Not bad...a good vote from me for the Kingdom Hearts theme, and the general flow of the artwork itself. I'm not sure how you did it, and I don't really care, for it is appeasing to my senses. Good job.
Not pro? Bah! That first one is one of the best-looking banners I've ever seen!
I applaud you.
They're very good. You've balanced the images, colors, text and effects very well. Kudos. ^^
pretty good
The only part I don't like is the text - work on getting your text styled right and you'll great. The rest is awesome.
hyper how do you get that cool text on yours?
The only part I don't like about them is that it is all just different shades of the same color. Seems boring. :/
But otherwise, I like the overall look of them. KH artwork is always a plus. B)
[COLOR=DARKORANGE]I absolutely love the first one. Phenomenal.[/color]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=Black]I like them a bunch. Absolutely great for a beginner. 2 thumbs up![/COLOR][/FONT]
I just made a sonic sig.. I wanted to experiment with something like Hypers sig (sorry hyper if you dislike i'll delete it) but adding a border and using a different technique of abstract.. tell me what ya think even though its not as great as hypers. it is still uncomplete but i'll finish it later after i'm done with my homework.

I like the background, but thats it with this one. The bevel is pretty ugly, reduce it or replace it or something. And the text needs work.
Haha, alright thanks. Anyways.. Is there a way I can change the title of this thread? Now that it is more than 3 so far and I'm going to contiue making some after I'm done with my homework.
EDIT
-------------------------------------------------
Done with my hw and heres the revised Sonic sig. Tell me if ya guys like and comments and tips. I'm still tweeking with the font so feel free to give suggestions. Tell me which looks better. Please and thanks!

The first one looks great. Add a stroke to the text, though, so it stands out. That or make it white. And maybe a 1 pixel black or white border around the entire banner. A big improvement.
honestly, i tried photo shop and all i could do is make a glow like writing......im a disapointment :(
Well.. Heres a post of my progress so far...

Though it is still imcomplete, do you people at vgc know where I can find fonts?
[url]www.dafont.com[/url]
I usually find good ones there.
Maybe change the blue stroke to a tad darker shade, to contrast with the white that is behind half of it.
Good job on the Sonic banner. I'm especially loving the background. And the KH one is great, as well.
Hell, your banner is better than some moronic wanna-bes here. VGC commends you!
Just wondering.. Which size looks better?

The larger one meets mit mein approval. Very professionalistic.
hush; it gives off that professional aura with the image itself. I didn't mean the size makes it look professional if that's what you thought.
I like smaller ones, they look nice and neat.
New sig:

Next one is going to be abstract with grunge.
I really like your backgrounds. Are they all brushing, or a combination of brushing and filters, or what?
Um.. Most of them are a combonation of filters. But I usually start off my abstracts with gradient but mode set on difference. Sometimes I would combine different abstract backgrounds I make and then set the blending mode to soft light or lighten.
Ah, ok. So you don't brush usually?
Correct, unless I find a good tutorial with brushing,which is rarely, then I would usually combine that with abstract bgs.
Just made one.. Techish/abstract/soft grunge

Nice! I'll comment more later, on the phone.
I think I kind of improve from my original first post in this thread and my "newbie" work.
Edit:
Bigger version
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/auaintseennothinyet3copy.jpg[/IMG]
Anyways.. On this one, I used tech brush, abstract, and grunge.
Ok, now that I'm off the phone.
Yuna seems to be stretched a little, which makes it look weird as hell. The pixel font you used underneath the FlipBoy text should be reduced in size as its too big right now. Its stroke should also be reduced.
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/revised.jpg[/IMG]
Hmm.. I think I'm going to make a pure grunge next signature, I'm not sure.
Take the anti aliasing off of it as well. Pixel fonts should have it set to 'none' 95% of the time.
Alright. Thanks.
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/revised2.jpg[/IMG]
I do like it quite a bit. This last one above me is great. Keep it up.
Anyways, grunge isn't my thing, so I decided to stick with abstract. This abstract background is made of brushes. The font is the same, because I couldn't find any good font but, I'll still work on it, I'm just sleepy right now.
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/Arikku1.jpg[/IMG]
Do you use any tutorials for help when designing your abstract backrounds? If so, which one? Also, the one above me looks good except for the fact that it seems like there is an un-natural line over Rikku's left arm; It stands out too much.
I like it a lot. Rikku could be blended a little bit better but other than that, nice.

After all my most recent ones, I think this one is the worst. I dunno, but I might stop making banners for a while. This is because I just make them for fun when I'm bored and I probably won't ever use them all but bleh.. I'll still make some.
Yeah, you're right, the color seems a little off in that one. And man do you use a whole lot of blue.
OMG after a long time of not making sigs and staying at my cousins house for 1 week and a hectic schedule, I finally had time to make a sig. This is a different color, but I like it. I am going to change it a bit later.
Edit:I was going to post a different sig but meh.. I feel that it is not ready. I am also going to edit the FLiPBoY text.
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/amajorasmask.jpg[/IMG]
Edit Edit: Heres a different text
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/amajorasmaskcopy1.jpg[/IMG]
Majora's Mask, nice!
I like the text on top, personally. Well done. MM rocks. :cool:
Geez.. This sig took so long, I won't even bother fixing it anymore. At first, I thought it was going to be a day at the beach but it wasn't. The reason for that Zelda video is because I couldn't find any Majora's Mask, or atleast any good ones in .mov. >_<;
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/zeldaanimated-3.gif[/IMG]
Edit:
I fixed it
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/zeldaanimated-4.gif[/IMG]
Oops
Edit: Will post fixed version.
Edit Edit:
I like how you add the videos in. The cloud one looks a tad off, although I still like it. The Link one is excellent, though. Definitely don't stop making banners. Ever.
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/FFXII.jpg[/IMG]
Meh... I have no more time to make sigs.. School is time consuming.. I tried to show more of the character, so it doesn't look like she's picking her nose.. Oh well. I multi-colored... The person is Ashe, from FFXII.
Edit: Different Lightness/darkness
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/FFXII-2.jpg[/IMG]
Super Edit: Different color and style of multi-coloring other than the 'clouds' way.
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/FFXII-3.jpg[/IMG]
Sorry to double post, because I need your guys opinion and my thread won't get bumped up so.. Which one looks better?
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/test2.jpg[/IMG]
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/test.jpg[/IMG]
Ooo, I really like this one. The one with the character is good, but maybe flip your name to the other side.
there pretty good. Way way better then what I can do.
New one....
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v77/FLiPBoY/comingback.jpg[/IMG]
Wow, big bump, but it's ok. Nice sig. Though the text is kinda hard to read.
I'd say it looks pretty stunning. Very nicely done.
