    I used fractals for this, but what exactly are fractals, and what is their exact purpose? CnC, please...I'm new at sig making, so I'll need it.

    These are both reall pretty and colorful, I like them alot. The first siggy looks a little blurry, just a bit. The second siggy is absolutely gorgeous but the writing is hard to see. The avvis look kinda plain next to them, but they are very nicely done too. Excellent work.

    Yes, you're right...I decided to keep the avatars with more solid coloring. I think that these stocks are amazingly drawn. I can't wait for this game to come for the Wii.

    Magnificent job here. Only thing is that the renders look a bit plain. Maybe a few gradients?

    Basically fractals are fragmented geometric shapes that can be split into parts and are used as effects in tags, photo editing, etc. There's actually a lot more uses for them not relating to creative works too.

    As for these new tags, great improvement from your last set. In v1, you definitely made the text stand out here, which was what you needed to work on in your last one. You can maybe make the text in v2 a different shade of green since it blends in a bit too much with the green of the background. I love the effects and fractals around the focal point on both tag versions. Although in v2, the little circular fractal at the top near his weapon looks a little bit unnecessary. Other than those few things, great improvement from before. :3

    As for the avatars, great job on those. A little simple, but very well done. ^.^

    That isn't a fractal, that's a lighting effect at the tip of the green flames, to make them stand out. If that wasn't there, then the tag would look a bit blander ,that's why I added a supernova at the reddish/violet part, also; to make it stand out more. Normally to give an image a lighting effect without the inconvenience, I'd just use a white brush close to the area where light would be, but since the sigs were done on a fractal background, I had not much options. One example of what I'm saying is my current signature's top left end, which isn't light, but it gives that impression.
