@TomboyEXE - I personally would use a different font but it's up to you. Also again with the text it feels a bit lacklustre but I can't pinpoint what it is. But everything else is very good.

@Transience - Looks very sick!

@TomboyEXE: I'd skip the sugar-coating and just say how it is, which is downright bad. To make it slightly better, I'd remove the thick black border. For future attempts, best you work on your compositioning. Let pictures and text of your layout be in harmony with each other. How it is now, it's far from that. Very far.

At least you get to the point :D
I was planning to remove it also since it looks awkward on my profile page. Now what's EXACTLY wrong with composition? If you mention what's wrong in the current layout, i can make changes.

Well it's good when one for a change, doesn't get demotivated or butthurt :'D
I'll tell you. Putting translucent boxes with text on top of pictures is not a very good move most of the time. It's more effective to make separate sections for those two components. Now that doesn't mean just make the boxes with text randomly and put pictures elswhere. Try to place them so they compliment each other and it doesn't have to be a simple box with a text inside either. Play around, be creative.

I always find it best to visit other peoples profiles who were nominated/are in the voting round of the Best Profile Design contest held every month, to get ideas. Deviantart is another nice place. Mainly because, when you make a profile layout, think of weblayouts. Think about how to present information about what you want in a way that's pleasing to another's eye and to your's as well. That's why, sometimes it's a nice plan to look at webdesigns uploaded on deviantart too instead of fixating on MAL profiles.

Thank you so much for the advice. I'll admit that i'm pretty new to making layout as compared to signatures, i'll follow up on your suggestion and visit a few good pages.

still too large, it's 607kb.

You'd be best to delete some frames out instead of changing the size.

Also you can check the size beforehand.

i shortened the frames, like you said.

if there still is a size problem, could you show me how i can view the size? i've tried but all i see is "600x320" or whatever. that isn't it, is it?

@Menzo-: I like the simplicity. :)

@Black_Rock: Very good. I love the subtle animation effect. Seems so calming.

@shuryukan: A lot of details, but it doesn't seem cluttered.^^

I've been using my Signature for 6 years now I think and that's about the time I haven't really made a new one. Is it still holding up? I'll try to make something new again :3

Good job. I've always sucked with doing gfx graphics. I just can't understand how people blend in the foreground character with c4d's and backgrounds correctly.

^ it really is just clip masks into boxes~ they probably cut out the text bubbles but i think that's it? it's real simple to do c:

I quite like the animation on the second graphic of yours. I've never really understood how to do something like that. The only thing is that the blur is maybe a little bit too strong around the character. It almost looks like the edges of the character are also a bit blurred. That's just a minor thing though.^^

i'm sure there are some .psd's hanging around the net for people who want to fancy it up quickly :3 as for me, i used a program called after effects~ it may look kinda intimidating at first since it's meant for videos but simple things like adding sparks are level 1!! please try out if you're interested 8D

As a concept, it's nice, clean, and simple, but I would change or edit the gif so the color variation and hue match the other image(s).

Otherwise, the font is terrible not fitting, and the boxes don't align correctly. The gif box has a dysfunctional border & frames are misaligned, and personally I feel a pure black border adds too much contrast (would probably use eye dropper on parts of the background of the source image for the color of the border).

I tried to align them better. Colored the white space because it was bugging me.

@tsudecimo

Im on mobile rn so kind of hard to tell, but they look aligned now
edit: they're not aligned q-q
If you don't like the white//using that bg color, probably better to change the color of the font. :x

Btw, I think you can split the images by box with the new alignment bbcode(?)
Turning the entire image into a gif for one section lowers the quality of the other images.
