5/10...I just don't get it. Maybe I'm biased against the abstract but I just don't like how I can't get anything out of it.
Edit: I like the other one (the greenish one), 7/10. It's still fairly abstract, but the house in the background combined with the color scheme almost put a little shiver up my spine for some reason. In my opinion you should take out the text though, I like the image alone; if you did that I'd probably give it 8/10.

(don't rate my sig)

It's just supposed to look good(cool)...and I wanted abstract. So I'd say you are probably slightly biased against it. I'd really like an opinion on how it blends with the building. Yeah the green one's good, and I'd love to take the text off but, it's for a friend, hence the random name. Haha I've rated yours before. (I like architecture, how's the color scheme on mine? Mad because it's not some cliché blue?)

PS: Mine is supposed to give off a dark, immersive feeling...

[do_ob]

The building in your red one is hard to see. I wouldnt of seen it if i hadnt seen the green one. It kind of just looks like a blur of colors, the font could be changed to more influence a dark feeling because currently it's too.... "happy and bouncy" if you get what i mean.

i give it a 6

[Senti]

It made me lol, a little bit.

And it has your name in a very cool fashion...

It makes you at first think you're looking at just some regular image of something...

Then you see the d.... Then the o, the _, the other o, the b...

Well made :)
It's kinda boring, but I think it's rather creative.
8.5/10

[Komodovaran2]

9, pretty cool colors and a nice border.


Oh my god, people, please say you know what pixel signatures are.

My sig has 16 colors btw, including the text.

[Skathenistic]

Hence why I said it was probably the look you wanted. I just think it looks kind of bad, but for what it is, it's very good.

You couldn't notice the building? I guess that's another improvement to me made...but it's quite obvious to me. Suggestions on the name other than change it? This font any better? Hmm...the building is definitely noticable...I think you need new eyes.

[Senti]

It's noticable that there's an object there, it's just hard to tell what it is...

all I really see is the outcropping that passes from the left of your name to the bottom of the signature.

[Skathenistic]

Okay, so, I went looking for a cooler building. I couldn't get it to show up worth a damn at all, so I put it above the colors, and played around with the blend modes for a while...this was all I could get. I didn't get any of the abstract/color but it came out really nice. I think it fits me better. F5.

[Senti]

Much better :)

Text is small, but it's there, and easy to read. At least for me.

8/10, good job :)

Very nice to look at, and it's not blurred into the background so much that it's just a few lines here and there, but it's a good image.

Like it lots :P

[lilyeti]

6 outta 10 picture blends into backround and is hard to see at first look. :bang:

[Skathenistic]

Lol? Your monitor 5 years old?

[whaureb]

Got no idea what's supposed to be in that sig, and the text is bit hard to note at first.
But I like the colors and borders.

The middle text in Old English is hard to read.

The colors go well though, just seems a bit dark.

It's supposed to be a shaman head with deer antlers and mask.
It suffered when scaling down, but I'll brighten it up tomorrow then : )

Haha, never would've guessed that it was a shaman. You really don't need to brighten up the shaman itself, just brighten up the area around the text a bit. Put some blue or white brushes in there around the text (but not on the text). Too much black space. =)

Just don't overdo it. ;)

[RavenLord]

Quite nice, a fair amount of skill involved. I like the little trick with the name.

8.5/10

[Skathenistic]

Whaureb it's nice but the brushing on the right side is kind of bad and leaves much empty space. You should try for a similar effect to what's on the left. You could add some soft grunge on top of that for better lighting too. 6/10

Sin you get 8/10 it's good, it's not just pure red, the text is nice. It's nothing too special though which could even be a good thing. Maybe if you put something like a building or a render in it it'd be worth a 9/10 or so. A nice picture blended in always seems to make things look better.

RavenLord it's nice. The 3d style is cool. I just wish the stairway was blended in a bit better it seems like somebody's holding a picture up right in front of the camera lens so to speak. The moon is sort of unblended too. Overall it's very nice though. I give yours a 9. Good colors and all.

Also you guys can't tell what my picture is of? Either F5 and tell me if there's a church and if not, I'd like to know the problem...

[Fylraen]

8.7/10, slick image and nicely framed. I would make the name a tiny bit more legible, but I like it.

