    So, I've been away for quite sometime and kind of forgot how to make signatures....:c
    But today I went into PS and messed around and came out with this....

    Could use some thoughts on it as well as how I could improve it :>

    This look great! :D

    If you want some suggestions, maybe you could add a levels or curves adjustment layer to brighten up the colors and add more contrast ^^

    The 3 different texts you have are also really close to the same size. Maybe you could vary the size more for each word? I also feel like the deep blue color of "LakeValor.net" doesn't fit with the rest of the color scheme o: Just my thoughts ^^

    Overall though, it's a good piece :3

    Ashe I agree with the font. I had a hard time determining what fonts to use and the sizes. Also, I was going for the LV color for the words Lakevalor.net but as I look at it I do see what you mean about it not fitting the color scheme overall.

    If you have any font suggestions (types of font wise) I'd like to hear from you!

    I feel like Volcarona doesn't blend in with the background enough, it sorta sticks out. A good tip would be to put some of the C4Ds/Fractals/Effects on top of the render, then erase out bits which cover it's face/main body but leave some around the edges and such.

    Try to add a sans serif type font, normally bold and tall ('Tall Dark and Handsome' and 'Bebas' work well) and then add variation to the text by adding a cursive-type font on top of or underneath it. Make sure the colours match the overall piece and add gradient overlays to them. Its nice that you added a sprite too but if you just matched the colours with the sprite in your font, it would improve the piece somewhat. Looks great though and I like your use of fractals in the background.

    Created a new one, trying to change up the fonts and making him blend in a little more with the background.

    What do you guys think?

    I used a transparent black rectangle do the text didn't blend in with the background.
