Aix Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 First of all, you still have the watermark from Stockphoto or whatever. Secondly, you have a big black box for your text, which is bad. Here's a link to a bunch of good fractals to use so you don't have to use stockphoto: [url="http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=fractal+pack"]http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=fractal+pack[/url] Anyway, you should probably try following some sig tutorials. I don't know what program you use, so I'm going to assume you will use Gimp because it's free. Here's some Gimp tutorials on this kind of stuff that I found.

Kakashi Hatake Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Looks like you used some kind of online generator to create this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Too fancy of a text font isn't exactly good in most situations, I believe The black box around it is lulzy, and it seems you made this on Paint or something. The bg is a bit too plain, or rather, too black And there's no real lighting source. And yeah, render has watermark xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpectralMaliceX Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Bare in mind this was my first attempt, and I was using paint.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 There's your problem switch to GIMP it's much better and will give you a wider variety of effects and more plugins. Or you could attempt to get Photoshop, if your thinking of doing more of this then using Paint.NET isn't the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 [quote name='SpectralMaliceX' timestamp='1357072707' post='6108338'] I was using paint.net [/quote] [u]Download Gimp[/u], and try your best to follow those links I gave you [u]after you watch basic Gimp tutorials.[/u] Paint.NET is definitely not the way to go for these things, you need actual software. [quote name='SpectralMaliceX' timestamp='1357072707' post='6108338'] Bare in mind this was my first attempt [/quote] Degrading yourself like that won't help you get better. Accept criticism no matter what, unless the critic has no clue wut their talking about. If we were flaming, that'd be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
