I prefer the first, non purple version. I like the idea youv went for. The garniness of the image fits with your choice of words. Even though im not fond of noisy images, i prefer smooth looking tags i think uv done a nice job.

Really nice avatar but a little on the big size, i dont thinik the stock and text is enough to fill out the space.

This one looks fantastic. Theres nothing i would change about it at all. Very good placement and i like the colour xD. Usually i prefer a boreder but this one looks great as it is.
Good work again Kira

If you look real closely... You can see a border on the last icon, babes. I'm not too happy about how the two siggies turned out. I like bright colours more to, and clear images...

The first icon I thought was decent enough. It is a bit big, but I forgot to resize it and deleted the PS file I was like DARNITWTFNOOOOOZZZ

Oh well. Pervy sig you got there btw, lew. xD Nice colours though...........

 

[Dionysos]

I really do like that. As a grainy effect it works and makes it almost spooky looking. And the way the eyes sparkle through it I think looks fantastic.
The text really compliments the sig as well.

I also prefer this one to the purple one as it fits what you were going for a lot better, though I understand the temptation to add purple and why you felt a purple version was needed .

You should be really proud of this one, I think it is fantastic.

Thanks, hun. <3

I made some new siggies just now, 3 different ones in less than an hour... So don't expect much, but I enjoy my new current sig. I made a billion versions of it. xD

Gotta love us some Ashes and Leaves xD <3

Version 1)

Version 2) The lack of border bugged me in the first. =/

Version 1) Prepare... Lotsa versions of this one. Small changes though. ^^
Black border. Black text.

Version 2) Cherry red border, cherry red text.

Version 3) No borders, black text.

Version 4) No borders, cherry red text.

Version 5) The one I like best I guess...

Many of you might know I just like the colours purple and cherry red.

C&C? ^^

 

[The Illusive Man]

Back again for another round of C&C ^^

I like the effects you have used on this one, although I dont feel this is your best work, the background is well done as is the lighting and white dab brush work, but I feel the stock could have been brought more into focus if it was more centrally aligned, and the test was a little brighter, other than that its not bad at all.

I quite like this one, and I like that you have used the lifestream theme for the sig, a bit of facial soft lighting to Tifa would make her stand out behind the green brush strokes a bit more I feel.

Now this one is excellent, and easily one of your best, I really like the cherry red branching leaves and that they bring focus onto tifa, the text placement is good and helps fill the negative space on the right, and the border really tops it off, the only thing I would chance is the diagonal line on the border to the right as it can be a little "distracting" but again that would be nitpicking of what is an excellent piece of work.

Keep it up Kira, your work is definatley an interesting style and I enjoy seeing it! ^^

New shineys.

A Laguna's Dream inspired siggy:

Also, seeing I requested a HUGE name change. LockheartAvenue/LockhartAvenue. ....

*Cough* I had to update my new sig. So... here it is, no concentrate point, it was meant to be on the text not the image. <3

I know it's shitty. But for my lack of talent on GFX, I thought it was purdy.. xD...


.......I'm not responsible for any of you dying with the cause; overdose on purples.


....Seriously...

 

[Kei]

The avatars are really awesome tbh, I have nothing to say about them except they are just amazing.

However, the siggy I like the first one but I think you should erase the bits covering her face because it looks out of place >_> and maybe do something about that white O_O

 

[Kandy-Sugar]

I really like this one. It's simple and sweet. The text is placed really well and the font and colour is very well chosen. =)

I think it needs a tad more lighting on Tifa though. It looks a little dull at the moment.

Oooh gorgeous! Lovely work on this one! I like how you've positioned Tifa and Cloud. XD

Lovely purple haze and the lighting is nice. I like the mirror effect you have on the text too!

Another lovely positioning of the couple. XD Though I think it needs to look less faded and more vibrant! The text looks really out of place to be honest and the font isn't the best, nor the colour.

I would suggest making the text horizontal and then using a neater, clean font and having a plain colour for the text.

Lovely, just like the first version. I rather like the 'x's' too!

I prefer the first version for starters.

