Quite good actually as it's getting there. Again, this could really do with being saved as a png file. For the text, it's probably just me being fussy here, but I'm not a fan of text being by the lower corners of a sig. Try moving it and "Viola" up towards the centre left and see what you get.

I asked for the Text to go there. I usually like my Text in the corners. so don't blame him C:

thanks :3

Though sometimes I agree that corner texts do not work in certain cases.

Anyway, I experimented further with the sig.

SummonerAmaterasu
here take it (if you prefer this one)

(sorry but the hand accidentally disappeared in the process, and it will take a lot of effort for me to bring it back. But at least, it now appears that the hand is behind the orb)

 

[ribbit]

That looks much better than when it was saved as a .jpg Although I would suggest a border But that's just me. I've always disliked how sigs look without borders

These are pretty good, I like the font you used on the Mog one, and the border goes with it as well, it looks good although some form of lighting would make it pop a bit more. The effects and lighting on the first one are great, it's good to see you improve so early on. Good job!

 

[Steve-O]

much better positioning on this sig is much better and blended in just right great job cid

can u see the quality difference between png and jpg ... also looks like u have added lighting now and it made the signature look epic some great work you got here.. just keeping looking at tutorials to find new ways on making signatures XD

Draklor
thanks. Yeah I had almost always wanted to add borders, but strangely I always forgot to add them lol.

Kitty-Urie
thanks
I am still in the process of learning lighting and stuff.

Stevie
I know right
I should have saved everything in PNG from the start.

 

[Steve-O]

Okay I am not sure about this one, but I intentionally noised up the sig

Freya from IX, with faded Burmecia background

 

[Naoto Shirogane]

oh yeah a Yuna sig would be cool I like her character design. She's so beautiful :3

Kay will try that

how's this one? I am personally satisfied, except that the render is of low quality that's just too bad.

EDIT:
oh I forgot to mention this.

I found a good way of making borders (as seen in the Yuna sig).
What I did was:
-create new layer, place it on top
-Fill totally with black
-change layer setting to 'screen'
-this should lead to a totally transparent layer
-enter blending options
-set inner glow
-border should appear
-choose the suitable colours, glow size, etc

What do you think?

^thanks =)

Also, here is a new sig I just made:

Greed from FullMetal Alchemist

 

[Squid]

Wow you've really improved in such a short amount of time! I love your yuns one and the full metal alchemist one!!! They're really bright and great to look at! I'm glad you've taken the advice given and have put it to practice so well!

I hope you're happy with the results because you're really improving

thanks very much
Yeah I am so glad that I improved. I experimented with and used lots of gradient and lighting effects.

anyway, new avatar:

EDIT:
lol now that you think about it, I should have entered this avi for this week's FFXII themed AOTW. But since I showed it to the public already, that's too bad. The deadline is today anyway.

EDIT2:
Since I am quite free today, I did another one

It's intentionally small btw.

 

[C i d]

sorry for double post

but I have another work to show. It's actually a sig for Sora_lion_heart.

 

[Bones]

Like WOW! This is amazing! The lighting, the colours, the smudging effects are all awesome, your borders are nice anyway but this is awesome altogether. I personally wouldn't have put the text over Zidane, but it seems to work anyway.

Great improvement, well done @Cid XIII-2
