click me ()

Well I kanda made this sig out ofe boredom (I am kinda sick and I have nothing to do).

well... since I'm just learning to make sigs could you please tell me ehat do you think it's the coolest?

SIG A:



OR SIG B:

Difficult, i would say the first (newer) one.

What do you think of my new one?

I have one

<p>New Sig (rinoafan.netfirms.com/Another-rinoa-banner.jpg)</p>

Angel from Heaven's post ()

I had some trouble seeing it,but anyways, I think it looks pretty good.

Well God of Hellfire I like the B sig better. And Angle your new sig looks very good.

Sorry god of hell, i meant the second one which is newer. Does anyone know anywhere good to upload sigs? The one im using im afraid will be out of use very soon

Yeah I think your new sig is cool Tayste!!
I can't see Angel's new one... :(

Thx, follow Kenshins link to see Angels sig. I would like to use Imahosting but all my sigs are of too much quality and are between 25 and 30 k.

In regards to Imahosting, I use them since they're easy to and fast, my sigs run around 50-60 KBs ,so I compress them ,and the still look fine,or atleast I think so.

got another new one......
(i think the link works this time....)

<p>Another New Sig ()</p>

My sigs are around 50k mostly, and if you want a good place to uploa sigs then I would sugest this site (http://www.netfirms.com). And I upload sigs using smartFTP but I cant recall where I found it o_O.

Info on netfirms and smart FTP can be found here (http://forums.ffshrine.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2135).

Kenshin, what program do you use to compress them? I tried using that site before.. the netfirms one but it was too annoying, i got no where after ages trying to register, i eventually registered then i need an FTP and i couldnt be bothered, too much trouble

Actually, once you got an FTP program and got used to it (which you will really fast) it's ideal. Much better than browser uploading, which goes much slower, and only allows you to upload a small number of files at the same time.
I use FlashFXP, and I love it. ^_^ It's an evaluation program, but it'll still work after the 30 days are over. It just adds a counter (starting at 1, and adds one second per two days - until it reaches 30.. after that, it stays 30), then counts down when you start up the program. Once it's at 0, you can connect.
So.. you have to wait half a minute before you can actually use the program, but at least you don't have to set the date of your computer to a month before or something like that. @_@;

I just thought it convenient considering Kenshin told me about it here.. =O

Kenshin could you pm me it thx.

Thx for that Flashfxp thing Rosiel ill have to look at that.

Hmm... *notices that no one is using the img code to post sig.... does the same as others*

Lets see... the latest one.

10/9 ()

This sig (which as of this posting is my current sig) was to replace the other sig that I was going to post (see next sig). In my ultra weak attempt in making a sig that was "light". It featured 3 pictures that were extracted and slightly blured and I used a bit from the Aurora Plug In that was provided by a friend. Slapped on a few Arial 2.61 text around the place, put a few more other touches and there ya go. Sig De Simple.

10/8 ()

The sig I made piror to 10/9, this sig had one picture, the background was again done by the Aurora Plug In, added scanlines and a shitty attempt at the bars.... sucked overall in my opinion, the only one that is keeping this from going into the trash was the pic itself.

10/1 ()

I call this a "Best of Both World" sig. Dispite it being high-techish for about 3/4 across the sig, you see a cute girl all the way to the right. What is she doing? She's warming up her hands in the cold cold weather that is my sig... okay, cheap story but eh. In case you didn't note, Dj MogK' is somewhat hidden in the middle, faded out a bit. This has some symbolism in it, meaning that Dj MogK' is still here.. he's just hiding out in the back doing his work (Mixing Music, DJing, whatever, whenever.) The flashy stuff... and there ya go.... o_O

9/25 ()

This was kinda alright... then when I keep looking at it, it just started to feel all... &#@($&#@($&#@$... but an okay sig nonetheless.

I love those cute pictures.....

Those are really good sigs.....

I think they are very good, although i dont really like the blur you put into some of them. I dont like blur because it hurts my eyes. :D lol

And here () is my latest sig. Hope you like it.

That's a pretty good sig...
I like it....

Yours is very cute and kawaii, Neo. ^_^

And some new ones of mine:

Thx Renia and I like your sigs too. But the best sig of your 3 new sigs is the Princessa sig. I just liked it. The background looks pretty.

<table><tr><td>
I found an old dust-layered psd file on my computer.. Which used to be a sig I going to use. I finished it just now. ^^

I don't know how I did the effects 'n stuff. I know you can't see them, but looking at the PSD file, there are quite some in there. o_O;

War Of Genesis.. stuff (http://www.nymphonline.net/sigs/WogSig.jpg" target="-blank)
</td></tr></table>

That's a pretty good sig....
but i dont really like the picture you used, the effects are pretty goood, but i don't like the girl you used......maybe its just me.....

Hmm....I like WoG pictures, most are clear and colorful,well made,detailed and suited for using in a variety of things,if you WoG.....I wish more pictures were of that quality....

This () is my latest sig. I just finished it and I hope you like it.

Yus, some of those are quite prettiful but sadly I can't see Renia's sigs as I'm using the internet at my school so I can't access certain web-sites. I really want to as I admire Renia's sig making talents unlike mine ~_~

I have some new ones.......

