Hey Capture, it's good to be back. I was having a chat with Marina-chan yesterday and thought it would be a good idea to just critique members and coach them on how to improve their sigs... especially for these SOTW comps. I'm glad you like my work. Although it has been a very very long time since I've made sigs and yesterday was my first batch. Still shaking off the rust =)

Coolio sigs, but I no likey the text >.<
Seriously though, I cower away from that monstrous sized text in your request Nadeko sig. It just jumps out too much and the monotone color also seems like a cop out after all your subtle work in the background. I've also never liked Papyrus font in sigs. The Sephiroth sig works the text better, but I would go for a bit more opacity in the phrase "Wings symbolize freedom / for those who have none" Very silly current sig/avi combo

I tried with the opacity changes and even went with the whole soft light and overlay but the background didn't want to compliment it well. I just masked a C4D behind the text and worked it a bit. I actually forgot to put the text on when I finished the work lol. I had to shift all the layers over to the right just to fit the text. You can cut me some slack since I'm a bit rusty from taking a year off of making sigs... well at least a long couple of months =) Jk, no excuses in the sig making world right? On to the next sig project! Oh yeah, don't hate on Hinaichigo =) You know it's kawaii!

It's almost been a year since I last posted on my thread =( Oh well, hope everyone is doing well. I'm a bit rusty, so please forgive my crude sig. It's my first official one for 2011.

So there you have it lol! My 5 minute work to let you know I'm still alive! Can't let go of this style just yet because there is much more I need to learn to make my work better. There is no perfect sig and always room for improvement =) When I have a bit more time, I will have to stop by your thread and the rest to leave my cNc on member's works. Hope all is well with you and keep up the great work!

The way you blended the colors with the text as it goes on worked quite well. The purple on the girl's strings seems to distract my eyes atleast. This signature is not AS-safe yes? So many effects being placed on it probably sets it quite over the limit.

Thankies! I'm currently away from home and maybe I'll have a chance to make another sig. Been trying to find a nice render to work with. Currently looking at Rinder from Fate Stay Night at the moment. Might have to tinker with it for a bit. We'll see =)
