Thanks everyone! It really was a hard choice this week also.

But I need to thank Tsukisama for that amazing piece of literature he wrote. It's really beautiful

Yes indeed. I always enjoy reading it twice or more ^^ Your signature was well done man Keep it up!

 

[~Coffee~]

Congratulations Kakashi, it was a wonderfully shiny signature that also made good use of black, good job!

 

[Shinsatsu]

Check out my new sig ! It turned out to be great

And this one too! Zeahahaha !

Nice sigs Shin, although I like the new one much more than the one you're wearing. The effects are really great

 

[Shinsatsu]

today is a signature day !

 

[kakashi919]

Great sigs Shin! Especially that Darui sig you're wearing.


Been working on the sky sig... Thought I deleted the first PSD by mistake, so I started from scratch, then realised when I was saving this one I didn't delete the first one but overwrote it by mistake.

Anyway, this one doesn't have much effects, but I'll work on it and see what goes on.

 

[Shinsatsu]

Thank you kakashi. As you see, I made all sorts of signatures but I can't think of anything that fits our theme.
The huge problem that I have, is that if I did find an idea, the result would suck and those signatures I made would look way better -_-

 

[DeBaron8]

@ Shin - Nice sigs, I like how you seems to change styles every once and a while. I really like the text in all of them, that font is real badass. I think I like the Darui one best too. The only things I don't like is that the Pain render doesn't seem to blend or flow with the rest of the sig very well and for my tastes the other two need a tad more contrast, at least on the renders. But that is more of a personal preference of mine, I like lots of contrast, probably too much.

@Kakashi - Really nice sky themed sig, I love how your sigs often have glow effects.

 

[Shinsatsu]

And Kakashi, hate to be blunt but the text in your latest work is no good :S try something else ^^

@Debaron: that Nagato sig is bad :S I made the sig because I was just forcing the render into it because I liked it :< It was a bad idea after all
did you see these ? :

lmao

 

[kakashi919]

The text in all my works are no good

Hmm, I can't decide on this, I thought the same thing at first, but the more I looked at it, I began to think that it does kinda fit the sig. It's like old school video game text or something. But I do think Shin has a point, so maybe if you still have the .psd try to experiment a bit. It definitely is a different type of text, yet it's not that bad IMO.

 

[Shinsatsu]

No you did great in some sigs. You just have to experiment more... the current's sig problem is the font color... (there is a problem in the harmony between the text and the background behind it). Fonts are not usually the problem :S

 

[DeBaron8]

@Shin - Yeah, I saw the first two. The first one is really awesome, I think I already said that. Third one is halarious, and I love green. In the second one, I think the render doesn't blend enough as its color doesn't fit with the rest of the sig and IMO it's also too small.

Since everyone is sharing here is a sig I quickly fixed up:

All my sigs look the same lately :S

+ : Great sig. Awesome text. Awesome character.
- : The border doesn't look good.

Yes sigs tend to look the same when they are made one after the other. If you take a little break the style will change for sure. Also, if you like immediate change, try a new tutorial and don't be creative. (it forces your style to change )

 

[kakashi919]

Yeah I had a lot of trouble with the color of the text. I just decided to go with the green and black >_<

I've been asking my family what's the first thing they think about when they hear 'sky'. All of them said the same thing....'blue'. Was gonna make something with blue, but I think Zel's sig already incorporates that.

I have another idea, but I dunno if I'll find the right render or stock for it.

 

[Shinsatsu]

Oh my god... I just made a masterpiece and Photoshop crashed while I was doing the text. This never happened :S I need to format this piece of junk.
RAGE QUIT.

That's horrible!!! I think I need to do the same thing, GIMP crashed three times while I was editing that Zabuza sig yesterday. The final product was actually mostly a screenshot from my monitor since the program froze. :P I really gotta remember to save more often.
