I love this one!

I love how you've put red lights around her hair, and don't know if anyone else has noticed but the little light down the right side of her hair is perfectly placed, it looks like a rose. Which kind of relates to her whole theme (Rose of May)

And I also love the brushes in the sig as well, and the render is beautiful! Good Job!

Ok. I promised I'd catch up and here it is. I warn everybody that I'm commenting on everything in this thread as I haven't yet.

So here we go Markie.

I love the dark browns of this piece. Though the lighter circles at the bottom feel a little too "block" like for me. If the colour faded slightly, I think it'd have been a little better. I love the font and placement. It's nice and simple. A border might have finished it off perfectly, but at the same time, it could ruin it.

I'm not sure about the colours in this one. I love the blues but the flame like effect coming from her hand - the colours feel a little too... contrasting to me. A border would look good here. Again, font is simple and effective!

Not used to seeing this size from you. =P I love the blue and greyish tones. It's way different to the usual purple used for Fran. I love the absence of text too. I think text in this one might have overcrowded it. Very nice work.

I really am bit a DBZ fan. But I like the green colours in this. The brushwork is nice but I'm not so sure about the text. It feels a little too 'punky' for the image.

small canvas again. I like. I love the blue on the left and then the pink to the right of Aerith. The text here is absolutely amazing. Some of the best text work I have seen from you. The border is lovely, really finishes the piece of.

Very colourful. Very pretty. She's blended in nicely and the white half border really adds something. I think the text might have been better just a little lower down, but again, it's stunning!

Looks like one of my borders. Love the image used, you've really made the background fit it well. I think the text could be better and brough in towards Sophitia a little. Other than that, really nice.

Another lovely Aerith sig. I love the lighting on the right, and how it reflects off her face. It really draws your eye to her and the fact there isn't a border, doesn't take anything away from the overall image. Text <3

Tiny canvas. That splash going from the left is nice. The text is a little hard to read (either that or I'm going blind. XD Lovely piece overall.

I remember this one. Can't remember if I ever commented on it though. I love the effects. The lighting and splash behind Mewtwo is really effective and the very simple font really finishes the piece well.

I don't like the font in this one. It just seems a little blah to me. Love the effects in this piece, however. The way it seems to be blasting out around her looks really good!

Did you get fixated on this font? The soft lighting looks nice and the c4d is simple yet effective. A very calming looking piece!

I'm going to ignore the fact that it's that font because this sig is absolutely stunning. I love the image and the balls of light. It's very very pretty!

Ew font. D: I love the smudged look around Alexis however and the way the edges are a lighter colour. Simple border! <3

Not keen on the font, but I like the dark, almost gothic/romantic feel to this piece. It suits her character very very well. And the way she's blended is fantastic. =]

Font
Lighting is very very nice her. It's almost as though he's trying to come through the signature to get me. Creepy! LOVE the effects though =D

Font... XDDD
Those lines on the left are really nice and the gentle effects give the piece an overall aesthetically pleasing look!

Font could be better. >.< But I like the almost monotone colour. Great image of Stevie, though i can't imagine it being easy to work with. It appeals to the Stevie fangirl within me.

Not keen on the (wait for it) font, again. Sorry. >_>
The left side looks really nice and the blending is awesome. The fact that the right side is not the same colour really gives it some extra oomph!

Despite hating DBZ, I think this piece looks really good. The lighting makes it look like he's powering up and the font is simple and really good! Lack of border doesn't take away from it.

Text might look better a little more to the left. Love the building background and the funkyness of the effects around our little hero. Great piece. =3

Font >.<
I love the little circles of light around the text and the ball in her hand on the right. She looks really good here. You Jean Grey fanboy.

The sparkly lighting on the left contrasts the more cloudy ones on the right, making for a nice overall effect. Great image of Stevie again and love the negative space off to the right. Font is simple... gonna ignore which font it is... you made a quite large lyric fit in nicely. =3

Not sure the font was the best choice.
I adore the warm colour scheme. It's very appealing on the eye. The lighting is really nice too. Blending, as usual, is <3

Gorgeous image of Stevie. And the effects look really nice with it. Font could be better but it's not bad. =P

font. Do. not. like. D:
The blending on the left feels a little harsh to me but the effects on the right draw the eye more to there. nice border to finish it off. ^.^

You're as bad as B with the Bleeding Cowboys font.
Could do with a little more lighting coming up from the bottom I think, to lighten up her face a little. Other than that, I like the C4D effects =D

I'm deleting that font from your PC.
However, GORGEOUSLY simple signature. The black and white with splashes of blue is stunning. I LOVE IT!

