That's right! I've re-opened Shigofumi's Graphic Corner since I've been fiddling with GIMP for a bit, and made a few more graphics. Nothing else to say, but I hope you enjoy them~

I dislike how the avatar came out, I'm not good with 100x100, just 150x150.

For some reason, when I put a border on it, I can see it fine on Window's Picture Viewer, but when I upload it, it doesn't show, anyone know why?

Most of it is, but not the pictures of course. I also fail at Photoshop, I use GIMP.

[KonataIzumi]

Wait..you think that's bad?

....
I feel like fail...haha...

[7h3101im4idw0lf]

Pretty good either way

[Hammy]

i dont see whats wrong with any of it

[Sutii-chan]

Youre right Hammy! I wish I could do things like dis

Latests one:

Any constructive criticism on this one?

[Sutii-chan]

ZOMG! Furude Rika! Its sooo cuutee I wannah' take her home! *?*

[7h3101im4idw0lf]

I like the style but maybe a bit too purple?

Aside from that, if you rendered the picture, I can't tell so points for you there

Yes, shading the over the picture itself isn't that good for a icon.


you got some skill!! XDD I like your graphics very much! ^__^

Thank you very much! Although I still have a few ways to go.

[Konata Suzumiya]

Everythings great but one suggestion, Fuko's hair could be a little greener and more starfish in the picture (Fuko said she demands it lol), other than that they all look very great keep up the good work

[kirant]

It looks excellent. The only _possible_ suggestions would be picking a colour other than Black for the colour of the text. Black doesn't stand out the best in green. Other than that, as I said earlier, it does look excellent.

[7h3101im4idw0lf]

wow all these gfx's are really nice, better than what ive made in the past... (never really got INTO gfx making, only some when i felt like it)

I have a tendancy to pick black for a font color for some reason, I'll try to fix that.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2qamo36.png

How's this? I messed up extracting Rika though.

[kirant]

The top right corner seems to use the same colour (almost). That might make it harder to see that side.

[Dlanor]

First page updated. I need to make different things besides banners.

[Konata_is_Mine]

It's very kaiwaii =)

[Dlanor]

I started trying again after losing the laptop, I think these came out somewhat decent, but don't know which ones looks better.

GIMP, I've tried using Photoshop, but that went wrong.

[7h3101im4idw0lf]

I like the one with the purple film (if that's wat u wanna call it)

Hmm I think I'll try PS again and make sumthing... New animes too so I'll have something to work on... (in mind: Nagisa... Or Yui... Hmm...)

[kirant]

Top set looks better. Granted, I am very bias towards red-headed characters (Baring Mikuru for some reason...).

Many thanks, I have problems figuring out which ones I'd like more, but I keep finding other ways to change the color, it kind of confuses me.

I need something to do, I'm out of ideas at the moment, any requests of some sort? I'll try my best not to kill them. x_x

[Matimo]

nice sig's :) . i really liked the last one :P (Btw what Anime is that char from?)

[7h3101im4idw0lf]

rozen maiden?

i know razors a fan... i think?

[Konata_is_Mine]

Yeah I thought he said he was... Not 100% sure though,

[Dlanor]

So I forgot about GIMP a while ago...

http://i30.tinypic.com/v8mzc8.jpg

How's this, I really lack on the background, I noticed..

[Lucky Flame]

Simple can be good, it looks clean, but then again what do I know?

It looks really great~ It has that nice touch to match Solty (<3), and simplicity is the key! It just depends on what you are able to put together in terms of brushes, textures and color styles~ And in this case, it looks really well-put together~

The only part of it I don't like is the overlap on part of Solty, but I think you're doing fantastic! *Claps* I can't wait to see more!~~~~ <33

What if I use a background? Would it change anything?

It might, it depends on your colors and style~

This one looks wonderful, but the outer black on... I wanna say that's "Black Rock Shooter". I'll just say that. Anyway, the outer black doesn't match very well, since then it looks a bit overdone~ The text looks nice, except the near-matching border~ I think... (emphasis on think)

gray + blue/green border would look nice or... blue/green and a light gray border. But I haven't tested it, so I wouldn't know~ >-< Just something so the text stands out a little, otherwise it looks like you just tried to add some gray in there and did it unsuccessfully. But the brushes are a great touch to the signature and the border is nice touch also!

