Need Signature Advice/Comments

H

i just made these signatures today. my first try using gimp. comments and advice would be nice; feel free to say what you want. i don't care about harshness since its my first time and I want to do better. Both of them look a little too big to me, and the color of the ground on the garchomp one looks a little weird. i wanted it to match the color of his skin.

unfortunately, this is not a request shop, but maybe it may be in the future if I get good feedback. but I kind of like those cute little fanbars that jeydis and teh purple one make. they're smaller and the get the same point across as these.

LOVE IT! I agree with you 150% about how they get the same point across as mine and Jeydis' bars. You should make a shop of those, except use a different topic. It just seems more professional.

wow ok! i'm gonna start a request shop soon when i finally master it. just a little more practice. im workin' on a few more example ones now. i'll edit my first post with more when they're done.

edit: forgot to say that once i start taking requests, you'll be able to choose what kind of font you want and the background. won't that be sexy? :-*

A black bg might suit the Blaziken one better. These seem pretty decent for a first try particularly using GIMP. Nice work.

PS: they are a lil big though you will have to use just that in your sig area with pretty much nothing else.

I love them, especially the Garchomp one - the colours and background work so well together!

They might be a little big, but to be fair I think the size works well on them - maybe just a little smaller. I love the fan bars because they're small, but I like these because they are big, if that makes sense. Great first try! I look forward to more ^^

The latest ones you did are much better size wise. Keep at it, just watch it with facy fonts and complex backgrounds, it makes them hard to ready at times.

PS: Wierdly I started off having a signature shop like this one and it never took off :( bad timing I guess.

thanks. yeah i felt so bad when i posted that lame-o signature with the font that was too fancy. it was what he requested, so i couldn't really say no. maybe i'll fix it up and make another one with a different font for him.
