The background is nice but the render doesn't blend too well. Otherwise not too much I can say about it

Edit:
The drop shadow on the text seems to be a bit too far away from the text itself.

Get a less pixelated text. It looks bad like that.

The shadow behind the text on top is too far away, move it in a good 20-30 pixels.

The render is really choppy, try and find a better one. It looks as if someone took it right out of the old cartoon. Not appealing to the eye.

If I were to rate it, I'd give it a 3.

Do you even know what pixelated means?

Do you realise how far is 20-30 pixel away?

Is it me or everyone's renders are always too choppy for you?

Why would I want to change my render? I took it because I wanted it.

It is actually from an old cartoon, Duh.

I dont even consider your rate because you only give 4-5 to your group of friends. No matter how their sig are.
I'd be highly interessted to see how are your own sigs. Because you freely critize everyone without posting any of yours.

@Al3x
Thank you. I thought the same for the blending job when I finished it, but I was too lazy to restart.

I do know what pixelated means. I do indeed know how far away 20-30 pixels is. You know what I meant by that area about the signature.. I meant that the quality is dull and it doesn't look very appealing.

I was just giving suggestions, you don't HAVE to do them, I'm just recommending them.

I rate my friends' signatures a high rank because they deserve it. Your other signatures look good but there are some that just look like a 3. I'm not going to go and lie about what I'm going to rank your signature, or I'd look like an idiot.

And next time, just quote my entire post, not every single sentence. :roll:

Consider yourself lucky that...

Well, Mods lock this, I feel it will turn bad if you dont.

I know you had this locked but I just wanted to clear up a couple of things.

Steven - you may have been looking at the signature without viewing the full image, as it is scaled down and makes the text appear a bit rougher, but that's not pixellation. Pixellation is this, basically:

Wikipedia wrote:

An example of pixellation. The image looks smooth when zoomed out, but when we view a small section more closely, the eye can distinguish individual pixels.

Iron Maiden -

I think your font is an appropriate style for the signature, but it is too thin and therefore the stroke is very overpowering.

20-30 pixels is also a bit much for that shadow.

But I know what you mean. However it does depend on what kind of style you're going for. You could move it back to a distance of just a few pixels and change the size to 0; I think that would be more appropriate to fit the cartoon theme of the signature. In my opinion your font is good as it suits the background, but you should put some better effects on it. A bright green stroke is a bit plain.

Much work needs to be done on blending in the render though. For a start the edges are very choppy, but also it just doesn't fit with the background which you really can't do much about unless you want to really rework the whole sig. You made the background a very difficult one to blend into, especially when it has such a different texture to the render. I don't mean to sound condescending but I think it would be a good idea to have a look for some advanced full signature tutorials (now that you know how to make a signature like this you should definitely be ready to move on to more in-depth stuff) which should explain how to design signatures by creating your own background based around the render you've chosen.

If you wanna reply to this you can PM me but I'm happy just leaving this here for you.
