    N4S inspired me to make a Sig without brushing. I tried but it just didn't look right, but it does have very minimal brushing, which was a first for me. The only brushing is the numbers, and some soft grunge brushes for the BG.[​IMG]Drop the comments!It's the text work is simialr to the one in Yugo's tut [Which gave me the text inspiration] but I didn't use the same stock, or text effects. So in other words, I didn't just copy the tut step by step.Oh yeah, PSD Central with the cut!

    Ok, heres my honest opinion man.."This was inspired by this""This was inspired by ____'s tut""The cut is by PSDC"Where is the creativity in that man? Go out and do something that you want to do, find a style that you like, not something that is based off of this and that, but something you came up with. Be creative and fool around with it man and I guarantee youll like the results.

Be creative and fool around with it man and I guarantee youll like the results.</div>Ok, I see what you're saying, but I'm not a designer that has my name out there yet, I'm new to this stuff, I'm goig to need some inspirations sometimes. I'm not a guy like M2D who knows most aspects of PS. 1] Who cares if I was inpsired "To not use brushes" Does that really make a difference? I don't think so, come on? It's a lot more creative than what most designers use, download brushes, and them just slam them on. So what' so bad about wanting to try a Sig with minimal brushing?2] Tuts are there to use, text isn't exactly my strong point, so I got an idea from that. It's not like I followed it step by step, heck I didn't really even follow it at all, just maybe a little with the text. But the effects are different, and placement, and I didn't follow one BG step. So the tut didn't play a huge part in it.3] I had to use PSD C because there was no other way I could get that scan. I don't have "Connections" and somebody can hook me up with rare pic's/scans. I've wanted to use that pic ever since I saw it used at S3, and I jumped on it when I got the chance.So overall, I think I did more than you think. Sure, I need some imspirations, but it's not like I went out and ripped somebody's idea, and I my own thing on some of it. Thanks though, but I hope you read what I had to say.

    I know what your saying man, and the sig is done real well, but sometimes its like this is the 12th sig ive seen made from that one tutorial and its just not very original imo. Its a nice sig and im not trying to take something away from that, but feel free to try something you think would look good. [​IMG]

    I respect that, and thanks for the well thought out C+c.I think I used that idea to get me rolling though, to get me away from over brushing, it's a starting point for me, something I can build off of. It's what it's there for right? Anyway, I'll do my own thing now, you'll see [​IMG]
