Need some critics
what can i do betteeeer!

[IchigoXitachi]

Add some transparency, maybe make the border a smooth box rather than a straight box, much like a button

Fully utilize the size restrictions you can have of 600w x 150h maybe?

Looks alright though, what you using CS5?

[IchigoXitachi]

I can do it for you if you'd like, I won't charge for it either

Leave me a pm with some links to pictures you'd like in your signature and what style you'd like and i'll get working on it when I wake up

[DigitalKitten]

To much things going on in the background for the font to look good.
Keep it simple (:

Wana tell me how to make it round D:?

[DigitalKitten]

Save it as PNG, for the transparency.
JPG won't make it transparent.

tyyy

jpeg / tiff can be made transparent ( even a bmp can ) with the right alpha channel properties, if your using cs5, click layers add new layer ( cant remember most of it ) I'd suggest using GIMP for adding the alpha channel ( much easier imo and you can choose to color to alpha, which will remove the selected color/hex value and make it transparent ).

For the rounded edges, in cs5, go to shapes, then select the rounded box tool, then add a gradient in the layers blending properties ( or overlay which ever gives more flexibility ) you can also download new / diff gradients from googleing "cs5 gradients", or you could even go as far as using an image from your own pc as an overlay.

But it takes longer time to make an alpha layer then to save in PNG :>

How is ( using GIMP ) clicking > layers > add alpha channel > color to alpha, harder than saving in a diff format o.O?

Anyways, for now we're both giving Slinger "sound" advice, lets try not to confuse him lol. <(^.^)>

@Slinger have you done one yet?

[DigitalKitten]

Oh sorry! I thought bout the Photoshop ways of saving , then you just "save as png" > done xD

[Oerba]

Bare in mind the one rule: Less is More.

Try not to keep things cluttered up.
If you send me just that picture of your character in your picture (hopefully cut out), I can make one to give you an idea what you could do.

[slinger]

Ok oerba ill send u 1

I have no clue how u do ur sigs

[lala09]

wow, I didn't know that we can make sigs I like making sigs :#

[mentos]

I like your first signature; the one you have right now really has bevel and emboss in all the wrong places. So look out for that.