<p>Sig1 (http://rinoafan.netfirms.com/CE's-Banner.gif)</p>

This is a sig i originally made for CE, but he didn't need it, coz some1 else was making it, so i'll show it here........

<p>Sig2 (http://rinoafan.netfirms.com/Final-Impact-banner.gif)</p>

This i made with no pictures, my first attempt, i don't know why i wrote Final Impact, i thought it sounded cool......

That's all for now, gimme your opinions, k.....?

I totaly love sig1 it's fantastic, well done. The 2nd sig (imo) is a bit boring but still good though so dont get me wrong.

here are some more sigs....i made......

<p>Sig3 (http://rinoafan.netfirms.com/Final-Impact-X.gif)</p>

This is another "Final Impact" Sig....i guess it's a collection.....
some may find it a bit boring though, but it's kinda eerie.....

<p>Sig4 (http://rinoafan.netfirms.com/New-Aya-Brea.gif)</p>

This is probably one of my favourites....(aprt from the one i'm using now)...I dunno why, but i think it looks pretty neat......

pls comment on them

I actually like your final impact sig alot. And sig 4 looks pretty good aswell, though I dont like it as much as the final impact sig.

What do you think of my new sig??

Hey that's pretty good.
And here is my latest ()sig.

It's cool ! I like it !! But I like your current one better

Back with more work.
Click me. ()
I think this is my best sig so far what do you think??

Looks pretty cool... always interesting to see how plain shapes add to design

Neo your new sig is simply FANTASTIC!!!

Here's a bunch of new ones by me.......

Sig 1 (http://enigmatic-angel.netfirms.com/Enigmatic-Angel-banner.gif)

Sig 2 (http://enigmatic-angel.netfirms.com/Another-angel-banner.gif)

Sig 3 (http://enigmatic-angel.netfirms.com/fallen-enigmatic-banner.gif)

Sig 4 (http://enigmatic-angel.netfirms.com/yuna-enigmatic-banner.gif)

Sig 5 (http://enigmatic-angel.netfirms.com/another-non-picture-sig.gif)

Sig 6 (http://enigmatic-angel.netfirms.com/Yuna-enigamtic2.gif)

oh and the name is 'enigmatic angel" coz its another name i use on other foums...and i can't be stuffed to cahnge the banners, and thats all. comment pls.......

i know i may have put a bit too many on. but its all good.....

They're good but I think you shouldn't post so many sigs at one time because it's hard to comment so many sigs ...

Take a look a new sig made by me:

Click ME!! ()

I like your sigs a lot guys. Wonderfully done :D.

I myself am a sig maker ( not an active one :rolleyes: ) but here is my collection of sigs i made for shenx persona .


Made for the sig contest
http://shenxrk.netfirms.com/contes~1.jpg
The same
http://shenxrk.netfirms.com/ffacon~1.jpg
Same

the last


Oldie

The art of depression :D

Digital art ; no pics

More of my style :D

New idea , done in record time :D ( = crap :rolleyes: )

Those are very good!! Why did you stop doing them??

Here's () a new sig I made today ...

Look () ! I didn't stop doing them , I just don't have the time to do them :D . But here is one. ;)

Simple yet stylish ( i think :eye: )

Back () with more work after some time.

Here're my first three sigs....

Sig1 ()

sig2 ()

sig3 ()

Please give me your opinions:)

The one I like more is sig3 without a doubt...

just a sugestion... Change the font in your next sigs, it's always the same and is located exactly in the same places

the one currently in my siggy, but since ill change it anyways:

Heh, I'm finally able to see your peoples prettiful banners. I only saw a couple but Renia's, Neo Xzhan's, CE's and Kite's banners were pretty good. Great job you lot!

*Claps* To put it simply I was very impressed by the show of talent several people at the Shrine have when it comes to banner making, instead of my terrible efforts that I have yet to show off :(

thankies, Arwen. ^_^

Oh, I like your recent banner as well CE but some of the words are kinda blurry. Apart from that the saying on it is good and the image you put alongside it is pretty good as well. Since I can't make signatures I decided to post up a really easy avatar I did only I can't use it here cos it's in BMP format or something...

Anywayz, just post up comments even though the avatar will probably be really boring compared to the banner. Here it is... -_-

*poke poke* () lookey my latest sig.

Thanks God of HellFire...I catually worked on the third more than the other ones:D...And about the font..I'll change the whole style in my next sig:D

CE and Neo Xzhan....I like your latest ones:D...But I like the one you're using noe Neo Xzhan...Keep up the good work:D

Here () is my latest creation...

What do you think of it?

well.... I dont like it. It's to simple and kinda boring and I want to suggest to use some other pictures, just for variation.

I'd like too, and I search a lot for them but it's impossible or almost impossible to find quality Ifrit images... and my nickname is tottaly inspired in him as you already noticed...

yo
try images.google.com

Oh, I like your latest banner NX. The images in it are really cute, the colours you used are good and the text is noticeable. Heh, where do you find your good images anywayz?

I'm very curious... Keep up the good work NX! ^_______^

I get most of my images here (http://www.gamewallpapers.com).

look here's my latest work:D

I had hard time searching for the images.....but it came out good I think...tell me what you think:D

Heh, I tried going to that web-site link you posted NX in your last post but the web-site couldn't find the sort of images I was looking for. Oh well... I found the images I needed at another web-site anywayz but thankies nevertheless! ^_^

yay!

i made it 5 minutes go! ^^ what does anyone think?

