I like it a lot. I've never been a huge fan of flashy or bright colours, but it seems to work well with that picture. Nice job.  |

I'll start with the good. Nice, standard sig size. Too many newbie graphics designers make 600x250px sigs, or something along those lines. The border also works well with the sig.
The bad, however, is mostly the ambient colours. It probably could be done well, eventually, but it looks half done. Also, the text isn't very easily read. Just duplicate the text layers to fix that problem, I guess.
Good attempt. |

You'll all learn that I'm a huge critic pretty fast. Here's my problems with it.
a.) Everyone and their grandmother uses that kind of background. Hell even I admit to have using it in the past. The difference being now I'm trying to break from the mold. I will admit, my current sig is not graphically advanced. However, it does have a distinct and very simple style to it. It stands out. Plus, the sig itself has meaning to me. You want your sigs to stand out and not blend in with everyone else. They identify you as who you are.
b.) The blur on Zack. On the shoulder and the hair it's just too obvious. Do you know how to use layer masks?
c.) The text. It's a transparent pixel font. It just doesn't merge with the image. Look at Lonely_Leonhart's sig above me. I'm not a big fan of the sig itself, but the job on the text is excellent. However the avatar is an example of what not to do with text. (Although I understand that text on avatars is significantly harder to do).
On the bright side, though. the sig is a much better one than a lot of crap that people make. I point out the bad because you post things in this forum for people to critique them, not kiss your ass about them. |

Finally some decent crit!! <3
Yeah I know the text is somewhat ****e... I've gotten to the stage that I can't be bothered arsing about looking for fonts around the internet so I'll stick to the fonts I have on my computer, and the faux pixel stretch is pretty much whored yes. But I'm just trying to experiment with colour since most of my tags are rather mono. As for layer masking, I actually don't know how to mask x_x
But you'll find that you can hardly "graphically advance" anything since really it's all been done before, most likely with a different stock and such.
Anyway thanks for the crit.  |

| I like it. Phil already gave far more intelligent criticisms than I would have, so I'll leave it at that. xD |

| I think the image of the character needs to blend better with the background. |