I don't thing that placing effects over Tifa's face was the best idea.

It looks really messy to be honest. The effects should be surrounding her and making her stand out more. Not covering her up. =)

Lovely swirly green text on the 'L' and 'A'. I would suggest you choose a more neat font for the rest of the text though, so as to not make it look overloaded.

I suggest you move Tifa more into the middle as well. The background on the left looks really empty and sort of just floating there.

Well done on your efforts again! Keep it up!

 

[Six]

Thanks, Kandy. To be quite honest, I was just messing around with

that one. I actually really wanted Tifa's opacity dropped majorly, cause it was actually just about the text in this one. xD But you're right. ^^ I'll keep all that in mind next time.


Kei - Thanks. I'm trying to work on my avatars but they just seem... Dull... =/

Some new thingies:

YouTube Button.

CloTi Club Button.

And my new set:

Might look simple, but it took me ages to get rid of Tifa's background... -__________- So I was pleased even though it stinks.

 

[Big Casino]

I like this one a LOT more than the previous 2, its much cleaner looking. Uv kept the effects/brushing off her face so ur gettin a much better looking Tifa and the focal point is far more obvious and fitting. I like how uv done the capital letter aswell, did u use the pentool? The BG is simple but its nice and isnt over cluttered, a few brushes wouldnt go a miss if in the right place though.
Well done =)

Nope, it were two different swirl brushes. One looked like the L and the other like an A, so I was like; OMGAAAAAAAAW xD

I'm glad you like it!

 

[Mitsuki]

Agree with Lew here. The second version is a lot better since the effects aren't crowding her face. Now, I do think that having effects touch the subject is a really really good tactic though, but somewhere along her shoulders...just don't make it too much. The face should always be left alone, unless you're doing some lighting as if to cast a bright light or shadow. The 2nd version is really nice and the main focal is there, clear for the viewers to see. You've kept it simple which I also like since that's my preference of style...but now you just have to practice some more and see if you can still maintain that simplistic style but go beyond at the same time. ^^ Your text is unique and I like the brushing...very creative move.

You're doing a great job so far and I can tell that soon you'll create some fabulous tags. Just don't give up and remember, you don't have to overcrowd your tags with gaudy effects - sometimes simplicity is more elegant. You can create a tag with a bunch of effects and still keep it simple though, but that takes a lot of practice and lots of trials and errors. xDD Anyway, looking forward to seeing more of your tags and maybe offer a few more advice later.

 

[Six]

Been a while...



I tried to make this one a little lifestream feeling-y... The text I used is from the song Decode, by Paramore. =/ It's both a sad/happy signature.

The original thought I had, was Tifa talking to Aerith after they saved the planet, letting them know what they did succeeded, even though, they had a price to pay... =/ But it felt so depressing...

At the same time, I wanted it to be something Cloud and Tifa-nessy. xD "Do you see, what we've done." Just that they succeeded something.

Omnomnom at all the bands in this siggy xD... Made out of boredom.

A set I made for M'aiq the Liar.

This one's quite old, I dunno if I've posted it before... =/

^ I'm not fond of that one, I didn't do much to it, beside change some colours, make a weird border, and added too much text, but I STILL, love the text. Omnom. ^^


More to come soon. C&C?

 

[Six]

No comments at all on that last update...

Small update I guess... =/

Placebo sig:

Banner I made for my own and the girls' LiveJournal Community.

Aerith/!B's set:

That's it for now I think.

 

[Dolores Haze]

Oh, these torturous practice is plain old FASHIONABLE now!
I'm going to comment on everything, even stuff I have commented on. (I've only posted once, I'm fekking awful. )

--

The text is a little hard to read against the fog Whatever the font is, though, I like it =3

I like how you blended it <3 The font looks good for Jess' and your name, but not on mine T-T only because my name is longer and all curvy Other than that I like it <3 Simple but good.

I love this <3 especially the blend and how gorgeous Tifa looks. My oooonly complaint is how the text is over her face D: Other than that I think it's really very pretty.

