Other than the blown out height and 109 KB girth, it's very nice. Personally, I wouldn't put anything in the white space except maybe a user-name (I'm a minimalist by nature (as you can see from my current signature image)). I would also thin out the border and use a different color...hmmm...that light green on the backside of her bathing suit would be neat to mess with. |

Regarding the background, I'd suggest a beach theme with a little orange and blue. After taking a closer look, I notice the color of her behind still has traces of those tones. I like the border, but imo keep her contained within it. Shove the layer of the girl behind the border layer because currently, I see that her leg gets cut off before it touches the border bottom. = | Of course, most, if not all, of the things I'm pointing out will get fixed once you lower her down a few pixels. lol |

Cool.. looks better then your last one..
The font kind is kind of hard to read.. but who cares, it looks great.. You sure have good ideas when it comes to where to put your name Anyway there are 2 lil' things.. first Kallen has her hair a lil' choped at the ends... and then there's that line that seperates ODE GEASS from KALLEN.... it's just a lil' too thik IMO..

Ok, I did the resizing and I also edited the bottom so you didn't see the copyright stuff. I haven't put a background on it yet cause I'm now debating whether I should use this sig or not considering the resized one seems so small. Tell me what you guys think.

This is an alternative signature. I have some kind of feeling that someone is already using this. Also kayos you're right, it kinda looks retarded with the alucard avatar so as you can see I changed it. Anyways, tell me if you think this would be better to use than my current.

Hmmm.. Still think you need a BG .. but the BG would make or break the sig IMO, choosing a right one would make the sig to not feel so small .. Try out some of the suggestion for BG and see.
Kayos already said that it doesnt make any sense at all... You cant sense any synergy between the BG and the main image. BG is too chaotic as well ... too much color.. too bright .. Its kinda hard to look at for a long time.. I would suggest that you lose either 1 of the BG image.. Both lose the focus currently IMO, by using only 1, your BG would look a lil bit cleaner.. Move the quote a lil closer to underneath your name. Try to fit them in between the E's .. you can shrink the quote or enlarge your name to make it .. Also, use capital I on the quote. I'm so happy that this thread is getting more and more popular with everyone.. Really, I do .. =x Edited to fit in BC's suggestion .. Put a border aswell .. And to Riker .. SPAACEEEEE He keeps bothering me on msn about putting some space inbetween the texts and the line. Her hair on top is cut unfortunately, the options are, cropping her top hair, losing 1 of her finger near the gun, reducing her size overall .. I choosen the 1st option as I feel that the size is just nice with the dimension. Resizing her would leave some empty spot .. and cutting her finger is not really an option for me .. I dont like 4 fingers girl .. so I cut half of her head .. hmmm... Sounds Did you guys realize that this sig is actually filter based work? Only filter and layer blending mode is used.. Ok, I did use a sparkly brush on the BG .. just a bit >.<

Oh, and as a side note: I don't think that the font I used originally had a capitol I in it.. because I seem to remember not liking that about it, as well. |

heh, just in case XD Quote:
gonna edit the original post, but in fact, the signature is already a spoiler XD (you should probably edit your quote as well XD) Quote:
as for the transparent metal, i think the "as light as air" is kinda right in some case (well, that's how i think about magical girls or such XD) as for the cross, in fact, i put the device (this kind of melee weapon/staff) in each nanoha signature. that's why, i feel weird if i remove it altogether, while the 2 other sig from the same serie an structure still have their staff. Quote:
but well, we aren't really butchering, but i guess i spot my own flaws quite better with critics so, i won't hesitate for some changes XD anyway, i updated some details like i said earlier. here changes : -schwertkreuz format -minor brightness on hayate -blending change with standby ready. Quote:
since almost every sig have their critic done, i will only comment Kina's last sig, kallen one ^^ 1)i feel that the bottom right part of the sig is suddenly fading that much in white, while the top is fine. 2)there is something weird at the bottom of her gun... a text? (i really can't read it) 3) the C of code geass is a bit awkward, since it gives the impression that the C is also a part of "kallen stadfield", while there is a big gap between them. thus, it gives some weird feeling of a mistake or something (well that's my opinion >_<) nothing wrong besides the above points, the signature, while being a bit monochromatic, has a pretty nice pattern of colors. the ratio of the text and kallen is well done too. as for me, i gave up the idea for a chrono signature, and tried another "text" signature of higurashi (again ? XD). but this time, i'm really not convince entirely by the result, i had a damn hard time with rika... details: 1) the right part is supposed to show the situation of rika : she has absolutely no freedom. 2) the texts are from the Himatsubushi-hen poem, the 2 last paragraphs. (again, i played a bit with the place and way to read. the first paragraph is written vertically and must be read from the right to the left, while the second is read from the left to the right.) i agree this signature seems rather weird without any knowledge about the serie, but this was done on purpose ^^;

