New Sig/tutorial READ

[vethor]

Ok, while I was making this sig, I thought I would add in some stuff to show about focal points and things like that.

A lot of signatures just have images and patterns thrown together in no logical order. Really, you need something that your eye is drawn to in order to pull the piece together. This goes for almost any form of art. All or most lines should lead to the focal point.

generally, focal points go in one of these places (notice it's divided into thirds):


Ok, so now I'm making my sig. The render i'm using i cut out of a guild wars wallpaper. Stealing? maybe lol.

Notice where I'm placing the render. I chose the focal point as the head of the knight so I'm putting it right over one of those intersections:



Now all I have left to do is create the rest of the sig (as of now it's not finished yet.. i dont like the left side.. it's late though so i'll do it later)



imo it's turning out pretty well. i tried to have everything drawing you to the focal point.

I hope this helps some of you out. If not, oh well. it is late and i'm tired.

The sig is good but I don't understand what you want to tell us The eye will always catch the render first, never sawn someone say "OH COOL BG, ah theres a render too"

I'd recommend bringing the hand and sword out, since those are the parts which can create the most depth, in addition to being a good focal point. I don't really see the head as being that great a focal point imo :$
