You mean you don't have it already? I have yours, I see you on from time to time too. xDDDD Usually with a WoW away message.  Anyway, my AIM should be right in my profile here, it's FlameAxelVIII. And as not to stray too far off-topic, (xP) working on anything new or still fixing up the last one? |

Ooooh, that's pretty nice. I like those 4 layers at the top, so be sure to leave them visible, maybe changing the opacity of the top one to 75%. I'd say keep working on the coloring, even though it's fine as it is, you might want to play around with selective coloring some to see what you might be able to come up with. Play around with B&W Gradient Maps and Brightness/Contrast for differing depth lighting effects. Maybe go for some more effects to increase the flow some, and you might consider adding in some kind of texture of Pin Light/Darken/Lighten to go for something a little bit different. And some well placed text would look good, maybe rotated to flow, and definitely style it as typography.
Overall I think it's turning out great.

V4, ftw! You know my feelings on these, so no need repeating myself. I wish it could have a greater array of coloring, but it would most likely feel awkward, so I think you made a good choice in color scheme. It's really great, prolly your best.  |

Fine, I guess you guys don't love me. =[ lol, I've been busy lately, so not much else to add. Did three sigs the other day - well, two really, the third is a variant of the second. I'll put the two up first, and save the best for last. xD Version 1  Version 2  And the best [IMHO]  |

It's not that I don't love you, it's that you killed my father... prepare to die. Anywayz, kudos on this great batch! Digging the first one, though the lightness of the upper-left corner could be worked on. I love the cloudy/serene effect of it, reminds me of Siani's old style before she became a whore. V2 is good, but my coke tab texture is way too apparent in it, and there's too much orange for my tastes. I really like that third one. Did you ever show me this one, because it looks crazy familiar. It short, it's wonderful, though that same old texture and emptiness of the left side draw away from the focal a bit, though nothing too major. Lighting might not be entirely realistic, but it's pretty stylish none the less. Maybe it would be better if you used one of those cliched effects where you dup. the whole things and move it off to the side to create like a parallel crop or whatnot, even a thin horizontal line extending to the left edge to give that side a sense of purpose, imo. Still, very good, you're really getting great at this whole tag thing. Keep it up! |

The third one, look up a bit, there's a .psd link. =3 It's a revised version of that tag. And, I think you're right, it looks a bit empty. I'll see what I can do as a v2 of that. I don't know how to do that inset of the whole sig thing properly, but I think I'll fiddle around with it some. Yeah, I've been using your textures cuz they're sexy. =3 The last sig I posted, the night elf one, that was actually done first, which is why there's the same texture in the angel one - I got lazy. =3 Anyway, thanks! I'm glad you like. I'll post again with a v2 of that last sig, or something, once i figure out what exactly I want to do with it. xD EDIT: Here is a comparison. Work In Progress:  Final Outcome: I went with a lighter background, really. That's the biggest thing I did differently. Of course, since the first one was a WIP, the second one has more effects to it, but the biggest difference is the bg colour. I think I also scrapped a few of the textures, but I'm not 100% on that. |

I'd like them a lot if it weren't for the text, which looks out of place in each of them. :\ Well, the second one's looks alright. But the effects and coloring are pretty great.