The red of the text feels a little harsh. The effects coming up from the bottom are amazing. You're a pro at negative space btw.

Omnom Stevie. red always looks so good with her. And that random pinkish splash is so pretty. XD Text is nice and simple.

I love this one. Not keen on the font used for "thorn" bit the red and blue looks absolutely jaw dropping together. You're the master of simplicity :3

I want a Glaceon one like this. It's absolutely gorgeous.
The C4D looks freaking amazing and the colours are fabulous. Text looks fantastic too. Definitely one of my favourite pieces by you!!

AMG THAT FONT! I have NIGHTMARES about that font.
However! The effects ranging out from Ling look REALLY nice and the lighting on her hands reminds me of when she charges up in battle Lovely piece overall.

Amazing piece. Font... -twitch;-
The colouring looks yummy and the lighting really catches my eye. I love it. Amanda should use it! XD

Ohhhh VERY nice lighting here. Nice and simple effects too. The goldish border is different but looks really good. Great piece!

CelesxLocke ftw! I've been waiting to see a good sig using this image and this is it. Font could be a little better. >.< The gold lighting however, is just delicious. I love it. x3

Awwwww this one is too cute for words! It's adorable. I can't really say anything more on it other than that. XD

Fuck me. I LOVE this sig. Everything about it is pure sex. AMG I WANNA EAT IT!

I wanna rape this one but I don't think it's allowed. <_< The darkness of the piece is really nice with the lighting surrounding Fran. Another favourite. x3

Feel like I've repeating myself. Sorry about that.

I love the blue lighting here. And the circles look really nice. I have a weakness for Circles, can you tell?

Omnomfuckingnom. AMAZING effects and the border makes the piece even more striking. This piece is stunning Markie.

Ohhhh black and white. Very nice image. I love the font/text too. Very simple and artistic.

I love that you don't try to do anything too out there with your pieces. You keep them looking clean but amazing. This one is no different. The effects are really nice and the lighting is fucking gorgeous.
Love that font too. =P

Another stunning Gaga piece. Looks like she's coming out of the background. Really nice effect that. I lovies it!

I wonder who your main muse is.
Font is a little odd but it seems to fit. I love the white background. Makes it feel really minimalist. Lovely. =3

Sexy indeed
Blended beautifully. Warm colours really set the piece off. Love it.

I'm not sure about this one. I'm not sure what it is... But something doesn't quite sit right with me. Sorry. >.<

Very very sexy. I love the rose lighting and the absence of text. Very simple and beautiful.

I love red and blue together. They always look so striking and this piece is no different. Whilst I'm not a star wars fan (I think this is Star Wars O_O) I love this piece!

One of the best Stevie sigs EVER! BLue splashes of light really give it something. LOVE IIIIIIIT!!!

I'm not sure about this one either. I can tell you were at a low inspiration point with this one. D: Love the text though.

AMG I FUCKING LOVE IT.
The pinky purples are perfect match for Lulu. Border is simple. Text looks amazing. One of my favourites!

o0oer. I think the only thing that could make this better is a border.

Disney! I love this image. It's so romantic and you've lit it lovely. Font is elegant and really sets the piece going! <3

The background is kinda crazy looking, fitting Kefka like a glove. And the way you've made him almost glow looks really good. I like your work on smaller canvas. <3

I think the Beauty and the Beast one was better tbh. This one is a little... empty for me and I'm not keen on the text. >.<

Like the effects and the text. Don't like the image

Don't like the red font.

The rest of it looks stunning. The pale blue and white looks great together and it's one of my fave images of the pair together

Nice attempt with the image quality guys. The red lighting feel a little off and that font... -twitch;-

Gorgeous. Love the effects and the lighting and the colour scheme is divine.

I almost refused to comment on this piece. (I hate Cheryl) The image feels a little blurred to me and I'm not sure about the text. The purple and red lighting looks lovely, however.

Omnomnom. That's all I can say. It's delisssssssssh.

I prefer the larger one. Circles! YUMMY!
Not sure about the font for Phoenix. >.<
The lighting is amazing and the circles really give it that added xfactor. Amazing overall piece! The signature size is pretty too. I just preferred the larger one.

Ohhhh very pretty. I love the unfocused circles. They're simple but eyecatching. Love colours too!

I love the soft colours of this. If you added a border, I think it'd ruin it. The same with text. Simple and clean. Very nice.

Ohhhh very pretty. Nice and soft lighting. I love it. No text! Looks complete without it. Nice job guys.