CE: Your latest banner is pretty good but the text font and the other parts of it are sorta blurry. The image you used is quite kawaii. Good job!!

*Claps and hands CE some chocolate* =D

CE, u r good at that, *claps*

Ok Finally a new sig by me...

what y'all think of my current siggie?

Well,I like all your sigs,because I can look at it and see so many different things,they way everything fits togather is great,and blue is my favorite color,I like what you did with the text ,too,overall it's just great!

It looks REALLY GOOD AR!! I like it very much... I like it much more than the other one you were using...

I would really like if you people poste comments on my sig also (even thought AR's one is much better) :p

intersting colour u chose for that sig....blue.....

the pictures are hard to pic out at first but becomes more apparant as u look into it.....

overall a decent effect, but is still a 'wacky' sig.......

the pictures could be made less obvious to where they were joined......

and blue is just not the colour for 'God of HellFire'

thats all....

I dunno why nobody likes "wacky" anymore...

I like "wacky"!..

The blue colour was just for a change... Just to see how it would fit in IFRIT... Maybe the next time I'll put Green :p (eheh)
Who knows??...

Hellfire, you might want to try and deviate from tehs ame theme and style... Expand your horizons a bit :)

I agree with AR, all your sigs look pretty much alike, try using different pics.

Ok... I'll follow your advice... :PuppyDog:

It is more of advice Hellfire. It's just to make sigs more interesting like others we always use other pics for different sigs. Other pics allow different styles becouse some things look better on other pics etc.

Anyway here () is my latest creation.

im makin elemental sigs. this element is dakrness.. i make earth and fire and so on...

yay rikku kitty! Your so talented !!!

CE~~~!!! Who's the kawaii bishie in you siggie? Where'd you get the picture from? ;_;

I love that sig! It's got to be one of your best to far. =D

Wheeee tee hee! I forgot that we had this here! XD

Okay *points down to current sig* That is my latest creation in my line of siggie workage.

Yeah, so ummm.....what do you think? o_o'

*runs and hides*

aww Steffi the siggy is beautiful ^_^; it's so cute.
I love yer sig CE! the colour is great and I love the character you have in it. tis very nice ^_^x

Gawd how I wish I had sig talents like ya'll.... hmm once I make meh a siggy I'll let ya'll see it. ;) I practice a bit

EDIT: mwaha, and here it is!

http://ninetaildragons.netfirms.com/baby_DJ_3.gif

sweet and simple, just like me ;)

Majestic I must say your 1st sig looks very good. And the picture you used is soooooooooo kawaii ^_^. It is very good for a first attempt (better then mine anyway :P).

*points down*

heres the scoop, FuLL-TiLT is my punk band, and Dan is my name, now was that so hard?

the green is sexay =P

Look at my new sig HERE ()

Post our comments please...

Majestic Soul, I will have to say that your banner that you posted recently looks really ruley and kawaii. I suggest you should use it in your sig if you don't already but I can't see cos I don't see people's sigs when I'm browsing FFS for I am superior to everyone. Oh, and where did you get the image from your banner from? It's damn ruley! ^_^

Also, Rikku-Kitty I have already seen that banner that you recently posted up cos you showed it to me a few days ago and it's still very good. It needs text in it though but other than that it's great ^_^

*Claps* Yush, great job you two! ^_______^

I got extremely bored the other day, so I was experimenting with some colors and other designs and stuff on photoshop, trying to increase my Photoshop knowledge.

I'll probably never use this sig, but I figured I would at least show it off or something.



Mostly just me working with colors and stuff. The only real image in the picture is the girl, plus some eyes that I found on the computer. The eyes are really hard to see though.

I can't remember how many layers this was all together, but I would guess it was at least over 10.

Feel free to comment.

on FFF's sig:

There are too many colours and it makes the sig kinda confusing.......the picture used was pretty good, but the colour usage still spoils the whole sig.........

i dont know what you mean, the colours look fine to me.

Here's one I just made for someone here at FFS,I think they plan on using it else where,but I liked how it turned out,and wanted others to see it...

wakka wakka,ENJOY! ()

Ah just finished a new sig (), hope you like it.

Danial, please tell me where you got the picture of the extremely cute chick in the sig.

BTW, I absolutely love it.

And to Enigmatic Angel, the colors are suppose to be that way. The whole theme of the sig is kind of like a dream world.

I think you managed very good to make a dream sig, I love it FFF. Good work :).

I don't remember,it was a japanese site,I took what images I liked there,the rest were.......graphic.....so,I don't really know now,it was a month ago or more.

FFF, I really like that last sig you posted up. It's really prettiful and creative. Also, it fits in with the theme really well.

Yush, that's all I have to say on that. *Claps* Good job! ^_^

Steph: That is among your best. I like the dreamy colorful whirlpool effect. Very very nice job

Kenshin: the vectors on that rule, and it's a good sig... Again, just a lil boring, and the text is just a lil big, but other than that, hell of a job kid.

i am just saying that it looks strange and welll, i frankly don't like rainbows and different psycadillic (spelling?) colours.........but thats just me...... every1's entitlied to their own views........

ohh and what do ppl think of this crappy sig i made......