Razor is progressing so much! <3

[Kona]

Im interested in the types of brushes you use, and what tutorials you use, lol.

The current brushes I've been using are Urban Designs (http://www.obsidiandawn.com/urban-designs-photoshop-custom-shapes), and Frost Brushes (http://www.obsidiandawn.com/frost-photoshop-gimp-brushes). But the whole site itself is just filled with so many unique brushes. And the backgrounds I use are normally not made from scratch, and I'm not using much of a tutorial, more like free-roaming it.

First page updates with two new signatures.

First page updated again, I have too much free time.

[Lucky Flame]

Ha I feel the same way. (Has 14 and 1/2 drawings done.)

These still all look great to me, but I know nothing about this type of stuff.

[Hikari-chan]

<3 Your new signatures are super-amazing! Ganbatte! You've been progressing so much~ I love the colors you choose! And you should make more icons, I think they're really lovely~ Keep doing your best, okay~? >w<

Keep up the good work!

I know, which is why they are at the bottom. D;

I made two more, although the ones I did a week ago, I just didn't like them at all. I like the recent ones better..

[KonataTheAwesome]

i have that pack of vector brushs your useing for your current one.
and all i have to say is that your current is not the best....

I can tell, I have a horrible knack for making things when I feel as thought they aren't completed. I just don't work with colors all that well, as well as where to put brushes.

if you would have made that gray vectors dark blue it would be perfect though

[Dlanor]

Updated once again, I tried different methods than my usual ones.

[Hikari-chan]

I really love your new signatures, actually! You're adding a lot of color to them, though I'd still have to suggest using different kinds of fonts to correspond with your signature flow~

For example...

http://i25.tinypic.com/sljqmo.jpg
^ I personally liked how you used the font nicely and cleanly on this one, because the colors were able to flow altogether, and the font was fitting, though it would have still been nice if you used a more creative font~
http://i29.tinypic.com/sc3xn9.jpg
Something like this? Your signatures are a lot different (and more awesome) than what I make, so my fonts don't fit with your style, it seems!~


http://i30.tinypic.com/2w1z77b.jpg
^ Actually, I think I liked this signature the most out of all of them, just because the colors were really great, despite being pretty much just 2 colors + black/white~ Because that's what made this signature stand out the most. And I actually liked your font in this one, but you should really keep trying to use new fonts!


http://i29.tinypic.com/2eogvvs.jpg
^ The only problem I had with this is your color-selection from outside the character, and your font~ I absolutely loved this one because it was so different from what you usually did, which is so great!! <3 But as you keep trying to attempt to creatively bring out more styles in your signatures, I'm pretty sure you'll do really wonderful~

And about your selection-outlines, I think you should use them more sparingly as you go on, since it's a lot better using them in more simplistic backgrounds, instead of ones like these. An example of what I mean is...

http://i26.tinypic.com/15zpctj.jpg
^ If you do some kind of simple theme such as this one~



http://i30.tinypic.com/2il07m0.jpg
^ This is nice and bright, I love it! Haha~ The only problem is the text, yet again~ I still love how you're using new styles and methods! <3 Ganbatte!!



http://i29.tinypic.com/2n1cowy.jpg
^ GIN-SAMA!! <3 Well, the only problem I really had with this was the strange background~ Considering it was grainy and along with some red lines, I kinda didn't like how that turned out~ If you really wanted to try red + purple, you could have done something with gradients, which would have done some other significant background! But I really love the colors of Gin-sama, how you changed the colors of her, but still made it look really cute, that's usually something someone can't do (Yes, me. @_@).


Make more signatures soon!! >w<

[Dlanor]

I give up for now. Until I learn some new techniques, I'm requesting a lock for this thread.

[Hikari-chan]

Locked by request~

U-U-Updated.
