thanks for the comments, yeah you're right... I realize that the last one is empty now as well... might add an effect or something or change it sometime if I can be bothered enough :p
I'm kind of swamped at school right now but i'll try to make some sigs when i have the time... but here are two new ones :)

well, what do you think? :)
NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not brushes again -.-" You were doing so well with filters <_<
1st one is empty :( LIke too much of the same brushes :(
2n one colours are too bright! I took the liberty to change it, so when i present critics it won't be too hard to listen!
Now all I did is quite simple I added a gardient map (Light purple to dark tone of a light yellow) and set it as multiply! Also to give a bit of brightness I added anothe rlayer with Gradient map in black and white and blur it then reduced the opacity by half (I don't remember if in softlight)
Then I rippled and displace, set as multiply to darkne it and erase in some parts :) Then I added text in Arial Bold

See how is softer and smaller an less empty? And it was simple! :)
Perhaps consider this a colab?;)
Take it easy, Polaris. It is not a terrible thing to use brushs from time to time. -.-
The first sig is empty, yes but I guess that's its theme, not every sig has to be crambled with stuff but it still counts as so empty. I'd have added more eyes and maybe some kind of a scene behind the heartless to make it look less empty.
The second, I guess it looks nice, all it was missing is depth and that was added when Polaris played with it, but as I look at both of them something about yours makes me feel like I like it better before the changes. It looks dreamy and softer and simpler. Just keep trying and playing around, you'll learn more techniques by playing around than by reading tuts and such stuff. Good luck, Tim!
These are both really good. The first one is kind of empty but the second one doesn't feel 'empty' it just feels like something is missing. . .
Good work anyway.
thanks for the comments guys, although i do have to say something, first of all... the first one only has ONE brush in it and that is the rain, everthing else is just filters and smudging of the render, and i was going for the more simple theme yes i love the render and will probably make a wallpaper with it with more stuff in it and a scenery and all that (just have to find some stock images)... although second is pretty much packed with brushes :p
Polaris the thought of making a colab is GREAT we should really make one, but maybe not this one because i actually already changed it (i thought it looked flat and not that good), and plus i already had a specific thought with it (and the text in your wasn't exactly what i'd thought...) and you'll see i guess... but next time we can make a colab from the very start if you still want to:)
but ANYWAY enough of my rambling, here are two new sigs and a edit of the sora one
new version

what do you think?
The last one is the best! :D However the size ruins it :( it'd be better if you'd have smth like 300*125 because like that the sig looks empty! Also practise colours, they're getting too monotone :( An advise do colours in last and don't use colorize or Gradient Map in full! :)
Well the text I put was what I felt when I saw the sig! And it's a ong from Muse where he says 'Lips are turning blue, a kiss I can't renew I only think of you my beautiful' and the way the music is really looks the way Sora is, flying almost in a transe! ^^"
I saw a great tutorial for text in Planetrenders for GIMP! I'll pm you it once I find it. It gives a great notion of what to do and what not :) Appart from that also don't put "Tim" in all your banners like that! Instead try to put a watermark!
Put text, select text and go to Layers and use delete layer! Then go to edit and stroke selection it with 1px in white! Then just use add bevel and it'll be a perfect watermark :) However my bevel doesn't work anymore :( check if yours is still working :)
your sigs are sooo good! wish i could make sig's!!
thanks for all the advice Polaris, the color advice is something i'll definitiely think about :) and don't worry about the text and colab thing, and it's nice that you took the time to show your advice what it really could look like :)... we'll make a colab soon and we'll ROCK ;) and for now i've left out my name on the sigs i do...i got tired of having it without any reason on all sigs... and the watermarks are a bit unnecessary right now, but if i make a tut i'll def use a watermark :)
and thanks Garnie, glad you like em :)
here are some new ones...

thoughts anyone? :)
The Tidus one is nice, maybe change the colours into smth more colourful because it's getting too monotone. And bg is all the same so perhaps add ONE brush. Because you didn't put the render in the middle so the right side is empty. :) Also add text! Honestly screw what guys say at PR! They say text is not necessary but I think it is!
About the WIP... it's not ur style... And it's really hard to make sigs with no bg look good. So try to use images that have a bg like the first one! :) They're easier.
yeah Polaris you're right, I will put text, although this time I actually felt that it made the sig worse (same with my new one which you'll see...)
oh and the WIP is not my style, just trying something new, I added the wings myself and yeah just trying something new...
here is a version with text and a new one :)
better with or without text?
http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...tidusyuna3.jpg
I looooooove this one :) def one of my best through all time :) hope you love it too ^^
http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...kkuinruins.jpg
tried adding text, but I thought the sig was pretty as it was so for me the other version is better...
http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...kuinruins2.jpg
well what do you guys think?
I like the effects you use in your Sigs.
You're Riku one is pretty awesome. Are you using C4D's or are those brushes?
thanks :)
that's a c4d to the right yes :) although it is a bit smudged/Iwarped around the edges to blend in better...
Ooooh. You're sigs are very magical and ethereal looking. Pleasant to the eyes.
Yes it is your best. Colours are great but the shiny thing on her should be on the vertical and not on the horzont. Anyway keep like that :D Now all you have to do is develop text :D
thanks for the comment guys... and Polaris acutally no it's not the light that should be vertical but rather the text that should be horizontal... it's the text that messes up the flow because everthing is like horizontal (the flow) and when i made the text vertical it became really weird... might change it sometime...
otherwise i've been kind of busy lately so haven't done much new work... did this request for another forum, three versions :)