<img border="0" src="" width="355" height="89">

i'm always open to critism......

It's not bad, but it's too disorganized. Try to organize things, make them clearer... And I really think you should try a new font, and vary your sigs a little bit more. They are all too similar, like GoHF's stuff.

here's my latest

<img src=http://www.animarelic.com/tronik2.jpg>

I like it EA and your sig is great AR (like always...)...

AR I think everyone has his/her own style of making sigs... You like to make them with many things, really complicated sigs where there is many confusion... EA likes to do them in another way and I also have a special taste for Fire and Ifrit...
If we look closely to your sigs, they also have something that doesn't really change and probably if I see a sig made by you I know it was really made by you... I think all the sigs made by a person have a little of the identity and the tastes of that person...

At least that's what I think...

I don't mean any of it in a bad way. I mean, yes, we all have similar styles, but I'm saying, the sigs you guys are making... not all that much change in them. The similarities within sigs should be vague and general, not specific.

I've been trying to put my practice in, and created this sig tonight while wasting some time.



The sig itself, I love. *huge ego* XD Some people don't exactly like the text to stand out like that, but I like my name to be in lights. ;)

Anyways, comments?

@Triple F: I really like the latest banner of yours. The image you used is extremely kawaii and the background is quite prettiful. Yush, once again great job! *Claps* ^_^

that's a good one FFF, the colour harmonies i like this time......

and here's another one i made....
<img src = "">

this is a much more simple Sig....i kinda like it (*is egotistic*)...opinions?

I like that one EA, because of the background effectiveness.

yay! any opinions?


I have a recent obsession with Daiksuke Niwa, as some of you can tell. Even my site is full o him.

w00T~!! Heh, I'm on CE's latest sig if you look at it closely enough. Anyhoo, enough about lovely old me now on to CE's sig.

I really like your recent sig CE. It sorta look like Apoc's but that's a good thing mind you. Also, I like the images and quotes you used.

Yush, very spiffy and yup, ruley if you ask me. Yus, great job CE! *Claps* =D

Hey pretty good work CE they look great, well done.

My newest work... ()

I made it just for fun...

GOHF, the colours in ur sig are boring, mainly coz Gray is a boring colour, but the effects used are interesting.......and the background has some interesting colours in it, but the overall banner is too 'cloudy,' i.e. too much grey in it.....u should 'brighten it up' a bit....

And CE....your sigs are pretty cool, the broken picture and all, but they are two different sigs right?...but the writing is too hard to read......but it still looks pretty good......

My newest one is currently in my sig now.

That is a great sig Anima I like it alot. Though the red could be a bit more red imo. Nothing else to add just a great sig.

I'm trying to get some practice and stuff in for the sig contest.

Anyways, I created another sig tonight. It's roughly 17 or so layers from what I can remember. The only thing bothering me about it, is that the text looks darker than it did before I uploaded it. So that's my work for the night.



Opinions pleeeeeease. ^_^

That looks pretty good FFF.....but i think the text should be changed all together, apart from that, i really like this one, maybe coz of the super cute girl u put in it.....where do u get these piccys?

I like your dreamer type sigs Steff. It's a kewl style of yours. Keep it up.

Heh, I really like your last sig FFF that you posted up. It's really kawaii and ruley. Great job hun!

*Claps* ^_^

Weeeeee a new sig

Clickie! ()

It looks great

The orange text doesn't do it for me.

NX, I really like your latest sig cos of the interesting background and the kawaii image you used but like Anima Relic the text you used isn't the best ^_~

i just finished making this. kinda had a bit of trouble, but it was nothin'. whattya think.

Heh, I like the evilish image you used and the background looks really good. Keep it up RK! ^_^

RK, your sig could do with something in the right, like text or i dunno, but something should go there....otherwise its pretty good......

and ppls how's this new one i made......
New Sig ()

To Enigmatic Angel:

Just a word of advice on my side, which is my own personal opinion. When you use the same character over and over, it starts to make sigs look kind of repetative (if I spelt that right). Try using another character from time to time.

Otherwise, the sig looks good. Practice always improves skills.

my newest...

New Sig ()


ye i wanted it to look that way. i was just practicing. if i made it a sig, i would've used that room for text, i usually like using one image, too many images would make it kinda sucky. i liked the style you used on yours, just try using different colors other than blue, and use new characters, like tripplef said. keeep up ya work and dont give up. i like that background you used in your new sig, AR. the brushstrokes and everything that you used in it looks great.

This is my lastest that I created before I went to bed last night.

All comments are welcome.

:O


Brownie points to anyone that can tell me what anime Kamineko is from. Because if you know, then YOU = WINNAR :) Because it is the best anime evar. Well, maybe not the best EVAR but i still loves it.

GFX sig made by me today...
GFXsig ()

quite interesting, Hellfire...

I did YET another one today...

Heh, that's a very kawaii sig FFF. I really like the ruley images you use and the colourful backgrounds. Keep it up!

*Claps* ^_^

chris, thats your best sig yet. awesome style/color. keep it up.

