I tried doing something pretty basic for a change, just for kicks.

That really simple. Kind of, I dunno, weak?

Mk, the figure could use a bit of lighting or something. He/she seems too dark.
The gun could use a little, mmmmmm, something. I'm not sure. The whole thing feels a bit off.

You don't need to stick to the same canvas dimensions alll the time, because in most of your sigs, you have this great open space that's too hard to fill properly, especially since your renders are more vertically oriented. ;).gif So this one could really, really, benefit from making it a lot shorter in width. Also, the brightness of the lines makes the focus split; it would look better if the shorter line is on the same side as the render, and the longer line is lower in the image.

I see the light reflecting off the render, but I see no light. I love the colors of the background, but this really is too simple. XD Why not slip in a picture of him fighting?

Also, no text? O_o Why not put Dante or The Saviour is Coming! or something? XD

Still lacking depth and light. Looks really bland.

The vertical one looks better; but in both, the text is sorta off. For the vertical one, it should be near the focus, which is the head; the second one, it's at the apex of the flow, so it looks a bit strange - maybe it should be above the gun, along the barrel? The short red lines still look like they're on the wrong side, so it feels like it's spread out instead of continuing the overall flows. Still, it's a bit better... and again, why did you make the horizontal one so wide?

Try a sig size of 450 x 150, vertically. I find that the best size IMO.

I don't know why, it just seemed to look better wide.

I'll try working with the text after school. crybaby.gif Today's my first day back...

It depends whether your focus is the end of the gun or his head. If it's the gun, then you should create some lighting with a gradient to focus it more and to dim his white hair slightly, or if it's the head, then you definitely, definitely, need to narrow it. One reason it might have looked better wide is because .... the short red line is on probably the opposite side that it would look good on. Right now it feels spread out, as I said, but if you swapped the side, it would feel more ... together, and would definitely look a lot better narrower.

Isn't that a different render your using for the vertical one? Or is is just me?

It is a different render XD. Sorry for the confusion. The first one was too wide for it.


Is this more of what you meant Quoth?

Fixed the lines, and the text is more transparent.

Yep, sorta. V__V You only moved the line.

There still is no lighting at all, making his hair distracting, or his gun, whichever is the focus. Did you read all of my comment? Also, really, try making it narrower.

The text needs to either move or change. It is too distracting.

Narrower, and lighted. Better?
