Art New Signature for a New Name

[Kinetic]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1]If they ever do the name changes again, euphOria is what I would change it to (as I have on the other forums I've been visiting lately) and I just made this signature to dedicate it to that. I enjoy how the text looks in this one.

Amazing job on OBv7 by the way guys ;)[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[color=green]It looks pretty cool to me Kinetic. I?m fascinated by the technique you used to create the yellow background that dominates the banner. How?d you do that, and which program did you use? Overall I think that the banner is excellent. However, for some reason the lower left corner strikes me as a little too bright for my liking and the yellow ?euphOria? text is a little hard to read. A very nice job.

[size=1][color=#4169e1]Thanks for the comments :) For the background I used a 3D Studio Max render and manipulated it inside of photoshop with some airbrushing to make a wallpaper. Then I just centered the wallpaper in the signature zone and did some more manipulating lol.[/color][/size]

[color=#30415d]Heh, you've improved greatly over the last year or two, Kinetic. You've gone from character design, to abstract, and gotten much better at it. Forgive me for remanicing for a moment, but you have come a long way, and your abstract work is much better than a year ago, in my opinion. :) I suppose that I am doomed to just perfect this character design way, however. lol

In any case, I like this new piece. The color is great, mainly because it's orange and orange is my favorite color, but also because it stands out nicely, I think. The color of the border is good, as well, since it fits in with the rest of the banner, and I like how you made the text sort of integrate into the banner too. You did a nice job. ^_^

EDIT: Oh yes, if you would like your name changed, consult Charles, though that would probably be best once things start settling down.[/color]

[color=navy]I don't know if I've ever actually posted in one of your threads, Kinetic, but I must say that I absolutely love each and every one of your banners.

This one keeps the consistency of what I have seen of your banners- It's semi-abstract with vibrant, eye-catching colors and a tone that seems to just make one say "Yeah, I can tell that's a Kinetic banner". The yelow really works with this one.

My only gripe is the yellow "euphOria". It certainly deserves to be there, of course, but the "eu" is too bright, and difficult to read. I know that anyone with half a brain could make the connection between the white euphOria and the yellow ph0ria, but it's just a personal preference of mine to have that more visible.

Besides, I have to make constructive criticism, and that's all I can come up with when it comes to this banner.

[size=1][b]Kinetic you know that I have always loved your work. I love the orange color you used in the banner and I also love the name as well. Just out of curiosity does it have any meaning or anything. But anyways, I have onw little thing negatice but positive at the same time... Im not sure if you wanted it to be like this or not but at the beginning of the yellow euphOria it gets really blurry. Im asuming you meant to make it that way but I just thought that I would bring it up just in case it wasnt mean. But otherwise, great![/b][/size]

[font=Verdana][size=1][color=royalblue]Lol, great comments guys, thanks alot :) [/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=1][color=#4169e1]To Syk3: Thanks for the compliment. I remember my first few banners when I had learned the ways of the magic wand tool and I was tossing out filtered up banners with cut-out characters every few seconds :p [/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=1][color=#4169e1]To be honest, I've always enjoyed your eye for design. The compositions in the banners you make always come out very stylish and appealing. I was looking at your banner site and saw that Metal Gear Solid banner that you created so long ago and remembering how much I loved it when you made it and how much I still love it :p[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=1][color=#4169e1]To OtakuSennen, thanks again for the compliments :p I'm always glad to hear that someone enjoys my work, which is basically the reason that I, as others, post my art, if not for honest critique or advice. The blurred out "eu" in euphOria is a personal preference of mine :p I was greatly contemplating taking the dodge tool to the background and making the "phOria" fuzzier. Just my taste lol.

[font=Verdana][size=1][color=#4169e1]Thanks again guys :)[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Verdana][size=1][color=#4169e1][b]E D I T: And to Hataki Vash, euphoria is a moment of delight (related to ecstasy) but I only chose it because it sounded cool :p It was either going to be euphOria, rapture (which is another word for euphoria), or Avidity.[/b][/color][/size][/font]
