Although your skills are obviously improving, I still think, from looking at other people's work, that you still need to combine all of your skills. For displaying one skill at a time, you are doing an excellent job, from vector shapes to 3D polies, it is looking good. I would, however, like to see more work like your Half Life 2, where you have obviously put a lot of effort into it.

Also, the save quality of your images is not that good. Although this isn't a direct problem, the quality of the JPG looks to be about 50 or 40 because of he blurred pixels.

yeah the save quality is really cap on some of my sigs....but i realize that but just didnt feel like fixing the problem on those specific sigs some of them i did...some i didnt...depends whether i was lazy or not

Nice sigs there ebbinger, for the cs sig i think you should blend in the text for the counter strike a bit more and maybe try some other text effects, a bit of brushing wouldnt hurt either and even though you are using background pics maybe manipulate them by duplicating them and adding overlay blend modes or soft light , darken is a good 1 to give a cartoon or dreamy effect. The car sig is nice also work on the text blending and i agree with the others about lens flares maybe a shine of the bonnet or something but where it is now is spoiling the car.

Keep it Up

i really like the counterstrike sig better than the shelby.. both are really nice but the counter strike one is better in my opinion

the background goes will with the text and logo, and it really fits the game, plus i like the blue haha.

the shelby sig is good also, but something about it seems off... maybe adding a real dramatic shadow to the car across the floor would make it better. i think thats the only thing buggin me is that the car looks like its just floating in space.. i dunno i just got outta my art class and thats all my teacher keeps yellin at us for so maybe im just losing it haha..

both are good though

ok guys...i have read your replies and i have listened....here is what i came up with the image size is longer and not as tall...i compressed them down more...they are a woppin 124kb anymore...these two i believe are around 20-40kb so yeah...i kept it simple yet added some of my style (stile - layer blending)
hope you like...

this is a my chemical romance sig


this is an audioslave sig...i had some issues with it...i came up with two...slitely different ones...tell me which is better and why...



i hope you guys enjoy these new sigs as much as i do...thanks for all of your comments so far i appreciate them very much

Heheh ok now i think you have gone in totaly the other directions and these are more of a banner than a sig i think you should stick to the max size atleast that is used in a sig contest which is 450x150 and more than that and its really becoming a banner and dont go below 175x75 otherwise then its going into link banner size,,,so anyting in that range is cool, as for the sigs im really digging the first audioslave sig the blending option in the second one just doesnt work for me and the eagle looks great in the first...and dont forget your borders.

thanks yeah i know...i didnt feel like putting borders on these...at least not yet...and i noticed they were more banners than sigs...but you guys wanted them longer and not as tall ... lol yeah i will stick to the 450 x 150...those are 645 x 75 and i usually make mine 425 x 125 and those are within that range...and you guys complained ! ... lol idk...i just wanted the sigs rated on their design quality and not their size...i was just sorta messin around...

thanks again for all the comments

(go astahost - t3 baby lightning speed...im luvin it)

here is one brand new sig....(sig not banner) and the audioslave and mcr banner with the borders

the sig i did two days ago and took me about five hours...because i had to find a pic with the apc logo (two half circles) so that i could pen them and make my own from that image...then i had a lot of layer blendings on this sig as well...







thanks again for all the comments

I really like the My chemical Romance now. The blood splatter is awesome, you'll have to share that technique with us sometime.

I actually prefer you original (second) AudioSlave signature. It looked a little more fluent than the light counter part.

If you need or want any help on making signatures, then I suggest you check out the design forums of Trap17, they are very talented there (especially Saint_Michael, who makes appearences here).

hey...any requests on tut's ? i will do whatever sigs you want...just let me know and ill type it up for yea's
