The avatar looks really cool turbo!

The userbars aren't too great. I did userbars a veeerrry loooong time ago.

The userbar might look better if it was longer and thinner. Also, the image you put on the right should be bigger than the userbar, but make it so it doesn't "pop out".

The COD userbar, it would look better if the star didn't have that black background (if you cut it out, the black won't be there. It's like removing the background from a picture. Wait, it's exactly that like! :O) and made it so the star was bigger than the userbar. That's an example.

The "TUR8O" in flashing colours could use some improvement. It might look better if instead of the brown-ish background, you coloured the background black (making it fit the forum background colour, so the background doesn't even appear). Using the text tool instead of a paint brush would look alot better, so that everything is aligned perfectly.

The one for Blade.... it is a bit small to be a signature. If you englarged it a bit, and made a background yourself instead of using a pattern, it could look alot better.

Don't think I'm a meanie and giving you all these negatives, because you do need to know where to improve. Things like this was said to me when I was starting out.

Also, moving body parts like the one on Blade's sig is beyond me. I also don't know how you made the flashing TUR8O either, so nice! This is really good stuff from a beginner, so nice job :).

GO TUR8O!

Well thanks for the feedback tanxs

the flashing turbo was quite simple
all you need to do is get a five color cycle and make all the letters different colors for every layer

Sorry TURB8O, beat you :P.

The one with the colours looks awesome! The circle one hurts my eyes (but then again, my one could hurt YOUR eyes!).

Do you know how to slow down animation (I.E set the frames at a different time)?

I stared at Tur8o's black & white one for a whole min, and towards the end I saw red dots coming out of the middle  :XD:

how do you make those  crazy backgrounds!!!

you experiment.

not only with different colours, but with different brushes (making sure the colours match, nothing more aggravating than a signature or picture that has odd colours in, such as Pink and Lime green (urgh), try using smudging techniques and outsourced images to be able to create and enhance the image, and of course...

(almost tired of saying this)

READ A TUTORIAL


let me emphasize that again:
READ A TUTORIAL


no really, whether it be YouTube tutorials with annoying voice overs(urgh) or a written tutorial on various websites (pm me and i'll link you to a few i know)

they can be extremely useful with helping to give you new ways to create and enjoy the backgrounds.


Most importantly of all though, they will help you to appreciate the difference between a signature with a well constructed background based on the render, with some form of flow to it, and a signature that has a poorly made background (or just a random image planted in a signature's dimensions(often torqued out of shape and alignment) ) with a render that doesn't match.


i dislike being honest, and i'm pretty sure some others also dislike it(well here anyway), but it'll help you learn.

Alex.
