But :P is my favorite smiley(I keep mixing up instead : p for this smiley ).

And last one for a bit, I promise(I need some shuteye anyways)!

[Owen Macwere]

wow, romantic. but renders not cut that well, hey I think you should slow down a bet and work longer on them. still I like the text and background, the render is nice too :P.

[ShunNakamura]

Yeah I know the render isn't cut super good. But I had some issues with it. And I said to heck with it(basically the top of the guys hair was cut off in the original, so I had to try and rebuild and reshap his hair to what had been showing. I gave up). Fixing up renders to fit your sig isn't fun. I'll touch it up when I go back to it. I am just trying to put some of the ideas that are rushing through my head this morning to paper so I don't forget them. I can always touch them up, but I can't retreive an idea that fled.


Edit-- I am addicted . However, this idea plowed into me just before my I was in bed. Had to do something about it.

Here is another one that I am liking.

But I didn't manage to get the gif edges 100% clean this time... and the png would be WAY too large.

Oh good greif... I had typos!

[ShunNakamura]

My latest.... even too big as a gif. lol.

The Lovely png

--And now the I hate Gif's.--

I give up on gifs... I don't care if they are smaller. The quality difference(and how well they handle transparancies) is readibly visible. PNG's just outclass gifs in everything but size(and maybe animation... I don't do animations so I don't know anything about what does that best).

wow, these last sigs are very good, you are getting better all the time.
but I think now, you should start on working more on blending, you know it give the sig a nice look. a look that it is not made of things but as though one piece.
good work though

Well I have been sorta working on blending. But my main concern is to keep it readable discernable. and I have real issues tryin to balance that and blending. When I try to truely blend I end up overdoing or underdoing it. I can't get it right(though I do pratice more on each sig.).

The last two I did, the 'Mystic Healer' and 'The Pawn' have very transparent background layers on top of the renders to try and blend them more to the background. However, The pawn I posted up as is now to see the critique I had a couple ideas to play with blending but I wanted to see if it was needed or if I risked wasting time/ruining the sig by playing with it(and yeah, I know I got a copy of the original so I ain't going to truely ruin anything. but you got the idea I think).

And I am liking my latest ones as well , I just hate how much I have to shrink them when I actually want to use them.

new version. It was too strong I think before so I toned it down.

[ShunNakamura]

Got a new one to show off. I like this one despite its lack of transparency.

[Owen Macwere]

Yes, it is nice I like the colouring and the place you put the render in. nice work, Shun.
