Quite proud of this one :D

Lol, after countless edits to my psd and this post I realized, my lcd monitor is making the bottom sigs look dead and colorless. :3

cons:
Truthfully, it looks like you're everyday c4d/smudge style sig with a lot of negative space and nothing to compliment it with. Your BG is over blurred too-- I can't stress this point enough-- but blurring does not equal depth. =/

It helps but simply just setting your BG on a guissan (to late to double check my spelling) blur and say you added depth is not a great mentality to have.

Pros:
compared to your last sig the over all composition and colour are loads, LOADS, better. The girl is a cutie, that's a plus also.


Anyways not that there is a problem with making daily sigs. My only qualm is when people make things half assed just dancing around the same skill level without making an effort to improve. Then simply say " Yeah, I did it quickly,". Yes, yes I know what you're going to say "... but Hostage you're just an asshole I am trying to improve..". Nope, there is a difference between saying it and actually doing it and it shows simply in the work produced. However, I've gone offtopic now....


Overall nice sig, nothing majorly wrong with it, it's just a safe sig. Which makes it boring. :(

Gah, thanks, I didn't use any c4ds or smudge :3
Tryed a different route, but I guess I reached the same destination.

I dig overblurred bgs, but I guess it doesn't work. I don't know what to do to add depth other than blur :\

And I honestly thought it was unique :3

Well!? is he? :x


EDIT:
I didn't say you did use them I was referring to the style of sig. Basically you might as well have because the outcome pretty much the same..... Also chill it with the "cutie" smiles, if my post pisses you off let me know but over "cutifying" is annoying. Besides everytime I see these " :3, =3" things....they just look like floating testicles on my monitor to me. -.-....aRGH!! I hate those smilies so much.

Yeah I know.
Eh, it didn't piss me off. It's supposed to help.
All my friends think they are balls, too. :3

And smilies are just my thing :s

I think I'ma deem this a WIP, but I don't see how I'm going to improve it if it's a generic sig.

lol, "And smilies are just my thing ". That made me giggle because in my head it turned dirty, don't ask me how I managed to make it dirty.

Anyways 2:30 am is long enough to stay up, probably gonna watch some t.v and go to sleep. My last piece of advice would be to acknowledge the texture packs out there. They'll help with breaking up that negative space and adding a sense of cohesion between your smooth BG and foreground. But you'd be better off asking Nantosh or cin on how to use them properly since they use them pretty religiously. 8)

Thanks, I'ma try it out.
I tried making the canvas smaller, but it made it look so messy.

Also, I call upon Nantosh and Cin to post in this thread! :]

That's fine. Being a good person leads to a boring life anyway.
