Here's the latest render...



Was fun to make...enjoy!  

Feedback welcome...  

How's this?  Just revised...



Sharpened the bubbles on the lower left and added a light overlay on the right...

now the light on the right steals the main focal point  
you need a softer blending from the light to the dark....
lower the opacity of your new light-layer to make it bright like the left side....

i picked a round soft brush 110px and brushed over the "new light layer" ,i lowered the opacity of this layer way down to 18%
2. new layer i brushed again with the same round soft brush (i brushed only with the outer circle of the brush, that means ,the center of my brush was outside of the sig so that only the outer ring of the brush hit the layer). layer opacity 13%
3.i applied the image and used the ---> noise-->reduce noise filter (not a very big effect but it kills littles impurities^^
4.applyed image again, filter-->sharpen-->sharpen.....opacity 59%
5. added a gradient map ,orange-lilac 7% opacity
6.applyed image again ,took a look at her bre..ää big gun and graped my sharpen tool and sharpend manual (strenght 14% ,klickt 3 or 4 times dunno...ctrl+z is always your friend^^)
7.done...

was in one min. done
     

i thought it is easier to show you what i think as to explain it only  

hope you're not angry!

greetings Herc

LOL...why would I be angry?  Silly, silly man...  

The only way to learn is by trial and error...doing something, getting feedback, re-working, etc...and as you can tell, this sig was a nice step up from the last...

As you well know, I soak the stuff up like a sponge and I'm finally at the plateau where I can finally see the top of the mountain...next one will be done with me sitting at the summit...  

Oh and I know where I messed up...rather funny story actually...for starters my round soft brush was a bit smaller then yours so the light was more direct...then when I messed with the opacity, at first I thought it was too dark so I moved it up a few notches...turns out I was probably right the first time being that at the time I corrected the sig I was wearing my prescription sunglasses...    

So uhm yea...heh...

And I must thank you my friend...since this journey began and now being on DA, the time & effort is paying off...getting a lot of favs from people...  

hehehe ok ok ok , Sponge Bob
and yah DA is very funny

Thanks for the compliment!

And of course PFGreenLabel can use it...just need whatever info you would want on it...

Remember though that since I'm not officially part of the Graphics Team (yet), you would have to host the sig on your own site such as Photobucket or ImageShack...

Or maybe one of the current team members such as Immolation or bil4short can finish it and host it from BK's site...

Either way is up to you...glad you like it!  

Yea I need to update my graphics software...currently using CS2...

As for the sig, PFGreenlLabel might want it or might even want something a little different...if the latter then I'll shoot Sheeta a PM...

Keep your eyes on the Sig gallery...will have more very soon...

Plus I also have these:

Well I do have these two:






Will also have another one probably within the next 12 hrs or so...
