I apologise if they suck, I'm not great at PS. (All are 450 x 150, hopefully under 50k bytes...)
Signatures are based off official art.

Spoiler for K-ON!! (S2) Character Image Songs FanSigPack (16 images):

A preview of the next freebie signature pack I'm working on... (inspired by Rock Band)
<Post superseded>
Feel free to leave any suggestions for improving these! Thanks to Ryonea for removing the background in the original pictures!

Those are fantastic! I'd claim one of those in a heartbeat when you're done:P I like how you used the Beatles RB guitar logo for Yui, and the splash of colour around the character really accentuates the rest of the black/white background and text.

^ Thanks for the compliments, although they aren't as brilliant or complex as Patchy's ones... Her sigs are amazing!
(Even the ones I've made for myself pale in comparison...)

I agree that Patchy-san has amazing signatures; but everyone's got their own style!

In your own style, they're fantastic. In Patchy-san's own style, her signatures are fantastic as well.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing more on this set, best of luck!

No need to compare yourself you're still learning after all, and as papermario said, it's a matter of style too. Everyone has their own characteristics.
And If I might add, when it comes to visual arts, what matters the most is the "image" and "feel"

IMO yours are simple (technically), but strong on the "image" since you could capture the themes (like the "Listen" theme, etc.) very well

And as for the newest set, I think they look okay as they are now, nothing to comment so keep it up.

Minor revision: added character signatures. Any thoughts?

Spoiler for Rev. 2: Still drafting, but I think it's okay...:

I see you've added signatures to your...signatures.

I like the idea, but I feel that the writing obscures the instrument logos. Perhaps if you moved them or sort of merged them with the splash effect then it would look better.

[blaze0041]

Oh dear...
Tried shrinking the signature text, I'm not too sure about it! (Any attempt to put the signature text even remotely close to the paint effect made it look bad... doesn't look good in white either!)

Spoiler for Rev. 3: Shrunk signature & instrument text, spruced up "theme" text:

How about shrinking the instrument logo? then place the instrument name on it. Both are aligned at the center.

And then place the character signature on the bottom right corner and have their name and the band's name on them.

I think all of them requires shrinking the text even more.

I'm not really sure it'll look good, but maybe you want to try it.

[blaze0041]

Once again with feeling!
Paint effect size increase, instrument icon shrunk and set to overlay. Reverted signature text size. Various text size shifting and decreasing.

Spoiler for Rev. 4: Still trying.:

Hmm... Not sure what you mean by that. Yui's signature does look like that- all the character's signatures can be found on the inside of the slipcase of the album Ho-Kago Tea Time II (Limited Edition). The fonts are meant to imtate the style of Harmonix's Rock Band games...

[blaze0041]

Double posting, since I have some new freebie avatars and signatures!

Spoiler for K-On!! is Rock!! (inspired by Rock Band 3; again, thanks to Ryonea!):

Spoiler for FanAvatarPack:

Spoiler for FanSigPack:

Also, revising the C79 K-ON!! FanAvatarPack, since they look rather ugly when shrunken down. (now in PNG!)

Spoiler for C79 K-ON!! FanAvatarPack (Version 2):

[Hiroi Sekai]

The colour spray on black really accentuates the signatures in my opinion; good to see you've moved the obstructed logos. They actually look really cool in the spray!

The avatars are almost as awesome; the signatures had more to play with so it's an unfair comparison anyways.^^ Might I claim the Yui one?

Another great set, you worked around all the problems I had before.

Claim away!

I claim Mio. You say it's free, so I feel free to take it ^^

Spoiler for img:

Where did you take these icons from? Did you create them? They are very very cool indeed. The whole stuff is pretty awesome. I just kind of not like the green one. Could be more of a venom green. Also the character is much smaller than the others. I usually like her a lot.

[blaze0041]

@Otaku Guy: You may.
@AuroraFlash: Please look up a few posts (regarding the icons)... And if you look at the original picture, you'll understand why Azusa is the smallest in the group... Also, turquoise has always been Azusa's theme colour, so changing it to green didn't seem right. Thanks for your honesty, though!
