    Here's some of my recent work. Its not as good as what I've done before, since I'm not using the same program I did a long time ago. I'm still getting used to it, but I want you guys' opinion.

    ^Giving false praise doesn't do the artist any good in the long run. Not trying to be hateful, but these are far from amazing.

    Well, to start with, I think they are huge. I know it's just my personal opinion, but I think sigs usually look better smaller.

    I think the text is too large and distracting. I don't think text should be the focal point of a sig.

    And honestly, it just doesn't look like you did anything to the images. I know you probably spent a good amount of time on each of them, but to me, it just looks like you took an image, cut it down a bit, and put text on it.

    Keep practicing, though.

    Well, didn't expect you to enjoy them anyway.

    No, I did plenty of work altering the images from color to perspective focus. Granted what I use now doesn't give me the best of options when it comes to making graphics. Way back when I could do more.

    I seem to be having trouble downsizing the images as well, so much so that if I make them the size I want, the text is nearly invisible. Unfortunately, that does wind up making the text a distraction. I'm getting better at mixing things together now, but I still can't produce the quality I could before.

    If you could recommend something I could download no charge I could do that. Other than GIMP of course, God I could never work with that one.

    Thank you Toph for the constructive critisism btw.

    Gimp sucks balls.
    You need to practice and practice, and get PSC3.
    If you can't take criticism then your friend needs not to making horrible shit, and btw learn how to spell because your obviously illiterate. I'm not going to argue with you because your friend is horrible at making tags or whatever it is that you call them. Learn to appreciate HARSH criticism and stop bitching all the time. If Autospy was here she would say the same thing I'm saying.

    Anyways, texts is horrible, you need to blend it in. You need to choose better quality stocks and upper the colour a bit. And learn how to smudge, that's if you ever get PSC3, so you can become better.

    Nownow, raging is bad. With all due respect Dark_Hanyo, I'm not sure this is quite the thread for you. I'm not saying you aren't entitled to your opinion or anything, that's absurd, but clearly you do not know how to critique.

    Anyways, with that out of the way, I've seen worst by far. Also, fancy words only go so far if the tags are still a mess =]. You can refer to perspective focals all you want but the fact is that they are quite... lacking per-sé.
    You need to start working on composition and I'd highly highly recommend you leave out text until you are more experienced with this kinda stuff. For starters they are enormous but signatures but too small for Large Pieces so they far somewhere in between and that never goes well. The tiger one is the only size appropriate one but even still the size is a bit awkward, y'know? Just in personal taste I think a considerably larger width than height looks the best and then of course to make it not-quite-so-enormous the height has to be brought down in relation. As far as composition it's moderate I suppose though I have no idea what the stocks look like (the first looks to be entirely stock) but it can use some work. There's a lot of negative space on the second one and not much of a focal considering there's more going on with the right side rather than the center.

    Need to work a bit on color schemes as well, too. The first is good though it's a fairly low vibrancy but the second only has a mix of about 3 actual colors (white, purple, and black with no varying tints), the tiger is too many colors considering the focal is blue and everything else is green, yellow, red, and grey. The last tag has a decent color scheme, though it lacks contrast, but the render does not look like she belongs there. Also, the second and last tags are extremely flat so depth seems to be something to focus on as well.

    Also, what program are you using? As far as free I'd recommend Gimp (or a pirated PS but you didn't hear that from me) but it would seem that members here have a vendetta against it so... XD;