Tifa/Kira's set:

This is really nice! I'd like to say that I love how in all the sigs the main person stands out. Bleeding Cowboys ftw <3
Why does she lack a head? T-T

Ooh, if the text was gray I would love that avatar beyond belief Veeery pretty lighting and text placement, just the blue is a bit too bright

Again, a wittle too bright D:

Eeee~ I think the colour on the avatar's text is too bright, but other than that, love. Aeeerith! <3 It's my favourite kind of pink too. You were great for making these babe

Ooh! I actually really like this, the text box is a clever addition but I'm not a huge fan of it D: It blocks out Tifa. The text is also very nice (the LHA bit). I also like the colours, especially how the dull red of her glove fits the background.

You called this 'shorrible'? xDD
I actually think the border's very original o: How'd you do that?

Cute idea and well blended.

Oooh. OOH THAT'S CLEVER I like the idea more than anything else tbh but I like the text too :3

I.. don't like it D: Sorry.

I like this! Hard to read with the varying brightness. Beautiful font also.

Ohh, Tifa! Whai is she sad.
The concept's nice, but it's a little choppy v_v I do like how you experiment a lot.

You make alot of CloTi stuff xP

That's big O_O Text is a little too dark.

Just quickly (only referring to these older sigs), try playing with the Overlay effect. For me my text is either always
A. Overlayed/Soft Light/Lowered Opacity
or
B. White/Grey/A colour that fits with Outer Glow or other effects.

<3 I do love the words you use, actually. Guessing they're quotes/from songs?

Very VERY nice!! That text doesn't fit with that grey box there. Maybe putting it to the side a little at lower opacity, or white on Overlay to make it subtle but meaningful. Very good cut and text positioning.

Oh how cute!
I love this for the idea of it. It's not a bad sig at all, and it's not a OMGWOOWWOWWOMEHI sig either, but it's so so nice. I'm not even a CloTi fan and I want it. The colours don't clash to me, the fact that they're in black&white gives it a clean effect, that makes it even better.

Only if I ignore the little boxes, I like this sig. The colour matching their images is very clever, and even the words inside the sig scattered about (which I usually wouldn't like). Border is amazing.. I'm in love with the blend. omnom.

.. Turning off Anti-Alias is never a good idea, sweetie.

Ooh! You're very original with your borders, aren't you? 8D It has a very moonlighty feel, I like it.

Btw I think Ahmed's right when he says you have a lot of text I know it's your way, but sometimes only a few words can make it perfect <3

ON TO THE SECOND PAGE!
C'mon Jess, let us march

Cute border!
Aaaaahhh!
Okay. Outer glow almost never works when the text is on Overlay Seriously, I've tried it. I like the starry, silvery look of it. On the right side I think some silver effects would be nice. The text is alright, but not all that good D:

.. I love this. I have no idea why. Just the second I saw it I fell in love with it.
... <3

You just love your borders >xP
The text.. lovely. Some of the best text use I've seen you use. Cloud looks a litte squashed there, if the sig was just Tifa I'd like it a whole lot more.

Asymmetry! I like it! The borders are very original.

I love how original you are. You're not afraid to experiment.

Do you just browse through to the 535th page of Google Images to find Tifa pics? xDD
I know you thought this was too simple, but I love it! One of the best so far. The subtle wacky purple is very nice. It's just a nice, simple, calming sig that makes you feel for Tifa.

That "For what I love.".. Wow.
Um.
Add a white border and I'll ask this sig to marry me.
Is this from Last Order?

I think the emotion and how simple this sig is is the true beauty of it. The purple tone is lovely, I don't think a better colour could've possibly been used. I'm happy you only used a little bit of text for this

This is from ACC right?
The blue from the render is a little off, if the rest was blue that would be a lot better, but you love your purple >xP it is a little too plain, but to me the text fits.

I like this one better

Eeee Aerith!
I don't know if this is the artwork's fault or not, but they look a bit cramped D:
You need to send me what brushes you use, these flowers are lovely. If they (Aerith&Tifa) had a purple touch to them, I'd love it <3

This is better The text does fit very well, and the font is elegant while not being unreadable. The effect's also very subtle, and the butterfly is a nice touch.. I might copy your style some time for a sig. I don't like the bright whatever that is in the lower left corner though.

