Blurry render
Bad typo
Boring composition
kinda bad blended aswell imo

see here's the constructive part we're all missing, if I were you and I were trying to be remotely helpful I would say something like :
The render looks blurry. If I were you I'd only download renders that are very high resolution and look clear
The type doesn't seem to match the feel of the sig. I'd try something a little more Gothic
The composition doesn't seem too exciting. Try *insert helpful suggestion here*
Also how did you blend the render in? It doesn't seem natural. Try *insert helpful suggestion*


But that's just if 1% of me wanted to be even just a minuscule amount of help.

I guess we all have different views of what is constructive, though I didn't know that it was a word open to such a vast array of interpretations


may I add that I started this shit like a month ago, and this is my first signature using those techniques

calm down

bye

So does anyone have any actually helpful things to say about the most recent sig i've done? I'd love to make it better but at this point it's the best I've done to date and I need some pointers on it.

No one can just tell you here this will make something being great, they can tell you what to keep an eye out for next time.

Basic run down on a couple of things you're doing wrong in 99% of these sigs:


Colours are way too saturated.
Stay the fuck away from animation. It never looks good.
Stay away from the requests forum, people there have no idea what they're talking about and what (artistically) looks good.
Stay away from popouts (borderless).
Use better stocks that are sharper, have better composition.


Read these.

Firstly, how is the part where you suggest downloading high quality renders constructive? Being said that render is blurry and quality sucks donkeys c*ck, i find it obvious that you do not download any more of low quality renders/stocks. Why waste time to type something simple in more complicated way? It is not needed.

Secondly, people are not here to spoon-feed everyone that jumps in. You can learn typography by browsing web for tutorials. Why would anyone tell you what fits your piece? You are the producer, you decide. Whenever you ask for opinions or criticism, people will come and tell you how they see something and what is turning them off. Not to tell you how you should work but which parts you could and should improve. Learning is up to you.

Learn composition. Search for tutorials about blending, colors, depth, rule-of-3rds. They are all available for you if you just took 2 seconds to look for them. Hobo's thread is up and there are many useful tutorials, all organized for easy finding. Don't be lazy, you got to work for what you want.

I hope that brings some sense to you. Don't expect others to do the work for you, work hard yourself and better results will come in time.
