well, i'll just go ahead and pull out the big angry sword.

numbah one
::: the flames are cheap looking. maybe it's me.
::: the border looks like that green crap that forms on copper...or a peice of coral gone terribly awry... what is it?
::: the e that stretches on the bottom looks silly. if you want to underline something, underline it. lets not be cute.

numbah two
::: set your matte color to #240000 (i think) to achieve unity with this forum; the white jagged edges make my head hurt.
::: its' awful big. scale back, fireball.
::: the green text looks as though it was put there on an afterthought. not sure how i feel about it. same thing is true for the yellow text. and the black text, come to think of it.
::: i hate dropshadows. anyone that uses dropshadows on text should be shot--personal preference, not gospel.
::: i like the metal feel of it, but i initially thought it was rock, then oozy stuff. might want to clean up your intent a little more.

nothing to add, twItch^, other than ElGrande has used a LOT of 3rd party plugins. I don't even dare to name them here. ElGrande, why don't you fix up something of your own? Sorry, I don't wnat to bitch about 3rdpartyplugins, but they're so darn *cheap* (an'I don't mean the cost by that.)

jaggies...
is the only thing i say!

Yep.....jaggies, cheaplookingfilters, and WAY too big.

Ya, what they said, and if you stick with the metal look, add a metalic texture.

Try this one.
There are also lots of other "more complicated" ones out there.
-D

Well here it is........

well... imho... it is still a bit large..... and my overall opinion is one of disconnection... lots of different elements that dont seem to flow together very well... in some cases this can actually enhance a design but often it will just detract from the look....

I would try and ease of on your brush strokes, and also soften the bevels that you are using..... perhaps the txt part on its own might make for a good looking sig as a trans gif?.. just throwing out ideas....

look forward to seeing your next one!

~Vp~

it's WAY too big still, and there is just far too much trying to happen.

SIMPLIFY!

and make it SMALLER.

the text itself is not bad, and like vp said, may be good all on it's own?

Whatever the gold-ish stuff is supposed to be just is not working for you...I'd lose it altogether


Getting better htough.....let's see more

El_Grande: THAT´S TOO "GRANDE"

I keep having images of giant burritos pop into my head!!! Stop the insanity!!!

I say lose the whole metal thing entirely, I don't think it helps the sig at all. That green looks about as out of place as my sig.


Putting the Green back in Mean... er... wait... DOH!

YO! here my newest rendition...

hey el grande,
it looks pretty good. Nice work.

i guess i'm still missing the part where i'm supposed to be influenced into believing that is a metal texture. i suggest looking at a peice of metal before you try again.

Well twichty..not to be an ass or anything but i never did say it was supposed to be metal...now did I?

granted.

before i feel even more vilified...what were you trying for? it seems clear that you are attempting a brushed-metal texture.

Umm yea...what else could that be an attempt at?

I never said i wasnt goin for a metalic look but i also never said i was......i was just bein an ass, i get that way sumtimes. Specially this time of year, exams are next week.

but i did want a metalic look, but not just a squared off piece, i wanted sumtin that looked ripped out or melted maybe. i had the edges harder but the bevel was all wrong, and when i softened the edges to give it more of a melted look the texture in the center didnt look right for the theme, but i decide to stick with it anyway.. i had other more important things to get too. maybe sumday i'll fix it up.
