You asked for it.Originally Posted by ff7+ff10 gurl 100
Yes, your latest release looks exceedingly alike to the first two signatures that you have in your second-to-last post, and all three of them are boring. All of them are abstractions with only the text to save them from complete blandness. I think that all three of them could be used as backgrounds for other signatures, but by themselves they are lacking.
This is more like it. The background is like the others, yet you have something in the foreground to look at. There is even a brush in the background that mixes it up a bit. It's a start. My gripe here is that the character in the foreground does not match at all with the background image. Do something, anything, to tie them in together.
It's pretty, it's nice, it's clean. I would like this if it were not so tall. There is too much empty space up in the upper left-hand corner area, all above Rukia's head. To save against something like this, rotate the foreground image some; a clockwise turn of twenty degrees or so could do a world of difference. Also, there seems to be several shafts of light running in front of Rukia and Ichigo, yet the light source does not reflect in the background.
I think that the bar in front of chaos takes away the focus from the main image. Make it shorter so it does not take up almost a third of the entire signature. Also, experimenting with "stitching" it through chaos's image might bring out better results. That is, have it disappear behind his main body, but still cut in front of his wings, or place it behind him entirely, etc... It has potential.
Ah, one of my biggest gripes: an image that both escapes traditional borders and yet is contained by them. If you are going to put an image that overlaps and goes out of defined borders (in this case, the top and bottom, those lovely dark areas), then make sure that they are complete. Having an image that goes out of borders only to be cut off is one of the ugliest things in the world. Either put the image there in its completeness and use .gif or .png format to take advantage of transparencies, or put it back in the borders that you have defined in your signature. For this signature, you may also want to look at either reducing the amount of detail in the girl or increasing the complexity of the background. It's a clash.
Ugh. I do not hold it against you because the only one who should be allowed to complain is the person who requested it. If they do not have fault with it, then good for them. I will just say that both it and its matching avatar are both kind of plain and unappealing.
Cheers, and I hope that you take something away from this!