TheText is a bit out there
Love the blue lighting and the warmth of the background colours! ^^

Stop making me comment on DBZ!
tHe effects on this are stunning, however. Text... not so much. D:

Very very cute. Love the negative space and the effects surrounding the girl. Lovely!! x3

Divine. I love it. Lovely focal, gorgeous text. Simply amazing <333

The lighting is really nice here and I like the text alot. I love teh sketchy background. Lovely piece despite my hatred for ashe.

Penelo looks gorgeous here surrounding by the pink light. I love the background and the focal finishes it off perfectly!!

Ohhhh sexy. Great image of Basch and the effects are fantastic. Love this one.

I'm so glad you didn't grace this sig with his name I'm surprised you didn't die making a Vaan sig.

I like the effects and lighting. Cher love child -shudder;-

Ohhh very nice piece. Love the wavy lighting and the colours. Suits Cassandra perfectly. You really have an eye for colours. x3

The colour scheme is to die for. It's simple and allows for nice lighting. Not sure about the font but it still works well. Lovely signature, twinnieface!

I want to nom this piece. The lighting is gorgeous. The read really stands out against the stark whites. omnomnom.

Not keen on the text, but the flow of the sig is lovely. Everything is going in one direction and the reddish pink contrasts the aqua blue nicely. Very pretty.

VERY PRETTY.
Love that image. And the soft lighting is fucking lovely. Not sure about the font colour, but it's a gorgeous piece overall.

Yay. I remember this one. I love the effects and lighting. I was so proud to use this image when I was Ulath. x3

Effects on this are amazing. It's simply just an fucking great piece.

Red. So very red.
Lovely focal. Lovely lighting. Just a lovely piece really. XD Well done guize.

I quite like the text. XD
I like the cleanness off the white and how the blue draws that out. The feeling of the sig matches the image fantastically.
(We need to collaborate more. >_>)

I can't say anything other that freaking amazing for this piece.

You should now how I feel about this one. XD

Her face looks a little dark, but I love it other than that. The pink lighting is nice and that image of her never gets old.

She scares me. >.<
The reds are lovely and she looks quite positively frightening. XD Nice piece though.

I prefer the smaller version. The pink text is a little too eye catching imo. But I love the black and white theme. It's really nice.

omnom. Not keen on the text but I love the effects surrounding Stevie and the image you've used it just... I wanna eat her.

Yum

(Sorry, C&C might be a bit lacking from here... wrist is starting to hurt. >.<)

It's gorgeous. The lighting is divine. I wanna eat it.

Amazing set. I think it's really striking and it fits Beabitch perfectly. XD

Ohhhh I like this. Love the colours!!!

i prefer the one you're using. Still, I like this one.

WIP? I cannot wait to see this one finished!

This one is gorgeous. A border and text would finish it perfectly. (Do you think I could have a go at putting text on it? D: XDDDD It's too gorgeous to resist. '_' )




SO THERE WE GO. CAUGHT UP. Don't let me EVER get that far behind again... EVER. D=

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Oh I really like this one!

It has a very nice and clean look about it and I really love the red highlights around her hair. It draws your attention to her more.

THe specs in the background work in nicely and create a nice effect.

Very appealing colours and I quite like fonts used. The red really stands out nicely too.

The black border works well and seems to make the signature stand out a lot more too!

Keep up the awesome work!

 

[Jasmine You]

I am so loving this one, finished or not O:
I'd say a little text or so and you can call it finished, but even now I think you can call it finished. It's soft and well-rounded everywhere. What else cna ya add? O:
I wanna see this D<
♥

 

[Daenerys]

Thanks for the comments guys!

Here's my latest stuff. Been really swamped with coursework lately, so I haven't had as much time in photoshop as I would have liked.

Glee SOTW sig. Can I just point out how much of a bitch animation is? I HATE it xD

I finished off my Stevie WIP

SOTW 133 winning entry (Thanks for the votes guys! ^^)

Maleficent set for Mandi -

I toyed around entering one of these in this weeks SOTW, but I went with something else instead -

 

[Smiley]

Omg, I love this one. Its nice and simple and the coloured spots give it a cute flare that I love. I don't think text would've suited this kind of piece, which is a good thing because you didn't put any. absolutely gorgeous. Great work.

 

[Daenerys]

New stuff. I'm actually trying to do something with avatars now. Think I've totally given up on text. Haaate it. -

 

[SapphireStar]

Youre just ... wow ... you are one of my top artits on here. Still adore my Persona siggie XD You are inspiring me so much. The pieces are just mind blowing and fabulous!!!

