    focal is too low, and that girl is so ugly, it ruins the sig for me, plus colors don't blend

    Compliments: One thing i love about this sig is it's simplicity. It's not amauteur simplicity, it's been worked on hard, to make it appear simple. The colours, smudging, backround, all work so nicely together. The main thing that sticks out at me is the redness of the brute. Though it's not a vibrat red, it's a sharp, piercing red. The other thing that i noticied was the smudging on the right should/back, which greatly adds to the sig, and makes it look like the brute is in motion. It looks like to took a quick snap of him right before his hammer smashed the ground.
    I see that the widescreen border is "in" now :p

    Criticizme: Only constructive criticizime here, because theres not much to complain about, just some things taht could use tweaking. The font is in a good place, im just not sure about the font type, or how big, and the colour of it.
    And thats about it haha. If you weren't going for the simplicity look, i'd suggest adding something in the upper left corner, and changing where the font was, but the look it has now is good, and it's generally very proportionate.

    Great sig, 4/5

    this one looks nice. The render is nicely blended into the background. Only thing i can see for improvement would be to darken the areas that arent focused on a little bit. ie. top left, bottom right.

    great sig!

    heres mine for some cnc'n

    wow, it is very professional looking, though i think that the silver dollar stands out way too much, and so does the star below his/her eye. other than that it is blended very well, though there could be a little more light source cause there is light shining off his fingers and right shoulder. i really like it though.

    So it's that time of the week again: the time when I can sit down and CnC the graphics of the last two pages. That is, Thursday afternoon. ^_^

    Response: I really like the feeling of this graphic. Not only does the color scheme presented by the character remain constant throughout, but you've used a great deal of contrast and color "intensity" to draw my eyes right where they need to go--indicating a great sense of flow on your part. It stands out, as a graphic, especially with the "widescreen" borders on the top and bottom. You also used a really simple font, but it's got great position and I like the very slight deviation in font size between the lines.

    I've only got a couple other complaints about this one. The first is that, as you said, the original graphic you used isn't really that high-quality, with rough lines and edges pretty evident throughout. What I would have liked to see (short of enhancing the quality of the graphic, which takes a lot more talent than it takes to type) would be integrating the same type of rag-tag, thrown-together feeling into the rest of the graphic. This leads me to my second complaint: the quality of the render in the background is a lot higher than the quality of the character. It almost confuses the eyes as to what deserves more attention after the initial scan: the character, or the shovel-pole thing that's going off his shoulder towards his left ear? At least you used the character to cover the most delicate part of the background, which is a clever way to use the flow of the image that was already there to draw the eyes toward the character. My last complaint is the font (which is something that not many will agree with me here). Besides being a bit too small for my tastes, the cleanness of the text in comparison to the chaotic background is also almost counter-intuitive. In all, it's not a horrible graphic. I'd even go so far as to say it's a good one--not fantastic, but good.

    Response: Ah, another simple graphic. I'm not sure what the character is, but I like how very clearly he is portrayed in this graphic. It seems that people are catching on to the trend of "widescreen" borders, and I have to say that they really do look quite clean (I like t3h widescreen). What I really like about this is how I can't tell what was your doing and what was part of the original graphic. Obviously the text is new, and I would venture to say that you've at least done some leveling or contrast work with it, but in either case it's turned out really well. Additionally, I love the text effects you've chosen to use. Whether the distress in the font is custom-made, or whether it's just part of the font, it fits really well with the image, standing out enough to be read, but not distracting from the rest of the image (the pastel tone you've used contributes to that). It's a very good graphic.

    My two complaints are this: because I can't tell how much of the graphic is originally yours, I can't tell how much work you actually put into it. A work like this, frankly, could have taken you five or ten minutes in photoshop to put together, despite how well it turned out. I'm going to try and not count this against you, though, because there are some graphics that just work really well, and you just want to grab them and throw them in your signature (I know because I've done it). Additionally, I would have liked to see at least some kind of border on the sides of the image, as my eyes (as I commonly complain) are having trouble finding the edge on the left side. It's a very clean graphic that is very well constructed. Good job.

    Response: You've done a very good job at guiding my eyes around the graphic in a sort of checkmark-pattern (first down the guy's hand with a glance at the face towards the white glow at the bottom, then up past the words towards the lighting at the top right). The negative space is also relaxing to have in sight, not drawing undue attention to itself. Perhaps one of the things that stands out to me the most in this, though, is the general feeling of mystery and fascination that looking at the graphic entails. In addition, the render done with the checkerboard ribbon around the guy's hand is impressive (and absurdly time-consuming if done in Photoshop, which leads me to guess the use of a 3D rendering program). The text is also very well placed, and the font-choice contributes to the suspenseful awe of the rest of the image. I could go on, but in the interest of time, I'll hold myself there.

    I really only have three complaints. First of all, the image is very dark, such that the man's face is hidden from plain sight. While you may have been trying to accomplish this (as it contributes to the feeling of the image that I so love), you could have gotten away with more brightness there, especially considering the glow at the bottom, which brings me to my next point. I'm not sure what the glow is supposed to represent (a hat of magical proportions?), but it is of the wrong hue when compared to the rest of the image (such as the guy's face, or the coin), and could stand to be reduced in intensity. My last complaint, and I don't know if this is something reparable, is the fact that the script text is entirely illegible. If that's his signature, then it's fine, but otherwise, I would have chosen a different font for it.

    No, you're fine.

    Since it's Universal, I guess you could post almost anything.

    I'd cnc the last pages that I missed, but I really need to finish my homework.
    I'll do it tommorow, or later.
