    Hey guys,

    i made this sig, i know it needs alot of work, but i believe its an improvement for me and i would like some feedback on what i can do to make this better

    v1
    [​IMG]
    v2
    [​IMG]

    thats my image, its empty on the right side, i'm not sure what to put there, i was thinking maybe like a scenery image and blend it with the background,
    also i was wondering what do you guys think about the text and the blending on the render, i have been having some issues with the text on my other sigs,


    Thanks for all your help


    **Edit**
    Added V2

    what i would say is to not have ur sig be 3 tones of the same color. try to use colors from the render in a background
    so ull have a 2/3 color themed peice. "monotonous" is a word ull see if you make sigs like this because they are
    just one color. i'm very impressed because you managed to create good depth just by blending. good job!

    well depending on the style of sig. you could put some other abstract stuff in there.. or you could use the burn/dodge tools
    if you wanted to make it look like a grunge sig. for this style of sig it seems to me like there should be trees or something
    for her to be guarding or something :)

    Ok my opinion, I like it. First look at it I think carved stone. Idk if you meant it that way but, the texture of the bg lead me to think that way. The color flows together nicely. Size I would say 10px off h&w. Then again I'm not crazy about large sigs. Idk what to say other then I like it.

    no fx.
    no depth.
    monotone color again.
    no depth all lighting is the same
    dull.

    I suggest that you don't use such big size. I use 350x125.

    Text needs work. Colours are very monotone. Look at a few tutorials, get the feel of your render, and try to envision a final product. These are all things that helped me.

    dood this doesn't help anyone.
    by the look of the sig you can tell he is no ps expert *no offense*
    but maybe a tip or a hint on how to fix any of those things... or a link to a tut lol
    kinda harsh on a beginner.
