dont ever suggest downloaded c4d's or downloaded brushes. that just makes people think that its ok to use them and still call it their own art

i never said downloaded brushes or c4d's......i have my own ways to make c4ds and brushes are easy to modify....

Text, border, effects, light source, c4d.
try looking at tutorials if it doesnt help.

Needs more "Pizaz" it looks very bland

Maybe have the character fade into the background?

[NinjaNed]

Yeah looks too plain... Add some more stuff in the backround and blend the render in >_>

[dtN-DeF3nder]

Look some tut's.

and you really need to blend the render.

this is what i did for it

ctrl j on layer 1(the image itself as if u copyed it from this web site)
gaussian blur>>overlay>>ctl e(merge down)>> ctrl j(copy selected layer)>>distort>>polar coords(PtR)>> swirl(what ever looks good, not alot)>>polar coords agian i think same type>>pinch>>motion blur 180degrees(alot but not to much, so you can still see blue in the mid)>>blending change(whatever looks best i did like saturation i think)>>ctrl e>>ctrl j>>motion blur diagonal>>i did like saturation agian i think not sure>>than the text is just terrible(i suck with text so ask sumone else with it)

thank you everyone for your help

You could use a lesson in colors. And just about every other aspect of sig making.

That's the Blood mage from WC3 FZThr right? Maybe you should add flaming green orbs that wander surround him.

why bleu ask background render is red ?

[GunnerZeke]

First off, Jay. telling someone to edit downloaded brushes is basically Plagiarism... which is worse then using the brushes.

2nd, if your saying you can make C4ds.. then you should clarify it in your post or else the "newbie" might mistaken it and go download C4Ds...

last but not least, 1SHOTKO, you should learn something about colors O.o

blue = Cool/cold color, Red = Warm/hot Color those 2 usually dont match well with each other. which brings us to the point of Blending. Blending is really essential in making a sig. you can take the red, and maybe using color balance or photo filter to make it slightly purplish in color. or you could make the background a little warmer with the same technique.

and to everyone else, instead of just telling the people to read tuts... maybe you should like.. give the LINKS to the tutorials?

Tuts:

PS: Ashlyed, thats Kael' Thas from World of Warcraft : Kael'thas Sunstrider - WoWWiki, the Warcraft wiki

if its not Kael'Thas, then its just a blood elf mage O.o