Hey here's another GFX sig () I made...
Same style yet different effect...

here are mine, i hope ya like, the firsts one writing of 'Ishtar' the colour sorta bothers me but oh well, the background makes up for it, i haven't had too much practice with photoshop, but i think they turned out pretty well.

And here's my new sig....

SIG ()

comments are welcome...

here's another

<img src=http://www.animarelic.com/tronik9.jpg>

WOW Anima that is one kick ass sig. Its fantastic. Your best by far.

Yeah!! I agree with NeoX...
That sig is REALLY AMAZING!!

Yeah, I quite agree with everyone else, yo' sig kicks ass! XD Way to go AR!


Hey, my sigs aren't working, anyone else have the same trouble? I think it's netfirms...:eye: :notgood:

Yup, it's netfirms...
I'm having that problem too...

I'm actually liking this better...

<img src=http://www.animarelic.com/tronik10.jpg>

I like the other one better....

Alright, made some changes...

<img src=http://www.animarelic.com/tronik10.jpg>

Damn, why didn't I think of this before?
Oh well...here is my sig as an attachment
It even kinda matches my avy

I made a new siggie after quite a while.
Click me :P ()

not bad neo. The background is a bit too spectrumish, and I don't like your typo at all. It's decent though.

*points to current sig*

Not a permanent name or anything, but something temporary. You know how people have to go through changes from time to time.

Anyways, I know it's not my best, but it serves the purpose it was suppose too.

I actually like that name... Works better than Final FAntasy Freak...

Edit: Oh yeah, duh, comment on the sig... Forgot about that. It's pretty good, but I think the typo is a bit hard to read, eh? Maybe another run of red glow would be sufficient. Other than that it's wicked girl.

I'm gonna double post... sue me...

new siggie

<img src=http://www.animarelic.com/parasite.jpg>

Heh, Neo Xzhan I really like your new sig. The background is prettiful and I didn't notice any typo. Also, I liked the image you used.

Now on to Black Rose's sig.. I liked the images you used and the background but the text needs to be enchaned slightly. I like to read the words that are on sigs.

*Shrugs* Must be just me.. -_-

http://www.neo-enigmatic-angel.netfirms.com/Gfx-Sig.gif

my newest sig.....comments?

Mmm.... Enigmatic Angel, I think your old one is much better ^^

This is my first time to show my sig in this thread so please...comment? ;_;

Do you think I should change into this one or not?

Iria ()

i know the one i posted isn't that good, its just an experiment....i messed with the blending......and that happened.....so it wasn't going to replace anyhting.....

anyways, onto ur sig Maestro.....

Its a bit too small for my tastes....but it still looks pretty nice....maybe its just me but the main face on it looks like its pretty bad reso.....

i dunno if u should change though, the one u have now is pretty cool...

Maestro: I like it, just a little pixelated....

Enigmatic: That sig is awesome that you just did. Probably the best I've seen from ya... But I think even though you faded the outside, you should put a dim BG in there.... and have it like brighten as it comes from the corners... Other than that I like it a lot.

Yush ~

Thank you for the comments Enigmatic and AR .

AR: Wut's the BG u mention.....? I am such a n00b.....

heres another i made......



another experiement....

Enigmatic, the sig is really cool, I like it ^^
Nice work!

Latest work comments are welcome.

Lots and lots of great sigs here. Great stuff :)

this one's not to great, but whatever... Rate and hate

Hey I'm a newbie when it comes to sig making, so I need all the criticism I can get. Tell me what you think about these.

http://members.optusnet.com.au/~vickersspencer/mypic45.jpg

An original Amano sketch of Sephiroth with the Latin Lyrics to 'One Winged Angel' in the background.

http://members.optusnet.com.au/~vickersspencer/mypic46.jpg

Id from Xenogears with the lyrics to the ending song 'Small Two Pieces' in the background.

http://members.optusnet.com.au/~vickersspencer/mypic49.jpg

I'd like to think of this one as a challenge of sorts, issued by RikkuKitty, she believed that you couldn't make a decent sig from the Amano sketch of Edgar, I tried to prove otherwise XD That's Figaro Castle in the background.

http://members.optusnet.com.au/~vickersspencer/mypic48.jpg

One I did for a friend, from 8 Mile. It depicts a 'battle' between Rabbit and a Free World gang member. The lyrics to 'Lose Yourself' are in the background.

One I made for Ultima Weapon [Fudge_Puppy] he didn't like it though.

okie RS lemme look at your banners...:

First Banner:
It lacks a decent background....I suppose that the text is meant to be your BG....but it really just isn't enough......i dunt really like your picture choice either....maybe some graphical type of backgound and have the text smaller and slightly blurred?...I really dunno know....but a better BG is defiantly needed...

Second Banner:
The colours are waaaaaaay too boring.......just black and white?.......needs more colour (so does the previous one......), and it suffers from the lack of BG problem as well......

Third Banner:
I just dunt like the picture choice here, but i guess it blends into the BG rather well.....but the BG shouldn't just be a simple picture.....

Fourth Banner:
I hate the picture used......eniem is a jerk......and i think the lack of BG is another bad thing....

Fifth Banner:
okie its getting better, but still there isn't much BG is there? I mean, its just Sora stuck upon the Tarzan pic already with the forest.....rite? Again make a better BG....