LMAO @ the filename.. I 1st read it as Bankai Excellent sig. Some flaws IMO.. 1) bottom mid, where the lying char meet the neck of the left char, its kinda like crop in the mid and it really really bothers me. 2) the right side .. the kanji (?) and the quote when they cry... and the tiny box girl on chain feels a bit alienated.. If I were to rate the sig.. the right side would make this sig lost to your current 1 you using honestly (but still higher then your Nanoha sig sets) .. Shows how much I love your current 1 === Regarding my sig .. 1) yea.. but then, I dont know how to to fill the bottom right spot with anything 2) its A's tail .. from my name KiNA 3) opinion rejected ... the gap is sufficient Should change my current sig for av + sig combo >.< .. but I still love my Caster. ;_; She's crying ;_;

i thought it wouldn't be too much "out of nowhere" but... what about transparency then? Quote:
well, i was scared i would be utterly murdered because of the 180° change again (well, compared to the nanoha sig of course), so i thought it would be butchered/bad rated because of the uncommon set of pictures and blending XD anyway, i tried some tweeks around, here is the V2 : -Some changes in the right -while working on the middle bottom, i felt the face wasn't really expressing its full sorrow, so i displaced it a bit. while the tears are harder to notice, i think the empty eye expression is improving the "hopeless" mood. Quote:
This is only my opinion thought, but the ratio in the caster sig is quite unbalanced (mainly because the lack of "real" BG and the background picture taking a HUGE place, without really giving an additionnal mood/message behind the main picture) while the tear is pretty well done (no contest), the picture quality suffered a lot because of the gif format (can't be helped...) but, well, indeed, use the one you like ^^

Yes.. perfect. I dont know about you, but I'll try to sharpen the eye a bit more so it stands out. But, that just a minor. Now if only I can understands those words @_@ ...
Dont really wanted to post this, since its really involves no work beside the extracting job ( which I failed miserably -- Thats what you got when doing the extraction at 2 am in the morning) And I guess I better repair the face as well.. darken blending mode sux ( more like I did ).. But, I'm happy .. it do work as promotion signature. Iroha really needs more love, the series is top quality ^.^

kiNa ~ hmm yep the colours are kinda off...it looks like the blending mode is on screen also...i duno but something doesnt look quite right...the colours itself are find but i can help but feel that theres a much needed splash of paint somwhere else ~ besides that i dont have anything to add ~ but quick question...who is she and where from? :3
Klashikari: great! again another stunning sig but a few points which looks a bit off ~ 1) i like the lighting but the flash on riku's chin is it really needed? i think it stands out a bit too much when contrasted with the BG pic which also contrasts to the colours of the lighting on the left side of the sig...so either making it blend more or remove it altogether is an option ~ 2) the text in the middle of riku's face isnt good it blocks too much of the view imo... 3) everything is pushed towards the left side with gives it a feeling of uneveness >.< tho i do understand its hard to balance everything out to me it seems that the left side is a bit cluttered while the right side is left empty ~ i think the colours also add to that effect @_@ ahh well...i think i should put mine up as well for the slaughter

Ok, I'll start off by saying... I've only started using Photoshop/Imageready a few month months back, and most of that time I spent making avatars.
Only in the past week or two that I was inspired by some of the talented sig makers in this forum to give it a try myself. I've always had trouble choosing/making a background. Having said that I recently saw the transparency tutorials/sigs made by BC. I thought what the heck I'll give it a shot. After reading over a few times and doing ALOT of trial and error, here are the results for bashing. Spoiler for sigs:
First one is nothing special... Pretty simple really... Used BC's idea of making pictures into photos on my second one :P

for the text (translation by KJ1980) :
Quote:
my only complain would be the very thick edge you have made, but i guess it was done on purpose? like several said in the RTS thread, the brightness of the face is a bit too high, so we can't really distinguish the facial expression, but meh Quote:
if so, it is in fact rika's hair (not easy to guess, since the bottom is cropped) because of the general blend mode, that part of the hair, which was already really bright on the original art is flaring ~~ if you are talking about the general brightness, i guess it is because of the "knife like shape" that i put around the eye, so it gives some contrast. Quote:
i could change the opacity of the "main" word maybe ^^; Quote:
that point will be hard to correct however, but thanks for this mention Quote:
the lines (names and the top bottom) aren't really fitting the mood i think. the true problem bugging me is the font. while your name is kinda fine, suigintou is somewhat... wierd (that font is giving me the feeling that the concerned character is very cheerful, outstanding, even slightly aggressive. i don't have much knowledge about rozen maiden, but on this pic, suigintou appears to be really bashful/peaceful) i have however a special mention about your sig you dramatically changed how you treated your picture. in general, it was a bit blurry on some BG. you have focalized the sig on a standalone picture, with a certain angle/ratio, which is a really nice improvement. Quote:
cheers ! the beginning is always hard, but later, when you are used with it, you can be steamworking ^^ Quote:
if you cant make a background, even with trouble of choosing it, try to watch the anime scene involving the character you are using. while i agree it is kinda cheap, it is one of the best way to find the best appropriate BG for the said character. Quote:
i don't think you have any problem in cutting or doing transparent sigs. now, using a full sized signature will be different but well... you can dot it, just analize your work and post them here. trust me, we won't eat you (well... maybe! )