There are way more cooler NASA sigs out there so don't worry, they have enough support. I sorta like the font though, even though it doesn't go with the rest of the sig your name looks good in that font.

I didn't make it just so you know. Komako did.

I give it an 8 as well but I think the text is fine.

[Osirus]

nifty.

[Qwerty]

nifty.

Not the most detailed rating I've ever seen, something tells me you just wanted your sig rated :p

Well I like it, it's very black and simple. It also reminds me of the song Paint it Black by The Rolling Stones, which is good.

But I'd make the eyes more obvious, maybe bright red or something.

I give it a 6.

Aye, I agree. I'd say make the eyes white, make the face a BIT brighter and cut down on it some. It doesn't have to be quite that big. Btw Qwerty jou get a 7/10.

Much much better, now to just work on the text a bit. Just make it a bit more legible. =)

I can still see the text, but thats just because I know what your forum name is. =( I wouldn't be able to tell what it would be if I didn't know your forum name. :ninja:

It's up to you though, If you want that dark,mysterious type of sig, then leave it as it is as people try to decipher it if they don't look at your username. =)

You're basing the whole rating off text. "The text is harder to see SO 6½/10."
Nobody else has many issues reading it and I've already said I'm going to fix it. Now rate the signature disregarding the fact that your eyes are bad.

By the time I first time rated you sig, the text was different than the one you currently have, so I tought you had changed it allready, but seems like it wasn't the change you were going to do.
So, as I tought you had changed it, I rated it and gave half points less, because I found it harder to see the new text than the previous one.
Also, I cant rate it disregarding my bad sight, as I cant change my sight with anyone else, so dont know what exactly everyone else is seeing.


So, lets rate it again.
Borders are cool, there seems to be a part of gothic-style church in the pic.
But the text is hard to see at first.
~7/10 because window is all that I know for sure, what's in the pic

[Senti]

7/10

The picture is pretty cool, but the text is really hard to read, and there is no well-defined border.

So yeah. Oh- And the ghosty faces below your name ends really straight, you should try and smudge it a little bit.

[Skathenistic]

9/10 for cool render and nice flow. The background could use a bit more complexity but it doesn't matter it's really nice.

[Slypieguy]

I maed a new one!!1!
Lots of work went into it.
I had to stay at the bar til 8am before the girl came home with me :lmao:

Also, 9/10 for that guy's up there... make the text more readable imo

[Dazarthas]

8/10

Hot, but "GEO" looks kind of rough, like it was made in Paint.

I decided to use the best Calvin and Hobbes comic ever for my sig. Yeah, you'd shit your pants too if your son built a snowman herd in the middle of the road.

[Elxu]

:D quite funny 9/10

[NaZgiR]

6/10

There is a nice looking image, and there is some text. They are not merged good enough though and the text is a bit grainy.

[Arnbjorn]

Well I have to give it 7/10. I like the attempt to noise up the text in order to match it better with the background as if it belongs there. However you should have tried maybe blurring and then oversharping it or something as well as scratching it.

But the thing that bothers me is the upper border, what is its purpose? it looks a bit odd.

Also I like the attempt to lengthen the picture, something I have tried to do on a few occassions but really failed. I think you succeeded in it quite well.

( to the sig maker )

[Destinova]

Wow, that's really nice. The gold colour, the rune like text in the border, everything. Well done.

She's hot. Funny signature, sort of. 9/10 needs a border. =) The text could be a bit better too. Other than that it's pretty nice. I decided to try to make something a bit more colorful or at least vivid for once. Hehe. Uh, sig won't show?

Edit: Fixed it...

[Death's Chill]

I must say it's not bad. I'm a fan of the colors you have in there, definitely commendable...

For the above- 8.5/10, very sleek, looks nice, the 'I' in Inferno is a little bit hard to read, but the signature overall looks really nice ^.^

[Skathenistic]

Lol I forgot to say mine is very much unfinished. Death is that signature stolen?

[pronkyou2]

9/10, the dwarf clearly is ready to own faces.
7.5 Very basic, to the point, and great colour scheme. I like that.

[Skathenistic]

This still needs a lot of work before it looks right. But the main color of the signature is pretty much decided. So as far as the raw concept goes...I think I'll stick with this. If anything else, at least just the building.

