I think if you gave it a little more color it might help.

maybe i can see what you mean, but i was trying to keep it fairly monotonus, i think the borders around each section make it look a bit crowded now... I'll do some editing wen im done with college work =\

I think the idea is nice, but the upper drawing is sloppy o_O
I'd expect alot better from an artist like you dav -_-
I've gotta disagree with kuwa, I dont think you need more color, that one is nice imo.

Never set typo on a blending mode, or have brushing ontop of it, it always looks bad, so hence, bring out the typo, and the drawings on the top sig ;)

=) spanks dask, i know what you mean now, i kinda liked the typo on a blending mode though, it looked watery to me =\ but i shall edit =P, thanks again for the help ^_^

hehe, on a lighter note ive seen the announcement about sig sizes, while i do remember my sigs were over the limit =\ i made a *****ing topic about it being edited cuz for months no1 cared...i made the *****ing topic after new year cuz i had a **** one, i was pissed off at the time and felt victimised >;o cuz of an ironic quote in my sig, but yeah my ranting topic musta struck a nerve =P threaten with their ever looming power they did =0... so if i was naughty we'd all be punished, but I actually care about the art side of this community, maybe i should post more, but it seems like no1 listens to me... like people wont listen to this. I'd also like to call to attention how much the sig section is dying these days, where have all the sig makers gone? and cud someone start a competition that like, gets finished (like i can talk but hey, im talkin bout principle here) but yeah, i'd love to see more activity here a compo usually helps.

god your so emo >;0~~~~~


anyway, i think if you kept the borders and stuff, but made the character a little more colourful in ur first sig, it might have worked better.

The failed one... Well, heh, whattya know? Dont like it. The sig youve got on at the moment I like though, and I wonder...

I remember a while ago you made a "speed"(?) painting of a figure like that sitting in an alley with a city in the background... is this where this came from?? I must know!

*Ahem* On topic... The current sig is great, I really like it. Im not sure bout the bottom left hand brushing/painting though... I wonder how it would look if it was all kept in the same direction as the rest of the sig? Try it out and do show us (or just me, because Im oh-so-special)

hehe, basically i took the speed painting i did and blended it with the texture layers that you can see in the failed one, did a few things to the speed painting though, duplicate layers and filters and such =] pretty simple really

No no, not your current. I was gonna say something about it, but this thread aint about the current one, is it now?
Your current is quite nice, like this one.
