Well I'm glad to inform you that Addictive Design will be moving to an actual domain and host. I made a mistake on the payment with domain, so I am settling that out right now, and I would like to thank Griff over at gs-network.co.uk for the hosting. The site it up right now, but I am not going to release it yet until I get this domain issue settled.

Expect great changes, and I hope when I get site up that you'll love it.

PS- Happy late April fools.

Seduction

2008-03-22T19:03:00.000-07:00

Worked on a new style like a vector type, very simple but I spent alot of time placing the brush strokes, erasing, making it look good so it did take some time. I tried to make it look like she was caught up or tangled in the vine loop, also worked with a new style of text with the box.

Abstract PSD Pack

2008-03-22T16:17:00.000-07:00

The Admins over at HolyStudios asked me to make a PSD pack for the site. I worked on Fallen Angel first and really liked the whole abstract style, I decided to make the c4d pack on 3 abstract style sigs. All PSD files are labeled on how I did it. I do have my name in all these sigs and is well hidden you wont find it. So dont try and steal my work as your own. I WILL find out.

Fallen Angel

2008-03-22T13:36:00.000-07:00

I was trying a different style today, I started out with a Samus render but decided to take it out and make it a C4D only signature. I really like this one.

Halo 3

2008-03-20T12:08:00.001-07:00

Gradient maps, photo filters, effect c4d's, c4ds, ripple effect, blurs, sharpen, selective color. Alot went into this, I made this for SOTW 4 on Holy Studios. Tutorial will be coming soon.

Darkness of Infinity

2008-03-15T12:39:00.000-07:00

Smudged some, tons of gradient maps, a couple photo filters, C4D's and i took a stock of a nebula and put it in there as well. This was a request from Infinity on the forum but I really liked my outcome I made for him so i decided to post it here.

Captain America

2008-03-14T17:53:00.000-07:00

Made them both for a SOTW entry of cartoon heroes (Not sure which one to use yet). SOTW is Signature Of The Week On a forum i participate in. Ill have a link up later on for them but other then that here it is. Photo Filters, Gradient maps, Brightness/Contrast, smudging, and c4d work all went into this. I think I snapped my curse of not doing well with sigs.

Old Wire

2008-03-08T22:04:00.000-08:00

23 layers. Gradient maps used, alot of clipping masks over text, splatter brushes, and shapes.

iPhone Remake

2008-02-13T19:25:00.000-08:00

Oh man im finally done! took 4 days to finish on and off, about 100 layers and all of it is made from scratch except the metal outer case, it was too hard to recreate so i gave up. Hope you like it.

Hidden behind darkness

2007-12-13T19:07:00.000-08:00

Hidden behind darkness

This is a signature i made for a SOTW on a forum I am a member at, this signature got me a 1st place in a SOTW (Signature of the week) They loved the c4d effects the splatter brush with the clipping masks and loved the flow of how it looked like a girl coming out or hiding behind darkness...hence the name, my favorite part was how the C4D presented a perfect balance of color to the girls face.

Cloaked

2007-12-13T19:00:00.000-08:00

Cloaked

Cloaked is a signature I focused on creating a dark tone but keeping it bright as to create a good focal and great appearance. Here i added ALOT of clipping masks on top of a splatter brush, I also added some vector brushes along the left side. I wanted to get some good detailed clipping masks around the hood which you can see and some smoky type look by his face.

Lineage

2007-12-13T12:52:00.000-08:00

Lineage

I made this signature more focusing on C4D effects and clipping masks, also adding more designer text. Also along with that i used flow with a C4D, C4D had many many effects, photo filters, and different blending modes.

Feel the music

Feel the music
