My First Halo 3 sig

No, I did NOT use the Normal Map filter.

Yes, it is Halo 3 related.

Errrrm, it's a start, but it needs more unfortunately...

Nah, I considered it and even began adding more, but it took away from it's H3-ishness. My sigs are always and have always been different from almost every sig ever posted here. What you see is my style, not my lack of content.

Thanks anyway, though. I have this where I want it. I'm not knocking your suggestion.

What's goin' on on the top left?

JacksonCougAr · Post by **JacksonCougAr** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 8:55 pm

Yea, it's definitely a style. I really can't seem to like it though because its just too... bland I think... I don't really like the colours either but thats a personal choice there. I hate rounded corners too :p They fail in my opinion. I also don't really like how you have the inner shadow? around the outside. Does look a bit like clay though :p

Can I edit it to my likening and post it here by chance?

haha, I thought it said "tomg" up in the corner. you got me all excited

but, it has its own unique style, i really cannot see anything "wrong" in it.

Theres never anything 'wrong' with computer graphics... or any form of art per say, but I really can't seem to find an attachment to it :

i know, i was making a general statement about graphics, didnt mean to aim it at you at all.

Haha! I'm loving how much this thing is bugging you. You can do with it as you please. I have several other ideas and things I plan on doing with this. This is just the first of many (if I get the motivation to do them). The others don't look at all like this, although they did all come from the exact same source.

The top left was a big blank area. I made this sig directly from a Halo 3 picture, so I didn't create the top left area; I did, however, add "TCMC" in it to fill in the space.

Jackson, I have a version that doesn't have rounded edges. I really really didn't like it, so I rounded them off.

Also, sometimes I create things just to make people think beyond calm asthetics. When I create my pictures, I usually go for 1 of 3 things: To tell a story of sorts, to make people feel relaxed and happy, or to give conflicting feelings to people who view it. At least with conflicting feelings, you are looking at and contemplating my work

. Thanks!

It's yours if you want it. It does look a lot like TOMG...

It's interesting, to say the least.

Yeah, that's about how I feel about it too...

Oh, and in case anybody cares, here's the original:

This is what I did, I like it alright but the background needs a little work. The colours are wrong :p

I Dunno -_- Theres just something...missing :p

What do you think Chad?

I don't like the original or the update by Cougar, the original is just confusing and it hurts my eyes.

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 10:40 pm

Still the best sigs I've seen in awhile, from Cougar.

theycallmechad · Post by **theycallmechad** » Thu Sep 20, 2007 5:10 am

Cougar, they look great. I like the blue/blue one most of the two; however, I still just see a character render with a background (at least there's no grundge brushing or things of this nature). I'm just not into those kind of sigs. They all start to look the same to me after a while.

I don't like the image, but it has a lot of depth, which is hard to get. Plus it does have a touch of mystery to it, and that I like. I'll give it a (neat - -neat) = (neat) = Neat.
