    Did a couple experimentations on splatter sigging and these were the outcomes: (used that cabal tutorial for some advice on doing it, was a great help!!!)

    1st outcome: [​IMG]
    Turned out kinda plain. So i added a stock this time with different renders.

    Things ive found out after looking back on it,

    1.Could use better text work

    2. Some of the splattering can be better placed.

    3. Some are a little plain on the end and could use somthing to add spice (thats were u guys come in)

    etc.

    I'm feeling the way you've created these. Great work. I have nothing negative to say. :P

    Composition and flow. All of these are fairly redundant. They look the same (except for the first one of course, this one has a better compo and flow then all the others)

    they just look too overbrushed and oversmudged

    1st one looks really good, but the others contain to much effects and are messy, like arkane's saying, work on composition and flow ;)

    thanks for the info guys. Thats probably my #1 problem is obtaining flow. And its true i can agree that some of them are over brushed especially the 4th one. Thanks for the criticm guys.

    I will be reposting the edits soon in this thread.

    "Composition and flow. All of these are fairly redundant. They look the same (except for the first one of course, this one has a better compo and flow then all the others)

    Its true they look the same because well as i said i was doing practice runs on splattering xD

    All of the above is true, and I think that they are lacking depth too.

    Define what u mean by depth? Or better yet any advice on improving it? I just finished the editing now, about to repost them, but if there is something else i can change it would be great to know.

    I always thought of depth as something that defines the signature or artwork. In that case i think the design layout speaks for itself. Like the above posters said i think there already is depth, but it needs to be worked on and cleaned up or perfected.

    That was helpful, though if i had to improve on that i would have to remake an entire sig. Ill do that on the next pair of sigs i make then.
