Totally new

Try blending the render.. The outlines are clearly visible.. Don't brush over the render too.. I'd suggest a few curves layer for depth.. Text still needs work..

Improving tho.

First off, thank you very much for coming back time after time and checking this out. Your opinions and comments are helpping, I HOPE to make me better and better. :)

Ok here they are... ;)

and my current...

I have to admit... I am a little lost on the text. Not sure what really to go with on text. I feel it should be either one extreme or another... SUPER LARGE or itty bitty.

One thing I haven't seen yet is anything about luminosity. That would be the only thing I would want to do to make the text pop a little more would be to add some light behind it. What do you guys think?

Simple text works best most of the time (unless you're really good with text)..

It looks much better now.. But I don't think the chinese font fits..

Well you've improved alot since that blue one you posted. Your current is pretty good, practice blending your renders and text is something that drives everybody crazy so don't feel so bad. Also I would reccomend losing that kanji symbol it doesn't fit well at all, or at least remove that white glow and try to make it blend a bit more. All in all, it's a big step forward for you just keep practicing.

Word. Your current is pretty nice. But the text kills it. Like Lumix said, you should go for a simple text (try to blend in a small Times New Roman for example) and that ****ing symbol sucks :P lol. nah gotta agree with heron about the kanji. Also the right side of bg looks weird (not enough colour there like in the left side) and also try giving a more dreamy/smooth effect to your sig by applying the image to a layer and copying the whole sig twice putting the middle layer to lighten or screen and the upper to soft light or overlay then gaussian blur on one of them or both and play with opacity dunno if you'll understand what i mean but oh well ;p
good luck.

LOL... Ok I will nix the Fogee... LOL... It's just a principal of who I am. It is the symbol for Fire, upside down. :) Because it takes perfect control to burn a flame upside down, that is the ideal of my life. I know sounds corny... But hey, it's me. :)

Off, to remove Fogee, and to work on simplifying the text.... I will see if I can get that damn render to blend a bit better. LOL..

You guys... Thanks... As I guess you can see I am LEARNING a TON. :D

Let see if I got this right PIMP...

I have done the multi layers like you suggested and it did pull out some depth and some brightness to it... Don't know it if got the dreamyness to it that you where expecting.

I also killed the kanji. :)

Hm. I think I like the new version better ;) Now try fixing the right part of the background and make your text some smaller.

You could also try to press ctrl+U when in the middle layer when doing that 3 layer thing i described earlier and put saturation to 0(make this layer black/white), sometimes it gives a cool colour/effect to your sig ;)

Here it is... I hope the final. :D

heheh... I get thumbs on this one, and I will make it my sig. LOL

Yeh I like it better now but the text still needs some work >.<
