    Here's another sig. I'm trying to put a little more meaning in my sigs? Just a personal choice, I suppose.

    (It's a mouseover btw)

    Here's the stock:

    Anyways, CnC please!

    And I just realized I managed to clip a bit of the tree branch :3
    edit: Fixed it

    I really like it. It reminds me of those old anecdotes like "making a mountain of a mole hill" and stuff like that. The colors work well, and you certainly did quite a bit from the original stock. Nice job.

    Part I most liked was the vectors or image you added on top of the whole thing, it maes the sig more interesting and blends well.

    Thanks for the feedback, glad you like the colors and vectors Rorak and Xterm. I haven't heard of that anecdote, though

    Edit: I think I'll make this my new sig as soon as I fix the branches

    Yeah, I think it's one of your best, among the giraffe one, the reach letters one, and the iron man v4.

    Ha give me any sig from the past year by anyone and I probably will remember it, though further back it goes I might not instantly remember who did it...

    I think you did fairly well on this one, I like how well you removed the mountain, leaving a jagged crater in its place, and the effects aren't obstructive, and just work to direct the eye.

    My only real problem here is the text, I am not really big on it as is (though admittedly I am pretty bad at text myself). Given the mouseover, I think the quote could be expanded on slightly, and that it could be moved somewhere both closer to the focal yet still not obstructive.

    Are you saying move the text in the second image? And yeah, I'm not sure why I decided to put it so far away. I remember reading you're supposed to place the text near the focal point
