    That's true, I accidentally deleted the .psd of yours Nem, kept the sig though. I have this habit of instantly cleaning my recycle bin with a reg cleaner every time I delete something. I'm quite pleased with how yours turned out though.

    Can any creative members recommend me some good tutorials please? Maybe some smudging and lighting ones. I've never really used them properly before and think it's about time I start brushing up on my skills.

    Yup, it's back home! ;)

    FYI, Sig Duel #4 SHOULD be finishing up soon, Sid's really busy at the moment so it's just a matter of him finding time to do a sig.

    I'm not being too picky with the time limit, because I just want to have the final round, winning by default would suck!

    OH YEAH! I forgot this thread already existed! :eek:

    I think it's a good idea, let's try and keep some of the sig discussion in here instead of cluttering up the sig threads themselves.

    Sound decent?

    that doesn't bode well cos i think that looks great!

    it's done, but for the time it's taken i think it could have been a lot better. i preferred it when the pics were closer together but there was no way of filling the horizontal space and it looked too short. and i don't like your name as far as text goes! it always causes me problems! ;)

    not sure, might have another crack at it tomorrow if i get a chance. but it's one of those where i like it more the longer i look at it. any ideas for improvements?

    Damn, that's sexy! :love:

    The only thing that stands out to me in the black brush work to the left of the center figure.
    It might be a little too defined/un-subtle.
    Maybe even a lower opacity would help it out.

    I know what you mean about my username, haha! It's a hard one to incorporate into a sig.
    That's why I always like to do it in cursive, that way it at least has some shape to work with.

    I'm gonna rock it for now, and feel free to send along/post any work in progress stuff (if you keep slaving away at it).

    Thanks for going to the trouble man, I really appreciate it! :D

    ps. See, THIS is what this thread's all about!

    Nice update man, that changes a lot of the sig's dynamic right there. Wow! :thumbs:

    LOVE that subtle red border too, nice lighting on it too.
