    As was previousally mentioned the Background is fairly good. However, your image that you used for the render is not blended well and kind of sticks out like a sore thumb. However, likely the worst part on the signature is you text. The Font not only doesn't fit well but it also distracts one from the signature quite awfully.

    But I have seen worse for a first signature so overall you seem to be on the right track at the moment.

    Once again the background is likely the most notable point in the signature. The improvements in this one over the last one are quite nice overall. First the image you used fits with the background much better. In addition the font is not quite as much of a sore thumb as in the first one. However, my recommendation would be another font. The font you are using just doesn't feel right with the kind of backgrounds. You got a firey font on non-firey backgrounds.



    Overall I like the first one best because the background is better and while the text and rendering were performed better in the second it wasn't performed better to the degree in which I would favor the less favorable background.


    STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!

    The bgs are very cool. Everyone has their own style, but try to make your sigs glow more.

    What system do you use?

    Technically, they're too big for EoFF, the height is off by 2 pixels, and CK's will remove it, even though its such a small difference. Rules are rules.


    Anyways, the Vivi one is probably the best, in my opinion.

    anyway i havent a clue how that happened. i made it 250 pixels high, 252 pixels. anyway i'll have to shrink it.
    EDIT: thanks Khaotic. I'll sought it out latter.

    They're a bit big, but they're good for a first try. I would suggest saving them as higher quality images, though. The text looks kind of ugly because of the whole jpeg-ness.
