The one with the Joker was nice.

The transformers one I didn't like that much, the colors don't really fit in with the alpha tag and it looks a bit smudgy.

Re: Rate my sigs ive recently made :P

They're nice, especially like the Joker one. You should, however, watch out for sig cuts, because they're both cut on the left side of the sig and you can also see the borders where they end.

I like them. And I like how you 'learned a few tricks' and came up with these. Learn a few more, and your amazingness will be unstoppable. :-D

Re: Rate my sigs ive recently made :P

Voted no. Why?

1. This answer will make you want to improve
2. Id say they are somewhere between good and bad, but there was no such option
3. There is a potential - but its not used to its fullest capacity
4. Style is not original - you are good, but you need your own style to be even better. You should master more than one style, people demand various things (sigs, avatars, posters, banners, userbars, god knows what else...)
5. There are some basic rules that you followed and some that you didnt.
6. Other reasons that Im lazy to discuss :-D

Soooo, if you wanna get better - practice, practice...Ill vote yes when they are flawless, everything else is just average and thats why no good :P
If you want any help - PM me, we can work sth together (I like colabs :))
Dont take this like Im harsh, just wanna help ;)

I have to agree with most of what is being said here, the best way to improve is to practice and practice even more, im not saying that there bad, but im also not saying there awesome, i think with enough time and effort being put into them, they could become very good.

And text isn't great, but i really shouldn't be complaining as i am still working on improving my texts.. and like reanimated suggested, try and find a style which you can improve on and master, this will improve you on making various types of sigs, avys and mostly what was posted :)

lol rules are for panzies mate :razz:

Just kidding mate. There are bits of this that I agree with and bits I don't. I agree that the style is unoriginal, but very few sig makers start making sigs using an original style. Master the commonly used styles before making your own. Also, I don't think there are rules; if there are rules, everybody follows a different set, unless what he's referring to by rules is the way designs should be or 'ought' to be carried out (the proper way) in which case #4 and #5 should be mutually exclusive.

I think they're good sigs, and you should continue to practice; you'll only get better. :D

If I can make two suggestions, though, I think these things are important:

1. [spoiler]When you resize images, you'll see a bar appear (depending on what program you use and what version) and you should see a box which says "constrain proportions;" always check the box, and always resize your images by dragging from the corner rather than oen of the four sides - this will prevent your images from stretching, the single biggest mistake sig makers make (but very easy to correct).[/spoiler]

2. [spoiler]Watch that when saving .PNGs you don't have pieces visible which aren't supposed to be there; on #1 there's a grey bar above the sig, and on #2 there is a line of black pixels along the left edge of the sig. An easy way to solve this: When you are working with your image, duplicate all of the layers and merge them into one layer on top of everything else, and then put all of your other layers in a folder and hide the folder. This way your work is all on one layer without losing any of your edits. Then, add a background layer underneath everything and fill it with a medium grey. You'll be able to see anything which shouldn't be there agaisnt the background (sometimes they're hard to spot because of the checkered background used for transparency) and can then select your merged layer and removed these things before saving. Also, just keep an eye that you aren't cutting off the edges of your sig, I saw a couple others mention this, just something to be aware of.[/spoiler]

Hope this doesn't sound harsh either, just trying to help you as best I can :D some very small improvements can make a big difference in terms of sig quality so keep that in mind haha (also, sorry, wrote you a novella here but I hope it's helpful despite the length).
