    Thats exactly what I was thinking...I doesn't seem like you did much with it. Anyone can make a sig like that, try making a sig that no one else can make. Show your talent and originality

    I'm curious, does a sig need 20 steps to be good.

    It's almost like most people forgot what a sig is. It's just a picture that has your name to it. So, would you assholes please say wether you think it looks good or wether it's a steaming pile of ****, That's what I asked you guys. I didn't ask wether my true photoshop skills showed through with the use of pro C4Ds that half of you guys just put in because only pro sig masters use!

    So, on to happier thoughts, CnC the sig.

    Steaming pile of crap....Nah, but really, you have to agree that the sig isn't that great.

    Yeah, it really isn't. For one, you can hardly see anything. Based on my judgment, it appears you used just one effect.

    Sometimes one effect sigs are good...This one isn't just thought I'd point out that first part.

    It usually takes more than one effect to create a decent sig. What I meant was it looks like a one-step sig where the only thing done to it was the click of a button.

    I never said it was a masterpiece. Seriously, why would you even think I think that?

    Based on my judgement, you used one effect in your sig.

    And will people stop with the 'OMG, only 1 effect was used!' bullshit. I get it, and knew this from the very start. I'm asking you guys about the sig. Not at how many effects I used.

    Now, thanks for at least saying something about the sig.
    What's hard to see? The gun? The person or the background?


    ...

    Define decent. I find that a decent sig just does what it does. It goes at the ned of a post and tells a bit about the person. Anything more then that is just extra.

    Ah, but you see, the sig you created tells nothing about yourself - not even a name. It's just a blurry screenshot from Halo.

    Well, if you don't you should. Since you seem not to get it I'll explain why I think that why. You can barley tell what it is, I wouldn't know what it was if I hadn't picked and found that stock myself. There is also alot of little black and grey specs on the sig, to remove those mess with the curves (Color>Curves). It also doesn't exhibit the usual signature traits, flow, color, compo, ect...Not saying you have to have them. Its also all zoomed in and you can't even see the dudes face, eyes.

    Telrad, we gave you the CnC that you asked for, about 10 times that is. Everytime someone posts giving their opinion on the sig, you scream in their face. We are just saying that you overdid the effects and the sig did not turn out as well as you intented or believed it did. Your right on the part though, that is does not take 20 different steps to create a sig. It looks to me like you had about three. Two different effects and added text ( Not counting cropping the stock, if you did. Yet, it takes one step to totally mess up a signature, you used two effects, and yes in my opinion the signature did not turn out so well. It seems oversharpened and the cartoon effect does not look that great. That is my CnC.

    I don't care if a sig has one effect as long as it isn't boring and looks nice.

    Your sig is not pleasing to the eye. It looks like a jumble of black lines. In fact, I wouldn't know what that was if I hadn't used the stock before.

    Oh, and stop being a prick to the other members.
