Re: WTS Forum Signatures... *FREEBIE*
After sobering up a little from last night...
The final Sig you had is much too tall. The forum Nazi's say 200 pixels height maximum. also
The pink in the middle and just the rough line that transitions the blue and the pink looks out of place. It takes too much concentration off the character itself.
It looks to me like all you did was add a layer with rough overlay of color in the center. Too many colors and it doesn't look good.
The plastic wrap(looks like plastic wrap) around the character doesn't do much for me. There is nothing in the background behind the gnome character itself and looks a little plain besides the plastic wrap.
The lightening is rough and blurry. The colors of the text don't mesh well and you undoubtedly just used prebuilt in layer styles judging by the colors and texture of the text. That's like default photoshop stuff. Too many colors meshing, you need to simplify it down a bit.
So get rid of the layer style- texture bevel emboss outerglow- on the text, switch around the colors, redo the background on 2/3 of the sig, get rid of the plastic wrap and redo the lightning.
Put some lightning in there like on that banner. You can use a plugin or you can make some really really cool lightning effects with difference clouds and and brightness contrast changes.
I do like the pose of the pet and the background behind the pet. The earth pet matches the green background very well. The purple glow around the gnome looks great.
