Oh, the line thing going across the sig, looks a bit weird. Making it ending just before the render and just after the text would look nice. It looks good, but something is not right. Nice job overall anyways, I like it.

EDIT: Wooo! 200th post.

yay! 200th! ^_^ Okay, well I tried to fix the things you pointed out, hopefully you notice them!

Thank you konstar-chan Yeah, Toma Ikuta from HanaKimi = cutie!

Alright, after taking kasumi-chan's tips and also the remarks from the april sotm thread, here is my outcome, first

Spoiler for Original for comparison:

Edited one:

Comments appreciated as usual~

[BearShare]

It's a really nice sig. A little too bright and overlycontrasted in some places. The foreground and backround seem to blend in a bit too well but that's all right with me. A really nice sig overall.

[Izayoi]

Good job on the Signature, the light source is too bright and the color doesn't really go well. Yellow? Red-Yellow.

A really nice sig overall.

I think Red-Yellow does goes pretty well. In fact I don't see ant difference of the siggies at all. :/

Thanks, yeah, I'm still working on the 'overly contrasted' parts.

I shall heartily disagree about that opinion of red and yellow, hehe

I'll get around to making a jun avi sometime, I just need to hunt down a good image for it. I'm also glad you like the sig ^_^

Well, if you look carefully, you'll notice that I put more of a distinction between the back of her head and the background. I also lessened the shadows in the right since it was a bit much in the original version. Also darkened her eyes and the text a little.

Anyways, I'm working on a second sig for the april sotm:

It's definitely not finished. I feel that something is lacking, either around her or around the bottom right corner, so I haven't added several layers yet. Opinions would be appreciated!

I like the first one I made better too, I seem to make a habit of this: making multiple sigs, but I put all my effort in the first one and sortof fizz out on the ones following it!

Thank you all ^_^ Was quite a pleasure to see it when I logged in

Gratz on your third box!

Nice font on your newest siggie.
<-- Loves century gothic or any rounded simple font.

Anyways, the twigs/branches just seem a little overdone. No, wait - I think I worded that wrongly. All I was meant to say is lower the opacity of the twiggy branches on the right side. And I absolutely love her eyes, so maybe putting a small light source near the sake, and make the light reflect a bit in her eyes? It'll maybe work effective, maybe not. It has a sort of weird sense of depth going on. There is some depth, but maybe not enough. What i'm pointing out isn't really what it lacks, but what I think it could use. Overall, it's a very interesting signature.

Nice job with it, keep it up!

EDIT: Here is an example of what I meant with the eye thinggy -

[konstargirl]

What do you all mean by third box?????

@Marina oh now I see a little bit of a difference. XD ONe is more lighter then the other.

Oh, it means that Marina-chan finally could stack three boxes on top of one another.
