A.B.A. Tutorial

http://i820.photobucket.com/albums/zz124/Shadow7thKing/My%20Art/ABAcopy.jpg


STEP 1
File -> New... -> 400*150.
Place the background (stock). Anything you feel that suits your render^^
I placed mine like this:.

STEP 2
Pick up and place your render. If it is to big you have to resize it. I pick and place A.B.A's render like this:.

STEP 3
Now you have to put on your signature some c4ds to give flow to your tag. Not effects, but c4ds.
Like this:.

STEP 4
Put on your c4ds another c4d on liner dodge mode(opacity:.100% fill:.100%), dublicate and put it on color dodge(opacity:.71% fill:.89%)

STEP 5
In this step you have to add a gradient map to gie color to your signature^^
Made a gradient map (layer -> new adjustment layer -> gradient map) and put it on lighten mode (opacity:.75% fill:.67%) and with the same colors make another one put click on the "reserve" box and put it on soft light (opacity:.23% fill:.32%)

STEP 6
Add effect c4ds under the gradient maps.

STEP 7
Layer -> New adjustment layer -> Brightness/Contrast.
Due to the effect we put we have to adjustment the Brightness/Contrast. Do not forget to put this layer under the gradient maps.

STEP 8
Make a new layer. Then go to Image -> Apply image. Duplicate this layer.
For the first one go to Filter -> Blur -> Blur More.

For the second go to Filter -> Sharpen -> Sharpen Edges
and Filter -> Sharpen -> Sharpen more
Erase all parts except the focal. This layer put t to normal (opacity:.79% fill:.93%)

Ok, here's my try. Now before you look, just know that I didn't even know what a C4D was before yesterday. So.... I was tryint to make it look like she fell from the sky and broke the ground when she landed on Earth.

NICE!! Good work:) Just ditch the text, does not look good there...

[FourXs]

Thank you! I spent a lot of time adding and removing elements. Question. What does everyone have against text? I see a lot of times people say they don't like text on tags. :)

[DazzlinDino]

The wrong text draws the eye away from the main image in the sig. While they are fine for using on gaming sites and such, what we look for here when doing CnC or competitions is the actual work put into a sig. Text usually takes away from the artwork.

[~RF Shadow7thKing]

It is as Dino said... He is right, text distract your eye from the focal and giving an ungly look! But the the you have currently on your signature, the candy one, is awesome. You have done pretty good wok on this text placement kiu:)

[Sandfuel]
