Thank you everyone, I appreciate the comments so much The comments make me want to keep improving so I love reading them! <3

here is a new one.
I wish I placed the text differently, I tried to make it look like she was holding it but i failed. Otherwise I think I did ok with the rest.

Thanks Kandy Sugar

Here are a couple of things I've done for clan challenges and callouts over the past few weeks

This was for the Abstract Clan Challenge, I'm actually really pleased with how it turned out. I didn't think I'd manage to pull off what I had in my mind but I think I did it pretty well! There are some things I'd change ofc but overall I'm happy

This was my first (failed) attempt at the abstract Clan Challenge:

My SOTW entry for last week, I'm not too fond of it but oh well

And here are some callouts I did:

I'm really happy with this Yuna one I think it's one of my favourites I've made

Anyway, C&C is always appreciated <3

Absolutely love the Yuna one. The colors are very mellow and calming. The pic you used is very nice too.

I also love the Spider-Man one. There's just something about it I really love. I like the colors you chose for it too.

You're doing amazing work Toni! I look forward to seeing more.

These are my favesies:

I really like the colors you used in this signature. The coloring is just so interesting to look at. It not be as abstract as most but it's got some really nice color. I'm not too fond of the text though and I honestly think the image would be more effective in the sig was cropped shorter just below her wrists. Other than that it's great.

I had no clue this one was yours. Your skill level keeps rising high and while you may not be fond of it I certainly like it. The blending, coloring, and lighting are the bee's knees. However I'd probably choose a different text

I love this one and think it's the best of my favorites. The umbrella blending/fuzzy border thingie seems pretty awkward and takes me out of the beauty of the signature. I really love the text and images used in this one. But mostly the text. It fits in perfectly with the signature. I also love how the bold colors stick out against the light background and lighting. VERY well done .

I actually like this yuna signature as well. The blending and lighting are the highlights of the piece I think. I'd probably crop it a bit shorter(from her waist down doesn't contribute to the piece). The render/stock and the effects really shine and play off one another.One thing though, I'm really trying to decide if I like or dislike the text. Overall it's a really pretty piece.

Callout with Oli

SotW entry. I'm pretty unhappy with this but I did throw it together in about 1 hour haha...that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it

SotW Bioshock Infinite entry. I am proud of this. I so wish more people had entered this theme.

I love all your work!

You seem to get better every time you do an update!

I am jealous of how quickly you grasped this sort of thing when I never really got the hang of it. XD

I especially love your first one. It's just so pretty and colourful and sweet. <3 I just want to eat it up!

Woah bloody hell, you've improved so quickly! Love the zombie tag and the one of Liz is fucking bang tidy. I'm a Liz fanboy anyway but it looks fantastic, it has great depth and effects. I also like the one about the heart and it being a bloody mess. Really haunting!
The only thing I'm iffy about is the text in your signatures, it's a bit formulaic IMO (gradient fill with a drop shadow and stroke etc etc) Other than that, really nice stuff.

And I'll leave you with the most irritating line in the GFX community...

"Nice work KIU"

Ewan Bang tidy Im watching celebrity juice right now hahah

Just like Ewan said your getting absolutely brilliant The elephant is by far my favourite piece of yours. your really coming along fast. I think you should start working and focusing mostly on your text work Open up old PSD files in photoshop and practice by remaking the text. You dont have to save it or anything of course but its good practice for improving your text work. As much as i use topaz i woudl suggest playing with the settings a little. It really does help tidy a sig up but i find yours to be a little too strong. Your hitting the nail on the head though with your colours and your render placement. Also that blue yuna sig...wow. I remember when you made that one. Its seriously a great signature, your best signature sized piece of work by a longshot in my opinion.
Excellet work toni kiu <3
