Not bad, considering the amount of time you've had with photoshop. I'd suggest trying to make smaller signatures first, when we first start photoshop, I know it's comforting to work with a bigger peice, but it's harder to fill.

And, trying more tutorials could be useful too, they're actually pretty good if you can find one at your level =]

smaller

blimey whats posted there is small compared to the size i use in psp lol ( 500 x 200 )

and yeah i do need tutorials but i hate them lol i taught meself almost everything in psp but tut's for photoshop that i've looked at are bonkers
a few of my friends write tutorials but not much to my liking so lol i'll have a poke about here see if anything simple grabs me eye lol so thanks for the comment

going murder with the scanlines there, eh? I'd suggest implementing some vector brushes to your work, and learning some smudging. Or just perhaps, fucking around with random shit and going wild.

Also, tutorials help. But don't use them to learn how to make the signature, use them to learn how to use the techniques you've been taught by them.

yeah the scanlines on the pinkey/red one did go very wrong but that was just me lmao no tut lmao

500x200 is a size to avoid, It's way too big, and I know some pros at photoshop who don't make signatures that big xD

325x150 is a good practise size, but you should vary it and find one that suits you.

Dereks right, try some brushes and some smudging too =] And use tutorials to get the skills from there, so after awhile you won't need to use them at all.

That's pretty good, actually. The background effects kinda goes with the stock quite well. Anyway, keep it up!

I really like the first siggy, especially with the "Biteme" text layer in the top left; made me laugh. Although I guess part of the stock could have been taken from the original Macalania background, it is still very well done with the changes you made to it. It's one of those siggies that I would use myself!