So altogether, you just need to make your own Background (BG).......and have interesting effects...which can be found in Tut's all over the net....

and I am sorry if i seem a little to harsh, i KNOW you are starting out, but its good for you to get a little crictism isn't it?

No, the last one is 3 pics... The background, Tarzan, and Sora... Also I need ratings not on whether or not you like the pictures but on the actual quality.

as sed (or hinted).....i dunt like them because the lack of BG makes the Banners low quality.....

"Third Banner:

Fourth Banner:

I don't really think that Eminem being a jerk should influence your decision, oh well... Anyone else got any comments and critisicm?

eh, these sigs i didn't really aprove of.. but i'll just post it here for the hell of it =P

Hey Rikku-Kitty, your first sig as not approved sig by tou for the sig makers contest isnt it =P.

I like the second one, I dont know why itt has something that gets to me.

These are two sigs I made for BellaMuerte what do you think.

She chose this one over...


this one...


I like the kuja one better two, there was somthing unappealing about the pine one.

Neo Xzhan: The image you used is kawaii and the background looks good. The font could be more bigger and clearer though but that's just me -_-

Rikku-Kitty: The 1st sig was ~okay~ but I felt it could be better especially since it's probably your sig contest thread. The images you used were good though and the background worked fine for the contest rules. As for the second sig it needs a few improvements here and there :X

<img src=http://sinistral.netfirms.com/sad.jpg>

Latest sig.....

Prettiful siggie Neo Xhan/Sander. I think you should use a new image as that's one getting a bit old but it's alright. I like the red background and the text is easy to read (for once =P) ^_^

Yush, keep up the good work =D

This is a sig I made for someone at another website I go too. Please give your opinions. I kind of with I went with a different or darker text, but I still liked it.


As for San's sig, I like it, but it seems a little plain compaired to some of your previous works. Good none the less.

Steffi, the URL you posted in your latest post didn't work. What a shame.. I was hoping to see some more work of yours ^_^

That's my oopsie. I added something I shouldn't have.

Anyways, it should work now. :P

Another great siggy by Steffi *claps* :D

Neo, I don't like that sig very much... too boring...

Yeah, it does.. Good sig~ I really like the winter theme protrayed in it ^_^

Yup, very prettiful =D

triple F:
Thats really a nice sig......*claps....*

<img src=http://sinistral.netfirms.com/chobits.jpg>

My latest sig.

This would be my most recent, which is also shown below as the sig that I'm currently using.

BTW, excellent sig San. =^o^=

my netfirms won't work, so i'm gonna have to attach it... stupid netfirms *kills* As for the sig i made, i could have made it alot better.. it's not what you consider my "best" Nice sigs steffi n Neo.

Thanks Steffi, your sig is very kawaii =^o^=

Chikage....as you sed the sig could have been don a lot better, and i agree...something needed to be added to it...

and NX...i have alrady sed that your sig is great....and i still think it is...

and Triple F: i think your sig is great as well......the characters are really cute and the effect used was pretty interesting as well..

Neo Xzhan: Kawaii siggie Sander~ I really like it =^.^=

Triple F: As for your siggie Steffi I really like the prettiful blue background and the kawaii image you used. Great job~ ^_^

it took me awhile to fix a few things here and there. I think i should've fixed the font better and add a 1 inch border... whatchu think?

Chikage, that is mcuh better......it looks better this time....much more interesting....

This my first siggie, should i continue? should i rot for making this?? is it utter crap?? is it good or even great?! please tell me!!:D

Of course!! You shall continue making sigs...
It's really cool, you just need to train a lot...

Newest work made for a big friend of mine...

Ann, I like the look of your latest sig that you posted up. Fits the earthy role perfectly and the image you used is good as well. Keep up the great work! ^_^

thanks!:Dyeah i agree with ya i do need some training..I'll have to ask my freind Cygnus for some help..:p

New sig made by me...

Wotchu think, eh?

Ann, I will have to say I like your idea of having themes for your sigs. It makes your sigs quite interesting. As for your latest sig it's fairly good but the font could do with a change as it's a bit hard to read, no offence =_=

I made a Mechwarrior sig and I plan to try and post it in my sig box...

Yeah, I was bored, made a new sig. Nothing like I normally make. Just fiddling around.

I'm half awake, so I'll probably regret it in the morning. :P

Anyways, yeah, there you go. I sleep now. z_z

Chikage: I really like ur sig.....but Autumn is right......u should make the text clearer.....

Gogetta: This is sig pretty good as well.....

and Triple F: i dun't really like it....i mean its interesting.....but just 'not-my-cup-of-tea'......

I'm not sure that I like it myself. xD

Anyways, maybe this is an improvement from my last "work of art" xD

That looks much better FFF....

Good job!

ooo! i like it FFF.very nice.:) while i'm on the subject anyone have a idea for a new siggie i should try and do?i can't think of anything i'm kinda stumped...:erm:

yeh i think this one is much better....and it looks really nice......

yay for Triple F...

hmmm i made this one a few days ago, and i didn't get a chance to show it.. whatcha think?

hey that's pretty good Chikage....

the whole fun has a really 'soft' fell to it......is nice.......

