New tag using my own vector of Kida Masaomi.
I tried using some really bold colors just to see how it would work; I stuck mainly with yellow and blue-purple to create somewhat of a complementary color scheme.
C&C please.

If you're asking what programs can be used to make tags then I make mine in Photoshop CS3 which costs money.
However, there are free alternatives to Photoshop. Here's a thread that can be found in the Dazzle Me forums that gives a list and links to the major graphic programs:
Resources: Graphic Programs
Out of the free ones, I recommend using either GIMP or Paint.NET.

Had a couple hours to kill on campus. I always forget to bring a book or something... Oh well.
Please C&C.

C&C?
Re: Cotaku's Sigs and whatnot
It's been a good 11 days now. I think I'm safe.

Just a colored version of my Space Lelouch tag. Now with added text!
C&C on this and anything else here, please. <3
Re: Cotaku's Sigs and whatnot
Floating head signature. The colors are nice, the overall scheme with circles is good, but there isnt much going on with the tag overall. Could use some depth. Also, stop using the exact same type over and over again. Impact with that utterly terrible drop shadow, its just not necessary.
I say your best way to get out of doing repeats, is try something new, and something harder. Here's what I would suggest on your next tag. Pick a stock, and then just fill the entire signature. Like, with everything, and anything. Make it IMPOSSIBLE for you to add text anywhere, and just run with it. Dont use any lighting effects, dont use any depth (no blur or sharpen), just fill the tag. Do that, and I guarantee some new doors will open for you.
Re: Cotaku's Sigs and whatnot
What I like more about your work is how clean you keep it, Its just me I like clean things but I have tried others and they just add a little something to my repertoire of skills so trying a new technique once in a while its good to try. Again I really like your sigs.

Extract by Serated.
I tried to take Serated's advice and fill the tag, but I ended up putting some text in there anyway, so I guess it isn't technically filled...
C&C is appreciated.

A request from Elphaba.
Submitted to us through the Illuminated Spirits Request Thread in the Dazzle Us Request subforums.

Re: Cotaku's Sigs and whatnot
Has it only been a month? It seems a lot longer... Oh well. I'm back with a request from Galactic Pretty Boy.
http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...DTakutoTAG.png
Another request from the IS requests thread.
He supplied an image from the Star Driver anime and I had to accept. Takuto is one hot bishounen, after all. ;D
I just noticed that I'm falling into a repetitive border style, though. Damn.
C&C is appreciated once again!
Re: Cotaku's Sigs and whatnot
With what time I had tonight, I decided to make myself a tag.
http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...KUizayatag.png
I hadn't made a DRRR!! tag yet, so I decided to use an extraction of Izaya. (And a mighty fine one at that.)
I tried using a colored border to get me out of my border-rut (see last post) and I thought going with a simpler font would be... unique, for lack of a better word? We'll see how that goes...
C&C please!
Re: Cotaku's Sigs and whatnot
Wow Cotaku, you make wonderful signatures. Do you take requests?
Re: Cotaku's Sigs and whatnot
Oh my gosh Demoni, you have improved so much, since I last checked out your stuff awhile back. Your newest signature looks amazing! Did you use the pen tool to make the triangles or was that a brush? It looks so cool. ^_^
Re: Cotaku's Sigs and whatnot
@SomeOtherCookiez: Thank you! I occasionally take requests, but sometimes I take a while to get to them due to school and work. .__.
@Aleyna: I haven't seen you around the forums in awhile! Welcome back! I wish I used the pentool to make them, but sadly no. They are actually a C4D.
Well, I have another one!

Extraction belongs to Serated.
Two tags in two nights?! It's been awhile since that's happened...
I don't know why I make these Saber tags; I've never even watched FateStay Night...
Anyway, I tried to be a little creative with the text and the border was inspired by Serated's new(-ish) style of borders. (I felt like covering up Saber with the border kind of took away from the tag.)
It's a bit empty, though, I guess.
C&C is welcome and appreciated. :D
Re: Cotaku's Sigs and whatnot
I think it looks nice. I love the colors, though it does feel a little empty. Also why does her head go beyond the border? Makes it look weird to me, other than that it's pretty good though.
Re: Cotaku's Sigs and whatnot
I actually don't like the black border, though I don't mind the head popped out, and the inner glow of the text and how it's placed. Alo,o I know you are trying to draw focus to the face, but the blurrs in the effects annoyed me and take away quality to the signature in my opinion. Sorry for the harsh comments, I was just being honest. I know you can way better than this, and after all, it's just a tutorial. :) Tutorials in my opinion are good for learning certain effects, in the directions they give you, to apply in your own creations.
Re: Cotaku's Sigs and whatnot
@Yurka: A vast majority of my tags end up feeling empty. I'm trying to work on this, but this tag just kind of "needed" to be empty, I thought. If that makes sense... XD
And like I said in the post, her head goes above the border because covering it up looked wrong.
@Aleyna: Your comments aren't harsh. :)
I can see what you mean about the black border now that you mention it. The uneven areas of blur and sharpness are my lame attempt at creating depth. Just ignore it. XD
Here's another one:

Look! A generic spacey/sparkle tag!
Don't mind me... just procrastinating from homework...Yeah...
Re: Cotaku's Sigs and whatnot
This is pretty. :) Did you use a filter for the sparkles? They look familiar, the design. I kind of wish the signature was a bit bigger or the image of the girl was resized so I could see her head.
