Text and green bar on the left looks completely out of place.

The whole sig in general looks kinda overdone - not sure if that was what you were aiming for with the whole eighty layer thing... Metaphorically speaking; if you were baking a cake, you would not only burn the cake to charcoal, you'd set the entire house on fire and then cause two fire engines to spontaneously combust when they arrive to put it out. It's a complex monstrosity of peculiar sharp thingies basically.

Meh, now I feel a bit harsh. I guess it works to an extent, and the theme matches the style and whatnot. First glance it's sexy, but look deeper and it's like those optical illusions where you have to go cross-eyed to solve it. Is it one of those? Because if it is, I think I have solved it, the answer being...

...it has no border.

i don't just spend 10 minutes on a sig just cause i feel like putting some brushs slap on a render then a border with some text like some people here,i put thought and time into it to make it good,complete borders resrict the depth of a sig,it's the first thing you look at and keeps it from flowing off the sig(not literarlly but mentally)so i only use ones like the one on the sig i posted,and put my text there so it doesn't get in the way of any effects i have in the sig
it isn't an illusion,you look a it and admire it or say what you think is wrong with it
this isn't abouting baking cakes
overdone,alot of sigs here look way underdone
if your cooking food you don't cook it in 10 minutes then it eat cause it tastes like shit,and you don't spend only 10 minutes on a sig with the same thing every time,brushs,slap a render on,put some text and a complete border,cause it looks like shit,when you put time into something and do right you get a good result,or a tasty food to eat

I hate it.

I'm not sure what the elevator cables running through the entire thing are meant to symbolise.

The lighting is boring and monotonous.

The green bar is awful.

You haven't cut the c4d properly, so the green colour scheme is only green until a splodge of sallow background messes up the whole thing. Unless that was intentional.

I think you should've just spent ten minutes to put a couple of brushes on, slap a render over the top and mix it up with some text. It's like pixelized goldust. Honest.

Overall, I tihnk it's a bit cluttered. The green type on the side with "Wrath" doesn't flow. If you remove some of the layers of the background, I think it would look very nice. Personally, I thought Pein's eyes were red, not green, so that threw me off a bit.

Shyne-Bryght - November 28, 2007 09:30 PM (GMT)
Agreed, I don't like the use of clone stamping and copying chunks of the render that you do in your sigs, and the same goes for the crazy green slashes, doesn't look good in my opinion, just my opinion but the jagged-ness of the sig goes against my tastes, sorry. However the colours look ok, all fitting with a scheme.

i changed the colors of them to go with the rest of the sig

i didn't use that in this sig,i've only done that like 2 or 3 times

unlike you jcc making gfx is something i enjoy doing and spend alot of time on,i don't just open up ps just to do the same style everytime with a different render cause i'm bored :roll:

I think Refluxe summed up what I had in mind.

Excuse me, but wasn't that you not too long ago?

QUOTE (g-fox)

No, they stop it from clashing into the background colors of wherever you're displaying it.

QUOTE (g-fox)

and put my text there so it doesn't get in the way of any effects i have in the sig


Maybe not, but it certainly does draw attention.

QUOTE (g-fox)
it isn't an illusion


The mess of green goo suggests otherwise.

QUOTE (g-fox)

He was using an example, smart-ass.

QUOTE (g-fox)

Examples?

QUOTE (g-fox)

Unless it's Pot Noodle.

QUOTE (g-fox)

Again, I can recall you being like that, sir.

QUOTE (g-fox)

when you put time into something and do right you get a good result,or a tasty food to eat


Yes, but you dont exactly cook something and throw your whole kitchen cupboard into it for the sake of it.


Seriously, 80 layers means jack shit. It's never about layers, or even time for that matter. It's about effort. If I wanted, I can spend 3 hours on a sig, but if there's no effort then It's likely to look like crap.

g-fox - November 28, 2007 09:59 PM (GMT)
i do put effort in my work dick wad
yeah,i used to spend just a few minutes on a sig awhile back,why?cause i was new to gfx and what not,i had a pretty shit gfx program so i couldn't do much with it and back then i just wanted to get better,not just open up my program cause i was bored,to you and others it may just be alittle hobby to do when you have nothing else to do but to me it's important

Fairpoint, but your mum.

There's something that I did, I don't know, three weeks ago.

It was about 20 layers, and took a lot of work.

This is something that you did about two weeks ago.

It was about 80 layers, and also took a lot of work, resulting in two or three hours on Photoshop.

It's also far overdone.

I'm sorry if your vocation is hurt by us not liking the sig, but it is way too cluttered. And maybe you ought to step off the podium, my friend, because calling people dick wad who ARE much better at graphics design than you is a bit thick, not to mention will get you a warn.

Dani - November 28, 2007 10:08 PM (GMT)
Excuse me, you ask for Comments and Criticism, we give it, and you thank us by petty insults? Is it because your work sucks and you cant admit it?
Yeah, I fucking said it, because your persistance is starting to piss me off.

Seriously, get a grip asshole.

ADJ - November 28, 2007 10:11 PM (GMT)
g-fox, mate, if you ask for 'CnC', guess what you're gonna get? You've no right to be angry at people for telling you the truth, even if you did spend time on it. Enough of the flaming.

@Ben: Drop it.

My bad ^_^

I was going to type something constructive however I knew I'd just have my head bitten off after observing all the previous responses. So to sum up, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
