Um, how is mine just supping an artists work?

lol. By your logic you did the same thing. You got some artist's work of Master Chief and added your own thing to it. How is your case different then mine or any sig maker for that matter. Doesn't every sig maker use a render, maybe a stock and then go to town with it?

coz you literally cut out a picture corn, all the essential elements had already been put there by someone else. Look at dem jean's sigs, sure, the brushes he uses are someone elses, the renders and pictures are other people's but at least he took those elements and used them to make something completely unique. You cut out a picture dude. You didn't have to find the right render, or render the right stock. You didn't have to go find a background, you didn't have to think about how to put all that together, etc. lets think about this

What if I found a picture of the mona lisa, cropped it out until it was just the lady, added a few after effects, and put someone's name on it. Would that be a sig? Sure, technically...but did you actually make it?

You obviously don't understand my logic. My logic is that if you rendered out the lady in the mona lisa, then searched for a nice background, made those two elements fit together well, THEN added effects etc and a text then you have made something your own (albeit with others' help).

Signatures are really just collages. If you cut a picture out of a magazine, you can't say that's a collage, no matter how much you draw on it. I certainly wouldn't claim it was mine, but you do what you feel is best corn. Nevertheless, this...

Is unique, and someone put it together (maybe not with their own materials) but nevertheless, brought a host of different elements together to create something entirely their own. You only added extra crap to an existing picture. For me personally, that's nothing.

If after this explanation, you still fail to grasp the very basic idea of my logic, then please...forget I ever said anything lol.

As for me not finding the right render, I think the render I found fit perfectly. I actually did do some searching for what I wanted. The Isaac render had a circular vibe which is what I was aiming for.

As for backgrounds, people don't always just go on google and find some stock to put in the back, I actually created the background using a mixture of C4d, brushes, and lighting. Thats bit a more complex and harder then just slapping a 4 on the back like you did.

Me not thinking how to put it together? I loled. First off I added different points of lighting, the circular vibe (explained) and the C4D flow up the arm to the head. I didn't just slap a render on because it looked cool and added pretty effects like your trying to put on here. There was a purpose for that render and effects to be there.

Your Mona list reference is irrelevant because I obviously went through the trouble to add depth, perception, etc. Sure the render already had a nice circular flow to it due to the arm being in that shape but maybe thats why I picked it out. It fitted better for what I was going for. Its not me just cutting out the mona lisa and adding some neat random effect.

I feel my signature was unique considering I didn't just google up some random background and put it there, but I actually made my own background (in a way) out of C4D, lighting and effects and not to mention the previous elements I already listed. Everything beside the render, like I said is there for a purpose and not some "extra crap" that you proclaim it is.

I perfectly understand your logic, I just don't agree that I fit that bill your putting me under.

If your the one who is telling me that my signature isn't unique, I can easily rebound it by saying yours isn't either. Through my point of view, it just looks like you got a Master Chief render, slapped on a 4 for the background, added some bevel and emboss on the render, added a light source, did some halo text with a yellow glow and done.

Yeah those stripes were something I regret. I wanted to cover up some rust in the back and make it as no noticeable but whatever.

Nice signatures Laz.
