    Some sig and Avi sets I made weeks ago, but didn't post. I need CnC and all that. Because lately tutorials haven't helped me on anything. The first two sets I made in mind of some members

    This one was for a member here. My thoughts on this one, I wanted it to be simple, but nice and warm looking.

    This one I made thinking of a member here. I think that the font says it all, but, yeah...I like this one, because it's not an elaborate character and looks nice in clearer tones.

    In this one the brushes dominate, there are no other effects used other than simple blending and nice smudging. It took me a few to make these, but at the end I think a nice depth was achieved with the brushes.

    This set was easy for the most part. I think my complaint with it was trying to stay in a lighter tone, which wasn't accomplished entirely. Overall, I think it came out fine.

    CnC, please? No, seriously. I need CnC...I've been reading the wrong tutorials or something...since I haven't used any in a while now, due to not finding easy ones to follow.

    I think that all of the avatars that you made turned out good. You contrasted them very well. Only thing is to try to make the ones with text blend better with the rest of the image. The last one is a tad too bright, so adjust the brightness on that one either with the curves tool, levels, or brightness/contrast.

    As for the sigs:
    The first one: Try to make the text more visible by using a different shade of that color if you like it. I do like the colors you used and you did a good job with using the brushes on the different layers.

    The second one:
    Same thing here regarding the text, you positioned it right over the effects so it makes it a bit difficult to see. I personally am not a big fan of the yellow bars, but I see that you were trying to separate the tag a bit and fill up empty space, which is a good thing. I like the smudging you did around the rendered stock.

    The third:
    Good job with the text in this one, you made it easy to see and the color works well with the rest of the sig. The wipe-across effect looks a little distracting as opposed to the others, but I think that if you eased up on it a little bit, it would look decent. I don't really like the red line below the black border at the top so maybe get rid of that since it interrupts the flow. Good job with the blur effect that you used on the right side of the rendered image.

    Fourth one:
    This one is very bright, it shields out the text almost completely and it makes it very difficult to see. Choose a different color for the text or bring in up to a top layer and set it maybe have a back-lit glow to bring out the font a bit more. You definitely filled up the required space to make a good enough sig, but the flow seems a bit off with the bars. Try some different colored effects and text and this one will look very good.

    Overall I think you worked very hard on these. I tried to give some decent CnC. x3 Great job, Breakeven. :3

    Thank you (^_^)

    In the fourth one I actually shielded the text from being completely seen on purpose. I thank you a lot for the CnC, I needed it. Now I know which things to watch out for and all.

    Oh I see, sometimes I have to ask people what they were going for. In that case, good job with shielding the text. :3 You are very welcome. (:
