c&c would be greatly appreciated.

I promise I will start on those other sigs tonight or tomorrow afternoon

LoL. I was always like that when I did my sig corner, I felt kinda guilty for making myself something instead of doing requests, but in the end, I needed and those people ;) could wait an extra hour or two :D anyways, back on topic, I like! pretty good job for a sprite (i hate the things and cant do them). but the lighting is really chaotic, maybe lower the opacity on that layer a bit (im guessing its a layer set to lighten...) but otherwise not bad. text works :)

[Dekine]

lol thats about a 40 layer sig with about 70% of the layers set to lighten. but I could burn some of it to darken it. thanks for the suggestion. And I'm glad to know someone else took time for themselves. lol

Anymore suggestions??

[Punkie]

not really liking it.
REASONS
i dont really like how the lighting is so chaotic
i dont really like how there is a big blob of lighiting coming from behind him cause thats just like off
and not really liking text.

it aint a bad sig not bad at all just those things kinda throw it off a tad

[Dekine]

the big blob behind the render is supposed to be an explosion. Thats the hadouken part of it, it's from street fighter, if you didn't know. Thanks for the cc, much appreciated.

Ok I brushed in black a little to try a direct the focus more effeciently.

My monitor is great for games but I've been noticing that it sharpens every image it sees a bit too much. Even so I think th whole image would still look a bit pixelated. I always have liked sprite signatures when they are done well. So that is a plus.
The text however is too then to be read and isn't strong enough to support the piece. Lack of a border for such a chaotic look doesn't work well either. V2 is a good improvement but it isn't quite there yet.

Brilliant sig

i really like it.
i love the chaoticness of lighting. maybe a lil too bright. but i still love it. and i love the text great job dekine :D

[Dekine]

Thanks, I changed the look a little bit with blur and lighting, most won't even notice the difference. I also changed the text up just a little bit. I think this is my final version.
look ok?

It looks better but I still have way too much trouble reading the text and I doubt that is the look you were going for.

[Dekine]

well the only text you shouldn't be able to read is the little font to the left and under the word flow

[Gaviteros]

I can read it all. I just have to strain my eyes. I have already figured out what it says so I don't have to work too hard but if I didn't know what it says I would have trouble.

It is possible that my resolution is too large for the size of your text.

[H2o sLacK]

......its still a real cool sig

[KilloWertz]

I can read everything I'm supposed to be able to read. I love the lighting. Great sig.

[Dekine]

thanks for the kind words. I think I'll try a battle scene next. OoOooO, that'll be difficult.