[Death's Chill]

Lol I forgot to say mine is very much unfinished. Death is that signature stolen?

Not stolen, I asked permission of the guy who made it, he's here: http://chrono-logix.deviantart.com/art/Hubnester-Inferno-60794021

Now at least anyone who says deviant art sucks can go to an inferno hell, hehe.

Just because you have permission doesn't mean it's not stolen. What I'm saying is, I've seen this before. Not just once. It's somewhat...unoriginal. Very good sig though.

[Death's Chill]

The term stolen means taken without permission. I did not do that.

[Skathenistic]

Elxu dont to be rude but i give your Signature 5 ,

Yours is on the same level and made by the same person. He whores out that exact same color a lot, yours has it. It's a great color and all but, it shouldn't be used on every damn signature the way he's doing it. It is a good way to advertise yourself though, lol! Your border is a bit...meh. The render wasn't a good choice either.

[Arnbjorn]

Actually get your facts straight,

One, the color I made for Elxu was yellow with a purple text. The color for Zyrex is actually a red and blue overlay as you can notice on the sky.

(Elxu changed the color of his sig on his own)

The background has been created by me alone and is not taken from one single picture but mutiple pictures put together. And none of my sigs that I have created have same or anywhere near same color theme.

As for render nothing in the picture has been rendered except the fog.

The text is nothing more than my own creation and if you check closely its not 3d rendered.

However I do admit the lower border was not really to my liking on the left side, as for the border itself its just different to every other sig you see.

So please next time note the difference between my work and people's own alteration of it.


As for your own sig you have issues with the text. 6.5/10.

Hate to say this but I liked some of your older versions better apart from the text. However fix the text and the border, sorry, it has great potential.

All your points are valid and some of them are very obvious but, IMO the color schemes are all very similar. I think this is because of the look of the pictures more so then how they've been adjusted but it all has that gold type of look. By render I meant the wolf, it was rendered right? I saw him post a pic up. I was telling him, not you, that that wasn't a good choice. It's not of a very good quality. You should see if you can blend it in some or add some nifty effects to it. For my signature, it's quite obvious to me there's text issues. I wanted a rating on the very core concept, and only the concept. In fact, I'm working on it right now so within maybe 10+ minutes it'll be much better. Hmm...having some serious color issues.

[Arnbjorn]

Well I like the building and the theme behind it, although I dont exactly agree on the coloring. But then again as you said I have my own specific taste in colors.

I missunderstood the render word, if you mean the wolf it was out of my hand. All I could do was add a fur to him after being cropped :P

What makes me curious is that you consider color theme to be somewhat on the same level. I worked with every project individually and with completely different color settings...

The fun part is that the text was actually made white, with a slight transparent setting as well as white inner gradient without transparency.
With the red and blue overlay of the background the text itself just took this color. It was pretty much out of my hand and pure dumbstruck luck but I liked it too much to alter it. :) (forgot to mention a slightly blurred black background of the text to shape the shadow)

Just the story of the coloring. On Elxus however the color was intentional, as well as on my own.

As to help you I think fix the border first, then the text coloring will align naturally and without reading issues.

[Helgeran]

Great light and great stylish text. 8/10 because it lacks anything that stands out.

[Skathenistic]

Great light and great stylish text. 8/10 because it lacks anything that stands out.

Lol your old one owned all. With that picture of the two or three guys. It was like orangish I think and it had smoke. It was uber. So I won't even rate that.
Okay mine's fixed for the most part...cannot get any damn readable text when I add color so I just made it white for now. I think I might have to make the border a bit bigger but aside from that it's improved a lot. I might need to make the "squares" effect a bit more transparent too it's screwing with the coloring and such a bit.

[Arnbjorn]

Youre dead on I think. I like the color you have in the sig except for those parts where the squares destroy it.

As for the border if you want text in it maybe its too small, so right on that part as well.

Think the font is less serious and more cartoonish, not really matching the picture itself. Although you are aware of that yourself.

