I'm just so proud of this signature.
It took me about 1.5 hours to make, and I made it with my own photograph of snow I took back in Switzerland. I spent a lot of time on the ball in the picture, getting it right, making it see through, and making sure it actually does look like you're looking into a crystal ball...

It would have been nicer if it was just a ball of glass IMO
and the text in the shadow with glowing effect kinda bites too
the picture you took yourself is really nice :)

i do like the concept of the whole thing and how you put your name but the ball is to filled to be "seethrough" and what is with the pure white dot in the earth... feathers dude, feathers...
what could have helped i think is if the ball was sitting in the snow a little instead of on top. its supposed to have some weight to it so it should naturally be resessed a little. and sorry to say cause you spent so much time on it but i think the orb is a little too small to fit all that stuff in it. makes it kinda hard to see. i love the idea but i think zooming in on the orb would make all the difference. also real quick...crystal balls are more opaque near the edges due to the angle of vision. you have your edges way too transparent which makes it lose that orb feeling.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll remember your criticism next time I make one of these. The problem with getting the ball to sit in is finding where.... xD I mean, it somehow didn't want to find a spot, and - ah well, I'll try harder next time ^^
