Recently, I've been doing a lot of work in photoshop. I made a bunch of sigs because thats an easy way to learn and practice tutorials I find on the net.

But anyway, which one do you like best?

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

Any critique are welcome Smile

Last time we spoke, I was liking number 1 the best... but now that I get to see them all next to each other, I'm thinking number 4 is the one I like the most. 1 looks like it's in a pool of water, and 4, to me, it COULD look as if light was bouncing off a spider web that was laced over some marble like looking stone. That gives it a simple feel that matches up with the game. =]

I picked #2. Where do you get you fonts, styles and brushes from?

Number four... I'm not a big fan of large animation in sigs, and this has just the right subtle amount for me.

I like the splotchey pattern apparent in 2, 4, and 7. It reminds me of an ancient map, some sort of 1400's parchment piece, or one of those old globes.

Anyway 5 and 7 tie for second favourite, but they didn't make it because I think they would look nicer as smaller pieces.

1 is just too swirley for me, (doesn't match the board colors! Gasp!), 2 has a bit too much animation, the font in 3 doesn't seem to match the background... and 6 is pretty cool, but perhaps a little 'too much'.

How was that for a lot of commentary!

I like number 3, except for the font. Use the same font as in number 2, but without the animation (and place it to the right so it doesn't cover the spider) and you have a winner in my opinion Smile

The font and text in number 6 placed on the background of number 2. Put the text on the right side instead of the left, though, and get rid of the animation (fade) effect.

As it stands, I like #2 best.
