This entry took 20 minutes of my life. I added lots of textures and used lots of effects.. I didn't really care about light source in this one, but I think it looks okay! I think this is my best signature so far as I'm getting better :) Gimme Vote! :3

[Tumeski]

Making this entry didn't actually took that long after I kinda got the idea or more like the idea got me. I was looking at the themes and "Celebrity Big Moment" hit me straight away with "We can't stop here. This is bat country." and I knew I needed to make this. Making the fog took some time and in general I tried to make it look slick, "high" and clean in a way of showing my gratitude towards the movie itself. Added the bats there of course to give you the right feeling of the euforia and high he's having in the movie that's why only one glass shows reflection.

Peace out and thanks for +rep,
Tumeski

Making this entry didn't actually take that long, i decided to go for something "sexy" and create a signature that Created depth, and flow. and I knew that this was it. Making the light, and the feint clouds (THERE ARE SOME! :O) took some time, and i failed several times (that caused a lot of anger :P) But in the end, i think it came out well! I feel that my signature contains flow, and depth, whilst not being over powering on the Effects.

Peace out and thanks for reading,
Hope you support me!

Summary sotw 82:

I spent a few hours on this sig, was having some problems finding inspiration, I went through many movie stocks to find a nice celebrity memorable moment, that would really capture people's attention. Unfortunately, I hate working with stocks and I was reminded of this after restarting about 10 different stocks to create my sig.

I eventually gave up on that idea and decided to just do an entry under the celeb category and use a render.
Once I had chosen a nice render to work with, I spent the remaining hours on building an eye catching BG. I used many layers to try to create some visual depth, light sources and an overall life-like atmosphere. I was focused on making an abstract sig so there was a lot of different shapes,fx and brushing techniques used to create this outcome.
I feel I did a great job of blending my render with the BG and Fx, but at the same time making sure it wasn't completely monotone.

Overall I'm pleased with this outcome and I hope others enjoy it as well. That's all for now and good luck to all!
