Some Of My Sigs

[Waka]

Yeah, just a few sigs that I've done lately. I've been doing this for around two or three months now, and I think I'm doing pretty well.

 

EDIT: Umm, I kind of messed up and I didn't mean to put the attached image there.

Great. They are all very good. Would like to see more

PS. If you want to make attached images appear inline, when you're creating or editing the post in the Advanced mode, click "Manage Attachments", tick the image and then click "Insert Inline".

Very good!!!! you're definitely doing great for 3 months, as a matter of fact the ONLY thing you should really work on is blending your stock into the bg, the rest is dead on as far as I'm concerned.

I really like but just one suggestion, could you try different borders? Your signatures are like perfect but try to change the style a bit but keep up the good work ^_^

I for one like your signatures a lot, they have a clean cut to them. Maybe try adding more colors to your signature, some seem like they have only one color sheme going for them.

But otherwise, I'd say you have a good thing going so far. I can see you going somewhere with these, keep up the good work I can't wait to see more from you.

Very nice signatures.
I love the colors, the characters...everything XD
keep it up :]

I've made these two recently. I decided to try a different style since a lot of my stuff began to look the same...

OK, so you now have a lot of people telling you good job, so I guess its my job to tell you why you did a bad job so you can improve. First of all, on your first post and post 7 respectively, I want you to look at the signatures within each of them and tell me what is resoundingly different about them.

There's two things you need to fiddle with more, first is color. Every signature appears to just be drenched with one solid color. Its boring, its overdone, and you need to put in some consideration for the stocks that you use. Lets take the signatures in post 7. Notice how the stock images have a bunch of colors, and then you compare it to the background and it feels kind of wrong? How the backgrounds are basically just one solid color? Fix that. When starting a signature using a particular stock image, its probably going to be in your best interest to consider the colors of the stock and help reinforce those colors by using similar colors to give them more power.

This leads me to my second observation, blending. Blending, by the by, is what you do that makes the stock image feel as though it belongs in the signature itself. If you look at your first batch of signatures in post 1, notice how ever signature has the same basic structure; a cloudy/grungey looking background with a stock image placed on top of it purged with one particular color. So, here's what you do to fix that, place stuff on top of the stock image. Make it feel more at home within what you do. You dont want the stock to stick out kind of like a sore thumb here.

Here's a pair of tutorials that might help you better understand things, good luck:
