w/ Border and darker:


w/o Border and lighter:


Not really feeling it. Made this all on my own. I think this would have been better if I followed a tutorial. Played with gradient maps so much.

CnC and rate please.

The dark one for me is too dark and the light one is too light :\
The left c4d seems unneccesary and the text isnt that great

But i like how the flow, "flows"

And try not to use a 1 color gradient map because then it starts to look a bit monotone

I used like 5 gradient maps. lol

EDIT: I fixed up the signature. Tried to make it more colorful.

WEll it seems like you used 1 gradient map of 1 color

great, now all you need to fix is the text and brightness :]

change the txt, its ugly and doesnt go with the flow or design


and get rid of the splatters on the left of the edited

Yoohohohohohohohohoho, kirk you always make me laugh whether it be intentional or not.

Anyways, I think you know I'm going to pick on you for you colour choices so let's just get to it, shall we?

Judging from you're past sigs your problem seems to be that you make your sigs way to monochromed. I would go as far as to say some are heavily monotoned but you do well to steer away from that most times. Now, it could be because you want everything to match and what not but making everything one colour is not the best way to go about that. Far to many times I've seen someones work get critiqued as "bad colour choices" or " over saturated/contrasted" etc ,list goes on, and their solution would be to throw on a photo filter or gradiant map making it all one colour. No. Wrong.

If you are constantly getting comments about your colours then-my best advice would be- go back to your colourwheel and study complimentary colours some more. Taking a look at your sig, blue, so we will work around that. To find the complimentary colour for blue is as simple as just running across the colour wheel. In this case it would be yellow.


Ofcourse there is a lot more to colour choices/palettes then this but it's something you learn and pick up as time goes by and I tried to keep this simple for the sake of keeping it simple.....P.S remove that font from your computer right now, do it. Now. Don't wait. Stop using it.
C:> WINDOWS> Fonts....and remove that sucka, s0n.

Best put no text. Text ruins it >.<

Did you just post critiquing your own sig,lol?

I just Lol'd SOOOOOOOO hard.

Yes I did.

Try looking up some tuts at dA or something.

Dunno, but i lol'd at the coloured splat ver. Sorry if u were serious though.

Listen to Hostage bout the colours. You can see what looks good together after some practice.

The text. Unistall that font right now.

Thanks Hostage for that color wheel pic. I must keep that in my mind next time I play with ps.

But kirk as everyone been saying that sig is too monochromed and that font....