I like this! Very colourful while not too garish, and the way you've made them purple is very nice. The 'COLOURS' looks off to me from some reason, I'm guessing you meant to be make it like a rainbow?
(I swear the guy on the right in the back is watching me.)

This gives the sig a 'fuller' feel, I like it.

Very nice colouring, especially the steely look of his hair, not sure how to use it. The text is veeery unique, and I do like how Tifa's there.

I like this too, the glow is very nice and makes it warmer.

My least favourite. I can tell where you were going with this, but it's just too dark.

My fingers hurt.

I don't get it He's drowning? What?

Ohmai I love how you execute the text, the effects are brilliant. This sig would be perfect with grey/purple text rather than pink.

I don't see the difference with the other

Me likey! They look a little cramped - are you using the Free Transform Tool? Don't, resize it properly with the Image Size thing. The text is very nice, are they two different fonts?


There's big gaps between some of these, I think I got them all otherwise my net's just shit.

Not a big fan D: The effects take over the sig a little too much, but the text made me giggle

Aaaah! Clever! AAAAAAAAAAAH! I like it! That arrow is so cool

Omnom pretty. The text is a little off I WAS GOING TO USE THIS I just had too much in my sig when you made it T-T The effects are nice, did you affect her colouring? It looks really nice to mee

Is that a render? O__O
I looooove it. Text is a little hard to make out, but I love the subtle blood effects. The brush under the text is good too - is this the game you said I had a laugh from? ;;;

Pretty <3
However you make it somewhat solid purple, you need to tell me The text is hard to read though, and the font doesn't look that great

I like this more, mainly because the text is more subtle. <3

My computer refuses to load your wallpaper thing T-T

Gorgeous! The effects looks great with it, the colours are amazing and I love her eyes. This sig is just love for me.

Don't like it as much D: The other was far nicer.

My wrist aches o3o /whine

OOHHH I remember you showing me this. So frigging cute <333 It's simple but gives across a good message. The text is very nice too, especially the slight sparkle to it.

-drinks tea-

You should put this on the community sometime. It's simple but nice, and clean.

Isn't Shera his ship? Who's that woman?
/plotfail

I like it, especially what you used as text. It's a little small though, and to me the render needs to be blended in a biiit better. Blue was a very good colour to use btw. <3

Aaaaah! Me likey!
.. Is this from a render? If so, that's amaaazing. The text is good too, what is that font you used for 'Lifestream'? The thinness is good too, again, very clean

The border does finish it off well :'D

So so pretty! Especially the xxx's :'D the effects on her face aren't very nice, if they were just on her hair that would be nicer. Lovely colours and a beautiful image. Are those clouds you've used for a background?

I feel bad that I'm not talking to you on MSN. REALLY bad.

I like the other one's text more, but the border on this fits better for me.

I love you, but please, I can't comment on those other versions. I won't have much to say about them; these two are my favourite though.

I love it! The B is most prominent which I think is very well done, and Tifa looks rather sad too T_T

I'm getting lazy with my comments now n.n I love the blending, did you do it?

I don't like this one as much, the text is a little too bright. It looks like a very nice font though.

.. I'm not seeing any posts of mine yet.. .. have I never posted here..?

Don't like as much D: simplicity is good, but something's a little off in it for me.

It looks like what could be a gorgeous sig, but the fact that the effects go over her face doesn't look very nice at all T__T

I like the text loads more in this one - GIVE ME THOSE BRUSHES.

Love! I think it's very good, sometimes it's hard to make nice smaller graphics. The colours are sweet too, and the text simple but beautiful.

Heh. Heh.
What's exactly going on there?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Love. She looks so crisp and beautiful, the cut is excellent as is the positioning of both the images AND the brush/text. The sparkles look so pretty, and the brown offsets the purple perfectly.

Again! Love it! Especially how it darkens in one place and then the text turns up. I'll also give you props for rendering it! I can't find a fault in it.

Holyshit on the last page.

