Siggy Help

So I took this pic:

and made this siggy:

But it looks off to me, I know I need to add a border but it needs something else right? Text, ect. Any ideas? This is my first try at a B&W sig so I'm at a loss. Any critique or help is appreciated. Thanks. (Also, yay for underlaying yaoi themes:amused:).

I think, "AKWARD." would be appropriate text. ;x

It's kind of a strange render to start off with. Your sig is ok, but pretty plain. The left side has a lot of negative space too, so maybe take off some pixels from the left side. Add the border you were talking about as well.

I don't know, the more I look at this, the more I think something comical. Like drawing dotted lines from Aizen's eye gaze over to Ichigo and saying something funny. It's just a strange render imo.

Lol I was thinking the exact thing for the text, "awkwardness ftl". I actually did make one with text that had Aizen saying "How you doing?" but I didn't like the font I used and I'm having trouble finding one that fits it just right.

As for the render, yeah I know its strange :amused: I'm in this weird mood where yaoi is inspiring me to make siggs/avas. I have a whole bunch of Gin/Aizen & Grimm/Ichi renders that I plan to make sigs out of.

Thanks for your advice, Estelle.

For the text I was actually thinking "So this (couples') is therapy..." because of the couch haha but awkward works too. Or perhaps "Why don't you sit a little closer?"

The sig though I'm not too sure what to do...

Yeah, Your brightness and contrast really needs work.. There has to be a very equal amount of Black and white in the signature, or it will look off.. Its one of the worst Renders to use in a Black and white.. That Render seems more of a Large art render.

Try bring in a few more effects.. Also learn to use Black and White Gradient maps for your transfer to black and white. You can also use a layer will with black and a layer change to create the black and white feel. Don't be afraid to use colours in the signature and make it black and white afterwards.. It helps with the colouring. :) Yes, Black and White needs a good balance of those two colours, or again it will look real off.

Yeah, I made this sig when I still had PSP. I've upgraded to photoshop since then so I know how to use gradient maps and the like now, but I still appreciate your critique. I will keep what you said in mind when I try on this sig again, thanks!

I'm glad you like it :). I guess this topic is kind of old but I would love to see the finished product if you're going to give it another go.

WOW! that is a cool picture and I like the "awkward" idea for the text....

not that I am an expert or anything like that, but what if you made the couch pop out?
