Let's see...

Okay, your main issue is your focal. It has to be the first thing you notice and stand out, of course, but your focals just stick out like a sore thumb. I mean, they aren't blended with the effects at all. They're just... there. And, your effects are pretty boring, try experimenting with new things, instead of just throwing in a couple of c4d's or something. You need a color scheme. The effects don't really fit with your facal very well, especially in the dotHack one.

If you don't mind me asking, what program do you use?

[Strider]

Heh, i didn't really get the thing about focals.
I use Adobe ImageReady
It's kinda like PS, but not far as good.
But it's free :P

'Focal' means the main image, or the render.

Also, you make like ImageReady better, but you'll want to use PS or GIMP if you actually want to improve, because they both have very many preset effects and many things to use for signature making.

[Strider]

Yea...
Is Gimp free?

[Falcon]

Yes, GIMP is 100% free. You can download GIMP here.

[Strider]

Thanks a lot.
I will download tomorrow :P

Keep with the blending and sparkle effects-Looks like you just slapped stuff on
PS
Wth is with the main pic? You make the details the most entertaining part of the pic...Dry man, dry

Actually, the effects are supposed to be the interesting part... But, yeah, more render blending would be quite nice, and I kind of see what he means. Whatever, just keep trying, you'll get better.

I made new signature:

strdr

[Falcon]

Wow, huge step-up from your previous ones. For some reason, I love tags like these, they're so simple, yet so awesome looking. Great work.

[Strider]

Thanks a lot, i also love it.

The monotone colouring are what gives this picture it's 'power'. The dark blue from the left window is nicely used on the right building. It's a nice detail. Only tips I can give you is that the ground shouldn't be black, this messes up the colour pattern in the picture. The border should be the same size allround (same thickness)

Nice work, this shows that simple stuff can look just as good as the practicly impossible.

[Da LoLz]

this is so plain no effects but it looks epic and it is all cartoony looking keep it up

Hah, i knew people wouldn't realize it...
Actually, the ground is not black. It is very dark blue, but it's very hard to see... I might make a v2

[Falcon]

Yes, please make a v2, that'd be awesome. Hopefully it'll be as good as v1.

It'll be better >:3

[Strider]

I made the v2!
Here it is:


Alternate Link

[Strider]

Ooooh, i didn't get any comments on Strdr v2
Well, i made a new one!
Pencil

[Da LoLz]

it just so epic like and yet so plain but stick to that style it is awesome and at v2 it is exactly the same like v1 so yeah only a little darker i think stay with this style it is epic!!!!!1one!!

[Strider]

Ha, don't you worry. This is the only style that i really like using
AND it's epic, so... yay!

[Falcon]

The pencil one was no where near as good as strdr. It was boring, and all you added really was a shadow. IMO, if you're going to use that style, try to make more be going on in the tag. Otherwise, keep it up.

[Squarez]

bad Strider, it looks like I found your inspiration.



*TSK* *Tsk*

[Strider]

Yea, sorreh. I forgot to credit Elphrz... >_>

[Falcon]

Lol, never really did notice that before.

Oh, and Strider, continue to use this style, but don't overuse it either. If you make each and every one of your signatures like that, you'll have no variety, and it will get boring after a while.
