So, I kinda felt the itch to make a new signature yesterday and completely indulged myself. All I knew I wanted was a gold signature to match Coco's recently vacated avatar of Evan Bourne that I had my eye on. So, with a fire in my belly and no ideas in my head, I opened Photoshop.
Eventually, I came out with this...
Honestly, I reckon it is one of the best pieces of work I have did in a long time and really gave me the thirst to get stuck back into my graphic work.
With the image of Lupe Fiasco the only thing I had, everything was created using nothing more than what Photoshop gives you. That kid who said he only used what Photoshop came with inspired me. Needless to say, I am happy with my work.
I duplicated the render all over the canvas before adding some motion blurs and sharpening it. I then added a few gradient maps and new styles to the image before adding in the main render again. I wanted a flow to it because of the render and I think I accomplished that with the motion blurs. I then added some dark shading around the edges before adding in some light behind and in front of the main render. Finally, I added some more curves and a golden gradient map to finish it off.
What do you guys think?
