LucasFTW - Photoshop CS4 - Rate - Updated (new look)

So yeah i just got Photoshop CS4 and i will be uploading some banners here... Tell me what you think, and if i should make a shop or not

I can make them smaller by request too.

If i do end up making a shop with this, i would love to have a partner or 2, so the other joint shop has some competition.

Note: This was made without a tut, i'm just figured it out by myself









Some (badly done) smudges... I'll get some better ones later...







Some 'abused' brushes for backgrounds.







Some all C4Ds...


So hot or not? Please rate from 1 - 10

Thanks mate, and i'll check that site. I thinking about editing the text so that it doesn't look like plain text anyone can do, something mainly CS4 can do. Well anyways, thanks.

EDIT: I went to your site, but i decided youtube (for tuts for the writing ONLY) and deviantart is all i need.

Lol i've been to 1001freefonts.com... I dont actually know how to put the font on Photoshop... And plus i dont steal brushes... If it was stealing it wouldn't be easy to download and they wouldn't say... "I hope you guys use them for some awesome pictures" etc etc etc...

the text is way too big
try to make it smaller, like mine
I use 3 pt font usually

I kinda like big text that stand out, usually to take up some space and so you can see it easily. I'm sure sometimes i will have small text, but half of them will be big and easy to see.

Edit: What do you think of this?



Hot heh?

Its a little too big for a banner...

Estellise is way more attractive
Large breasts aren't a big issue for me

Lol... I didn't care about the large breasts either, i just found that pic and used it...
And i can make it smaller... This i believe is sig size...



Or even smaller...



Edit: Although, its better if i just make them smaller, because it gets kinda blurry when i make it smaller through Power Point.

Your second sizing seems to be close to the appropriate size

oh yes
and signatures, in case your wondering

are less than 500 x 200

For banners I might use 400 x 200 or 450 x 200

Oh and can you tell me what size it is for the image in your name thingy... Icon thingy... I cant remember what its called o_O

EDIT: Yeah the picture is pretty blurry, oh well.

My avatars are 150 x 150
my signatures are 150 x 400

Oh and stay away from the fuzzy tool
it cuts out stocks badly
Use the pen tool instead.

How did you know the name of my character?

Guess... No not really....

You said after i posted the picture of that girl...
"Estellise is way more attractive"

most of the time, if you get a request, you can find the render here without doing extra work.

You know what... I always keep having to go to your thread to find that link in your rules because i love its pictures... What a coincidence you just tell me, now instead im just going to put it as Favorites.

So yeah, i use it all the time.

Yes
although, on some occasions, I can't find the render I want, and I have to do all the editing myself.

I'm far too lazy for that -.-

Well anyways thanks for all the help and info, if i do end up making a shop (depends if theirs too many or if i'm too lazy) you'll be in the credits

Edit: I mean in too many if i'm getting a partner (unlikely because i suck at this so far) but if i don't get one then i'll edit one of my failed shops...

no problem

oh yes
try reading a book about photoshop, most likely you can get one from your local library.

I did that and I picked up a few interesting techniques

Thanks, but i doubt my local library will let me in again... Dont worry it's a long story

Well cya.

You should use more effects on photoshop, go to fliters, and click on the effect its to plain with jusr brushs. And your magic wand tool for most images keep the thresh hold at 75.

Ahh okay, i'll try one out with effects... But i'm not editing the others...

Let's see what this looks like...





Not the best... But what do you think... It's my first time using glow o_O

Y'know, these are really good. I REALLY suck at using photoshop. I just don't know how to use it...

Its easy just learn the basics


nice glow lucas, ive nevr used it

Thanks, and Randomer i agree with Deadlugia, it is quite easy. I did the first banner immediantly after i downloaded some brushes, without doing any banners before hand.