[GFH_Spike]

Colors match, unique border, text suits the content of the image and is situated in the left area for excellent contrast. Nice touch on the colors fading in and out from light to dark. +9/10

How's mine? I made it in about 4 minutes. :D

Lol! It's not very good as far as aesthetic quality goes. It's quite funny, and just enough obnoxiousness to be perfect. So, for a comical signature, I give it a 9/10. Mine is done finally! I think. For the most part I've perfected this signature. :sly:

[Marrock]

I'm giving you a 7/10 only because I'm not sure what it's suppose to be, it's a little busy for me but overall it's a nice sig.

This is my new sig, I've had my other sig for several years now and wanted something new.

The edges where the smoke is seems really cut off, I would recommend trying to have the smoke disperse before the edge of the signature.

Better than your previous skathen. Nice color choice, great looking structure plus those boarders make it look really good.

Dual color text looks bit distracting, and lower font is allso bit off. Allso those tech looking black lines and white spots/crosses are something i disslike.

8.75/10

I'd say they would if I toned the white down. There's no way in hell the other one looked better, unless you mean the one with the window. The text isn't dark at all, I don't know what you're talking about there.

[Arnbjorn]

Skathen, I think I just found out the error in your images. Its not your own doing but your monitor most likely has way too high brightness settings compared to the average community member.

Because to be honest the dark-grey text is near to impossible to read.

[Skathenistic]

Skathen, I think I just found out the error in your images. Its not your own doing but your monitor most likely has way too high brightness settings compared to the average community member.

Because to be honest the dark-grey text is near to impossible to read.

I've always figured that too, but it's like a dark tanish-brown color. My monitor's brightness is on 28, so I figure you guys just have yours way too bright or some shit. Aka, most people are stupid. Dunno though. I just think it's something else.

It's now at zero, and everything looks like shit, the coloring might actually look better, but everything besides the signature does. I can still tell that the text is brown, and also, it's still pretty easy to read...

[Arnbjorn]

Settings are individual for each monitor and brand so value says nothing tbh, doesnt necessarily have anything to do with settings but the monitor itself. For instance if you have an older version of LCD they have a less value of shine through which results in a darker screen than normal...

Other screens might have high shine through and with normal settings their screen is still brighter than average.

Its hard to compare brightness therefore best idea is to test it on several computers and after that lay judgement on others blindness :P


Anyway I got my monitor in the lower average, but I on the other hand have not complained although I see it as very dark.

Also if we had high brightness then we would see the text easier than you.

Well, it's possible that you all have those 10 year old piece of shit monitors that look uber dark and off-colored and are big as hell...I have like a 3-5 year old LCD, so...yeah. That would mean mine is darker, so I conclude. You all need new fucking eyes. Rawr! I'm more concerned about how you think the text is grey...wtf?

[Arnbjorn]

Well that is not the case as we have new monitors most of us I am certain, the point was not that old monitors have darker settings because that is not true. The point is that no monitor shows colors and brightness the same as another.

Grey or dark-brown with a grey tone is just about the same. Although it leads to another valid point, if you make a signature you accept peoples judgement of it. You might disagree with it because it looks as you intend it to look on your computer.... However if youre interested in what other people think then you follow what the majority of people think and build something for their eyes.

Signatures are not your personal art book, its a way to brag about yourself with a single picture.

[Joseff]

4/10 Looks almost as bad as the website. Try to shave off excess pixels and maybe make it look a bit more fancy in general. It's a bit small...it's kind of hard to read, which is why I compared it to the site. Other than that it's nice. If you could make the colors a bit better or something and make it easy to read it would be much nicer.

Edit: With a signature that size, I suggest you center it as well.

Too much purple...get somebody to help with that. It's captured pretty well as for the picture itself though. The text gives nice contrast although it's a bit bright and well, slightly annoying IMO. I'll give it...7/10. Potential FTW. Funny looking character.

Yeah, I have a question for you. Is my signature sort of a vivid orange/red with dark and more saturated spots in certain places? Is the text dark and white/gray or somewhat light with a brownish color? Some people seem to always have issues with my images being dark or something, but my monitor I can turn the brightness all the way down and still see it easily. It's the same on my Zune too...I don't know how many people really see what I see, and that's a problem.

As for yours, I still think you should try to reduce the flat shade of purple thing going on, and maybe fancy up the text some, though, I'm guessing you didn't really do that in Photoshop hehe. I could try if you want, but you seem content with it the way it is.

