I deleted your last two posts.
That you made this thread is all fine, but the Avatar and Signature forum is here to let you showcase your works. And to let others comment and critique on your work, so that you can improve and adjust your style if it be needed.
Your black and white style is unique, but there is no need for you to make a thread so that people can request you to make signatures. We have the signature request thread for that. If you want to fill in signature requests, you can go
here. You can fill in the request, complementary to your style (in black & white) and then it's up to the person who requested a signature to be made, to use it or to thank you for the effort and leave it at that.
So if people like your style, they will come to you, by sending you a PM or leaving a comment in you thread. BUT if you want people to request you to make signatures, it is essential that you post your works in your thread, here in the ava/sig forum. Why? Because then others will get a better idea of your style and will know if it's to their liking, so they can send you a request or not.
Now I do have a comment on your signature making.. infact a few.
First of all your signatures consist of text and stock of characters, you could add in some effects, like you did in the "Music is Magic" signature. But you could extend that to more of the signature space, this way you will avoid your signature looking empty, thus avoiding the dreaded words "negative space".
Secondly, blending. Try to make your character "interact" with the background, this will make your signature more dynamic, give it depth and make it more interesting.
Third, your text usage. The "reflecting the text on the ground" effect is nice, but you're overusing it. I've seen it in all your signatures, you can perhaps explore some new effects you can apply to your text.
Last, your background, it doesn't have to consist of a black to darkgray gradient or a white to gray gradient. Black and white doesn't have to mean solid colours as backgrounds, you can apply effects in the background, play with clipping masks, blurring, etc. etc.
Hopefully these comments will help you understand the purpose of the signature and avatar Forum. And perhaps it will help you improve your style.
Edit:
P.s. Feel free to send me a PM with questions regarding the avatar and signature forum. Happy Posting!
