To be honest, alot of it looks beginnerish, and i don't mean that in a bad way at all.. it feels like you lost your touch on the way.. i could see improvement in some and then in the next i was a lil bit disapointed..

The first site i ever tried and read tutorials and worked myself in the ranks was

and then i started reading more and more until eventually i knew the basics of a signature and how it was made.. I then started experimenting with different tools and i must admit i got addicted to using Topaz.. which alot of ppl frown upon.. BUT if you know how to use it well then you can make an amazing signature..

I advice you to look on that site.. start from scratch throw in some of your touches and post.. i would love to see it and help you improve. Because i really do see potential.

Thanks for the feedback, yeah I know exactly what you mean. You can probably see from the lack of work I produced the past few years that I lost motivation to create signatures.

I'll take a look at the website, should be a fun way to spend my afternoon Smile (cheers for the link)

Can you tell me more about Topaz? I've seen it on some tutorials and I completely ignored those stages. Do you have to pay for the software?

As I said, thanks for the constructive criticism Smile

No problem man.. like i said i see real potential in you, and i want to see you succeed..

About the Topaz.. Sadly it is a paid program but there are many many cracks out there.. Also i HATE! the new Topaz.. i think its lame and just i was use to the old one.. it was called Topaz Vivacity but they no longer sell it.. but you can still find it on the web with some hard google searching..

What topaz does is it basically smoothens out the signature.. done wrong.. you can lose depth and just mess the whole signature up.. but if used right.. you can make a really good looking eye candy signature.

For some weird reason, they no longer sell the "Vivacity" but they have it on there Legacy.. You must login or register to view this content. and that basically tells you what topaz is all about there is many plugins and they give you a trial and all that good stuff

james dont start using topaz
it will make every one of your sigs look the same
i would avoid it, at all costs

OT: there is a massive jump from 2012 to 2013
your newest one is by far your best sig so far

Thanks for the comments, I don't think I'll have the money for Topaz to be honest.

Thank you! I've made another new signature today as well, I'm starting to find it fun again like I used to Smile

Yeah avoid Topaz everyone in the GFX world can point it out & really dislikes it.

But read up on some tuts, But yeah your most recent tag is good but I dislike how it's centered & also the text needs to go messes with the focal.
