    Something simple but I like a clean desktop, only a few more days until I get my MacBook Pro though so I'm psyched.

    It wasn't really for the forum per say. It was more so people could see it. The canvas size I put it at before I even began making the sig was really small because I didn't remember what some good sig size settings were so in reality the actual size is smaller than this. I didn't think it would turn out in a way that I liked and would end up trashing it anyway but in the end I liked it enough to keep so I had to make it bigger so people could see the little things I did to it in order for them to give CnC.

    Her hair is kind of a good motion focus on the left side and I did add some motion blur layers underneath the current layers but got so wrapped up in the smudging of it that I guess it got lost in there somewhere haha. Also the light I was hoping would be coming from the bottom where a lot of her face and hair is illuminated but I'll fix those couple of things, thanks!

    The stock is the same size as it has always been and there were never and "flaws" with the image itself. The only issue I had was really a non-issue in that I had to resize the entire sig for the sake of others on the forum seeing the small details because I mistaked the canvas size for something smaller than what I should have. But thank you for your comments on the text, I tried to make it blend in well.

    Hehe yes the quality looks really bad on here since I had to resize it for the purposes of the forum so it blurs out the image a bit (it was smaller before and plus I didn't remember what the best sig size proportions were). I'll try out the things you suggested and see what I end up with! Thank you, your advice was quite helpful <3

    I haven't made anything semi-creative in photoshop for months so I decided to give it a go. I was never fabulous to begin with but I get the gist of techniques, etc. So pros, cons, ways to continue with this sig since I don't know what to do next. Thanks. (They were smaller so I had to do some resizing for the sake of the forum that's why details might seem a bit off, trust me it looks better in PS.)

    I've known about this for a while and I think it's kind of true in terms of some of the things that I've seen. I think that if the animation isn't done right, it will look creepy and in general I just don't like robots with human characteristics. (If you've seen the movie iRobot you know what I'm talking about.) For the game Heavy Rain they actually had a screen test demo with one of the characters that eventually ended up being named "Lauren Winter" and apparently people reacted negatively to the animation and they ended up changing the look by the time the end product was released, making it look less glossy than before to create a more accepted result. I think with the direction a lot of games are going now with motion capture technology they'll improve with time, as with anything. I mean, I want to know it's a game, not some live action movie that I'm controlling. But like the guy said, it is all in the eyes really.

    I honestly find nothing appealing about this album. Her attempt to bring in some 80's "flair" just left me annoyed because her songs had no substance to them whatsoever. The Fame Monster was better because it actually had some songs that weren't too bad. But of course she's going to be number 1 on the charts so really it makes no difference whether we like it or not since she's got her "little monsters"...
