Meh? It's awesome. Really, it is.... It's probably one of your best, in my opinion. I love the colours and the lighting is really good too.
Here's a new one i made yesterday. It's pleasantly pinkish.guardian2angel1
I quite like it, but I'd say that's purply grey not pink, except for the faint parts of the background. :P

You seem to have, how should I say this....low standards?

It's alright for your first attempt, it's too big (obviously). You did some good blending on the render.

Not at all. I just think it's better to be nice about things. People have always been that way with me, even when I first started, so I feel I should treat people as they do me.

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="-kaz3-"] New one.

Looks a bit too sharp, and I don't really like the glow on the left side of Dante (seems out of place). Still, I'm just nit-picking. It's good, of course, like always.

Ah...unintentional, the outer glow :P

Pretty good again. Just try using smaller text, and making the render look as though it's a part of the background. By that I mean trying things like brushing over the render and making a background that's not just one colour.

What kind of brushing would you recommend to do so? and for the multicolored backround, you mean try to use more different colors that are used on the render itself?

I use the same brushes that I use when making the background. I either brush over the render or erase parts of the render to make it blend in. As for colours, yeah, using the same colours found on the render is usually a good thing to do.

Considerably. The background is less 'bold' now so it all flows together nicely.

Im pretty happy with this effort, I love the plasma text effect, and I think the border goes really well with it, nothing too special about it, but its nice.

Your thoughts?

The text is rather large, but I guess for this kind of sig it has to be. The effect that you've put over it is pretty nice, though I think it might look better if it covered the entire background. Also, I'm not a fan of thick borders, especially coloured ones. I think it draws too much attention away from the actual sig. Overall, it's not really my style, but for what you were going for, it's good.

Nice. It's very similar to your last one though. I recommend messing around with lighting effects for your next one. It can really make a big difference.

I get fonts from www.dafont.com. Once you have the file, you need to save it with all the others. It's been a while since I did it on Windows, but I think you put it under program files > common files > adobe > photoshop. I'm sure you'll find it. If you use Mac OS, put it under library > fonts.

Well, when I first started I used to do this: new layer, image > apply image, render > lighting effects. Mess around with that for a while and see what happens. Remember that it's good to have a light source. It'll help with the overall flow of the sig. It might even help just to start a new layer, get a large (100/200 pixels), soft white brush and brush where you think the light should come from. Obviously that'll look rubbish, but if you lower the opacity of the layer it'll be more subtle and can make a big difference. You can do the same with black for the dark areas. Just remember to lower the opacity. If you feel like it, you can build up multiple layers of white or black so that it's more gradual.
