The first 2 seems off the topic IMO. She doesn't seem look...sad. The one with the rain (3rd one), I think that one is better.

[Ledgem]

Simple1 and I have an initial collaboration set. We'll do a trial image (or a few) and see how we like it. Should be interesting.

[Kanariya]

@ Cyz

really? @_@
oh, that's ok ^^
thx!!

any suggestions for the background?
T_T

i think that i should give some more effects but i just don't know what to do... xD

[KholdStare]

Wow. It's interesting how popular Suigintou is with the "despair/sorrow" theme.

C&C:

@KiNA: I think it's just too weird in a way, but maybe it's because this sig is too different from your other sigs. The crying animation is perfect IMO, but Suigintou's face is just...too big, taking up half of the sig, which attributes to why the sig is kinda bright.

@CrowKenobi: Overall the sig is good, but maybe the background could be in a different hue. The main problem is if the sig is too borderline to the theme, since you're kinda relying on the fact that we have watched Rozen Maiden before and Suigintou + junk = despair/sorrow. The edges are rough in some spots too.

@Kanariya: Like Cyz said, I don't think the sig conveys despair/sorrow. As for the background, since the render itself doesn't have that many colors, you could try to animate the rain. The text is kinda bright, but I like the black/white contrast there.

[BearShare]

^I can't even tell what it is. o.o

[Marina]

@yFANTgirl a girl lying on the ground in the rain with all the color sapped away? I think that qualifies for sorrow. If that is indeed what I'm seeing, since it took me a few seconds to see it correctly.

[Klashikari]

^ I concur, I identified the picture quickly as well.
The "broken metal wings" add another touch of a "wasteland effect". Actually one of the most fitting sig so far for the theme IMO.

Is it a girl with broken wings or a broken doll?

Whichever the two it is, it's obviously portraying sorrow (also agreeing with Marina). It looks good.

[BearShare]

Now that you pointed it out, it does look pretty obvious.
As the others said, I agree that it fits with the theme.

[Solace]

When I see that sig, I'm heavily reminded of Battle Angel Alita:

[Endrance]

My first attempt..Im thinking about going the animation route with this one since i have so much free time this month

[Izayoi]

@Bearshare: Lulz, shredding true tears behind the screen.

It's about time we stop with these fancy/sadistic theme...right??

If you're talking about despair then yes you hit spot on

You dont watched Ouverture yet I assumed ;_;

What I'm trying to achieve is that the BG became her memory part.. focusing on her sorrowfull face thus the hueg chunk of it is dedicated to her lovely face.

How is it different?

@Mitsu Aoi.. let see whose tears are imba then
