This is my best sig by far, i think at least....i spent alot of time on this sig and got $10 for it, this is the first sig i got paid for making so im pretty happy about it, i was originally going to use a render of link (from zelda) but i felt the green just didnt look good so i found this guy from half life

this is a sig i made for reaver (in my last thread) i dunno what i was thinking here, i dont like it..its a bit to grungy for me but ya, plus i cant really read the "survival of the strongest" text i think i should have chosen a better text or enlarged it a bit...

this was one of my contest sigs, for an anime theme, i got second but i was kinda happy with the out come of this sig i spend probably about 15 minutes on this and it was black and white untill the very end where i chose a colour at random and it looked good i tried this colour first, then checked out red, blue and green but this is what i believed to look the best

another contest sig, unforchunetly the opponent never submitted so i won by default any ways this was a weird render i had to use and it took me a while to get it ready but i finished the sig in just under an hour and im not to happy with how the clouds apeared.... its kinda looks stupid to me

ya i know, the first thing you notice is the "rippers beware" well this is once of my sigs that i release the .psd so i just left that layer there to warn people you know...but ya this is definetly my worst sig in my opinion, the colours are way to strong and the render is almost invisible behind all the saturation, not my best work...

this was a banner template i made, not overly happy with it....this was my first attempt at stars which turned out alright i guess but the banner it self was not as good as my blue indigo one

these are "sig buddies" (as i call them) i made for agerage forum they will probably be entered in a contest within the next few days but for now im happy with them

this is my first verticle sig, it was really differnt and a nice change from all the horizontal ones but it was just over all difficult to make and i couldnt figuer out how to blend the names so i just but the blue things on the top and bottem and type on them....

i kinda like this one, it has a nice grunge effect and the reflection on the car is definetly better then some of my most recent reflection work, i think the seats of the car could have blended a bit more but over all i think its a fairly good sig

now, i dont know what made this sig so difficult for me but it was really hard, i spent all day doing stuff to it because i thought it just looked bad, i changed the render at least 6 times and the colour just doesnt agree with me, but the customer was happy so i guess it all worked out...

not one of my best sigs, i think it resembles Arains sig to much but ya thats about it hmmm and i think i made the stars a bit to obvious for my liking and the name is a bit to blury too which was not in my best intrest

 

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png https://g''>https://g' alt='Posted Image' class='bbc_img' />

ach definetly a bad banner, i hate it! i dont know what i was thinking when i used the bad english but again, as long as the customer liked it, it was okay...

 

so thats just some of my recent work, please rate all of them outta 10 and give some posative and negative comments, thanks alot

Wow, those look great! I like the Reaver sig especially. What do you use to make them (Photoshop?), and how long does it take you to do each one?

[plot 0]

yup, i do all my work in photoshop cs2, and the sigs take me on average 20-30 minutes

First the wallpapers and now the signatures man. Great going.The one I liked the most were Half-Life and MASTERZ.I loved that abstract background used in both and the way the images have been blend together.The text is not very clear in REAVER, otherwise it is also quite good.Overall I would give 9/10 for your work.You are becoming a photoshop GURU man, please post some tutorials also. I would love to learn from you.Looking forward to see more of youSpeedy

Yea good work on all of them but as you asked for here is some criticism,on the half life sig i would suggest putting gordon behind the banner because its really not a pop out sig and so thats why u have a banner otherwise it just looks like gordon has been paced on a sig and is not part of it becos it wont make sense for the light to shine on him if he was in the foreground and i noticed you put your name in the light flare but this is distracting and takes away from wat can be a great effect maybe move it to a corner.For the Reaver one i suggest changing the subtext from the white colour to one used in the sig so it blends in and if you cant read it properly you dont have to change it maybe try a strke on it or a glow an if those dont work then try other fonts i generally use only pixel fonts for my subtext cos they are easy to read. and maybe slap a border on it maybe even a simple 1 px black border just to give it the definitionYou did a good job on the anime sig nice work but maybe a different font choice for your alias And just for the car maybe you shud have chosen a different brush because it doesnt do much for the car just makes it look "dirty"Hope that helps
