I guess what's throwing me a little is the contrast with the border. I suppose I ought to stop bugging you, but I'm curious to see what it'd look like if the border was a little lighter. The shade of Miharu's coat, for instance, or perhaps one from his hair. *goes to fiddle in photoshop*

[edit] nevermind, doesn't make enough of a difference to be noticeable.
heh, ok then ;)

Yeah, I might reduce each side's border by one pixel.

Nice sig, Tako. I was thinking of putting some animation in mine as well. I'm not sure about the background you used for the text there though. The one below MyAnimeList is not wide enough, the 'y' is too large. But I guess everyone's looking at the animation ^^.

I was never good with backgrounds really, I just threw some stuff together and came up with that =P But like you said the animation is there to grab your eye away from the rest of it. I'll probablly give the background another go tomorrow and fix that 'y' thing at the bottom there. Stay tuned.

Ah crap, I wrote 'below' when I wanted to type 'next to'. *smacks himself*

What I mean is the vertical 'MyAnimeList' on the very left, if you look at the 'y', you see that the background for that bit is not wide enough so the 'y' goes over the right border. Hope you get what I'm tryin to say ^^.

[edit]: Yet another edit on my sig, think I'm done now.

Everybody's sigs look so good... I feel left behind without my precious Photoshop to play with. T_T

I actually have an idea for a sig that I think would be pretty nifty. But even though it's fairly simple, if I made it with my current graphics programs, it'd probably look bad. *sniffle* Fooey.

Tako: Animation is awesome! XD

Cyruz and Krelian: Love the colours. :o

Key: Just plain love. ^_^b

Ahhhh, I see what you mean now! Heh maybe I just shouldn't be going over my stuff at 3 in the morning when I can barley tell the difference between a pillow and my dog XD

And Goldmare, like cyruz said simplicity is awesome as well. Which yours is very good for being so simple. I think it really just comes down to personal taste in the end. I could never do anything so simple that looks nice at the same time, my stuff always has to be really messy looking or it never looks right ^_^

cyruz yours is very nicely done, the color choices were absolutely perfect everywhere and it all just blends together so well!

Well I fixed mine up a little bit but instead of fixing the whole 'y' thing I just decided to remove the vertical MAL ad (was that option always there or am I just blind o_O?). I'll probably try making another background for mine sometime later today.

Aww, thanks. =^_^= It's nice being different!

Edit: Slight adjustment to the side image (inner border colour) so that it blends with the main sig image better. Also changed my avatar, because the other one just didn't match all that well.

Its jus my personal taste but i like to see "Color of the text"-colored Borders xD

@tako
ahh i cant work with gifs iam to stupid - thats cheap man xD
+matching gif
+nice blendwork
-little bordered boxes for the text

Its not so easy to Border all the text the same way but this looks really strange to me.
The Animeboxes are quite good and look the same but the bigger two look out of the place to me.
The little corner unter the big "T" and the space between the Animebox and the url.
Its jus a minor mismatch but it attracted my attention in the first place while lookin at it >.<
I jus can quote myself "its my taste~"


@myself
-text
+choice of colors

You really have to rework the BECK text , its looks horrible and the mongolianchopsquad is rarely readable

Thanks!

It's actually a fanart (not mine, nowhere near that talented ><) based on a section of the Claymore manga. The scene didn't actually make it into the Claymore anime unfortunately.

I forget exactly where the image is from, but I hosted it here if you want to see a full-sized un-cropped version. :)

Rehwyn, great concept.

It's more creative than the typical blending-ness.. such as ZoiQ's sig :P (at least it doesn't have a border)

Though yeah, I agree with him. Maybe make the colours a bit more soft :D

ps. I love your sig ZoiQ (best use of colours ever. So pretty!!!) :P

Yeah, I wasn't entirely sure which colors to use in the text box. Figured there was a good amount of green and blue in the pics, but I do agree it looks a bit.. off.. XD

Gonna go toy around with them a bit.

EDIT: Perhaps just using different shades of green works better, as seen now.

Thanks, I thought those colors went a lot better as well. :)

And yeah, I personally enjoy the Claymore manga more than the anime. The first 19 episodes almost followed the manga verbatim so it was nice seeing it all animated and colorful, but after that the plot deviations kinda got to me.

Inicharu said:

Yeah, I knew it'd be impossible to truly blend it in so I was kinda going for a "frame" effect instead with the black background, but using similar internal colors as the pic.

In any case, it's an upgrade from my previous sig. XD

Been having a horrible time deciding what signature to have and how to make it etc. etc. So right when I decided to just use some random text I found a picture of Shana in that ribbon she had in the end of the new OP. So, I made something simple out of it.
Even watching the first episode of the second season forced me to re-add Shana to my favorite anime list..

Just done this signature.

Still not sure on what colours the rows and text should be so I just used the pipet majig to get a random colour off Lain for the darker row and used the border colour for the lighter one.

Problem being the text doesn't stand out too much on the light row.

:edit: just updated row 2 to that of the quote's text colour (the What isn't remembered blah blah...etc). Perhaps this may be better.
