Come Rate. Gotxbrain.

Yet again I'm trying something very different.
I used only the render, background stock, and chalk and circle brushes for smudging and color.

I don't like it. I was also hoping for some unique typography on my name, not exactly the same thing I did. Thanks anyway.

(Perhaps you should stop 'trying something different')

Coming from a proffesional standpoint, I would never present a client with an experiment. I'd stick to things I know look good and that people like. I'd save the experimenting for practice, and try to perfect it until it's something i'm cofortable replicating and can make look good.

My request thread is a request thread for a reason.
If you wanted to specify that you wanted unique typography.
You should have said so, or I go by what I want to do.

You said you wanted something similar, and I can quote that.
So I did something smaller, that I believed looked better than large, bold typography.

And I'll have no problem making another, mainly because I'm doing this for practice.
I assume same render?

I mean no offense by saying this but, you definitely could use practice, your current skills are that of an amateur.

But hey!
If you believe that you are professional and your work is that great, beauty is in the eye of the beholder correct?

I don't know what you are trying to say. I am satisfied with my current sig, I was looking for something to accompany it. I can make my own, and I did.

That's not typography, that's called changing the font.
I'm pretty sure we're not all professionals; we're just amateurs that neglect our own infallibilities. Eli, I suggest if you want people to simply rate, (instead of attacking you) you set up a poll system or ask users to vote on a 1-10 system.

And Minora, I can understand if you're dissatisfied. "I don't like it" Doesn't carry you very far though. If you want everything to be absolute perfection, then be sure to make an extremely detailed request down to the last pixel. For a person who simply crops their signature to make an avatar. You're very detail oriented.

Anyway about the signature:
I'm glad you're experimenting...that's honestly the best way to improve and mature to find styles that work. I suggest playing around with positioning of your render. You seem to always have it dead center. Some of the best selcas I've seen are interesting because the person intentionally cuts off and uses other parts of the photo elsewhere. Also, the brushes look too harsh and just stamped onto the render. I do love the background though. Those different hues of light and dark blend so well together!

I think of the 1-10 thing every time I look at this thread, however if it doesn't have good critique to back it up then it is worthless to me in the long run, and it doesn't help me improve.
If anything I think I should just PM you the signature, you've given fantastic critique towards my stuff.

And the signature itself, The only thing I really have a problem with is that I didn't do some very simple things that would've made the brushes seem more subtle.

It's not that I want it perfection, I just don't like the way this one turned out. I just don't fucking like it, I don't want to use it in my signature, I think it looks terrible. I don't have to explain why, it's not like there's something technical wrong that makes me hate it. I. JUST. DON'T. LIKE. IT.

Xaoi

to the OP, if you want good critique, I think you should post it in a gfx forum and not in a hacking forum. You'll improve faster, i think xD
