You're nothing but a ratings whore, Thursday.

I really like the overlay, which makes the blacks look faded (a reoccurring theme in your graphics). You consistently pull that off with prestige. The cursive text fit sin perfectly, but the text right of that seems a little too crisp and thus sticks out, but it's not a big deal. There is a decent color balance overall, but the purple is too saturated and covers too large an area for the light green to counter. There are some jagged edges, especially around the hair, but it's not a big problem and isn't obvious unless you really look. The dashed line is a nice, subtle touch and is placed well next to her finger. Another clean, beautiful work. 8.5/10

Edit: Forgot I put this new sig up. Inspired by BIHQ, it's a really rare step into the field of PS brushes for me. I just picked a bunch of random crap basically.

Abel, your avvy made me giggle inside the first time I saw it. I kind of did a double-take on it. Good works there

I really like your sig, too. It seems very complex and messy, but still coheesive. I totally don't undersand it. The only thing that throws me is that it looks like only some of your letters are stroked, and it just doesn't sit well with me. It is probably the most unique sig around right now, though 9/10.

The thing that separates your sig from other anime on rendered backgrounds is that it actually is mixed in quite well and looks really nature in its element. I'm glad you decided to make the character reflect its environment by adding the blue tone to it. The text could be better though; I would have chosen a different font and perhaps lowered the saturation. Actually, looking at your avatar, I might have just used that same font/color for "Angel." 8/10

Abel, your sig is quite grunge in a nice way. The style you have in it is unique, I've never seen anything quite like it. Not really sure what else to say. 8/10.

The Imalia sig is excellant, I love the dark and grey theme to it. Combined with the style of text and the stock, it looks very good indeed. They go together well. 9/10

The War Council of Seven sig is simple but it looks good. Simplicity can often make an image stand out. 7/10.

Generic sig/av set. Nothing original. Skill is visible. Makes me think that you change it all the time, don't you? Words added, they don't mean much as far as I can tell. You should consider changing that to your name. 5/10
