 It's a new sig I've been messing with. I can get this far fairly easily, but text/font ALWAYS is a killer for me. I just can't seem to find a good match or placement for the font/text for any of my newer pieces that I make. Here is what I'm wanting from you guys: 1. What you think about it in the current form. 2. What style font/text would you go with. 3. Where I get the font/text style (maybe a tut?) that you reccomended in context 2. Much thanks, -Z- |

well one thing is need to say is that the focal point seems to be the car/carriage/whatever's in the fire...the focal point should be on kenshin... u could getting making kenshin more noticable and the first thing u look at when u see the sig...and the glow makes him even less noticable since it makes him seem even more dark than he actually is(which is pretty dark still, here) sry i'm not so good with txt either so no help from me here...  |

looks really good, maybe resize the height down a little. i think it would look good with a dark red cursive text off the the bottom left, although i really couldn't tell you where to get the text either. sry. good job though  |

The focal point really is all dependent on the person looking at the piece. What you seem to think is something burning is actually nothing at all. The only things in the sig is 1. Kenshin and 2. a brushed background to show some depth and give a feel of destruction. The glow around Kenshin actually is meant to bring him out a bit, if it were not there and I feathered/blended him in then the image of Kenshin would be fragmented by the intensity of the brushing in the background. looks really good, maybe resize the height down a little. i think it would look good with a dark red cursive text off the the bottom left, although i really couldn't tell you where to get the text either. sry. good job though I kinda of like the height because it fits how Kenshin is placed. If it were shorter/taller then less or more of Kenshin would be shown that isn't needed. |

It's simply an oddly composed grunge brush. However, I can see that one could assume it being something in the same respect that you're picturing it to be.

well either way i saw it first and frankly...when i'm kind worn out from school like i am now...my eyes stay on the focal point of the images...and i kept staring at the "car" thing thats not there...
but kenshin is a little dark at first glance...i didnt know it was him till i looked close...

blur the background a bit to make the focal stand out

 Revamp with a little less going on in the background. Kenshin is a bit lighter as well. |

thats a lot better! the brighter light brings the attention to more of the area around kenshin! it could be better but i wont say much since i really cant do better |

In all honesty this is not my style at all. It's the second time I've messed with anime renders and brushing. For example, my more comfortable style would be my current sig. However, I like trying new things, and the constructive comments are always welcome because its a good way to gain ideas on what needs to be improved.

I know I know! I'm back where I started  I do think I want to put it up near that more calm area in the top left though. But what text/style/color to go with? I haven't a clue. |
