Hello, i've finally got around to making this thread
and showing off my oh so lame graphic skills~!
You can give criticism, but i do already know my sigs are lame.
Teehee~
My negitive attitude rules~
I'm just kidding with you, I'm actually still a beginner in sig making~
So let's get on with the show!
sweeeet.gif


Umm, these are all basically oldish sigs of mine~
I haven't got around to do anything new.
Also, I'm going to put them all in a collapse tag,
Because there are quite a few.




Old stuff~

I really like the last one Hollie, its simple but something about it catches my eye. I think, in terms of stock images in your pieces, you should try to blend them more. The character is just another tool in the piece for you to convey whatever you'd like, so you can change their opacity, give them a layer mask or gradient map, even erase parts of them to blend the sig together as a whole.

While its important to have a subject, how you use them is more important, in my opinion. Still, the first sig and last one are my favorites. I'd love to see more of what you can do. :3

I love it, love it, love it! sweeeet.gif

It's so simple it's beautiful! ;o;

The only thing that takes away from it is the avatar, in my opinion. You selected a very blurry and hard-to-distinguish part from the original picture. And sometimes the avatar is the most difficult part to decide when you're taking it from a very simple picture.

I would suggest possibly resizing the original picture to be a bit smaller so you can get in more of it and then re-doing the avatar. =3

I don't know how to re-size using paint.. xD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is an old sig i did.. i forgot i actually did this..


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Update.
Just random sigs i did in paint.. Nothing good at all~ erwhat.gif





And this one i did.. because I'm so freaking obsessed with the pokemon Alakazam for some unknown reason. xD




Edit:

Another pokemon sig.. but this time of Growlithe.. My favourite pokemon since the first game ever came out.. and when i first saw it in the animated series..

Gosh... <3




ANOTHER EDIT:

I got photoshop back! and so i made these two sigs.. yes the pictures are the ones i used above. x3
they were for practise really.. nothing special. =3

I was trying to aim to some type of psychic attack thing.. do you get what i mean? xD

V2 no text FTW!
Just get rid of the lower-opacity double in the bg and make the image smaller.

Since I don't know much about graphics but, I do know good art. And all of those posted so far have redeeming qualities to them.

Meaning...I love them all. Especially in the first set you posted the black and white heart design. Actually it's the very first one. sweeeet.gif

Very nice.
