These are my latest sigs that I recently made.

Not bad. I love the hands holding the building, its secksual.

you a progressing, i like it.

progressing? he's moving faster than i ever could have hoped. srsly, good job rock. I like all of them.

Here something I just finish it was a request for a friend and thank you Halibel for providing me with the render.

Nice sigs, though some of them are flat and have lighting sources in the wrong place, like the Yoko and Ishida sigs. =\

I like that popout one, though IMO, it would be better if the sig part was on top and it popped out from the bottom or to have the sig part in the middle to have the hands and part of the top buildings popping out, it would be using the render (or stock) in a way to make the depth stand out more.

Your recent one is pretty ok, though the white spots around the bottom and left edges sort of ruin the lighting source IMO. You could add a little more FX to some of your sigs imo.

^I completely agree with you, I still need to work a lot on lighting on my sigs, thanks for the suggestion I will work on them and see how it turns out.

just a note. see rebirths post in every sig or LP related thread for tips on giving good CnC. He's very good at it. CnC can help you improve. Just saying, 'awww that's great' isn't good CnC. I'm not calling names, cuz I do the same thing sometimes. It takes practice to get good at it, but don't be afraid. Most people are looking for constructive criticism.

^CnC always help me. So thanks guys

Here is my latest I think my lighting on this one is a lot better then my other sigs.

i agree with you. i've always liked that stock btw. ooo, i have CnC. Try doing something different with the text. You text choice is nice, btw, but you could try adding to it, making it blend more etc. text is really important. i fail at it often. But play around with you. it can make or break your tag. otherwise, im pleased with this sig. the lighting is much better, but consider the light on sasukes face also. i know absolute shit about naruto, so if thats not him then im fukan sorry >_>

^II really need help with text.

latest stuff-I'm trying to do some stuff in black and white now




CnC please.

Hmm...

So cool! You always have such interesting BG's on your sigs. But I notice you are using the same (or a very similar) font for nearly every sig. Its' a nice font you have to get something new.

Sig1:

I love the direction you went with this sig. The effects you used work well with the render, except I just hate that render. ><''. Also the text and light source need a re-work.


sigs2&3:

I like the one with color the best. I'm really not sure how to describe what's going on here, but I know it's pretty damn cool. I just think someting has to be done about that empty space, and the text.......

And the light source. ><''

^I know I was suppose to erase it but I got too lazy to go fix it so I just left it, and yeah I'm going to try out some new text later on, guess I'll focus more on lighting and text on my next stuff,thanks for the help Craver.

Here are some of my new sigs:

Update:
newest to oldest


(didn't turn out to well but w/e)
(sotw entry)

CnC please.

i love the smudging on the tat sig. you get better everytime you post something. really the one thing you need to work on is the text. for one thing, you dont always have to put your name on em. vary the text some, look for something that matches the sig. otherwise id say you're progressing quite well.

I agree with Hali, the text is an issue. But I my favs are definitely the two you have in your sig now. The guitar one being the best, nice blending skillz, imo.

Good work on all of those. On the third, however, I gots a suggestion. With a pop-out sig, never, ever cut off portions of the pop-out part. It destroys the entire effect.

EDIT:
Oh yeah. You need some new fonts like bad dude.

Secks imho.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I really appreciate since it helps. As for the fonts I'm trying to get my fonts in the font folder but not all of them are showing up maybe I leave out text for my next sigs

As for my pop out sigs I'm still working on improving them.

Update...
Well here are my new sigs:




(meh)

(request for someone)

CnC please.

i really like the ed sig the best. it's got the best flow and all. which flow you usually have kicked pretty well. some of the firey ones are a little too bright in some areas and oversharpened, which is an easy mistake to make. i still do it myself sometimes. the third one, the same one you're using in ur sig, is great. if you need help installing those fonts let me know in the help section and ill see if i can assist. i know u asked awhile back but i was playing xbox when u did and then i forgot anyway you're still getting better. now its time to work on putting some emphasis on your focal point. the fourth one, the focal gets lost in the background somewhat imo.

No thats ok GP I got the font to work now so it is okay now I'll just download the font pack from here so I have more though.