Curse you all for not commenting on her beautiful work.

The border looks off to me, to start with. The background's very nice, a little too.. hm. I don't know how to put it - it doesn't have as much as a 'flow' to it, I think it is. Loving the text (Decode! ), and that shade of green looks very nice with the image.

This is really nice! I only know a few of these though >_> -counted the white letters to see if they made a message-
I think it must've taken a lot of effort and patience, the LA is a nice addition too.

Seems a bit plain. I like it, but he takes up too much of the icon for me

Whatever you did to make him blend with the background, it's great! It's good to see you working with red The text is good, but the border's a bit too light for me - ooh, I see, it's on Overlay.
Not my favourite, but I like the feel it gives off <3

I can't believe I can tell by a WELL that it's CloTi The Seven Years is hard to see, but I think it's a nice avatar.

OH MAH GAWD LAST ONE

Stop torturing yourself by rendering! HER HAIR! THOSE STRANDS LOOK IMPOSSIBLE! T___T

I like the text, it fits her expression veeery well. Despite the blankness of the sig, I very much like it - especially the overlay border.

You've really progressed tbh
And I do love you, I was just all weird on MSN because I was in sore-wrist cranky mood But I'm good now.
Never let me get behind on your gfx ever again, I seriously feel awful. You make such lovely stuff.

.. Is that like some bloody Baby Born made from straw?!
The text is good. Um. Colour is a little too plain.. like too solid.. it's good though <3
umm...
KIRA IT'S LOOKING AT ME

PRETTY! PREEEEEEETTY The border - like how you've shaped it - makes the sig peerfect! I love all of it, especially the text and colours. Tifa looks beautiful.

I remember you showing me this~
It has a really nice look to it, clean. The text is really well placed, and the sig looks a LITTLE plain, but it looks more clean and simple to me.
I see wot u did thar wiv the bordah~

I feel bad for not using this.
I should.
I WILL.
HONEST.
/guilt
Right. It's really nice, very pink awesome I especially like the text, it seems perfect really. LaPointe's Road can be a pain in the arse, but it really fits here. The stroke is a nice add too~ So's the flower.

The av's cute tew! <3 Little plain though, and the 'Xiayou' is hard to see

Some stuff I made before going to bed in a minute.

Been on a icon-trying-out-roll or something.

Random Siggy.

 

[Big Casino]

I love the image uv used here, its creepy as hell =D
I think the red stands out a bit to much maybe try and tone it down a little bit.

I seen them live =P
One of my favourites by you so far. I think its the text that i like so much about it. Great font putting 'like' in white was definately a good idea. Border is sexy aswell ;p

Excellent work on both of these, they look amazing. The text is placed amazingly well and youv chosen your fonts to perfection. Loving the red light in the first one. Great job.

Without a doubt the best signature youv made yet imo. The colours are fantastic, theyre not to overwhelming which i really like and they help to blend Tifa in very nicely.
I cant believe how many lines of text there is and yet it works excellently. Having the top and bottom line on a lower opacity was a great idea. Superb work on this one Kira. Your improving fast. =)

Sorry for not commenting earlier, i didnt realise !B was the only one posting

 

[Dolores Haze]

.. WTF. :mark:
WHEN DID YOU GET SO INSANELY GOOD? WTH THAT'S INSANE.

/raving madwoman

I see I've affected you with my You Found Me spammage Soo pretty, especially the "All I needed was a call" one. The burst of colour is wonderful :mark: The other one - the image needs Sharpening I think, but that's not your fault -smacks AC-
Anyway. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I hate you You and your amazing sig T_T I love the text, and the colouring is perfect. The simplicity of it makes it peeerfect

Aaaaarggh Amazing stuff :mark:

 

[Kei]

Sorry for not commenting I just couldn't be arsed for a while D:

This tag looks very good I like the blurriness in the background and Tifa look like she had been fixed up ._. the text is good and placed quite well, mind you the name of the text? the only thing I can say is maybe make it a little bit bright <_< or add lighting coming down with a 100 white soft brush on the edge other than that it's really a great piece Kira. ^__^