Edit: People actually rating ignore this post. Feel free to answer my question though, since that's sort of directed at everyone...

yes, I can see your sig clearly. Looks neat :P

btw, on the 'edit signature' page in the User CP, It says that I have a signature picture, but it doesn't show, only the text... any help? ^^

9/10 very good. I love that 2d shit. Especially when you have that rough cellshading, like on the thumb and palm and shiz. Very cool, artsy, creative sort of.

Hamlet you get a 8/10, right side fairly empty, looks good though. Did you draw that? If not I make it a 7/10. It's very nice either way. Maybe throw on a border or some grunge or something. I like how your name is vertical like that.

New signature for me. The contrast and such needs a bit of work, and I might screw around with the colors here and there, but the concept is, as always, going to stay the same. Rate please. Also, it makes me think of watermelons. Which is good!

I can´t help it, but in my eyes your sig is crude, and unfinshed looking. Text is bit too bland, character is nice but somehow sticks out too much (try blurring the edges just a bit) and the stylized design on as a background looks bit awkward. (plus i hate that rose) 6/10

If it's good I'll check it out. =) I really don't like this color scheme very much. It's sort of just plain blue. I need to add something. Not sure what. It's fairly complete though.

As for your signature, I like the edge effect. I'm not sure why you made your transparency like that, I think something a bit more defined would be cool, it's not bad though. I like the render and how it's rendered, I don't like the background, and I would say I don't like the bright purple text but it works well with that background. 8/10 or so. Simply because there are things I don't like. It's a pretty good signature though.

Yea. All the brushes happened to be... Gray/black. I thought that adding a gradient on it would like kinda cheesy, so I just stuck with the grayscale.

Oh, and if you check my playstyle, I'm a Priestly Thief, so the cemetery-esque background goes great with my playstyle. I expect that when I'm not stealing from folks, I'll be killing zombies and skeletons.)

Quite honestly, your sig needs more action in it. The door looks like a great start, as a background.

BTW, my sig I give about a 7/10. It's better than other 7s cause of the quote that goes with it though. 3 for a good base background, 3 for a nice colour scheme and characters to go with it, 2 for the little addition of a degree stamped to a tree, and 1 for a themed name. -1 for not being a compilation, and another -1 for being non-darkfall.

Does that give you some idea of what I'd call a good sig? I'm actually being quite generous with what I've given other people on scores, honestly. Truthfully I'd end up giving you about a 4/10 for lacking important aspects. There's no interaction with the viewer, it feels dead, etc.

Your sig seems dead, because of the colors in it.

The blue makes it feel dead, cold.

If you ask me, you should have some flashy crap in there somewhere.

Add a diagonal line pattern ( / ) thataways, put it on a 30-50% opacity, then erase the pattern where the focal point is located.

Give me a minute to find the focal point.

By the way, I just took two minutes to throw this together, let me know what you think:::

Okay, improved the color scheme to where I like it. Went for a semi-golden effect. That red just made it look a bit more warm/welcoming for me, and I really needed to get rid of the gray/green outline effect that seems to be very common when delicately manipulating colors. Well, I still have to add some effects to make it less "boring"...but, the color scheme rapes now IMO. I think I need to stop saving as JPG. Too much quality loss. Anybody have any suggestions?

Eh, the dragon doesn't really go, overall, it looks okay, I don't particularly like the border, it's a nice border, personally, I don't like it, and you chopped the legs and elbow off the guy while leaving his head exposed, which is somewhat confusing. The text is okay to read, but I think the 's' looks a little weird, with the swirls on the end.

Text blending is fine. Colours clash though, bad choice of colour scheme, and yeah, shitty border usage, etc. Change out the dragon, overused and doesn't fit the quote in the best regard.

cute, but thats it, so 6

Guess you just couldn't figure out the context, how sad...I give you a 1.

[Senti]

I'll rate both Skathen's and Tyranth's

Skathan- 9/10
Tyranth- 1/10

[Tyranth]

Guess you just couldn't figure out the context, how sad...I give you a 1.


It's not about figuring about context, I can get it well. It's just a matter of personal taste. And I don't see it to be that good. Anyway 6 is good on my rates. Don't see many sigs that makes me looking at it longer. I do agree that mine ain't best one either, but it is what it is. Meaningful to me.
So for one I thank you

[point blank]

i was told this is a good thread for getting ur sigs rated so here i am

I guess I didn't really rate it in the other thread anyway. 7/10. Take the obvious filter effect out, and it would be better. It's a bit too bright on the right side but that's just me. Okay guys, enjoy my overkillish border!

