That's cool. I think it looks great :) Perhaps including some subtle texture in the negative space?

thanks ^_^ there was texture there but i removed it ;)

[Kenzo]

Looks very good (*＾▽＾*) . I'm working on mine too .

[Fenristh]

Quite good. :P

Shame you saved it as a .gif though, it made it all grainy.

[Askyria]

Love the colours, looks really nice.

Two things though, one, text -- it's kind of plain. The glowyness makes me happy though. And two, the bar covering part of the moon looks kind of strange. Maybe lower the opacity? It'd be cool if you made the moon all glowy too. If you topped it off with a 1px border set on overlay or low opacity it'd look crisp and clean. IMO. Just suggestions, don't take them the wrong way xD

Awesome!

nope lol i didnt take it the wrong way. the opacity of the bar was good at first but i accidently made a wrong move and it stayed the way it is now :nag:
thanks for the tips though

[Askyria]

Aw, haha, did you save the .psd file of it?

[Misschoco]

yup i did

[Rikku]

Ahh, that's the start of a good sig. Asides from Cheryl's on concrit though, I have a few suggestions of my own:

Move the moon closer to the image of the girl, so then we have a clearer focal point. It will make it look more attractive since now our eyes have a clearer thing to focus on. Also, all the empty space looks odd -- perhaps you should try putting in some textures again.

^^ It really is nice though; gives off a very placid and calm feeling. The colours are very soft as well, and overall, I really like it.

YES. Yes, textures are a must. Textures are love. <3 So is Garamond. <33...

[Rikku]

You're such a textures fangirl it's not even funny... XD SHOULDN'T YOU BE MAKING A CERTAIN STUDY SHEET?

Although in that vein, textures aren't the only way -- you could always add in parts of other pictures that seem to match or maybe do a bit of light brushing. It's just something to liven up the background and create flow, but don't lose that nice placidity you have going there. D:

Keep up the good work! <3

[Misschoco]

thanks for the tips all of you :D ^^ iv added a subtle texture to it and a border but i cant decide which is the better out of the 2 pictured below

Im for the brushes meself, but you canalso use C4D's to create a flow but yeah, like Rikku said, keep up the good work ;)

[Yurian]

I think it looks great Choco :) I'm not really a brush person or texture person myself - I like emulating reality by manipulating other images to fit into one signature - so here's my opinion:
I think you've placed the moono as the focal point of the image: the position of the character, as well as the brightness of the moon all call attention towards it. However, I find it a bit empty with just a moon floating. I see you've added some textures, but maybe adding more cues around the moon to pinpoint its placement i.e. clouds, mountains beneath it, sillouettes of trees, etc.
That's just my opinion - I'm sure you could make it just as attractive using more graphic design oriented methods - c4d as kaze said, or grundge brushes, etc.

Keep up the good work!

I think the link to improved sig 1 is broken or something; I can't view it. D:

[Askyria]

Yeah, I can't view it either. And yes, I'm a textures fangirl. Live with it. 8D I used to love brushes until I found textures. <3

As for the new version you have up, I'm not sure which one I like more, the old version or this one. I use textures differently, lol. IMO it seems like the girl and the moon are kind of fighting for attention, cause they're both quite large and bright. I like the idea though, keep it up ^^
