Add in another color, probably. And a different array of brushes.

Valkyra - Much better although it was pretty dam good to start off with in the first place. Theres a masking tut in my sig - That'll tell you everything you need to know.

Keep working on that background Deathwing and deema, you could even get away with that background as it is (depending on what else you put it) or you could use another very large semi-transparent render (face/eyes seem to work well for that), or yes, the obvious answer is more brushes.

deema, try using different layer styles or something.

No.1 - the font. Completely outtaplace. No.2 the color - tad on the radio active side. Check my sig tut for a way to do TWO colors even (optional), but don't overdo it.

I was planning on just telling you, but I had a thought: If I just tell you what they are I would need a really long post, or a really breif explanation. I also alway wanted to try one of those really big .jpg tutorials. So I did.



I've always liked the big .jgp tutorials because you can save them to your hard drive and open them in photoshop along with whatever you are working on.

EDIT: changed from a link to an image for my sig.

EDIT 2: This is going to be my Tutorial post, so I'm editing in all my other tutorials.

I've made a signature with  Kawasumi Mai from Kanon 2006. rather small, but I thought I should try the whole small sig thing.

Hardly, it's the same set of brushes not the same brush. There's a difference.

Usually my regular sigs are around 510x170 and that's pretty big, so doing 420x140 was pretty small compared to my usual.

All the brushes look the same on DeviantArt so I can't do anything about it.
So I fixed it and thanks for the help, DB! It was even pretty obvious to me that I was using a monotonous sig background.

Much better siggy SH Archaeologist.  It looks really neat.

It's not bad, but add spoiler tags, and only post a link to it.

It seems a little too dark.

Not bad for your first try.

It can be a lot better, but its good for your first one. Here is my fist one, rofl, the render is from an episode (217 i believe)

*slight spoiler* http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/ … fy_sig.jpg
Then i editited it to this http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/ … y_sig2.jpg
Then finally this http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c375/ … y_sig4.jpg

Don't worry you'll get how to make great sigs, just look how much better i have gotten.  BTW you should compete in the sig contetest.

Okay... here's my second try at a sig... be gentle

redone on the next page.
I think it looks neat...
