Yet another sig

[Studhorse]

ok, being able to see it now that I'm home, I have to say that I like it.
It's not cluttered, it's pretty smooth.
Effects are nice and I think the render is blended in enough.
Text could use work though, not sure if that blue color is working.

it's a little long, which creates alot of space on the left hand side there, you maybe you could crop that some.

Maybe sharpening the focal some would help too.

not bad though.

Wow thanks for the comment, I can actually do something with this!
I wasn't all that sure about the blue text either but since people told me my texts dont stand out enough I thought 'the Hell, let's just give it a try.
Hmm the way you put I can see where you're going with that 'too much size' thingy.
I might just cut off a few pixels (was thinking of sixty-ish)
That'll probably ruin the vocal point's positioning though.
Oh well I'll see.
Hang on while I give it a go (:

OK... straightforward. well, I like the sig overall. It doesn't seem short to me, though that's a preference. I like the effects on the left side, though the right side seems a bit odd as the only primary effect there is that circle which is a bit grainy tbh and seems as if you just slapped that there. As for depth, it has good depth, though only on the left side imo. The right side is screwed up because the character next to naruto (im forgetting her name) is supposed to be in the forground, or so it seems imo, it seems weird that you would have an effect there that is blurred enough to seem like its WAAAY in the bg. THAT IS JUST MY OPINION. Effects on a forground character in a multiple character sig should go in the forground, imo, whereas effects on a background character should go in the bg.

The lighting is nice, and I definitly like the cropped v2 more. Imo the entire sig is nice, just a little awkward on the right side and grainy/lq all around.

My bad, I will remember not to C&C your work anymore, Someone that refuses change isn't worth the time to explain to. And yea I did mean "Aren't"

although i do agree with what everything or mostly what all the people said, i can see severall issues with your sig.

starting off is the text color and form as stated before doesn't math the theme and color scheme. it feels completely out of place and errant into position to the signature, as said before your text takes away from the focal point, as for doing nice looking text the whole point of the signature is the work done over the render not the text itself learning what color, form and type of text comes naturally when u get more basics down, for position size font type color etc, papa's text tutorial could help you in that area, as for some advices from me it all depends on the feeling and theme of the sig without a clear theme and flow going on the sig its pretty hard to deviate from a point in common, remember text can kill or make a sig , so in that area you failed to do and deliver.

as for the whole effects that is a matter of taste depening on the type of sig is oke to use more or less but everything with subtlety and not overshaping the forms, i like the erosion effect you have going on with your left side, as for depth and as mentioned before its a feeling of place foregroudn background, having a sig be composed as to feel like its a natural enviorment in which the focal is.. this meaning in a sense real, which enhances the feeling and power of a sig, little dpeth makes it easy to spot mistakes and effects used seperatedly and breaks the illusion for which effects are used for.

you started off ok and deviated too soemthing idk well how to describe, probably coming from the lightning effects. What do i mean with these your attempt at lightning is ok on the left side and on the right side its a mess i know what you tried to do but adding the text over it breaks the effect and seems liek just a spotlight which doesnt feel lik it could be giving out the lightning of her hair.

as for blending it needs a bit more i can see the borders from the render an in one sitnace below the girls hair it seems a bit choppy soy try working on blendin in your sigs more


as for the attitude and all that was said i guess it might get you angry and all the CnC are not covered in coat and candy and some of the members might not be as nice as others,

as i do agree people need to do better CnC's as to which areas to improve its their opinion as you said and they are entitled to it, but snapping back as you did well didnt show much more cortesy from yourself, and wether you agree or not.

and as you referred to others work and you not being under the norm well of course skill wise you are not under the level of allot of people here, but skill wise and i mean this as in program knowledge basics, it can only take you so far, you have to take into account composition, color, complementary shapes themes everything that sometimes as dull as it seems as hobby like as it seems there are rules and maybe knowing them couldnt hurt you all that bad.

as for it not beign a profession no of course sig making is not a profession and you cannot make a living out of it but i do take offense, when people liek you disregard it so easily (specially me im a student of grapic design) its not just sig making i do sig for hobby but graphics is a whole world and yes it is a profession and yes i make a living out of it. Why do i make a point out of it when i normally wouldn't, is just the lack of respect and attitude you showed when replying to other members, whatever they are telling you work on wether they tell how you do it or not are clearly issues you would liek to adress and work on, if simple you do not want to hear any of these type of criticism make a note on yor post and you will get what you want.

so in generall and closing up i think the sig is ok its solid skill wise but needs allot of work and tweaking up to be good, use ratchet's dameons or papa's tutorials to learn a trick or two and you'll get there in some time.
