That's a double negative. What you just said there is you can tell what it is. :P

It's from Gears of War I believe, not sure though. I'll look for the render.

Yep, definately GoW. The Render!

Well, I technically meant a spider with a spider head, thus the multiple eyes... >_>;

Still lol, though.

Ok sorry for another sig but couldn't resist...

If I have sigs I made for other people on a different forum, do I post them here or in my photoshop thread?

The clone trooper and dark archons are perfect examples of what I was talking about before. The darkon could use some touching up,, but in terms of placement, those sigs blow the crap out of most of the rest, which are mostly centered and dividing, or just too far to the side.

Anyway, specifically about the darkon, however--TOO FUCKING BIG. There's a huuuge empty area with a bland, repetitive background, then the darkon just kinda blobbed on there. Blend moar and use space better.

The Illidan (I think) one's text just bugs me. It's a happy curly font for a giant flaming horned demon. Wtf, mate.

The Dante above him is even worse. Only about a third of the sig is actual image, the rest is just a really busy background that hurts the eyes.

The red SC2 archon is pretty bad in this respect too.

The rest don't have anything particularily good or bad, so I'll just leave you with a "learn to use space, dammit!" comment and be on with my day. :3

Oh, wait, one more thing. For the Dark Archon, for instance--there's a HUGE empty space up at the top left, incredibly boring to look at--yet you make the text TINY and stuff it way down at the bottom.

If you DO end up with a big open space, try putting bigger text there.

Hell, try using bigger text in general, and do something with it besides a few overlay glows and such.

You've got skill at using Photoshop.

You just need to master composition now--these are almost all "poorly placed stock on a busy yet empty background with tiny text".

Does your of giving advice usually help people? I mean, I understand what you said and stuff and will do better on future sigs with space usage and what not. But dude, try not to be like "This sig has big problems, and this is what i dun like." Some people just don't get motivated by that... I've been givin friendlier advice, but thanks for it though, I will be using it.

Blind praise does not help people get better.

Don't take it too harshly. Like I said, you have skill, you just don't put things together that well most of the time.

Hell, I wish I had the skills at it you did. You can make awesome looking backgrounds. You just don't assemble the end product as well as it could be done, so I thought I'd give you some pointers from the artistic composition class I took.

I haven't gotten use to putting other pics in without fucking the whole thing yet... But it's a growing talent. The Illidan one has too much shade. Might redo it. Text has been my most hated talent in my entire time of doing photoshop things. I just can get them right.

There are some great tutorials out there. Even I've made some sexy text by following them. XD

Give it a Google whirl some time. You'd be surprised at the difference a good text can make.
