Kay lets begin, your spiderman is pretty cool. I like it a hell of a lot however the background is appalling.  Color flow is Terrible, no flow what so ever.  the background it self could be good  if you used the right colors but you don't so it is pretty bad. The render looks pasted in, I suggest you duplicate layer, turn the duplicated layer off, then try blending the original more into the background (use a smudge tool around the perimeter of him), after you smudge turn it to screen and it should be more with the background, after turn back on the duplicated layer and set it to softlight. then use a Gradient map, play around with it after that. Your text is terrible needs work. Rating 0/10. Good luck making sigs in the future.

Maybe some nice inspiration to fix your sig some, all by me :):

Exact same comment? the last one I commented on was just terrible and not smudging or color changing was going to save it without serious alterations, this one can be :). Though if you don't like negative feedback then you're never going to learn :).

Why do you even bother posting when you have nothing good to add :S. There is now floww, and the colors are pretty bad. The smudge doesn't fit, try changing the background color. Background looks like random brush hits :P.

Example of what you could do with that render if you get the right flow:

What is this supposed to be?  ;D You won't reach my level anytime soon.
As you see, my Mario sig is much more detailed and professional. And mine doesn't have an ugly watermark over it.

edit: I was talking about Silent's. Legendkiller's is nice.

Sheesh, your and Legendkiller's arrogance disgusts me. Sure your sigs are more detailed and 'professional', ie. they have way too many fancy details and the backgrounds don't fit the sigs at all IMO. Also I don't understand your comments about a so called color flow, in my eyes your sigs 'flow together' even worse than Silent's. I find Silent's simplicity appealing, of course it could use a lot of work but telling him to add more details or change the colors is not gonna help him in any way. The colors are his pick, and if done correctly I see no reason for them not to work.

I understand your effort to give Silent constructive criticism, but bashing him by giving his sigs ratings like '0/10' and trying to show how you can supposedly make way better sigs is just plain arrogance.

Okay, so color flow doesn't matter as long as it's simple? Go paint your wall the color orange, give it random paint spots of red, black, white and whatever else color you want and tell me if the room has a nice feel to it? That's exactly how I feel. If there is nothing good in a sig then why give it any positive rating? Hell if you want I could be like Raziel and totally call destroy his signature with comments, honestly it's not like I have never gotten a rating that is bad. If I go back to the GU forums maybe 2-3 years ago I have a couple ratings from Raziel where my work is totally made to look like garbage and you know what, I am happy now people like him even said all the negative stuff because now I am at a point where I am comfortable with my work.  But sure Sack I totally make fun of signatures for some good feeling?

Edit: I am also no professional as you say, my work still gets hard criticizing from places that aren't lxa, but you don't see me complaining anywhere.

i recently download adobe photoshop CS3 extended and i have to say the program is no walk in the park. I have figuerd out a few things but its still pretty complicated. I think critisism is good but i also think that ANYONE who has the guts to try to make a sig, uses there time to do it, and puts it on LXA for everyone to see desrves a pat on the back. Actually i think im going to put some of mine on here so i can get some critism and some help imporving my sigs.

I'm not sure if I quite understand what you mean by this color flow. If you look at Silent's Mario sig, it has a rather light colored picture of Mario on a light yellowish brown background. There are no random spot's of a different, darker color, therefore it seems to flow pretty nicely together to me.

Then again, if you look at your own sig based on the same render, it has a little darker picture of Mario on a dark background with some strange detailed stuff on the left, sorry I can't figure out what it is exactly. You also have some reddish glow-thingy in the middle, behind the text, and also some similar but white glow on the left edge. When I look at this sig as a whole, the Mario and the lighter glowing parts stick out too much compared to the background, there's too much contrast between them. Therefore it doesn't flow in together so nicely.

If there is nothing good in a sig then why give it any positive rating?

In my opinion there's a lot of potential in the signature in question. As I stated before the colors indeed flow in together pretty nicely, and with some more work these colors could make a pretty good sig. Maybe you missed all the good stuff in the sig because you were so busy finding flaws in it. For example you stated that 'the colors are pretty bad', without giving any reason why they are so bad. If you were talking about the color flow you should've sayed it more clearly, because now it gives me the feeling that the choice of colors in general is totally wrong. Like Silent shouldn't have used the yellowish brown color on the background? Why? Because you don't like the color? To me the choice of colors seems to be pretty much a matter of individual taste and in this case it even has some potential.

I am also no professional as you say

Indeed, that's why I typed it in the form 'professional'. I don't mean it as a personal insult, I'm sure you know how to make signatures and other artistic stuff and put a lot of effort in them and so on. That part was in reference to Syphon's post which said that his sig is 'much more detailed and professional'. I personally think that the amount of details only gives your signatures an overly fancy look, which may seem professional to some but it doesn't convince me that they are much better than the simpler ones, like those by Silent in this very thread.
