Hi guys. I have been admiring the work of the graphics team here and you guys do some amazing work. I am by no means a graphics artist but I am a part time photographer and have Photoshop so I thought I would give the signature thing a shot. There are 4 designs I have come up with for myself and I am looking for some feedback on them. Which one do you like best and what cane be done to make them better? Any type of feedback would be appreciated as I am not sure which one I like better. Thanks!

#1


#2


#3


#4

I like #4 the best.  It's got a great feel to it.  I would punch up the "Creeping Death" lettering a bit and maybe make the skull with the BK a bit brighter.

Nice work!

One thing you should know is that standard BK signature size is 400x120 pixels. Nice job though.

1# the render need to be blended alittle.  The edges seems to stick out too much.
2# Its a great 2D sig.
3# I love this one.  You did a great job blending the foreground to the background over the render
4# Great image but the lettering is alittle difficult to read.

Besides that and the size, everything looks great.

your best is Nr.3
best blending and atmo.

-is your text supposed to be readable ?
 if....
 -yes ,then use a other font ,placec it near to the focal.
 -no ,then use a smaller font ,much smaller, again play with the focal.
   if you place the text far away of your focal you create an eyeflipping-syndrom^^

add some effects to give it more epicness
create more depth by using the dodge&burn tool and the blur tool (sharpen the focal, blur the edges
,but not too much blur^^)

your lighning needs work.
-take a look at the render, it's not  coming from the right.

add some flow to your sig, movement, something magic......give this dude a pop-out effect....

like this

the text in this one added the final touch to the sig. not supposed to be readable but you definitely
take a look at it .
it's looking like he's falling/leaning back into the stars/ bubbles , everything goes with the flow(movement is to the top right)....


here i added the dragon to this nice girls back to create some sick art.
and the text here is placed near the focal, otherwise it would destroy the sig.
