well enough talking:

Looks okay, you just need to make it look like the bg isn't being split apart by the foreground. You got the busy looking bg on the left that isn't carried over behind the two girls. Fate and Nahona need to be a little darker, and blurred a tiny bit to set them apart from the bg (the photo effect/image effect 'oil pastel' will do both, just ramp it down to about 25% or until it looks right to you).



drop shadow??

Okay I tried to follow both of your advices but I cannot find another suitable font nor color that stands out and doesn't look weird =/

Fixing the bg works, now it doesn't look cut in half, and the drop shadow just doesn't work well as is... I have no idea how to improve that, so perhaps just removing it would be best.

[geki~]

C4Ds are mostly used to create uhh how to name it a flash of light effect? not so that it draws your attention to them. Remove the drop shadow, since it makes the girls look, well too 2D. Also try blending the render more in with the background. I'd suggest to make a gradient for bg, then add some brushes around the girls, then use couple of layers of the c4d, blending it in by setting the layers to color dodge or something like that. And putting the picture on the top. Use your creativity and you'll come up with something. The way it looks now, is kinda plain. Also with the font. Not always are the flashy, curly or in some other way special fonts the best. If your signature itself is already pretty effective, I'd go for simpler fonts because using the special ones just overdoes it~ Ah yes. Sometimes a better font result is achieved, when the text layer is set to soft light and the layer is multiplied once or twice~
Hope this helps^.^

Yea thanks a lot, I'll try it soon, but I did have some of my own effects on this sig, I guess its not very noticeable (havent gotten the time today to do anything , well except a minor update)



@Sweet-Imouto- Thankies :3

Moo... personally i prefer the old font style... Though it might has something to do with the blending option of your new font. And removing the shadow makes it look alot better.

Btw, been on my mind for awhile. what anime is your signature from? Is it School Days?

Lol a lot of ppl have been asking this lately yes it is from School Days =]

[Sephi]

I thought of recognizing the characters. But at the same time it was doubting it a bit, due to the info i heard about School Days. Meh.. i should stop forming my own opinion about a anime i haven't even saw yet ^.^

There is something about the sigie that keep stealing my focus on other things

Perhaps i'll watch it next. Just that following 7 anime at the moment is already a lot imo. And ugh.. i don't wanna spend even more time watching anime than i'm already doing.

[innominate]

Icy...
There's something really wrong with your current signature... D=...

Um. Nah, I think it's just me... ^^"