*claps*

i like it chikage. but the girl there is bad quality. its not your fault though, its the pic you used

it lal looks good. but the bars on the top and bottom dont really go good. i would take them out, and it will look better

Real cool Triple F, I'm wondering what the big black thing is but it's irelevant as far as I'm concerned. Good background and nice blending.

Way to go RK, nice job it fits its' description of "heavenly" nice fluffy background and good border.

I made a starcraft sig

Edit: There be hidden thing in me sig o.O Freaky half dead protoss guys and mutated zerg women o.o

the typography blows. download some better fonts. and the maroon font doesnt go with the green background either. i think you should just stick to horizontal scan lines..... :rolleyes:

the background is alright. green doesnt look too good though. and the scan lines are too dark....

Gee:erm:..your real you forward about it. But i think Gogetta did a good job. I've only done one so far as u can see below..it was my first.. I'm sure with a little work he could have made it better but you really don't need to be so harsh. Next time how about being a little more nice about it.Oh and anyone feel free to PM me anytime. Tata!;)

Gogetta- Everything leaving the font out is good ^_^. Sigs don't have to have an image to be good. But images DO make them more interesting. Anyways, keep up the good work, gogetta, you're getting better!

Bell- Hmmmm the images are kinda too stretched or deformed.. It's kind of plain and the font is boring. But that's alright, keep on working ^_^/

you obviously havent seen me when i dont like something, or when i'm in a bad mood.....:eek:

anyway, yur sig is good. only for your first that is. everyone starts somewhere, and sadly i started very bad. but if you've seen my work, you'd agree i got alot better. anyway, good job and download some fonts (www.dafont.com) and check out some tutorials for your program. www.spoono.com is what i recommend. now just because of their tutorials, but because of their links. and dont be afraid to fuck around with your program and learn new things.

Chikage, I really liked the last sig you posted up. It's really prettiful and it suits the theme of heavenly perfectly. I'm being honest when I say it's your best sig yet even if it's probably quite simple.

Vivi-yes i have seen ur work and it is good. thanks for the compliment on my siggie,oh and thanks for the sites.

Chikage-yeah i will work harder next time..yeah i need some better fonts..i'm working on that,i just decided to work with what i had..hmm ur right about the imaging.:eye: but i'll definitly keep going with making siggies! maybe my next one will be better..hmm..:D

Gogetta sig revision.

I deleted the old sig I made and revised it so here it is.

Edit: Come on people say something...it can't be that bad...o.o
Can it? ;-;

oooo! its deffinity better. i like it!:D its deffinity a improvment..u've now inspired me to go and make a Gohan siggie! for he is my favorite dbz character...;)

o.O
Made a garnet sig as well...thought I'd post it...

oooo. ok! i'll try a Garnet siggie, but once i finish my Gohan one i'll try a Garnet one.Wish me luck!;) oh and ur Garnet siggie was good i liked it!:D

gogetta, first one is okay i guess. i'm not a fan of borders. to me they look n00bish and out of date..... anyway, the fonts good. but it doesnt go to good with the fire in the bg. the text effect is nice though (underneath the typography). the big thing that makes me not like this sig is the uctting job. i dont know if you added it, but the glow effect on the dragon ball z guy sucks. it doesnt look good at all. glow/satin/shadow/bevell and emboss DO NOT look good when you use them on people like that. well, maybe a few exceptions.....

i like the second one more (garnet sig). the boreder looks better, but like i said, i'm not a border fan so i dnt like it. the typography goes good. its hard to make girly fonts match, but it looks good. maybe if the font was a lighter color it'd be better though. the bg is nice too.again, the glow effect on granet doesnt look good.... thats all i would really change. and maybe the font color....

i see that you are going through the "scanline-stage". where eveything looks good with scanlines. try not to use it alot, people well think that your too repetitive without trying anything new....

i made it the whole post with out being harsh..... yay me.... i'm sorry if you took something the wrong way, cuz i never meant to say it like that......... :D

EDIT:okay.. there you go.. stupid netfirms >:/l

uhhhh.....:erm:

Great sig Chikage/Ann. The image you used was good and the writing in the background looks pretty good as well. Keep up the great work!

Chikage i couldn't see ur siggie..:( the link didn't work for me..

My latest work.

O.O
*worships the blue color*
*_*
Very very good NX I like how you blended it together and I love the blue color, although, you may want to move the text so it's not so close to the border, it's a little hard to see. *claps)

Among some of the sigs I've been hiding from public is this one...

oooo!Neo Xzhan i like ur siggie its great!! i really like the chick she is cool,what anime is she from?? and is the guy from X?? sorry for all the questions...:D oh and Gogetta i like ur Link siggie its good!;)

Neo Xzhan, i guess you did a good job blending two pics..... :rolleyes:

seriously now, the border is good. font is good. nothing else going on though

Gogetta, border looks bad again. even thoguh last time you were offended by me saying that... when it does. so you should go easy with borders. and scanlines are too strong. your sigs all seem to be the same, except for the background and pics... you should try new stuff....:o

Oh, prettiful sig Neo Xzhan/Sander. The images in your sig look fairly spiffy and the blue theme really suits it. Apart from that the sig is a bit plain.

It could do with a border perhaps? Apart from that good job. Where on earth did you find the image of that chick in your sig though?

yes please do tell! were in hell did u find that chick?!:D

Magus Sig
Yeah...

