love the high quality + the art. however to me, I think that if you choose a shortname like 'Izu', you have to make it easier to see. I actually had to search till I found your name (I'm also very tired, that may have been an extra reason why I didn't find "Izu" at first ) My humble suggestion: Make your name stand out a bit more, a bit easier to see . I otherwise like the high quality, good color blending,... First one seems a bit too big though but again: I'm no good with things like this, so my "advice" might be worthless. I agree with the low visibility of the name. Did not notice it until you pointed it out. Also with the newest, the name inclusion seems a bit bland as it's just a normal black text. I suggest you mix what you did and get that really artsy portrayal of your name while still being able to make it stick out as well as you did with this one: Aside from that, the art is incredible and I'm so amazed at how one can even accomplish making anything like let alone making three. Looks fantastic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izu. 239 Posted October 19, 2014 Update: Newest signature! Hopefully this one is a little better with my name and such. =) @Cheeso Thanks! Ah yup, I'll try to add more flare to my text for when I make these, hopefully this newest one looks okay in that aspect! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crystalknight 28 Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Izu, are you really human? Cause I can't figure out how you do those awesome pieces of art O_O, wish I had those kind of skills >.> About the new one: Simply amazing and truly beautiful, like all of your works. (I got the feeling you take too few credit for your own awesome skills)About the name: I think you're getting better at it. About the sentence: Not bad at all, it's not too straight forward, and also not too abstract. About the flair: I don't know. It seems great, but I personally have my doubts about using the same colour for the text, as for the background. However, it blends in nicely and is very clear.Conclussion: to me it looks great, but hopefully you'll get some feedback by others about the colours of the text , as I like/dislike it at the same time xD, can't make up my mind. *EDIT* I like your previous work of art the most though, simply because of the picture of that girl screaming out/crying out/being in pain, and the 1000 other emotions she's emitting........

Knighterius 502 Posted October 19, 2014 Hehe, the first one will always be my favourite. Guys, you've gotta' keep this in mind that these are sigs so going all out isn't a must, I mean these would simply go in the signature things wouldn't they? So a part from her name being visible good definition in the image and a nice catchy slogan she doesn't really have much to work on. It's a brilliant talent. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just perfect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izu. 239 Posted October 19, 2014 @crystalknight Haha, maybe. x3 Yeah, I feel as though I really have a long ways to go, compared to others at least ^^;.Thank you for the feedback, I'm really trying to hone my skills at this. @Knighterius I like that one too, I had a lot of fun making it. The name though was little to overwhelmed by the layered smudge I did under it, making it seem to lose a good bit of resolution. ;p @Cheeso Thanks, I'm glad you like it! If you all would like, I could maybe take requests to try and better myself at making these. Just let me know what you would like to see and I'll try my best to make them!

Knighterius 502 Posted October 19, 2014 You'll accept requests??!?!?! ....Your art could be used for titlescreens couldn't it? Because I am in desperate need of someone with your skill. If you will accept requests I will gladly be the first to ask! ^~^...But that's only if you're willing to do titlescreens which to me is essentially the same thing, afterall: Picture, heading/sig and that's it, but if not then okie dokie! ^~^ hehe *ahem* *calms down* Sorry, it'd just be an honor to put your work in my game.

Izu. 239 Posted October 19, 2014 @Knighterius Oh okay, sure! First I'll need to know the dimensions (How big the image needs to be), and a few other things, like: Name of the game, Colors, etc. ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knighterius 502 Posted October 19, 2014 Cool! Thank you I am yet to find someone who can do this for me but here I am trying again! ^~^ Alright! The game is called Twin Souls and it's an indie horror game, I am going to guess that the feel of the picture is going to be a lot like the first image you uploaded. The dimension of the image is width: 544 and Height: 416. What I'd like in the image is the main character a young girl by the name of Bella (kindly made for me by Allusion) to be on her side her hair blowing in the direction she is facing with one hand reaching out into the distance and the other one holding onto a pendent with her head slightly tilted down with her eyes closed. This is what she looks like And as a reference I'd like the image to look something like this: Thanks for taking the time for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izu. 239 Posted October 20, 2014 Do you have a render that I could use for the image, or I am going to have to draw it? If so, I can't draw so well with a mouse, as my tablet isn't working at the moment. I suppose I could try and find a image online that looks close to her, but for the most part it won't look exactly like that. Sorry, sorry! Dx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knighterius 502 Posted October 20, 2014 Nah, I don't have a render. Aww, well that's okay then. I don't want to put you out or anything, so don't worry about thanks though, it was worth a shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izu. 239 Posted October 20, 2014 I'm terribly sorry! If I can get my tablet working soon, I'll defiantly start working on it. Hopefully that will be very soon. If there is something else that you would like me to make, I will certainly try. ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Knighterius 502 Posted October 20, 2014 Hehe don't be sorry! It's alright. I'm not in any rush though so if it does ever get fixed and you still need the practice just pm me...as for anything else, I'm not really sure, but I do want to give you some more practice because you wanna' get better. :/ But I got nothin'.

Izu. 239 Posted October 20, 2014 Oh well okay, if you can of think something do let me know, and I'll be more than happy to make it, if I can! ^^ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izu. 239 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Newest one, let me know what you all think I should change. Well, hopefully I finally got the text thing figured out. I also added a small border to it, making it seem more pronounced. Edited October 21, 2014 by Izu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ LadyMinerva 998 Posted October 21, 2014 Oh my, I love these colour blends! ^^ They are gorgeous Izu! I really love the electric(?) pulses the colours are giving... Something tells me you're into the electronic genre? Because whenever I see these types of banners, I'm thinking electronical, techno, or house music in the background. If it's not *shrugs shoulders* Oh well, but still, they really look like it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
