Pretty simple. It's already been submitted, but how can I improve it?

I think the render is oversharpened. I like the C4D placements but more is needed to the effect you are trying to execute. put some white brushes around it and splatter brushes too. and I don't like the random shape at the bottom right.

3/5

The random shape is a rail from the original stock haha. Thanks for the advice.

Much better. For now on after you make a sig for STOW don't immediatly post it. Make another few and pick the best. Then just edit it and what not to make it better. :y:

with all due respect, the brushes where not necessary since all they did was mess up the flow and depth of the signature....

There are two main benefits to using a Clipping Mask rather than a destructive edit. The first is that you can recompose the layers within the Clipping Mask, which still have all their image data, even outside the visible area defined by the mask. That means that you can select the clipped layer you want to recompose and using the Move tool, drag the image around within the mask until you have it right. That's a massive time-saver over the destructive approach, and will make you more willing to experiment since it's so easy.

Secondly, you can reshape the base layer on the fly, and see the changes reflected in the Clipping Mask. For instance, you could use the shape editing tools to edit a shape layer while it was still forming the mask, getting instant visual feedback on the results

i can give you a tut on how to use them if requested

yes very good Smile but still there was no need to use brushes the depth/flow of your signature was already good but i guess you can always add a few brushes Winky Winky just remember to use clipping masks when your going to use brushes btw i hope i helped you
