Well hello there gfx community, I'd love for you to examine the following pieces and leave me some feedback, I have improved in my time as an artist here and I would love to keep moving forward, in your CnC please leave me a rating: for example 7/10, as well as a reason
thanks!

Well first things first. I'm assuming you didn't know that there are signature rules on this forum.
Those being.

You may have either :

1 Sig that is 200 pixels high by 500 pixels width.

OR

2 Sigs at 110 pixels high by 500 pixels width each.

Now lets get to the Cnc. lol

Signature would get an 7/10 from me. It has great depth and a very nice feel to it, but I don't like the petals because they seem out of place. The text is also an issue with me, the little banner you have going across the signature kills the flow of the signature.


The avatar on the other hand would get an 8/10 from me. An avatar doesn't have all those little rules that a signature has so you have a lot more freedom when making an avatar. The only thing I don't like that you did is your choice on gradient maps. You made it desaturated and it almost looks purple. I'd like to see the gmaps removed if it's possible.
Text works in the avatar btw.

I say what you most need work on is text and contrast, if you can't decide what text to use and you feel like that the text won't improve whatever you're working on then don't use any. Don't hinder a piece just to get text in!

i can remove the text the "box" behind it and the petals in the sig and show you, and i also could take off the purple to orange gmap on the avi, i think that the gmap was set on screen and it lightened the darkness on the left and kind of screwed it up :/
Thanks for the CnC
and forum rules reminder they are so lame

that was not a lot of cnc, either this is so awesome you can't critique anything or it is so bad it isn't worth anyones time... how can i save this thread? I know how about a poll!

imo. I think the problem is no one knows how to critique it because it doesn't look like a normal signature... It has no elements that a signature has really.. imo.. looks more like a enlarged avatar in a way.

I like messing with the sizes on the graphics forum i'm on often lots of people have sigs that are a bit taller like this one, it took me a while to get out of my 400x150 comfort zone, but this keeps me out of a rut

I can hardly remember the original. But they 'petals' looked more like blood to me.

Signature:
But as for this version. The extra branches just seem out of place. It it had a dead wooded background, it would work. But with whatever the background is now, it doesn't seem to fit. The lighting is plain and unexciting. The red on the shoulder is alright, but the faint orange effects seem pointless because they don't stand out.

Avatar:
The avatar isn't that great. It just seems flat. In both depth and colour.
