I made this a month or so back and will probibly be the next thing in my sig. I made it as a play around with thigns on gimp and eventually made it into an actual sig. Everything you see there was carefully done and the lesser light was to give it a darker feel as Hiei isn't a light character and the colours looked silly when in screen itself. Opinions and tips welcome but don't be too harsh. No ratings either.
It looks good but the dragn is so dark, it looks weird where the head overlaps the tail(i hope that made sense ^^; )
it needs to be brighter, well , i would make the stock smaller, and add some FG effects, such as clipping masks, or just anything, and put more color into it, don't just go with red, add some......orange, or some other color that works thas all i got
Everything about it feels low quality. When I made a habit of constantly saving and browsing Hiei's pics from YYH, I DID notice that picture, including its choppiness, depending on if you got it from a reliable site, or an anime shrine where it sugar coated it with extra effects. I don't think that adding that burnt effect to it to such an extent helped it. The fact that they are annihilated any distinctiveness to his Dragon behind him, it just made it look like an enormous, zigzagged blotch. The effects behind him need coordination to flow in the same direction, rather than being combined as a background, in hopes of filling space. Then, the stock could be shrunken by a bit so you can see that the dragon on his arm, and his 'head' are actually connected. In all seriousness - It just needs more work done to it.
