    FF Banner: I am so interested as to how you even had all of the characters cutted out so perfect.

    Metal Gear: I was so blinded by the rainbow lights that I was distracted from being able to notice Snake.

    Samurai: Can't really tell what it is on his hair.

    Onegai: Can't really tell what it is since it is too small but I do know that it has two females on there.

    Metroid: So electrifying! It is more better than the banner and there are so many different colors.

    Metal Gear Solid: I am blinded by the little bit of bright pink I think. The grey areas are ok but I really think that pink should be replaced with a different color.

    Did we use that banner over at FFN? It doesn't really look familiar. >_< You know that they got rid of that forum completely and put up a new one?

    Gah, even if this is your old work, I'm still jealous. I've always been a fan of your lighting and text. You make it look effortless.

    This one is probably my favorite. The colors are pretty here and I'm loving the text.

    [​IMG]
    If I had to pick a least favorite, it'd be this one. I dunno, it's maybe a little boring compared to the others you posted. But still alright.

    It's an icon, it's supposed to be small. You can see all that you need to see. :confused:

    Ugh. that is what I don't like about icons. I have to look super close to try and tell what it is.

    Prince of Persia: Is that a rose by his head? I just felt a sense of "OLAY!" Spaniard feeling from looking at it.

    Halo: I just find this signature very weird seeing that you added some bubbles around his head.

    Vendetta: That number sticks out more than it do for that creepy man.

    Bioshock: Gggrrr. I can tell that this one is underwater but I can't tell if that thing with the lights on is either a man or a part of a underwater industry.

    Trigun: ??? Huh? OH! The pink made me miss the scientists' face for a few seconds.

    lori: Just completely random. Just likable.

    Yeah, I saw that they just trashed our old forum and directed it to some gay FF14 shit. Oh well, I still keep in touch with some of my old friends. I'll try to get ZidaneFC, Anbu, Nako and some others to come here.
    And thanks for the compliment, I don't even remember how I did that prince of person one. I could probably make a lighting tutorial; when I use try to implement lighting it's fairly easy. Also, yeah, I agree with you on my Iori sig. Needs more work, looking at it now I definitely needed to make my render (focal) blend more with the entirety of the sig. Thanks for the compliments though.
    EDIT;
    Also, no, the banner was never used sadly.

    Anyways, I went on Photoshop and wanted to try something new. Here's what I came up with. I'm happy with the result.

    These are all rad. Once again I am inspired to get back into graphics and even perhaps get Photoshop instead of using Gimp all the time. Loving the Metal Gear ones (woo, fandom), you've even made Raiden Straight (or less homosexual for that matter =P)

    Of all of them, I'm liking the Bioshock one most. Besides the beaming lights (which puts it off a little bit), I'm liking how the image appears as if it has it's own layers on each section (girl, suit of armour, smoke, etc etc). An almost 3D effect kind of thing.

    This one is an odd style, which I'm trying to 'master', if you will. I don't know the name of it, but it's where you take a background and a render and try to make it match each other as clean as possible. It requires lots of lighting, and filter works. Personally, one of the tougher styles out there. It's very versatile though, so hopefully I can get the hang of it. This isn't that spectacular, but any CnC will help.

    Photomanipulation? I'm interested in that too, but don't think I have enough time to really get into it.

    Anyways, I think your attempt looks pretty good. The second version looks slightly better- the monster-thingy looks a little too sharp in the first, I think.

    The newest sig is again awesome. Beautiful lighting and effects once again. I think I prefer the original version, just a little- there's a little more depth in that sig, imo.

    If you find the time, I know I'd appreciate it. I'm a complete tutorial whore- I always want to know how people do what they do.

    ??? I can't tell the difference at all. What are you trying to contrast between the two?

    Thanks Toph, yeah, the first version went wrong. I tried a cool lighting effect that didn't go so well, and over shrapened everything, and over blurred as well. But yeah, I'll get a simple lighting tutorial on here by today.
    I'm not trying to contrast anything between the two.

    I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Maybe it's throwing me off a bit because it's not what I think of as your usual style. *shrugs* It's okay, but not your best work, imo.

    Sorry, this is pretty useless criticism, because I can't put my finger on what I don't like about it. But I hate to not comment at all.
