barbieq25 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 The clarity of the text & background. Both show just the right amount of blur to make them look like they are glowing. Many of your other works are too blurry & indistinct. It is ok for some elements to be like that to show that they are not the focus (background etc etc) but not the entire work. I like your avvie. The green part is very well done, as in there is just the right amount of colour & flame with a goodly glow. The text is still readable & I like the grey part at the bottom where the letters have already burned (ashy part). In all it is very well done & easily identifies you which is exactly what an avvie should do. I would say your best work to date. 1 Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry.

NinjaManDan21 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Thank you guys, good to hear that I'm improving. Hears the product of an idea I've wanted to do for a while but didn't know how to go about it. Shuriken brakes the glass on my sig!

barbieq25 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 New Improved ^^ sig and Assassin Sig (been working on since before joining the forum) Yes, the new ones here are much improved in terms of clarity but maybe some sig makers can give you more critique.

NinjaManDan21 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) @ barbieq yea for the assassin one i started at 1000x300 then scaled it down. Also whats the benefet of sharpen+ over sharpen? @ welshblue Yes thats polar inversion. I used it to turn the original Background to a sort of Ubisoft portal thing. "Star-gate, Ubi-soft, Sparkle" The etched idea is good. I'll try that Edited September 15, 2011 by NinjaManDan21 Quote Sig Battle Wins: 5My Gallery | Smoke>Flames Tutorial~96% of teens won't stand up for God.

TheHowler Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I like the ezio sig, good flow. Just wondered why it said Ninja? The only problen I have is how his head is stretched, looks a bit off. But great new addition to you gallery! Quote My Brick Wall Tutorial....|....My Gallery.......

NinjaManDan21 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 It's streched cause of the layer blend option. I couldn't fix it.

Assassin's are a "type" of ninja (killer's with sweet skills) Fair enough, still a good sig. And technically no, assassins are a brotherhood in the game, and in real life killers for hire. And ninja are an old japanese culture who usually lived in mountains and farmed for a living, albeit learning advanced martial arts, explosives and "magic". Although ninja could be hired as assassins, assassins are not necessarily ninja. And I'll shut up now, it's too off topic.

HELEN Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I like the sig very much, the text is a little hard to read (maybe make it a different color), but it's still pretty good. Good job on this one, too!

NinjaManDan21 Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 This one is meant to be more simple. Like the moon behind the text and the swirly (yes swirly) curse background need to be semi-clear. So I didn't want this as "cluttered" as my other ones. May make some more changes to it though.

HELEN Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Personally, I admire your persistence in trying to make your sigs better. A lot of users just quit and never post their work again. I love this sig because the character stands out VERY well from the amazing background. Love the colors, too.

NinjaManDan21 Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Thanks both of you for your input. @Howler Yeah for the "shadowy thing" I did drop shadow then I used Blurs / Fragment.

HELEN Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I like the second one better. If you change the text to a lighter color, it won't blend in with the background as much. Otherwise, it's a very good idea and you've done a really nice job on it.
