...I'm new to this.

So, I have Photoshop CS5...And I've actually had it on my system for quite some time. Now I decide that I'm bored and I've just started taking in an interest in making graphics and shit. So rate/hate/whatever man.

Randy Orton

Kobe Bryant...

So yeah, messing around with brushes yet again and I decide to do a sig for one of my favourite basketball players of all time. It turns out like this, which I think is pretty cool. A bit busy, but it's not crowded like the Randy Orton one I did earlier. No, Kobe himself is not a PSD, I was just lucky enough to find a good quality picture of him. Anyway...

J.C. Bailey

One of the best hybrid deathmatch workers of our time, who sadly passed away earlier this week. No idea for this, just found a decent picture of him. I did have a Drake Younger sig, but kinda fucked up with it. Anyway, I would've put writing on the actual signature itself but I couldn't find a decent enough font and I didn't wanna take time finding one because it was pretty late.

Orton one is stylin', haha. Me gusto mucho. I think the render should be a little more visible with maybe a texture someplace and a stroke and it'd be very good, IMO.

Kobe feels a bit crowded around, like you said, but I'll add that it feels very "forced" if you understand what I mean. It's the colors being very aggressive, I think.

JC Bailey one is real nice. My only new complaint is that his face was more visible. That's just me, though.

I wish you'd have stroked the images after they were finished, I love the look of that. However, the blends and brushwork are solid enough and I like the styles of photos and renders you used.

Main suggestion, to beat a dead horse--Use Stroke on your finished images, man. It's good stuff to help the graphic "pop".

Oh, you chose the Kobe fuckface cut. Well done, chap. (Y)

[Marsh]

Looks good, especially for a casual beginner. Perhaps you could make the cutoff around Orton's neck less obvious through a gradual fade (feather?)

Here's my most recent work. Personally, I hate the last three but meh. Oh and thanks for the response Marsh.
