    This is a banner I made using all the renders I've used in my recent work.

    Credit to all the characters creators.

    You have made 6 sigs in 2 days all of which have little effort put into them and look like crap...if you took your time instead of putting out a new sig every 20 mins i think they might look better.
    But for right now i have only been ------ impressed by one of your sigs, that being your halo one.

    Again. You're still not giving constructive criticism. Do you even know how you would define those two words, or use them in a sentence? You're being insulting, and I DO put effort into my work.

    Do you honestly believe it'd take me any longer to pull out a piece of Photoshop? No, because it's ------ing simple ----. It doesn't take talent to do ANYTHING on Photoshop, not tag wise at least. It's just that I do the best with the tools that I have. If I had Photoshop I can guarantee the quality of my signatures would go up 20 fold.

    So stop acting like you're the ---- just because you have a better program that makes the work look prettier because you type a few numbers into a box to alter an image. Photoshopping is not hard AT ALL.

    It doesn't take days of time to get a quality tag like it would to draw up a quality piece of artwork. It takes an hour at bare minimum, slightly more if the piece has significance behind it.

    So stop being a condescending faggot, and kindly ------ off, unless you're going to stop being a prick and actually critique my work to help me improve, instead of insulting me.

    ------ing snarky faggot.

    If you read the "Important topics" area right above this you will find a topic called "Comments And Criticism [c&c]"
    Here ill quote something for you:

    "C&C - What does it mean?

    C&C is abbreviated from the phrase ''Comments And Criticism''. So when someone posts a piece of artwork in this section ''Your Stuff'', whether it be a sig, splash, wallpaper, or a larger piece of art, when people state they would like C&C, they want comments and criticism."

    I am simply commenting on your lack of effort you are putting into your work.
    I'm not saying I'm a photoshop expert but i can tell you are not putting very much work into your stuff.
    Take this piece for example, all you did was throw a bunch of renders onto a canvas and slap some text on and thats it.

    What did you want me to say? That this is the greatest thing I have ever seen and that it looks like you put so much time and effort into this and that you are the greatest artist of all time?-well i tell it how it is, if it sucks ill tell you, if its good ill tell you.
    Suck it up and improve.

    How can I improve without proper criticism? Saying "Your work is crap." Is not criticism. You're bending the definition of constructive criticism to seem like you're giving feed back, but you're not. Yes, you've stated that I've not put a lot of effort into the piece (In which you're wrong, but that's beside the point.)

    And no, that's nothing close to what I wanted you to say. I'd want you to say on what I could do to make the piece better, that's what constructive criticism is. Criticizing someones work to help them improve. You've not done that at all so far. All you've done is insult me. Take your head out of your ass and realize that I WANT to be critiqued, but you haven't critiqued me. Your brain is so infinitesimal that you've fooled your self into believing you've helped me by saying I didn't put effort into the work, but no, you haven't, AT ALL.

    Each of my tags have taken over an hour, but as I've said, time and time again, that I do not have much to work with considering the program I use. So stop saying I'm not putting effort into my work, because I definitely am. I need tips to improve though, none of which you've given me. Unless you consider "They look like crap" a valid tip for improvement.

    First of all i want to see how I'm wrong saying that you put no effort in this? What more did you do besides put renders on a blank canvas then throw some text in?

    Second, there are no rules saying that I HAVE to give you constructive criticism. I simply viewed your thread saw your banner and left a comment stating a fact that you put little effort in this.


    If I was making low quality sigs I would want someone to come in and say that I was making low quality sigs. I would take that and want to shove it in their face by making an awesome sig. The way I would go about doing so is by reading up on some tuts to improve.
    And yes this happened to me when I first started.

    Okay so you're basically saying you want me to improve my work. So why wouldn't you try to help me make my work better? Your logic just doesn't add up, at all.

    I know my work is low quality, I've already agreed to that, several times. I never said it was good work, I never thought it was good work. I wanted constructive criticism to help improve my work. I worked on this piece for a little over an hour, trying new backgrounds repeatedly, trying to get everything to flow correctly, getting text that fit the theme of the piece. There's not much I can do with Paint.NET. I can't add any effects like you can with PhotoShop.

    You're commenting on my work as if I'm using a program like photoshop, when I'm not. I'm using a paint program that's no more than 2MB's to download. I'm limited with what I can do. Extremely limited.

    I cant help you improve your work because I have never used/heard of paint.net.
    If you had photoshop I could help you out.

    I figured you would handle my comments the way I handled them when I was in your position by making an awesome sig to shut me up.
    I was trying to motivate you. To me it looks like little to no effort because I use photoshop. This sig would only take me about 3 mins to do.

    Thanks. I agree that I overdid the effect on the text and it ended up becoming too blurry. And the piece was meant to have a lot going on in it, it's supposed to include all of the renders I've used recently and that's exactly what I aimed for.

    I don't know what to do about the quality, It was uploaded with lower quality, I'll have to look around and see what caused it.

    Where do you come from wherein calling someones work a piece of crap is considered motivation, lol? I'd make an "awesome" sig to shut up you, but truth be told, I can't. Not with the resources I have. For now I'm trying to improve on the platform I'm using.

    Yeah, I already do PNG. But Paint.NET does have issues when you move an image around, it blurs the pixels, makes them jagged. So that's probably what the issue is. I know once I get photoshop low quality will be a thing of the past.
