1. I love the FEEL of this one, it looks like the character is walking through a cave of ice thorns. I don't really did that you used two different colors to outer glow the text in this one though, and the entire thing feels kind of grainy.
2. black background, fractal, filter, text... oh and look, there's what might be text in the upper right corner. An actual RENDER would've been nice for this one. If you're going to make a fractal a visual centerpiece, I would make it as clean as possible.
3. I LOVE this one. Those squares on the left give me happy fits. But hey, haven't I seen that font somewhere before?
4. This render needs to look LESS like it was slapped on the background. And hey... I'm SURE I recognize that font. Just wait, it'll come to me... (This font is also INCREDIBLY hard to read on this one)
5. It looks like the person you did this one for wanted something very specific. Word of advice, USE YOUR ARTISTIC LICENCE! It's fairly safe to ignore most of an overly specific request and still come away from it with a sig they'll just GUSH over. I THINK you may have inserted a personal touch in the upper left corner, but I can't... quite... make it out.
6. This is one of my FAVORITES of yours. The glowy stuff around the dragon is amazing. The font choice is familar... but works wonderfully for this sig. Just make sure when you're using a bold font that it's big enough to read.
7. This is a lot more grainy than I would've gone for this image. I think I see those fun squares from the God of Wa sig here, but I can't really make them out through the grain. Also, this font doesn't suit the render's medium. Points for using a different font though!
8. I. LOVE. THIS. SIG. ... Font aside. Even the normal mode Bleeding Cowboys would've worked beautifully here, but it's like... dissolving. This gives the font a grungy quality that's not present in the rest of the sig. You did a wonderful job putting that old dragon render into a techy background. Bravo.
9. What...is...it? There is such a thing as overdoing it. Make sure your render is still the focla point of your sigs by the time you're done with them.
10. Love this background, but like the last it's detracting from the render, and the cowboys are back! There's too much contrast going on in this one. Pretty lights are nice, but not when they give the viewer eyestrain trying to make out anything that's not shiny.
11. Lightning's hard to work with. Keep up the practice using it. I've yet to turn out anything myself using it that I like. One thing I've picked up is trying to make it look like it's lighting up the render. Also, on the font (besides cowboys)... Contrast between BRIGHT and DARK is ok when lightning's involved. I would try making the center of the text white with color around the edges to give it an electric look.
12. It's a fun concept. I'd center the render and try it again a few times as a practice sig to explore this foggy tecnique.
13. This one was better with the old font, though both are hard to read and don't really FIT the sig. I'd keep playing around with font choice, color, and blending mode on this one.
14. This one's fun, I'd just try to make the text a little more readable. A precise, dark outer glow to make it stand out maybe.
15. Love the blending, love all those cars crammed into a small sig. You might try lowering the opacity on that font if you use it again. It's pretty, but takes up a lot of space. Being able to see through it would help a lot.
16. Artistic licence. Love it, use it. I know you DID use it based off the request, but if you're going to do it, go all the way. ^_^
17. Hmm, yellow/red font, orange/red fractal, pink/red font. Pick a red scheme and stick to it-- and use the same font in a single sig.
18. Ah, it's not confused about it's identity! This is a pure grunge sig, and nicely done. If you're going to do grunge fonts, do grunge sigs. Well done, excellent use of grunge without render distortion.