Update:
Here are my latest:
(the stock to squish I think I still like it though)




CnC please

Not too crazy about the borders but overall I'd say they are pretty good and I like them. The Ichigo one is my favorite. The third one I like a lot too, it could use some more fx imo. The first one the render looks like it got a bit stretched when you tried to resize it, and it could use a better light source, other than that its good. GJ Oh one last thing, they all would look a lot better with out the text you put, it just doesn't pop enough/doesn't fit.

Latest Sigs:
(ignore the text forgot to delete it)


(^Was trying something different for this one but it didn't turn out the way I wanted it too)


CnC please.

second one and last one ftw rockie. I see you found your stock, sorry i couldnt help, but i did add the resource request area anyway the last one is a little monotone to me, but i see what you did with the background and im pleased that you're trying different text.

the only things i dont like about the second one is the text and the border.

and the text one #1 isn't really blended well enough for my tastes, but you made good use of a c4d

not really sure what you were aiming for w/ the third one but its not my fav.

^Well I was trying to make everything cloudy for the third sig but that didn't went to well, anyways here is my first sprite sig I pleased with it but it still needs improvement.



CnC please.

i like how he's punching the ground and you captured the motion of it. only thing id recommend (and i know nada about some damn sprites) but id use moar c4ds to commit sparks.

Well just made some new sigs yesterday, after not making any for a week or so.




CnC please.

Here are some sigs I made today....

CnC please

damn you're getting a lot better. your blending is on point. the first one especially is awesomely sexual

man rock u got some pretty nice sigs

^Thanks Guys^

Here is my latest:

CnC please

om man, great job rock. i like how you used a people stock, its a needed change and a step forward. you have a bit of deph there and that's great, you also have some nice lighting, but i would have loved to see it in color.

^I was gonna go with color but it was just really bad in color so I decided to make it one color by adding a photofilter and it looked way better.

Here are my two latest:


-I'm still finding it hard to work with real people stocks, but I'm quite please with this one.

CnC please

Work on the text in the first... Change the color, for one, but the current placement is probably the best place for it. Gj with that. However, the sig is messy overall, and the focal needs work. Never stick your focal too far to one side of the canvas. Nice work on the color and effects.

The second's a bit blurry, but I like it better than the first. The light source isn't well-defined, in fact it looks like it spreads against the entire bottom half of the canvas. However, you'll take heart in knowing that light sources are often easier with real-life pieces rather than anime.

I like the effects and colors, but work on the light source. Good work, Rock.

^Thank you so much for the advice BT. I been trying out different stuff for my sigs but they're not turning out the way I like all the time.

but here is my latest sig.

wow nice new one rock

I like this one

mg]

and this one



and your rotating sig in your sig area is pretty cool too.

^Thanks for the comments guys^
Here are my latest:

i notice that your bgs are very similar.. i'm not saying that is a bad thing cos the bgs are really good, but you might wanna try something different..

^Thanks for the suggestion I try something different on my next one^


Here is my latest:



I still need serious help with text guys so do you guys have any advice?

Here is my latest sig guys I tried something new this time.
Version one:

Version two:


CnC please.

Check this tut out, its basic but helped me leaps and bounds

Even though they're a little oversharpened imo, I just loveee these:







They have really great flow and the focals really "pop."

Your newest one seems a little bland in comparison, though I do appreciate you not sticking with the same style for everything. In the latest one I would try to spruce up the text a bit. It has good placement, but is rather dull. As I've suggested to other people, try textual clipping masks, or make the text an overlay layer, or give it a glow, shadow, brushing...anything to make it a bit more polished.

Well here is something I mad today not my best but I just didn't know what else to do with this one.



CnC please.

My latest:

-request for someone.

CnC please.

Here are my latest;



CnC please.

Nicely done on on both. I especially like the FMA one. They're both very artistic although perhaps the Ichigo vs Shirosaki seems a tad bit busy but that's just because the stock was a fresco at first. Well done!

im a fan of the ichigo vs hichigo one lol

nice but i think u shoulda erased sum of the effects on ichigo's face

Really like the Hichigo v Ichigo one but I agree that there's probably too much effects on Ichigo's face.

The Inoue one is also nice: Simple but effective.