[Arnbjorn]

Interesting try on the border, it is original on this forum however you need to work on the text Camarilla. It really is inadequate for a signature like that. Aligning it better would be an improvement sorry.

It is clean which is something I really approve over your previous work however I do have to mention that it is a tad plain. To the sadness of great artists a signature has to capture the fascination of those that look at it, a lot more than it has to be a sign of perfect art.

I give it 9.5 / 10. It doesnt capture but it is done right by the book. I know you can do a lot better at capturing people's fascination. Get to it :P (hehe, actually a part of me says only fix the text)

Fix the text or I want to lower it to 8.5/10. The text and font is not helping the signature.

If you go to my website you'll see the point of the text. Besides, you were a bit too early hehe. Would you mind editing your rating as you see fit? Crap...this came out a bit bright on Forumfall. Hehe. The picture's quality was too low for me to do too much with so I couldn't just fix the text anyway.

[xauss]

2/10

because you tried... but i havnt a clue what the fuk it is supposed to be / say

[Trinexx]

↑ I dunno... 3/10 for the image; it's old and overly used.

[pronkyou2]

↑ I dunno... 3/10 for the image; it's old and overly used.
xauss used to have a much better one but scrapped it.

Yours gets:
-1 for cutting off your name. That's just plain tacky.
-2 for not using full size to the best of your capabilities
-1 for being so basic, you should be able to fit in some extras.
Overall, you only have a background and subject matter, and the colours work, although the purple tint is a bit annoying, IMO, but that's subjective.

6/10

So for one I thank you
-3 for lack of subject matter.
-2 for lack of personal touch. Anybody could use that, it's generic.
-1 for lack of any defining marks. Basically it's just too plain. The saving grace here is that you have a quote.

4/10. My ratings tend to stay near 5, so getting an 8 is like getting a full return on your taxes, 9 is like world peace, and 10 is like the Jewish god appearing in the skies overhead to tell you that you've been given the quest to find the holy fail. It just ain't gonna happen. Though I'm surprised that I got a 6 from someone not interested in my sig.

[Aranin]

5/10 pretty simple, but works well enough. i dislike the border style hoever it does kind of fit.

question is was it created or was it just slapped onto PS add a few affects and a border?

[Arnbjorn]

It is a joke, made to this guy requesting a healing signature. The problem was his desire was so hard to fulfill and he didnt seem pleased with what people made for him so I decided to help, but I crashed and burned realizing I to couldnt figure out.... How you make a healer look like a healer, in a signature?

Anyway to make a long story short, this signature was made to meet his requirements and desires. It's simple because it is supposed to be simple, not some flashy design thing. Simple design bringing out a simple message.

Putting in details would lessen the purpose and the joke of it.

[Nehemia]

9/10 Just love that signature, and well. It somehow reminds me of TES;MW:Bloodmoon.. The runes at border are pure awesomeness, and the sig fits with your clan.

[Mandriane]

someone get me a sig!

[Arnbjorn]

This is the wrong thread to request a signature.

[Senti]

Arnbjorn-
9/10

I think it looks great. Everything.

[Aranin]

5/10 seems a little to cluttered for my liking.

[Nehemia]

5/10 seems a little to cluttered for my liking.

9,5/10. Its well, cool looking, sinister enough. The only minus is that bunny that wants to be a badass.

[Scully]

9.5

Easy and cool

edit: oh yeah my sig won't show for some reason. gonna try to fix it
edit2: why the hell won't it work? I can see it on options but not under here..

[Senti]

Aranin- Yea, I'm working on it, it was better when it was larger, but I resized it, and, personally, I don't like it all that much anyways. I'll make a new one eventually.

[Aranin]

hehe yeh i never resize my sigs just make new ones..prob why i have about 500 still on my computer from requests/my own lol.

resizing sigs very rarely results in a desired outcome heh.

[Helgeran]

Awesome picture 10/10 because I'm not some PS whore to whine at the frame and dropshadows and whatever.

