ok here it is

Ooh, Very nice! How long have you been designing for?

well i ahve been at this forum a week and designing for about 4 weeks

Hmmm, its not that good in my eyes. The background is so plain, and the render is just sitting on top, try some multi coloring. Add me on msn, Trexic@hotmail.com and i can get you some good tuts.

ok and my msn is whiteboikyle@hotmail.com

Right, the background has nothing to do with the subject. Theyre completely different things, the background being just monotone colored brushing the subject being a dude with a scythe. The text doesn't fit. If (and this is hypothetical because I wouldnt suggest doing what you did) you were going to put the text on the scythe, make it curve with the blade. Finally, that is one huge sig. Popout sigs are horrible (for the same reason as using multiple sigs). People don't want to have to scroll super far just because you have a huge (or multiple) signature/s.

ok.... i see. so u dont like my sig what so ever...

tell me what 1 is better

It's unbelievably plain and I dont like the text, plus it needs and border, and your name needs to stand out more.

I'll tell you what's bad with that sig...
first rule when doing a popup sig...u dont want to popup more than half of render else looks n00bish :/

bg is too plain no contrast at all...and render is just stamped there as someone else said...

2/10 that's my thoughts

can u guys list some brushes for me to use??

Default brushes that come with photoshop ;)

Firstly, the part where the render is on top of the signature, we can see through it. Secondly (most importantly) I suggest that you make the background an ambience or an environment for the render to exist in. Look at the signature for a second and ask yourself if it looks like the character is in the background or if its just sitting on top. The background or scene doesn't have to be a landscape, a building or anything concrete, it merely requires depth and allows the character to subsist within it, if that makes sense.

Dont take what I say as an insult or I'm trying to rip on your work (reading from your reaction after my first comment). I'm simply trying to help you understand how to create a smooth, flowing piece (even though I dont consider signatures real pieces) that accents the subject yet doesn't completely drown out the background; a piece in which the components work with each other rather than conflict.

so u think i should use the default brushes that come with ps 7 for this?

Sorry, but TOOOOOO plain, it's just not working for me...

its cool... i made another sig but not pop-out

Anyone gonna give me feedback??

animation sig is pretty cool except the Bg is kinda plain.

the pop-out sig is not all that great.

your current one is deffinently the best
