les miserable

Not sure if telling me that its miserable to look at or not...

Nothing yet?

id like to see your render or stock, see what you actually did

I see some quality issues
and the original kind of looks better
mayb read some more tutorials about signature effects

One question I have... Ive seen some really high quality signatures, but when I make one, you're right, it is low quality. How can I reduce the size of something but keep the quality the same?

make sure that when you use effects, they aren't low quality
its rarely about having to reduce a sig because its too big

What kind of effects are LQ?
