I suggest you make the characters more transparent with the backgrounds so it won't look like you just paste them on top of the backgrounds.

Sig #5 is your best one.

Dat Suguha render in the first one.... HNNGGG.

Anyways, I'm no expert at making sigs, all mines are pretty average or bland, so you needn't take me seriously but I'm still probably going to be a bit blunt. They all seem the same, that being, copy and pasted a render with some background with text inserted. The renders don't go with the choice of colors nor blend in with the background. Not sure if those are C4D's, random brushes or the actual background but it's all pretty random.

I would recommend you avoid using multiple characters in a single image until you can manage working with one to begin with, especially if they're the exact same renders unmodified. Some of the renders themselves are noticebly out of place, such as edgy outline and white dots from the rendering. Can use some effects or tools to fix that.

Not sure what program you're using but try to play around with effects, check out some tutorials if you need to and mix and match what you learn from them.

You have potential.

I suggest that you look for some places to download some custom brushes and C4D renders. Look at some tutorials on how to use masks, filters, the pen tool, and smudging. Play around with blending options and transparency. And if you have Photoshop, install Topaz Adjust.

There's a bit of a kerning curve to all of this. But if you keep at it, you might be pretty good in a few months if not sooner.

thx i will look into some tutorials and try to fool around a bit.
also i am using photoshop cs6.
the ones with more renders in it was to try something cause i thought they were too boring.
the backgrounds are random cause i made them myself and the ones with the weird outlines and white pixels are renders i made myself.

The advice already given is pretty sound. Try and look into different text effects and what types of texts suits what.
Good job, you can only improve.

You could also improve the first one by removing the characters aside from Suguha, since she did blend well together with the bg.

#8's render seems really washed out. There's a huge contrast imbalance when comparing the bg with the render.

Try to think more about your sig's overall composition, how does your fx go together with the overall flow of your sig? Is their a balanced and sensible light source? Does your render overall seem like it belongs with your bg? Does it fit in to the overall atmosphere that you created in your sig?

It doesn't have to blend in with the bg to fit in with the bg, just make sure you do careful adjustments with the lighting, contrast levels, and maybe a bit of color adjustments.

Also try to make sure your text fits in with your signature.
Note that the focal point of your sig should be your render not your text.
Try googling some signature text or typography tutorial

Heres a few good ones I saw:

It's not that bad. Just make sure that the focal point stands out more than the backgrounds.

As for the text. They look rather stiff, use a smoother looking one.

The Zoro sig is the best one for me.

They're amazing for your first signatures.

I say, you could make sure that the border and text colour goes well with the actual signature and don't clash. For example: The red text clashes with the actual image and background


And this: The red border doesn't go well with the calm blue theme

I think 9 looks the best, try to learn from what you did so well in that particular signature.

An issue I notice is how the text doesn't fit into most of the other signatures. The colour of the font and the banner has zero or whatsoever harmony in 1, 2, 3 and 4 for example.

Good luck with the shopping, it's looking promising. ^^

they`re pretty nice for your first batch :) my favorite is 8.

I think you can improve on your fonts and text styling though. Especially for your username. The credit should be there but not overpowering the entire artwork.Pixel fonts (eg. Ernest) are perfect for that. eg. http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3kkw3FfSB1ql4omco1_500.png

http://www.dafont.com/ has some nice fonts.

As for font styling I suggest going to layer>layer style and playing around with the effects a bit for your text to start. Eventually you'll just get the hang of it naturally.

You're almost there though. Just keep practicing :D

I find them quite good, but I know nothing to this kind of work. I was just wondering, would you take a request for a custom signature? Not quite sure exactly what I would like but I have a few ideas (Something simple to begin with). If you are up for the job just tell me what you need and I will make my mind on what I want.

of course i take requests because that is the way you can improve most in my opinion.
for what i need i would like the name of the person in it and the text you want in it.
i hope to hear from you again

@woodychan,
thx i personally feel that way too but it is quite hard for me, i will try to use different fonts and effects.

i dont mind some criticism and i know my text is horrible,
but i try to do something about it and it never works -.-
the single color is because if i let the render have its original colors the most people say it doesnt fit the background so i tried it this way.
but if you say it sucks then i will not try it again.
and i also dont have much inspiration atm which is a pain in the ***.

I'm no editing hero myself, so I can't give you much advice. But I can see you're growing though! Keep working hard and I'm sure you'll be great in the future. A little advice from my personal view, but maybe you can try to make the colour of the text fit more with the image. Not the same colours of course.

Also, why don't you try making it a bit smaller? It appears it takes up quite some place in the image.

Yep they they do create good gfx

I am just exploring others art style in my free time and bumped in your thread and requested your sample because I just love exploring it. I hope you didn't mind it and if you could just share me some of your work just to let me see

Sidenote: do you know anyone who would be willing to take a odd request too? Because I was also searching for a person who can create a full gfx navigation hub just based on Utaha Kasumigaoka with requirements of few links in it from myside
