1 thing i would recommend when using topaz clean. Apply the image and use the filter before you add your text and border. If you clean the image when u have your text and border on the tag you get this horrible static outline around it.
I think topaz clean is probadly the hardest topaz filter iv used and i rarely ever use it but your doin a pretty good job, maybe try lowering the opacity on the applied image layer if you think it looks averdone.
Also im loving the jean gray tag, the text seems a tad to far to the left but i love the effects and blending.

This is something I considered entering for SOTW, but instead made something else, although I do like it, I feel it's a bit weak -

 

[Jasmine You]

I think its gorgeous, I always like you CD4 works. you're so lucky, I've tied making those my self but apparently I can never get them right ;~;

I like the text so much, apparently I'm starting to e=become a sucker for text o.o
Its very simple and certainly very pleasant to look at. =)

Well done. <3

I wanna comment on your current siggy.

You remind me of myself. xD You always tend to have black and red in your signatures, and I think it's gorgeous. I love how you're able to work with old photo's so very nicely. I love the effects and style used in this signature. The text is a really nice add, to the already warm, and welcoming feel of this sig, and I LOVE how she's blended in so nicely with the whole picture.

I love your works. ^^

This one looks lovely.

The angle of Terra looks great and I'm rather fond of the cartoon drawings of the characters. It gives the signature a more mysterious look to it.

Terra is blended in well with the background and the colouring around her looks fantastic and matches with her attire, making it look great!

The C4D looks gorgeous and the lighting is spot on!

Gorgeous text and I love the tiny text underneath 'Terra' that fades into the background!

Excellent job on this one!

Thank you so much for the lovely comments guys! ^^ Since Kira commented on my current signature, I figured I might as well post my newest set. Bear in mind that I rarely make avatars, ever D=

Well, as I said I absolutely love it. The icon as well. It's just soooo simple, and gorgeous. I love the little flare of light on it. No text on icons can be hard to do, and for saying you don't often make them, you definitely pulled it off here. Love it. =)

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

This one looks quite lovely!

I like the simplicity and the simple orangey haze glowing on her.

Nice and simple avatar. =)

I like this one.

Stevie is blended in really well with the background and the C4D around her looks great!

I like how the random colours just pop out of the darkness here and there.

I like the lighting you have coming from the top of the signature too!

Awesome text and overall lovely work. =)

 

[Big Casino]

Great depth and lighting on this tag seriously. Youv made gtreat use of the c4d aswell. The best thing youve made yet imo. Starting to use bigger canvases? You work well with them =)

 

[Daenerys]

I'm kinda in a photoshop rut at the moment, I'm just going in having no idea what to do and throwing stuff together and hoping it works. I need some new resources, I'm bored of all mine now.

New stuff from farting around sessions.

A SOTW prototype before I entered something else instead -

Working with another black and white photo -

I love the art from this game... I haven't played it yet though.

I really like this sig. The work that you have with the C4Ds is great in it, and you also have good font choice for it as well. I think out of everything that i like about it.... the thing that is throwing me off about it is the light above Reimi's head. It's just so bold and off color from the rest of the sig that it acts as a distraction (to me anyways) and draws your eye away from the rest of the sig. Maybe if you tried a light pink or something that would go along the same color scheme as the C4Ds you have in it.

It's still a very nice sig though!!!

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Lovely work on this one!

I love the lighting you have coming down onto her hair. It looks awesome!
Really brightens up the signature. =)

The C4D looks awesome behind her and over her body a little. You've blended her in beautifully and the text looks gorgeous!

Lovely placement and the font used looks great. =)

Nice work considering it was a black and white photo.

The texture of the background is nice and simple and the fiery red effects around her look fantastic!

Awesome blending and the text is yet again done very well.

Also the half border looks brilliant on this piece. Suits it well in my opinion. =)

 

[Daenerys]

Update tiiiime.

SOTW 109 entry -

Set for Damon. Avatar -

Here he wanted something very specific, so it was much more difficult to work with than usual, however I gave it a whack -

And I'm just trying something a little different here -

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Lovely work on this one!

The blending is done very well, as always as is the lighting.

I like the effects you have surrounding him, they're simple but keep the signature interesting.

You've also placed the text very well and although I'm not too fond of the font on the first line, the little text underneath was a nice addition. =)

Awesome work on this one!

I really like hoe you divided the signature down the middle with just black. It looks very professional and like a game cover when they have good and evil on either side and then some fancy writing down the middle. XD

Awesome work really!

I love the purple sparkly effects down the bottom and the streak of lighting on the left hand side at the top looks awesome! Very real.

I like how this one has a clean cut look to it.

The focal is well established and the orangey lighting on the top right and bottom left of Beyonce makes you focus on her more.

I love how it's mostly gray and then you've coloured in her lips! That always looks fantastic!

The C4D or whatever it is at the front looks brilliant too by the way.

 

[Daenerys]

Sticking to my theme of less is more -

I'm trying to make things now that look uncluttered, but very effective. If you get me. I'm bored of complex backgrounds, going back to a simple approach.

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Love the latest one!

The red and pinky colours look awesome on Stevie and it looks even better in front of the plain background.

I like the little bit of detail in the background just behind Stevie. It makes you focus on her more.

Also you've placed the text very well. It looks like she's looking at it.

Lovely colours for the text also. It goes with the theme beautifully.

 

[Ewan]

This sig proves that less really is more. The colour scheme is very good and the colouring of the lips is done very well. The subtle smudging and lightiing is really effective as well.
The text is well placed and I like the font used very much.

It's a sig that you want to keep looking at! Very well done. Thanks for the inspiration

 

[Gingerbread Lesbian]

I love this one, everything about it is fantastic. The render is very well placed and nice and clean which is eye pleasing. I really love the background as well, the lighting really shows against it and looks fantastic, the C4D has also been brilliantly placed and I like the originallity of the font, it's great!

This is one of the best examples of a sig I've seen at being simple yet extremely effective. The black and white image really gave a good image to work or and the minor touches like the pink lips really stand out. I also admire the touches of reddy-pink on either side of her and her hair, they've been positioned fantastically. The font is also really effective, it looks very professional yet simple so sticks to the main focus of the sig. Extremely well done.

Keep up the great work!
