    Well clash I do have to say I like your quick commenting <3

    I finished my opinion on your signature btw.

    I do disagree with the 8/10 you gave TAD. zolo but I already wrote a comment back on his actual thread so I don't feel like getting into my opinion on that one :)

    and knucklepuck you need to work on your contrasting, clash's idea for curves will definitely be of help there :). Also I like the text just not it's placement.

    This is my favorite of the two. The typography in this is wonderful. The layout has great flow, and the coloring is spectacular. This piece has great potential for animation if you have experience with that. My only concern would be lossy quality due to gif. But a panning BG with some highlight effects would be kind of cool.

    The water-like effect is really cool. Only complaints here are that nothing is clearly in focus, and the type kind of trails off, making it hard to read.

    10/10 and 9/10

    The quality part is why I usually don't do it. I would love to put animation in most of my signatures, I have great idea's for them just when you apply them it doesn't look as good. For more of an advertisement it's not so bad :) except when I seen the quality of the previous render/cut-out. It kinda irritates till I got used to it. I'm commenting on tk's in my section then on your new one in a little.

    Thank you very much though. I've still been messing around with the font in the ichigoo tag. It's kind of hard to get something I like because of the mess of the tag. It was a signature from back when I first started and I re-did it slightly. So honestly I think it's slightly chaotic, but that was best I could do without disrupting the depth. I actually dislike the font because it create's the tearing focal point. I have two realisically now, the cut-out and the font, you bounce between the too visually. This is one of those one's I need text in it, just I can't get it to look correctly and it's to empty without it.

    I also would have had people walking past her, and have some kind of musical hint in there as well. I do like the panning idea with the highlight flash as an extending addition to it. I don't feel like seeing the quality disappear though :(

    Major improvement over the last one you posted with this render.

    - Cut-out is a little distorted.
    - "sparkles" over the cutout take away from the image
    - skull in the BG doesn't serve a purpose to the composition
    - type is awkwardly placed and untreated

    on the plus side

    coloring looks great, and I do like the general layout.

    3/10

    thank you (oh btw every says the skull is outta place... i kno your all right about it, but maybe cos you don't realise that the skull is actually part of the girls wings)
    just do a search for dizzy guilty gear (if you don't kno who she is)

    but once again clash thank you for you opinion

    recap what ill do (just for my purpose)
    keep colour and layout
    remove skull and sparkles
    rework BG
    change font

    hmm i can do that (try and get my score up by atleast a 0.5 :)

    Shoes look a little messy, and you have some shadowing around the edges. also, the hand flip there is a mess. The arm is still showing and the fingers are backwards.

    neat effects there...

    only issue is that it's not consistent with the apple brand at all... (this may be an improvement) but still inconstant.

    I like the colors...layout is nice...I'd drop the white smudge bars... no place for them here. Also, try Myriad Pro for the font. (that's the iphone font)

    i give it a 4/10 (mostly because the iPhone is a piece of garbage)
