First off Good Luck everyone! Second, Heres what I have cooked up....

Yup thats right, I made a Dexter sig. I was debating wether to make a Weeds sig, or a Dexter sig, (both on ShowTime) so I was working on both of them, and the best one turned out to be this Dexter sig.

I first did the usual gradient glossy background, and made a spotlight
then I added the "DEXTER" logo and added a Gradient to that (B&W) and put it on opacity 25% so it doesnt look fully Red, but a bit glossier.

Then I added a main render of Dexter with a hood on that was dark, and had the spotlight shining on his face.

I then added some "Soda Script text" and wrote "Dexter Morgan on top of the main render.

and so there wont be dead space I found 2 pics of Dexter that go well with the background, and blended those 2 together with what I had and WALLA!!!

PERFECTION ONCE AGAIN BY THE ANGELIC D!!!​

Good luck to the other team, they will probably need it...

There you have it! Another sig from me! Who would have known?

To do this, I basically used a mixture of new techniques I have been working on recently. It is not too far from what I have been doing in the past but there are a couple of new things. Firstly, I blurred instead of smudged in the beginning. The I added my light source and some clipping masks with some splatter brushes. Then I added some C4D's and quite a few gradient maps. A few clipping masks and photo filters later, I added a border and some text and called it another win. ​

Whelp, I'm here with my graphic. Drum roll please.

​

What we have here is Rambo, John J. The custom nametag shape was easy to make. I used... The eraser. I used a brush called "NinjaBrush" for the background and gave it a simple yellow and red gradient. Then I took the Rambo render, duplicated and smudged a bit. I then gave the smudged and regular layer a Light Color effect. Finally, after the sig was finished, I added a Bevel effect to make it look 3D.

I hope this doesn't make me a WWE Shareholder.

Ladies and Gentlemen, my graphic...

Oh how I love House. I'm usually stuck on the couch when theres a marathon on. But anyway, I started by choosing a render and doing some very specific smudging to it. For the background, I used a picture of an abstract design. I then put a grungy picture on top of that to give it some color. I then duplicated that stock, used a spatter filter on it, and put it on top of everything, setting it on soft light I believe. Finally, a few gradient maps, added the show's logo, and a border. Thats how you make a great sig

Good luck to the other team and dont forget to vote TASAGK.
