Alright, starting to get things now. SO, here's my big question in terms of your design for the latest tags, fundamentally how are they different from each other? Given, they are using different stocks and renders, different colors and text, and colors, but how are they different from each other overall?
You use the shape tool mixed in the Liquify filter to make those funny looking vector shapes. Its good, but I think its a bit dull that Tags 1 and 3 are basically the same, as are tags 4 and 5. They're not bad, they're just boring to me when you look at them all in a group.
MIX THINGS UP! Time to abuse stuff like smudging and C4Ds. I can supply you with any vector, or extraction you like, but dont stop pushing the limits of your designs.
Loving the style in the tags of post 76, even down to the typography.
I like the second tag in particular <3
make sure to bath your sera at least once a day

My approach is to start with the criticism first so as to finish things on a good note. So here goes...
The criticisms I have (and even then, they're not really major... so don't worry) is that your sigs seem to be slightly on the small side at times; that is to say, they seem to have a size just below the usual 450x150pixels. Having said that, it's a better idea than having them look like posters... which would go against the point of a signature anyway. My second observation (which is perhaps more of a preference than a criticism) is that I don't see much in the way of foreground-to-background depth with your images, although maybe that's something you prefer not to do, since I'm sure someone with your skills would be quite capable of creating such effects. Personally, I feel it's a bit of shame that your sigs for the most part have images where depth of field could have been used effectively... and due to the lack thereof, they somewhat look flat in appearance to me.
Anyway, that's that the criticism over, now I'll get to the good points: Overall your sigs are of a high standard; clean, crisp, and well designed in terms of colour selection and composition. I especially like the last one here, where you've used a more limited colour scheme with some nice accents thrown in. Also your work here really proves your fine skills with applying vector graphics (if I'm right there). My overall impression is that you're sigs are consistantly fun, exciting and always brimming with nice details. The images always look as if they want to burst out... and I like that!
So overall, it's a thumbs up from me, and I'd like to add... keep up the fantastic work!

Woot 4 cnc. Here we go:
The first one is really cool. Composition is nice, not too much going on in the front. My biggest concern in this one is the text and the heart at the top right corner. The heart looks kinda pixely, but I'm being picky again. And the font looks....empty? Maybe some subtext, because the font itself looks a little plain but still fits.
The second one is gorgeous. I can't say anything bad about it, except maybe a little more lighting.
Nothing to say about the third one, nice job.
On the fourth one I think you could've filled the blank space on the left with some sort of text or image or something. It's just a little to much space.
Wowowowow, these are pretty cool! I like the way you incorporated all the colors to correspond. Sometimes, people do totally different things with the colors, and they turn out a bit distracting.
❝you're horribly facinating.❞
Thanks!
@Neuko: I see what you mean, some of my tags are big, but I have the hardest time fitting effects into them most of the time xD Thanks though! I will try some sized up ones.
@Ellipsis: It is, I over sharpened it :< I need to watch out with that. I agree with everything you've said. I've never been the best with text, so thanks for the tip!
@Saxima: Thanks!

All these good signatures T__T I will never be that good, How long does it take you to make a normal signature ? Average.

i like it cause the render is high quality, the focal fits right for me .!
Wow, Shira, you have changed your name a lot!(Psst!!! Hi, by the way )
Ok, back to topic! I like the death penalty to all signature's grunginess, but I feel like it is a little too dark for me, like I would of tried to make the text lighter.
I hope to keep seeing stuff from you! I've always enjoyed looking at your signatures!

Damn girl. You're STILL making awesome stuff.
I agree with Serated, you need to make a tutorial on one of them.
... You don't mind sharing a PSD do you? I don't really care which one it is. I just wanna see how it looks and how it progresses!
Lemme know~

The light in the first one is just fantastic, the only thing I would change is the little circle swirl by his arm, the second for me looks like there's too much going on and I the focal wasn't the first thing I saw but rather red and her hand with the flower. The third one is my favourite, the light is good but the bottom left corner looks a bit empty, the last one was my least favourite because it seems empty on the right and it just looks odd to me. Anyways good work, I can't wait to see more in the future. ^_^;;

The lighting on the third one is fantastic! They're all fantastic actually, just a few small few things bothing me because I'm nitpicky.
