New sig project

[Meldarion]

So I haven't made a sig in a while but with the CS3 trial available yesterday I figured I'd make a new one. Spent a good half hour in photoshop and came up with this.



EDIT: Compare it with this one. I'll clip it inwards later :P


EDIT #2: Ok well the first one is pretty much out. So I tried making a hybrid of the 2. I added the sparkle stars but made them pretty vague so it wouldn't look to messy. Also changed the border just a little bit. If you can even notice the change, let me know how it looks.


Still wanna work on it but before I go any further I wanna get some of your guys input as I have seen ton of amazing sigs here. So lets start the constructive criticism!

Very cool looking. I like the colors and the blue splatter brushing. However I think you overdone someone of the effects because some parts look over sharpened.

I can't tell if you used any C4Ds but they would work wonders for this one. Also a clipping masks on the splatter brushes would be so much better.

The text horrible and shouldn't be needed in this sig.

Overall very good just lighten up on the effects because it makes things look voer sharpened and grainy.

Nice background and colours, although a bit messy. Brushing is nice. Just suggest a different render and cutting the majority of the black area at the sides, by clipping the image ->inwards<-.

And Yea, no text.

Overall, good sig, just needs a few touches . Hope that helps.

good sig.
my advice: more depth, and take off the text.

I like the second one more casue it has more depth, but I like the first cause of the spatter..so combine spatter effect with the second and its pure win hehe.

Thnx everyone for all your tips. I'm liking the 2nd one a lot more, maybe I'll try to add some spatter to it tomorrow or something but I'll try to keep it a little clean. Yeah I got a little over board the first time hehe.

P.S. HunterX your current sig rocks. I think thats my fav of yours so far. Chaos yours is looking awesome as well, I typically vote for your sigs in the SOTW. Love your work man.

You are awesome work as well. Can't wait to see what you got in the next SOTW.

Second version is spot on m8. My personal preference is smaller, but thats still only my preference. Awesome job m8.

You could have used another backround (not just black) and I don't think that the Text is the best one.

Well I wanted the render/explosion behind the render to be the focus, not the background. Hence the simple background. The text is already gone.

P.S. first post edited with a third sig.
