Sprite sigs are easy.

Image= 30mins

Note: no downloaded brushes/effect/whatever was used in the signature.. the only things I didn't create from scratch were the sprite and the font..

It's not the best, but this is my first sprite sig ever

nice, i like it
but IMO, a sub zero (mortal kombat guy) sprite render would've fit better

I agree, but good job nonetheless for your first.

Thanks for the comments, but I wasn't making this cuz I like sprite sigs.. I was doing it to prove a point.. this was made in 30 minutes.. w/o much imagination involved and without the revered "C4D effect packs" I might add.. sprite sigs are pretty simple..

Its not a race to see how much time you can get it done in. Heck i could get one done that fast. I prefer to spend my time testing things, trying different ways to get my effects.

Now. I dont like the sprite. The effect would be good but i would leave the legs on the guy. I dont like the text. Kinda looks low quality around it to me. Trust me. Just go nab a effect pack. Im pretty sure they got one for 15 creds there. It would spice the sig up.


Not bad for a first. :wink:

Sandman, I like your style. It is like a grundgish abstract. Its pretty kick ass if I do say so myself.

Thanks for the comments.. yeah I know it's a sucky sprite.. but I don't have a good source for them.. and this was more to prove a point than to experiment with the style (although I did learn a few things)

I think it looks better w/o the sprite anyways..

Edit @ Grunt Rebel: I try to use only my own stuff when I make signatures.. I don't go for using other people's C4D or brushes. Not trying to put anyone down.. using brushes and whatnot is okay, but I feel more accomplished if what I made is 100% mine

Custom made signatures and crap > *

I make all my sigs from scratch, and all my c4d's from scratch. Don't use stocks no more =p

Lawls, turn up your quality.
Get better sprites.

But it's not bad for a first, this was my first:

But this seems rather novice.

Sprite tags are hard to make, don't put down anybody, especailly if you can't top them.

Did I ever put anyone down?

Look at the topic name and look at my current.

Same here.

They are easy tho.. I think I did a decent job w/ the lack of a good sprite and a C4D pack in 30 mins.. I'm not trying to put them down, I'm just making a statement of truth.. sorry if you were offended, I just don't see what the hype is all about

Because my tag got me 3000 credits worth.
And you just make it seem like anybody could make them.
I mean, if SanderGFX and Wkkid and all those other people like it, then it means something to me, even though they like most of my tags anyways.

Just so you know(directed to everyone): Every artist has his or hers own opinion about other graphics.

Very true.. I think I'm being a bit immature, so I'll just drop it.

Any other comments on the actual signatures?

in fact, i like it more than your current
