I made this today. It's the first time I've messed with photoshop in forever, and the first time making a sig for jsp ever.
I know I'm not good at this, but I enjoyed my time making it. I'm curious as to what others think and would like some constructive criticism.
I'm still toying with the font and the Decepticon symbol. I know it sticks out like a sore thumb.



Let the slammeth begin.

Looks better than my first signature, but what's going on in the background?

Just a jumble of metal scraps that I changed the opacity on and smudged/blurred/erased/ect. All layered on a background made of different colors and filters.
Also another version of Megatron with the big red/orange eyes.
I didn't want to just use a stock photo for the background or something super plain, so I wasn't sure what to do.

Alright, just keep in mind that it's the background and it's kind of stealing focus away from the central figure which ideally you'd want to have as the focal point.

Ok, I'll try to rework it to not be so distracting.
Thank you for your input.
Anything else you'd like to add about the other parts?

People will only give you negative thoughts or they will troll you, eh. Few of em need to grow up.

It's not too shabby if you haven't played with Photoshop in a while though.

I figured that much, about the negativity and trolling. Jsp is very good for that. Hence my "let the slammeth begin" comment. :P

Thanks for the feedback. The last file I have saved from photoshop, other than the one posted here, is from Monday, October 29, 2012. So yeah, It's been a while.
This is the first I've done with rough edges too. Before they were always rectangles with solid borders.

I'm going to poke at this one a bit more and try to improve it. Once I do I'll post and see if it's any better.
