Image Umbrella: Signatures and Avatars
Post your Paint.NET sig or av creations here!


Things to keep in mind:
- Keep in mind that signatures and avatars are very small; for instance, on this forum, signatures may be no larger than 500 pixels wide or 150 pixels tall, and avatars no larger than 120px wide or 160px tall. Anything that's too much larger should go under a different umbrella.
- Try not to post your image right after another user's. Allow some time for people to reply (or give an opinion yourself!)
- Utilize constructive criticism. Being mean is not welcome or tolerated.
- Try for criticism that's more helpful than "looks good" - say why. Say what works, say what can be improved. It'll make everyone's skills better (including yours)!
- By the same token, keep The Rules in mind. They will be enforced here just as much as anywhere else.

Have fun with your mini-art!

The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.
Amy: But how did it end up in there?
The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.

It's awesome! Probably (most definetly, completely, totally) your best signature/avatar combination yet! I think it needs some color, though.

As for the avatar... It's a tad fuzzy, some of the border lines and, mostly, the big white "swoop" look unfocused. They look fine in the signature, but at the zoom level of the avatar, they may need a bit of work. I wouldn't know what else to put into it, other than that. It's a great minimalist piece, very simple. Color may also help, as I said before. Nice job!

free hand. it started out as Jack White but it turned out really creepy... Cropped from the full image found here.

I made a sig to go with it, but I don't like it too much. Sending to image hospital though, and will post if I can get it better :D

In a similar style to my current ones I guess. Basically I really like the sigs you have made for other users.

It is very plain, but plain is good, especially in this case, I think the colours go together well, and also the linesblend in well and add interest. What do you think of mine two posts above?