[Aranin]

you've had that sig a very long time helgeren hehe i think i've rated it a dozen times, however i prefered your old version with a different font.
5/10.

if u guys dont mind i'd like to have this one rated, i was trying somehting new not typical of my 'grungish' style.

attempt is to make it look a bit like a colour sketch on paper/parchment.
was bored and fiddling around.

feedback and criticism is appreciated on this one, as always.

thanks guys.

[Rotten_Pieces]

Aranin, your alive!!

10/10 as always


ps. I need a sig :D

[Aranin]

yarr - yeah hadnt checked the DFO boards for a long time, and i only check the art and OT boards anyway lol.

thougth i'd come back and start making some sigs in the request thread or w/e if i get bored.

and as for a sig - we'll see, maybe if your a good little forum whore:p

[Aranin]

rate this one if possible. not sure about it heh - thanks.

Interesting border stile, overall a bit too dark esp. in the lower half, text not very readable because of the former, difficult to spot a theme in that one.


http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/4091/sketchsigtestcolourns8.jpg (http://imageshack.us)


Nice borders, good use of a small amount of colors, text still good readable, gets a theme across.


http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/9052/exanimo1copyxi7.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

An EvE sig? =)
Easy to read, has the appropriate "Industrial Corp" feel.
Somehow it feels like something is missing in the lower 30% esp. on the right side.

[Scully]

My sig wouldn't show up. And I can't delete or edit my post so I'll post again. :) It's not done yet btw

[Senti]

(QUOTE=Aranin)rate this one if possible. not sure about it heh - thanks.

I think that one looks pretty good.

It has a cool feel to it, and I like how it blends with the forum with the edge.

Anyone like my zig?http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c235/dliquidx/darkfallzig.gif

No.

It´s basicaly composed of different cut-outs, wich have different color schemes, and finished with plain text, wich is pain in the ass to read since it mixes with background mess at some parts.

It´s plain ugly imo. 1/10, even that 1 is good will from my part.

Well for my first zig ever in my whole entire life i think i did a good job, what do u recommend in doing to fix it? that would have been a better reply to your very negative tone here. First time using a program like this as well.
I don't know say using fireworks wich is the only program at my disposal.... hints, and whatnot.....
And..What do yu mean different color schemes? theres only one color scheme in the background the rest are cut outs yes, just like yours is, but they have no background, so technically they have the same background color scheme? what do you mean?... I don't know how to do funky cool letters or alphabet yet but your letter seem to be harder to read than mine are... then again they look cooler than mine..i would have shaded thor in a little bit to look farther back, but dont know how to do that yet..
How would rate this as a beginner? Would have been a better question.....

[Arnbjorn]

Forgive the wolves.

What they should have told you is to take a look at the detail level of the different cutouts. As you see quite clearly your signature consists of a lot of photos that dont quite match at all when it comes to detail level.


The attempt of adding 2 cutouts of different quality will lead to a look that is very much undesired. Try find pictures of same quality and detail.

Before you start building your signature try decide a theme and a scenario. Try not build something that is a mix of different scenarios.
I will go deeper into detail, the dwarf hammer emblem on the left is good as an emblem but then it should somehow be set apart from the background, perhaps black border or shadow.


Now take a look at the text, the color is almost identical to that of Thors cape which will make it unreadable. Also the font has to be set aside from the image behind it to make it readable.


For being your first signature in a program you really cant control its actually good. Nicely cutout pictures for being a first timer.

First time: 5/10 (this is good grade)

[FrostByte]

Blah, blah ,blah

Let´s try this once again then, shall we.

Color schemes.
As you see you have comic cutout of thor from propably a marvel comic, and then you have art cutout of viking.
Comic cutout has brigth, clean, and overall not very natural looking colours with simple and highly contrasting shadows. Then you have viking character with earthy, natural looking, and dimm colours with soft shadings and overall more realistic look.
those two make it look awkward.
Background is allso brigth and has pretty simple colours, so it could´ve worked with thor only, but that viking figths against the thing too much.
Mixing contrasting colours (brigth red and brigth blue for instance) isn´t usually a wise thing to do. It give cartoony looks, wich sometimes is the goal though, but generally it hurts eyes

Text effects.
They don´t need to be that flashy etc. Barely suitable font and simple stroke effect (giving your letters a narrow border of different colour) can make wonders.
What comes to text colour, you should allways try to pick one that doesn´t mix with background or differ from it too much. If you add stroke effect or other similiar effects, your text can be allmost same as background since effects make it stand apart. Allso try to avoid putting text in highly detailed areas, as it will look part of details and seems hard to read.
You migth allso want to try out different text locations and combinations. Sometimes text placement can be pretty crucial for working sig.

