[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]It's not just about black and white. Noir is a genre of film. As Jeffy already said it involves "contrast, drama, sex, cigarettes, hot women, and fast cars. Betrayals and crime". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_noir Here's an example of a Noir film: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AKDw2hwi5I][/quote]

[quote=Alexanpt]Is mine noir?? I think it is.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Well...it looks pale green and black instead of black and white for one. I'm not sure exactly what you did for the filter, but you should put a black layer over the top of the entire signature and set it to "color". As for the render: It doesn't look like something from a classic noir at all.

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]basically what Nameless said. Noir is a genre of film and or novels now. I gave multiple relevant (supposedly relevant) examples. -Sin City -The Spirit Are two films within the last ~5-10 years that are considered noir. Additionally a film like V For Vendetta has similar noir undertones. -Casablanca -The Maltese Falcon Are 2 films considered classic noir. If you look at Nameless' or my entry you see an old-timey feel. It's not simply Black and white. As the title suggests. TL;DR Gangsters, gals, guns, cigarettes, sex, betrayal, shadow, drama, contrast, mystery. ALL running themes in any Noir film/book. I mentioned putting a black and white filter over an image isn't going to make it noir. This isn't an easy task....[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I also feel the need to point out that the Anime "Noir" has nothing to do with Noir films...[/quote]