Gogetta- that sig is alright.. the blinds on it in the back are just a little annoying to look at. The font needs to be better; make it so that it's readable. Do you use paint shop pro? If so, you should get Adobe Photoshop instead.. it's alot easier to work with. PSP is a good program to make yur first sg, but after awhile, you'll want to use a program like Adobe Photoshop so you can advance your sigs. And no.. i'm not advertising.


*points to her sig* what you think?

EDIT:

Okayz... here's the sig that WAS the one i made..

Ayane/Ann your new sig is good. The image you used is kawaii (as always), the colour theme is interesting and the text font you chose is good but your background is a bit boring..

Heh heh...
Which part of the text can't you read? Cause the bottom text is in elvish, so if you can't read it I'll tell you what it says. "Play with fire and you get burned..." I do think my name could've been done better though now that I look at it. Since no one seems to like scanlines I'll just make some sigs without scanlines. I do have Photoshop 7 and it's what I use. I don't like PSP that much.
RK a very good sig indeed. A good background and a very...interesting font. Nice dots.
Anyway
Made a new Rikku sig.
I'm just wondering what's up with the glow? What do you people think? Vivi doesn't like it, but I do. So I want some more opinions before I do anything rash...

Edit: Posted on RKs sig

the glow looks boobish. and why would you take that offensively. your rikku sig is okay. the BG doesnt looks good with the pics though

Kasumi, i love that sig. its wicked. the chick looks cool too. and the Bg looks good

No scanlines and no glow, this pic took a few seconds and an IQ rating of less than 2...

it looks better then the rest. the others look too n00bish

hey this is my newest siggie!;) i'm currently working on a Gohan one but i'm slighty stuck..but maybe after that i'll do a final fantasty one..hmm...:D

Belle..your sig is pretty crap, wait can't say that......

well it really isn't that good.....I mean the piccy is tooo blurly and it is just overly dark and pretty boring as well......

oh i am refering to the sig in your sig box, as there isn't any other sigs attached.........

i am sorry to be harsh, but i speak the truth.....imo anyways...

oh and BTW....check out my new sig:

yeah...ur right..i knew it was too blurry but i couldn't fix it and it was bad enough trying to size it, it was being a ***** once again u are right about it being to dark,etc...:( damn...oh well at least i still have the other one i'm working on maybe that one will come out ok...:erm:

I made a signature of my main character in my book, Renshin.
I thought I might as well post it up...
*evil sarcasm*
Oh no! Not borders! And! What's this! Oh my! O_O Not *gasps*...glow and strokes!
*evil Tony Clifton laugh*
Gaaaah! Gaaaah!
*Andy Kaufman voice*
OhhhhhKay!
*end of evil sarcasm*

Edit: I was hoping the lava bg would balance out the fact that I've only scanned one pic of Renshin x.x, guess not...

:eek: oh my..someones excited..its a good sig..:o but its kinda..uhh..its kinda boring..and a little plain...but other than that its a ok sig.tata;)

actually thats the only part that looks good. the rest is completely noobish. i've said it before, and i'll say it again, borders and glow suck.

I think he's made it pretty clear that he doesn't care! I think it looks good, better than most anyway. Keep up the work.

here's my newest sig!:D i just hope this one makes up for my last one..:erm: well here it is...tell me what ya think..;)

I kinda liked your last one better than this one, the writing's hard to read, the font hurts my eyes. The backgorund's also kinda plain and isn't very interesting. HOWEVER, keep it up, you'll get better every time.

well thanks..i guess...do u mean the Uranus/Neptune one or the Galaxia one?:confused: well maybe i'll fix it and then see how it goes..hmm...but right now i'm going to try a final fantasty i think..Gogetta thought i should do a Garnet one after my Gohan one so i think i shall!:D well i hope ur right maybe i will get better as i go..:) but i kinda thought that this one was my best by far...or was it..

well here's the Uranus/Neptune one again.. i think it is at least less blurry now.. other than that i guess it still needs a little work...oh well..

still way to blurry. what program do you use to make/save it?

Originally posted by Vivi

I thought so..well I use Microsoft Image Composer. Then I when I'm done I save It as a JPEG (.jpg) so I can make it a link, and so on.

you deffinetly wanna download a program like Paintshop Pro 7 or Photoshop 6 or 7 off Kazaa. they have good features, plus you save them as bigger files so they are clearer....

Although It's nice to have higher quality, what most people don't know is that to upload a sig onto Imahosting the file must be no more than 20k, making it very hard to keep the quality high, obviously.

I made a new sig, Trigun. I don't know why, but I don't like it... -.-

Originally posted by Gogetta
I don't know why, but I don't like it... -.-

maybe because you keep using the same fire bg which is very repevtitive and the typo doesnt match. although i'm glad there is no glow or border....

I made a new Vegeta sig
I like it a whole lot...I'm very happy with the way it turned out...

u mean buy a legit. copy of PS don't you, Vivi?

anyway...
here's one (i hope)

nope. i meant off kazaa just like i said

EA, like the enw sig. perfect amount of blue. border looks alright for a border... font looks good.blending is good. a nice and simple sig. i like it

gogetta, i'm gonna stop saying anything about yours since you just take it offensively and pm with a huge speech about shit that you speant a few hours on to write....
