yeh ur fonts hav been laggin lately on quality, it went downhill from Final Fantasy sotw, revert back to a previous memory save, not gona leak c&c as its a sotw entry and it may beat mine lol
Only thing I see is the text on the right looks bad but otherwise it looks AWESOME. This is actually one of the better ones I've seen from you tbh lol.
i think the focal is not clear cut, the gfx are good but the focal is lost, i don't like both choices of text sadly and the scanlines over it all. its good but i'd say inter 5/5, for advance it have to be sorted a bit, and released pixel perfect. i hate how text goes like that on small sigs, does my nut in aswell. your current sig can lead the viewers eys around it loopin from focal, round the sig back to the focal, keepin interest within it. this one seems flat and good for a 1st glance only to me.
needless to say it is impecable work and is one of your best :p
I did think about the focal when I made this sig. But, If I try to, for example, brush shadows over the sides, to draw more attention to the pokemon, then the fx are not going to look as nice.
As for the text, I will think of something, and make a version 2 with better text.
some nice bitmap text with maybe a yellow stroke would do, take out the middle with 0% fill so its like the text u have but more precise, just try find a small font