Balance.
Didn´t mention this earlier but here we go. You have all your things basically stuffed at the rigth portion of sig, all the characters are allso relatively large scaled aka. they don´t fit in fully, while your emblem is small sized and it´s allso practicaly only thing on the left side.
This makes your sig look unbalanced. Good example of balance is Aranins centralized character, or Dronjaks sig with character on far left and anme plus clan affiliation on rigth, middle occupied by background caharacter(use member search to find their sigs).
But don´t get stuck with whole thing, somtimes intentional "hole" or tip in balance can make wonders (like in Nehemias sig, eventhough sompeople consider it horribly off-balance).

Boarders.
Boarders are generaly sig savers. Sometimes sig can look horrible, but with good border it turns in to fantastic job. Border can be something as simple as 1px wide black border, faded edges, black bars (like mine) etc. Or it can be highly decorative and detailed creation. Sometimes boarders don´t fit though, but it´s rare occasion.

Cutting.
From the looks of it you used eraser tool to do the job, rigth? It´s good and basic way of doing it, slow and subject to errors, but still good. Try if your program has any other means of cutting things, they migth be better. For example, adobe photoshop has pen tool, wich is harder at first, but better once you get to know it.
Just as a tip, if you blur the edges of cutouts, it gives them more blended and cleaner look.

All that and what Arnbjorn said, and you should get better results. I don´t know the program you are using, but generally everything said above can be produced with paint...allmost, so give it a shot and consider what has been said here in your next work.

And no, i´m not rating your sig as a beginners work, i´ve never done that for anyone, not even for myself. I will consider anyone, was it a professional artist or total beginners, as a same when he publishes his work.

ps. spelling errors that migth be there come from tiredness, it´s 4:30 pm here.

pps. don´t call signatures Zigs, it drops just about anyones respect towards you.

Doesn't sound like such a bad thing...

:p

[FrostByte]

I have both.

Rodriguez, you have pretty good sig.
Add boarder of somekind and make text more visible (and add something to teh top portion of the sig) and it would be great.
6/10

[Rodriguez]

I have both.
Now it gets creepy....



make text more visible

Thanks, will try it out :)

Got any tips how I can make the text more visible? As it runs trough dark and brighter places of the picture I struggled a bit with that. I probably could make it larger but wouldn't that take away from the picture itself?

[Aranin]

try using a stroke on that sig otherwas in sig's that have a background not just pure black you can try alot of different effects. however having the black background limits u. try a black stroke on the text, set on 1 or 2.

[lil_eddie]

Im not here to get my sig rated as it was just knocked up so i HAD one. Im here to comment on the better signatures, Aranin's is nice (one thing i suck at is blending pieces together as you can see)
And i do love how neat and clean Arnbjorn's is. But is that a stolen image edited in the background, with a brushed border?

either way, mine is well, minimal and was just messing about on photoshop :(


My all-forum favourite banner has to be the Drunken Beggar ones

edit - nm

sig not visible.

its not from wow lol, wow sucks cock.

[Senti]

Aranin- 9/10

It's great all around, but the border is bland for the rest of the signature. I can see you not wanting to take away from the rest of the signature, but it's still bland compared to the vibrancy(?) in the rest of the signature.

[theneonorder]

MIne!

[Senti]

0/10 for asking for a rating.

1/10 for the actual 'signature'.

first off, it's more of an avatar. It's just text with some effects. The effects don't even go together.

It's basically a bunch of text thrown together with some effects.

[lil_eddie]

Here we go.. My temporary sig.. :(
8/10 for senti's, tidy, although the background looks a tiny bit pixelated, or my eyes are lying :\

On my screen, my background doesn't look pixely. But whatever :D

I like yours, it's comical, and it's like a visa commercial. But, a border would help.

It's very simple, which I like...

Soooo.. 7/10.
