    This is the first sig i've EVER made, so please be kind with it. It's a pic of Black Star from Soul Eater. Played around with a few effects and then added text (though text could've been better). CnC would be appreciated tyvm.

    I'll try and be as kind as I can.

    You did decent for your first time ever making a tag and you do still have a lot to learn. One thing I'm glad to see is that the stock image that you used is good quality. The placement is off, it's never a good thing to put the image right in the centre of the image (in my opinion anyway). The main problem with this tag is that it looks really plain overall. Try adding some effects or brushes in the background and maybe a couple (not too many though!) on and around the render itself to help it blend in a bit more.

    I've never been really good with the whole critique thing but you did good for your first shot and I hope you keep improving more and more! ^_^

    For your first go my dear,it is not bad at all.
    A bit plain,in the bachground etc,but you seem to have done alright in using affects and the like.
    But the text.
    Oh no. It just looks like it was slapped on at the end,the colour is all wrong,it just makes the whole overall thing look,well,rather silly.
    But other than the text,it is not bad at all sweetheart.
    Good work~

    This isn't terrible for a first attempt, but yeah..it's not a masterpiece either.
    The render you used is of quite HQ and it is positioned nicely on the image, but it looks very boring and plain on just a black background. Try and pick colours that compliment the render for a background to make it stand out a bit more and make it look nicer overall.
    Also, the text just doesn't go well. It looks squashed which really doesn't help.

    Keep trying! You'll get better the more you practice!

    Your stock looks good, but it looks like it had a background with it right? I can see some small spots from where it didn't get erase well around the stock itself and in the upper left corner around the edge it looks like there some stuff there. Text doesn't seem to go with it. Color choice doesn't go with it. Background is plain.

    It looks good, but at least for me the text isn't very well... But the image is cool and what's written is great.
    I think it's great for the first one!

    1- you tried cutting black-star out, and in some parts that was not very good, honestly if you kept him with the background it would have been much better, honestly, since this is your first sig, you should wait a bit more until you try cutting a figure.

    2- the black ground is a black void, nothing more, you should try experimenting with backgrounds and colors.

    i do like the font you used, and this is overall and for a first sig great, all it needs are some tweeks here and there, nice job smurf~~
