Like the signature more than you dislike it?
not bad for starters. good luck~
Thank you jhoijhoi, Keondre, LaCorpse, The_Nameless_Bard, Arcana3, Apfeljack, Hogopogo, eddie199, Xiaowiriamu, and JEFFY40HANDS for the spectacular sigs!
Post your start please. With what kind of picture you started. Because in my opinion the only thing you did was Black Background, Random render, text. That's not really called a signature.
Other people already told it: download photoshop or relative to photoshop like GIMP.
But this is something you can do with lunapic.com

Com'on guys, seriously....he asks for feedback and Sarcasm gave it. When you're an artist in any genre you get critiques and if you want to ever get good at it you need to be able to take any format of feedback and turn it into something in which you can improve on. In this instance Sarcasm has actually given some valid points. The glow does look sloppy and the render did lose focus. Furthermore it is empty.
Anyways, first of all on a light note, good first attempt, better than what I could of done when i first started. Secondly, the initial image was better, after re-sizing it, you lost a fair bit of focus and sort of went blurry. also the text was better before, as it sort of 'fitted' better with the overall style of the signature, such as the color being better coordinated. I also believe that in this particular signature, stroke works better than glow. Glow is presumably used when your signature has effects that link with 'glow' ie. c4d's, soft lights etc.
Tips:
- Get Photoshop or other related software (this will give you a much wider range of effects, styles and tools to achieve better signature outcomes)
- Keep practicing, asking for feedback on your first signature is pretty useless, no offence.
- Check out various tutorials, techniques and styles related to the software you use.
Hope this helps, and don't be deterred away from criticism, however so constructive... not everyone's signatures are perfect. Just keep going, you'll improve. :)
But yo. Gotta hate the player regardless.
LOLOLOL I love how very critical things have gotten. I don't care honestly, I asked for feedback but let me just clear things up here.
1. When it comes to Sarcasm, I was arguing with him because he was categorizing my tastes based on this one image that I one day posted on here for the hell of it for feedback. It was indeed very basic and was not meant to be a legit attempt at all...LOL. This is why I was getting annoyed with him directly attacking my tastes in aesthetics. I claimed that this image is artful in many ways that he wasn't considering, I wasn't arguing that it was a solid signature.
2. I have not at all taken criticism negatively, it's constructive yes. I only argued when personal aspects were attacked un-justly.
3. I did not add a black background...I kept the image the same, it's in ways i suppose even less of a signature than the one who claimed I added anything myself assumed. I found an image I liked a lot, altered it slightly and added text so that I could have a quick "signature" for myself that I liked. Don't think it was such a hard claim/attempt. =)

No Sarcasm is being a troll again. Robo just ignore his comments. Ik this is you're first sig and all thats why I gave you some basic tips :D All the things I said are very easy to attempt, and would be good for you to try ;) Sarcasm, is expecting you to know like EVERYTHING. Or at least know... Just don't mind him... He has advice, but his advice can be very... Off putting. So yeah, just do some simple things, like move you're render around, and your Text around. Decide if you want to make the Render the main attention, or if you want to make the Text the main attention.
Thank you, and I didn't even know you were supposed to have your own background and a render that you are ABLE to move around, lol. I will look up a signature tutorial online since if I want any feed back on this website it can't be such an innocent attempt apparently or Sarcasm will cutt throat go for my personal tastes which is completely unjust and kind of weird tbh.

1) I said that the render/image was becoming LQ and that it was empty.
2) Claim it's fine based off... your taste.
3) I said your taste is monotonic.
Then you give me some BS about how I'm judging you based off one entry. Well since it's your only entry, I really don't have a reference point. Sure I might be jumping to conclusions but I'm trying to give advice on how to make a better signature. I only commented your "personal aspects" when I felt it was in the way of the signature's progress.
But I really shouldn't have bothered since this isn't a "legit" or "solid" attempt. Try a plain blue square next time. It'll save you the effort.
P.S. A plain blue square would be a graduation from shades as well.
Lol, you have some arrogant miss-conception of the world...If I could remove this thread, solely to avoid more pointless, derailed conversation with you, I would. You obviously are not getting my point since you just keep reiterating the same points over and over. Nothing against you per say, but you are not catching the fact that I am not arguing with your judge of the signature but with the excessive application of assumptions that are coming a long with it.
Lastly, "Claim it's fine based off...your taste." this is not true, again you are missing what I said still. I said, without such detail, that based off of my tastes the image itself alone without being critiqued with the rest of the aspect of my signature, was okay based off of my taste. I wanted a signature and with it's black background it was "okay" to me not great, not optimal, but okay. The rest of the image is what I was admitting needed to change badly. The background was the far lesser of anything because innately it had beautiful meaning to the show and since it's MY signature I would appreciate that fact and not need to apply a meaningless aesthetic background.
Haha, so seriously, can we stop this bickering? I hope this cleared it up fully.
