That was pretty harsh, dude...

Here's what I say:

1. The text shouldn't be the focal point of your sig, so size it down and put it in the corner. Even better, give it a cool font.

2. Hrm...not much blending with the render. Maybe use the blend tool?

3. Background doesn't really fit. Try to combine a regular paint fill with some cool brushes.

I recently made this. For the record, no renders were used. Just used a gradient, and some effects:

I know it's not much, but feedback?
Double post to be able to see my last one
Thanks for the comments I will try to do better

Is ther a blend tool in PS? I can't find it. I just stick to smudging and feathering


You have a point sparta sorry tanith I thought that you might want the critics but I just didn't think it was your best try some turtorials

From Photoshop CS2. (last I checked, CS5 layout wasn't all that different)
For layers: windows > layers
top left corner in the window

Various tools:
middle-left side of the toolbar.

If you're a visual (large picture 1440x900) (Click to View)

You should really start playing around with your editing tool, this is not hard to find.
That's technically not a blend tool. It's a blend mode or option. Essentially, a tool is something you can control and change (I'm not explaining this well), like the Pen tool.

Tomato, tomahto.
Your blend tools are essentially brushes with different blend modes
Comments on my current sig?And where can I find Beyblade renders?I'm not really a pro when it comes to GFX.
there are no MFB renders because they only render famous stuff such as InFamous.

I'm trying to create a "dirty city" type atmosphere...
I'll have to work on it....
Lol, it seems that everyone that didn't make the finals are better than me...
That describes my block...
I mean BP, and Dex are really good and they didn't make the finals.. And if blah didn't start late she would have kicked my carp.
Anyways I'm just going to keep getting better!!! Joyful_2
LOL. I seriously LOL'ed at this. You shouldn't be saying that. Just try and try. If you want to really....try making a challenge to me and DeX. Tongue_out
Why does it have to be me always ?!?!
It's like my fair, the jail booth was always having me in it! I HATE THAT FAIR !
