I love the sword reflection. I think it's really creative and it shows his eyes where we can't really see them on him. or her. And I love the colors.

With the before and after? Let's see, you upped the contrast a bit, made the colors slightly more vivid and noticeable in the white background area, the white is not so overwhelming, and I'm noticing more details and faint patterns on the man's robes. That, and you added SOTM 2010. All of these details are very subtle, however, those little details to me bring out the quality of the signature. Overall, very nice indeed.

^ Alright, moved it on another spot. Seriously, where do I need to put the text to make it not be a distraction?

Just a suggestion:



What I would do is, type the text in the direction of the arrows and a bit smaller size

Ooh, you're right. Thanks I'll try that one.

Instead of a distraction, it'll be a part of what you're looking at!

Namiey added different borders in both sigs.

@ Cyz
Well... let's just say I like what I see so far... Also, Kaze made a great suggestion. If you can manage that, I don't think the text will distract us from what's supposed to be the distracting characteristic...

@ Geki
Interesting sig, and good for the theme... though she creeps the hell out of me...

@ Mittwoch
Colors have been vivified, which is great... however, I somehow think the colors look... faded somehow. Something I found more prevalent in the previous version. It's a phenomenal signature, though the colors personally irk me just a tad.

@ Namiey
Great signature, and an almost haunting feel in a dimly lit setting. Though, the only difference I see in the versions is simply a black border has been added to the second. For what it's worth, I suppose the black brings out and makes the sig pop out.

@ Milan Kyuubi
Version 4 has the colors more vivified, and the text is nicely positioned in a way that makes it noticeable, though subtle enough not to distract from the rest of the image. However, I'd recommend a more... fitting font style. What that style is, I have no clue. Maybe just a personal preference, but I would emphasis the dividing line between the girl and the source of reflection a bit more, or make the mirror just a bit more obvious. However, details and colors have a subtle tone to it, so my idea might just break that. And we wouldn't want to break that harmony, would we? I don't have much to say about the other sig at the moment, other than I like your other signature better.

My entry for the month. Definitely a more difficult theme than I thought it would be.

Hmm... Interesting signature. This one looks very nice, and "Fade Away" really sums up the overall expression and mood of the sig. It's almost likes its from a supernatural, suspenseful... well, you get what I'm talking about. Creepy, but in a very good way.

It looks pretty great. Though maybe the girl's a bit too bright, and the text can look better if it's moved a little to the left...?

[Star-Wing]

@Namiey - I liked the version 2
@Solace - Beautiful entry; liked it a lot. But as Halad already said, it does look a bit too bright in the middle. Also, maybe making the eyes stand out more might make it more attractive
@Milan - Try adding a couple of photo filters; it will tone down the brightness and give a beautiful shade too. Even gradient (maybe of black and light purple/pink) might help too; otherwise the sig is coming out nice.
Same with your new try; toooo bright; use the brightness/contrast to bring it down.
@geki - Simple but lovely.
@Mittwoch - I don't think it needs more work now

Here's my version 2



C&C, please.
