Just wondering, do any of you guys do any of your own work? i mean i see a few people doing original work but for the most part, all i see is a bunch of sigs that are copied, have some effect thrown on them, the person user name put in some nice looking font with effects. thats it. just someone elses artwork copied. Just wondering if there are any artist here? |

I haven't seen your work. If you do not like the work you see why don't you tell us some suggestions for improvement. |

Yes. Then they are free(mostly) to use as many times as you want.

i use mostly all photoshop. it can do so much more than any other program. but i also like paintshop pro. it does some nice things. i also you a little, very little corel draw. I use adobe illustrater to do a lot of the lines and stuff. i just image ready some but for animations i really like animation shop that comes with paintshop pro. my current sig? well you got me on that. i got the idea from playing hitman and yes, i guess you could say the guys face is a stock image. |

Thanks for answering. Welll now to make my point: There are so many tutorials on the interent who can claim work they have done is solely theirs? I mean completely inovationary designs? Very few can. Most people laern from a source, adopting that persons style. Work people do from tutorials are only varied and changed slightly, further inforcing my point. Pushing the graphical sterotypes and boundries is not easy. I can't believe I typed so much! XD If you can offer something different by all means post it. |

I feel that you don't know the "special effects" that most graphics designers use. Special Effects are not caused by filters, layer styles or anything of the kind. It comes from either brushing or rendering. It takes a lot of work to make a decent brush set. Judging from your graphics it looks like it's been tut'd and therefore does that make it your own work? |

slack: true but people have to learn. i have seen styles i like and adopted some, added my own in with it and moved on from there. but i like the fact that i can create something from scratch. something from a blank page that is all my own. what would you have if everyone here had to make a sig from scratch? no stock images? Amberon: where is your original work? and no it isnt all tutorials. find a tutorial for the game machine pic i made. there isnt one. |
