The Last Poster Wins! [v19]

Ah so they wouldn't be on your Photobucket then I take it. Almost every signature you've seen me use (even the current one I'm using) was made by someone else. I've made only a handful, but improved each time I'd say.

Here's an idea. I'll list the ones I've made here: All of these are listed from the first I ever created to the latest.

Spoiler:

It's not much, but yeah they improved each time I say. If only I could actually get better though haha. With time and more practice, but I need to learn better ways to improve upon things first.

Hey, those aren't bad at all! Certainly way better than my first batch.

I made this banner tutorial a few years ago in case you wanted to see how I make one type of banner that sometimes create (I've made similar variants of this one, but this is great for a first example). It's easier for me to show my process in a video, as a step-by-step guide would be a lot more work to put together. In that video, you may need to turn up the volume, as the microphone I had back then wasn't that great, and I have a soft and quiet voice.

Maybe I should put together a new tutorial that shows how to make a banner like what I have in my current signature. I should also try to challenge myself to not use any brushes or previously-prepared gradients.

Thanks lol. Yeah I had to download brushes at first. Not all really worked well, but I worked with what I had for years. As you can probably see in some of those I forgot to erase some parts of the brush effects off of the render itself. I always forgot the actually save the actual Photoshop file in case I made errors. I always made those in one go (though I do have Em's file still saved so I DID learn my lesson xD). Also to note: I did take lightning effect brush and shorten it down to make those Pikachu's spark effects....I couldn't get one to match right in color so I had to angle one up to avoid blending in with Pikachu's color

It's odd, while video processes are not "bad" some reason step-by-step guides are a bit easier to follow if it's just "do this" or "do that." If it involves cutting certain areas in a certain way or etc yeah videos are perfect. I'll check it out later though Neo, thanks!

Lol well it'd be interesting to see. I can't make one right now as it is without brushes. It'd look a bit plain if I did xD

Some very silly people are very anti-brush for some reason, which to me, is like complaining that someone used a hammer and nails to build a house. To me, brushes have always been tools, and relying on them alone doesn't even create something very good (hammer and nails don't do anything on their own, you need the wood, know-how, and be aware of good implementation practices to really make them work to their full potential).

But yeah, let me know if that video helps.
