Here is one I did of Naruto. When I do these sigs I try to show the change of the characters.



This one is of Sasuke. I tried the same thing. Show how he changed from a young age to how we know them know.

I think the second one is a bit too busy, maybe you should take out some of the people?

I agree with Pixel. In both of the signatures, all the different Naruto and Saskuke renders at once are extremely distracting and you don't really get a clear cut sense of what part of the signature you are focused on because of that. To be frank, it kind of looks like you just took a whole bunch of random images, shrunk them down with MS Paint so they all fit, and just plastered them all over a blank canvas... Which is bad. The background colors aren't doing much for me either. They take away from the rest and it feels like they were a last minute decision.

My first suggestion to how you can improve them would be that you should try to get higher quality stock images. The ones you used aren't really that clear and they don't show up that well. I know you might have purposely blurred some of them to try to get the effect you wanted, but even the ones that I think should have remain "sharp" and clean don't strand out that much from the rest.

Second, the colors... Yes, it matches...sort of, but it's very choppy and doesn't flow well. I recommend you tone it down a bit in brightness wise and blend with the smudge tool until its more subtle. Don't get me wrong, though; don't make everything all one monotone color, you want the colors to complement each other well, but don't play safe and be boring by keeping it all the same. Also, try play around with the dodge/burn tool or add more color to the part of the signature that you want everything else to tie back to to add empathize to it.

^ Agreed. Waaaaay to busy. At max, you should have two renders, and even that is difficult to pull off.

[Lord Murphy]

Alright thanks. I don't know very much about them so any advice helps out a lot. I want the renders to show the stages of each of the characters, but I do see that they need to be toned down a lot.

[Pompoon]

Way to change the sig I made you. ^_^

You just need practice. Try using one render at a time. If you want to show the stages, I'd say make multiple tags.

Or, you could make all the previous stages translucent or blurred, and make the final stage opaque and sharp for focus, as well as on a third line or in the center.
