I'm not one to properly judge since I rarely use Photoshop and other editing programs but I quite like the background/back drop of the sig, however I'm not sure about the picture of Sora on the right..It looks like it was just placed there? Also; what does the small text say underneath 'Dark Lycan' I can't really make it out. Well done though~
I like it....its nicley done :D The only thing I will say is that the lighting isnt amazing.....it kinda makes everything too misty and blurry. But other than that its great
Let's see....You definitely need more effects. I don't know how to judge sigs with two stocks, but I heard that it's VERY tricky...and I kinda doubt you did it right. I suggest getting rid of one of the stocks. The text is too bold and big when the stock should be more of the focus point and Jelly is right saying that the smaller text is unreadable.
Like eastercat said, using two renders can be tricky because in a composition, there's usually one focal point. But when there are two or more things being used in a composition, the eye can't concentrate on both and it makes the whole piece less appealing unless it's done correctly. So I think it would have been best for you to stick with Final Form Sora because it blends with the BG better imo. Everything else has already been said so I suggest that you check out some tutorials to learn more about making sigs.
kk thanks for the input and comments guys, and can anyone give my some links to some good tutorials please because all the tutorials on youtube are all like beginner tutorials and I want to learn some good techniques that aren't beginner based. also a special thanks to kelly for liking my background because I like it too.^ ^ oh and btw that other text besides the one that says dark lycan wasn't made by me it's attached to the render of normal sora.:/
But you are a beginner, dear. <3 these beginner tutorials should help you get a feel for your tools. It also depends on what kind of program you're using. For the most part, you need to get a feel for your composition. Think it over. What do you want the thing to look like. How could you get it to look like that? Also, I don't recommend using two stocks. It's harder, because there's no defined focal point(central image in the sig to look at)Specially not two images where one is 3-D and the other's a drawing. It doesn't seem to fit. Also, you can use the eraser tool to erase the letters in the sora layer. You just have to keep practicing, and soon you'll be making better stuff. It won't be overnight, but you'll start seeing changes for the better soon.
I assume you're using GIMP, right? If so, check out Gimptalk. You'll find a lot of good tutorials and resources for GIMP over there. If you happen to be using Photoshop, then the tutorials and most of the resources over there will still be helpful. Just a few things will come off as confusing because while GIMP and Photoshop are very similar, they also have their differences.
Best site for Gimp, no doubt about it. I used to go no there a few years ago and not only do they have great tuts, but also nice resources and friendly members. =] And we've also got some nice tutorials on here, there's a list here: http://www.kh-vids.net/showthread.php?50636-List-of-Tutorials But it's a bit outdated, I haven't updated it in a while.
Yeah, it isn't that hard to find tutorials...just don't do youtube ones...they're too slow in my opinion. Here's another list: http://forum.fallensword.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=89422