 

[Daenerys]

Feeling kinda low on inspiration lately. I mainly start things but don't finish them. Here's stuff I have made -

SOTW Winner (Thanks for the votes guys! ^^)

Set for Diana. Wanted to try a different size and approach when I made her signature. I quite like it xD

 

[King Sean]

OMFG You are awesome

I love this piece. The colours are brilliant. I love the different spots of color here and there are very good and professional. The effects with the C4D look very good. The focal looks great and I think that the canvas size goes very well with everything. The border brings everything together very nicely.

You have gotta make tutorials on some of these pieces. You are very talented

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

I really like these last two.

The avatar is so pretty! I love the simplicity of it and the little pink glow in the corner really makes it gorgeous. <3 Stands out nicely.

The signature is awesome.

I love the soft colours and the pretty lighting coming up from the bottom of the signature.

The reddish glow on her hair is gorgeous and the blending is done awesomely.

I really like the font you used for the text too.

Good work!

 

[Daenerys]

Thank you so much for the comments! ^^

Little update.

Lightning XIII Sig Request. I tried to make something different to the one I made for Diana

Current signature. I wanted to try working with a canvas that was just a biiit bigger

SOTW 137 entry (Thank you so much for the votes guys! ^^)

 

[Eight]

The love the use of light and colour on the Mew one, especially the blue waves and how the light makes it look as if its crashing through. Really nice work there.

I like the use of colour on the Stevie Nick's one too, and I like how black and white remain dominant on the Lightning one.

 

[Gaige]

I love the Lightning sig. It has a really subtly attractive background, without decreasing the focus off Lightning herself and the amber glow is great for pulling the eyes to her.

Again the second sig has a great combination of colours; the red and gold go brilliantly together. The slightly sepia tone of Stevie herself still manages to make the eyes go to her though.

A great explosion of colours with the Mew sig, and Mew's been really well positioned and focussed on. A really great picture to work on and a great result.

 

[Daenerys]

Thanks for the comments guys ^^

This is something I made quite by accident, but I really liked it -

I then decided to try and replicate this style again, using only brushes and the like, no filters and no C4Ds, so something totally different for me xD I decided to make 8 FFXIII signatures -

 

[Coco]

These are amazing, Mark.

This is brilliant. It's probably my favorite out of your past updates. The blending of the background into Yuna is flawless. The colors are sweet and magical. The touches of pink on her hair and in her clothes are eye catching. I like the font you used, it's a nice balance. Very, very attractive.

I think you entered this in an SOTW? And I'm pretty sure I voted for it. Very romantic piece. The splashes around them create a nice, close effect and the touches of pink on the three places where the two persons connect is brilliant. It may have probably looked better without a border, but that's just a tiny critique to a very polished tag.

I love where you're going with this style. It's simple, classic and beautiful. It feels like a painting almost, except with bright spots of colors here and there. The half white border also is perfect for completing this style. I like your works better without text, it leaves the viewer to just focus on the tag as a whole. The soft, gray background really adds depth to them and adding brushes works because it doesn't empty the tag of effects. Very nice suject placement and the colors are beautiful.

Keep them coming, Mark! I am absolutely loving this. <3

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

Oh wow I really love those FFXIII signatures you've made!

They're all gorgeous!

I love the tinges of glowing colour around each character.

I really love this style! It's very appealing. <3

 

[Daenerys]

Thank you both for the lovely comments ^^

Latest shizz -

 

[Six]

Returning the favour 'cause I appreciate the feedback. ^^

Love these. I wish they had some text. xD

The subtle hints of colour you picked with the flashy white look really nice. I'm especially loving the Hope and... Vanille (I think it is - I can't be fucked to know her name ) one's. They're gorgeous.

Stock is placed really nicely, and even though these signatures eye simple, I really like the simple glossy look they have.

My favourite piece by you so far. As I already told you in a + rep comment I think - The text is absolutely your best yet.

Being honest, I always kept thinking you had some improving on your text to do still ^^ But this piece is absolutely gorgeous, with the graphics, colours, and text complimenting each other very nicely.

The only thing - was that her hair looked a bit greasy with the effects you used, like it was stuck to her hair with gel or something xD All in all though, maybe just watch that filter a bit.

Text is gorgeous. xD (Keeps repeating it).

Text.

Loving the simple hints of blue, and vectors in the back. Once again, the white is simple, but very effective. It makes for really nice tags, and a sweet style to try out.

^^ Keep it up, and thanks for the comments on my work.

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

I really do love this one!

The colours are simply gorgeous! The pinks around her give off a nice effect seeing as the majority of the signature is black and white.

The text is awesomely done too! I love how you used the same colours as what's in the signature. It stands out beautifully.

I really like the pattern around her too. It looks interesting and is blended around her nicely making her stand out very well.

Fantastic lighting too!

Keep up the great work!
