It's nice, but I think the scanlines on the top is unnecesary

What I'm saying is you do the same thing all over and over. You don't even make an attempt to learn a new style from tutorials. There are many tutorial sites out there, my style is hardly plain at all, I'm 100% sure that you wouldn't know what I did. And plus if needed to I am able to different styles as well because I took time to learn new things. And what I do takes more skill then like I said, brushing a layer, slapping a render on and text. Theres no effects on the renders to make it look better. You could use filters and etc to make your sig much better.

Your sigs are nice at all but they all look similar. If you want to improve I suggest learning new styles and eventually you can create your own style from many different things you learned. Not just use some brushes slap on the render and then text.

It seems like all your doing in your sigs is brushing then if you had a render you would slap a render on there and then just slap on some text...

Text is boring. The background is a little to dark and the render is blended in too much which makes it sort of an eye sore. I suggest making the render more visible.

The background is a little bit too messy and busy and there are no effects on the render at all which i suggest you do to make it better. The sig lacks depth in colour. Like it has to be catchy to the eye. To make it have depth try using gradient maps and changed them to overlay, soft light or whatever you want to make it look better.

Personally vector sigs aren't my thing but good job none theless.

Yes! That's what I was trying to do. The shattering glass effect.

I can't say I like this one. The typography is weak and unprofessional, the 3D is non-existant, the sparks are distracting, and it looks very blurry. No depth, no creativity, the colours leave much to be desired. On the other hand, this one isn't bad, and is a big step up from the last. The text still needs a lot of work, and the tacky sparks are still there, but they are much more subtle this time. Some sort of 3D can now be seen, which is also good. It's starting to get some depth in it, and the vibrant colours are much more interesting than the above sig. Still not much creativity or originality, but, as I've said, much better than the last. Overall, they are pretty good. You should try bringing more creativity and originality into your sigs, and relying less on filters and stock images. Good luck! :) You know your stuff... I understand the text problem, I've been just testing out the text for the last couple of signatures. I know how to do other text so I will do that after. For the first one, the dots are an effect made for the signature called the shattered glass effect which is basically the background it is a smudge technic using the X brush. Perhaps it may be too blurry but that is for the viewer to decide, also I think I understand what you meant.Around the outside of the render at the top is supposed to blend in the render because it isn't needed to see the edges. It may seem blurry but it blends in the render and it also helps create the shattered glass effect. I guess the colours need to be more vibrant, I had added a gradient map for that signature, perhaps should've been a darker colour. The second one I didn't want the C4D render to be too visible. Again I was using a smudge technic called the shattered glass effect. I haven't used many filters at all actually. I've used gaussian blur and sharpened it up just to make it better. I don't see where you going with no creativity but that's your opinion.

Their all too simple. You need to work on the backgrounds more and perhaps make it look better by applying a gausian blur. The text is too simple also and looks bad you should blend it in more using blending options.

Something else I had just created...

Any more comments?

Ouch H2 lol. I like how Heroes has an option where multiple people can play at one computer so you can have a game with your friends right beside you.

Sure am. Been playing heroes since number 3.

One of my newest styles, I have been working on. The following were used in this sig: Gradients 4 C4D renders although you cannot see them at all Smudging style which means no brushes used at all Photo filters Enjoy.

Pretty nice although, some of the colours don't really work and if you want to spice it up and make it look better you should a gaussian blur in there.

Or you could've just saved it as a .jpg.

Thanks. Bump

Maybe because I wasn't going to use the same signature and these are just to show what I've done. Several of those I never use. I just liked the render. I'd rather not make them taller because they become fatter and it will get to big for my liking if it gets taller.

Right anyways a small introduction. My real life name is Vitalik and my rsn is Dragonvit although I never play anymore and I'm in the clan Blacknights. Alright let's move on. I do signatures as a hobby and stuff and I'm gonna use this post to post them and if I'm in the mood, I might make signatures for anyone who wants one. The following is my work, most of these signatures I have made for myself or finished requests on the bk forum... And just one last thing I want to say to everyone who uses photoshop to create signatures. Keep learning! Use tutorials often to learn many new styles. It will help you on your overall technic. You will improve if you keep practicing. The more styles you learn and you can mold in your own style. Anyways enough of my babbling my latest works. Also if you say I need to add a border there is one. A white one since the background on the bk forums is black so it would blend in there. Simple photo manip signature: Abstract with Render signature: Abstract with Render signature: Another abstract with Render Signature: Yet another "Dreamy" abstract with render signature: Lol another one Grunge: Another Grunge: Another Grunge: Default smudge signatures(No Brushes) Grunge Another default one (No brushes) C4D/Smudge signature C4D/Smudge Signature Hockey C4D Signature Well I hope you enjoyed looking at the various signatures I have made and feel free to ask questions if you need help on photoshop or whatever.

Interesting work but one thing...Bevil=Devil, flat text still works just as fine if not better.
