I agree. Try using a color that contrasts the background to make the text clearer.

[Urei]

@JRendell Looks nice although a bit empty. The background leafs blend in with the rest of the signature and thus are very easy to miss.
@CMHerrera Ver.2 since the color of the border blends in with the color scheme way better
@GuiBleh I like it Butterflies are great. I'd work on the font a little bit though. It does not feel right considering the rest of the signature.
@Namiey Great idea, although I think it really needs a little bit of AA on the borders
@milan kyuubi Nice, but I think you should add a little bit of color variety. The signature features a lot of details and all of them have very similar color range, making it a bit difficult for the viewer to pick out the most important parts.


Also, thank you for all your C&C, helped a lot

So far, Urei's and JRendell's entries are my favourites, I'd definetely vote for them.

@Namiey, I don't really like the fact that the edges are jagged and the render looks kind of blurry and there's no depth. Other than that, everything be good, just a little bit of extra work should fine ^^

@milan kyuubi, there's too much yellow in it, even like that the render doesn't seem to blend in, and that quote, I'm not so sure. I believe text should be closer to the main focus so it doesn't distract.

@ganbaru, it looks too faded and very bright, I believe you should burn some shadows on it. Nice idea tho ^^.

@GuiBleh, besides what other people said about blending, I feel that the colors are a tad oversaturated, but that might be just my picky eye xD good work all in all. It looks cute xD

My second draft, C & C please *puppy face*

[GuiBleh]

Some changes, C&C

Spoiler for Previous:

[Hooves]

GuiBleh: Love how she blends in more to the background but other then that, I cant see anything wrong (well thats just me again )

[Raildex]

C&C.

[Hooves]

RGC Railgun: Just my personal opinion, but Rena's (I assume its Rena) dress really does stand out in the signature (I just think the color stands out)

yeah, its rena.
Is standing out a good or bad thing? I really don't know.

In my opinion, its sorta a bad thing, for great effects, it would be great to blend the character and the background perfectly, but thats just my opinion, and I'm an avatar maker, not a signature maker Just wait for other signature maker's opinions.

[GuiBleh]

RGC Great skills But I agree with Hooves.

[JuJuBeez]

Mittwoch Cool siggy I swear I seen that (maybe the stock) somewhere but I cannot recall where @__@ But anyways, I think maybe make the stroke paths an orangy color instead of a peachy pink color? A more "autumnish" color, not saying that what it is now isn't
RGC I think your sig looks kind of cool, just the head and hair looks flat compared to the rest - not sure if that's intentional but maybe make the head stand out just as much as the dress? I dunno :x

[Raildex]

thanks guys
@ JuJuBeez- yeah it was intentional, but ill fix that.

[Hooves]

CMHerrera: Oh you went with Version 2's border (I like the image CM )

[Namiey]

c&c?

Over the 50,000 byte limit...might want to change your current sig.

Actually I see a few members are over the limit in this thread and not just talking about entries...

Well, you might have seen in it in my thread as a manipulation. Besides the original plain photograph of the girl, which was indeed a stock and you can find it here ^^ :

Spoiler for stock:

I did all the work on making her autumnish. Yes, you are right tho, it is a bit peachy but I did not want them to distract from the main focus. Unfortunately because of the height limit I could not show more of her leaves crown, and making the picture even smaller would decrease the visibility of the details . Thank you for the critique, it's very much appreciated ^^.

@Namiey, yes, it looks much better now. Good job on it xD


Sorry if I had offended anybody with my advice, I'm just trying to be helpful :-s.

The size limit can be really tricky to catch

[ganbaru]

@ Namiey, ver2 look better even if it's fake transparency
@ RGC Railgun The colors of the render don't really fir with the rest of the sig, may I suggest to use gradiant map or photo filter over the render
@ Mittwoch, I would suggest you to show more of the leaf on her head
@ GuiBleh now you should blend the butterfly near the center of the sig.
