So I haven't played with photoshop for years now,
Decided I'd make a signature since it is popular here on jsp.
Lmk what you think, c/c welcome

Really?? No one will give me some pointers?

All I wanna know is if my work is Jsp worthy lol...
I might start taking sig requests if so...

My current sig took about 30-60mins.

I posted in your other thread...

Anyway, here's what's wrong.

Monotone.
2 borders, looks crap. Don't use borders for now.
Text is ugly and doesn't fit. Don't use it for now.
Low quality.


What you want to focus on getting down is composition (position, colour, lighting, depth).


/e: Also JSP doesn't have standards and people are blind so yeah, you're ready for the requests section. If you actually want to get decent though, stay around in this sub before even glancing at the piss-hole that is the requests sub.

how can I increase quality?
Thanks for c/c xD

First you can stop talking shit about other people's tags when you have no idea what you're talking about.

Not really an option.


You get out, what you put in.

gotta start with HQ stocks and resources, only way to end with good quality.

#1
Like the other guy said, 2 borders is just a nono, I would just try the top and bottom black borders or non at all.
#2
She doesn't bode well with the background try maybe learning some type of smudging or using c4d's and lighting effects rather than a picture faded out like that.
#3
The font isn't actually bad imo, but the placement is just not working, probably because you shouldn't even have that second border, i usually put the name relative to the center of your piece; which would be the girl.
#4
I don't like the dragon on the left side of the girl and her shoulders where chopped out, she looks like she is floating there and it makes it awkward.

There are a few things i would change and i am not an amazing gfx artist myself, i am fairly new and still learning but i have decent signatures i have made in my profile and ones i have sold which are better than the ones in my signature. However I am doing something right because i sell them relatively easily and people like them "most of the time"
Anyways it isn;t bad for a new artist and I am not trying to insult you in anyway, just friendly advice
Pm me if you have any other questions or would like too see my take on that sig with the same render or something

Selling things in the request forum in no way indicates quality.
If you want to get better, make a thread titled "Sig progression" or something and post everything you make, and listen to what the people here have to say.

ohello beautiful sig there

Another thing is images like the one you used have no action or feeling to them, which means you will have to create it yourself through the background. This is harder than just using something from the start that has action to it.
