Hi, and welcome to DarkSide's Signature (and avatar) Gallery. Please note, This is NOT a shop (I'm not skilled enough to have a shop). This is just a place where I pose signatures and avatar's I have made. I would love to hear your thought's on my sig's (and avatars) =).

Hope you don't mind a little CnC!
Avoid filling your background with the brush tool, it tends to look sloppy. The warp filter has a similar tendency. Try for cohesion and be careful with your colors. Overly bright/high contrast colors are very hard to pull off correctly.
Look for other methods to make backgrounds, and try blending the render with the background a bit. Tutorials would be a good start. While most of them are for photoshop, a lot of the concepts and techniques still apply to gimp, except you can't follow the instructions exactly and will have to look/experiment a bit to get the same effect.

Not too bad for a few days! Good luck.

Duly noted. Thank's so much Rainbow. (And tbh I don't even know what "C4Ds" are so I'll have to Google that XD) And I will most defiantly will download more brush's (I been using the basic bush's to make all these)

It's not recommended to use brushes for signature making unless you're using the brushes that come with the program or you're using splatter brushes for a clipping mask. Just a tip.

It's not a trademark thing, it's more of like... make use of your resources. This is why people who are experts in GFX tell you to find resources and read tutorials because they help you make use of said resources.

practicing = good
brushes are generally avoided - soft default brushes are used for effect, and then you might use some splatters for clipping masks. That's pretty much all you need since brush settings are plenty for scatter brushing and smudging purposes.
Filters are alright if you know how to use them but mainly C4D's are huge huge huge. C4D's and smudging are good ways to get into more advanced stuff.

Hmm, "one does not simply put text" is the best way I can put it. It just looks good in certain points (never put it in a corner, BTW. It stands out too much). If I can't find a place, I'd use the rule of thirds sometimes. I usually just pick a color that's on the signature itself, find a sans serif font, place it somewhere where I like it and boom, text is done. Stroke it if need be.

Also . . . deviantART is your best friend for typography tips. (http://piri-chama.deviantart.com/art/Signature-text-tutorial-116731423)

Wow it does look better than a lot of past signatures.

I never lower the opacity of the render because it feels as though you're not making the render the focal. The colors are also a little weird, but that's just me and liking color theory (something that's primarily used in drawing and painting). As for the text, it's a lot better, but it doesn't have to be multiple lines. It can be just one meaningful word.

Try experimenting with colorizations (put them on some kind of subtle layer mode if you do) and stocks if possible. As always, deviantART is your best friend for resources. ;3

Also, something I noticed is that the signatures are really wide. Try making it at a resolution of around 400 x 200 so that there's less empty space.

I actually didn't lower the opacity. But I did put another layer over the render (and it changed the color). The reason I did't have a color theory is because I was experimenting. Oh and trust me, I know a lot about drawing XD, I will be posting some of my drawing's soon. (on a different thread of course).

Wow, that is great! The background gives some great depth and the text goes with the flow of the sig. Well done and keep up the good work xD

Thank you so much :).

My first black and white signature, and also my first "city view" signature. What do you guy's think about it? (the text is weird again I know).

Why do I make so many pink signature's? Pink is nowhere near my favorite color xD. Whatever, all that aside, What do you guy's think? I joined DeviantArt yesterday so now I can use some amazing C4D's and fractals :3, which is what I used for this signature (credits already given on DeviantArt).

(Sorry for the double post)

Both sigs are great, although if I had to choose one I'd choose the latest one. The background looks interesting and the bright colours are just great.

May I ask what fractals you're using?

This one (http://www.deviantart.com/art/Fractal-Pack-1-95082346)

Thanks. And I agree with you, the Peach signature is (much) better then the (crappy) Miku sig xD.

I really liked my Princess Peach signature...but I wasn't fully satisfied with it. So I made a minor change, and it look's allot better now imo.

...Wow. That is incredible. The colour is blended perfectly, the render looks great and the effects in the background compliment the whole piece very well. The only thing I will say is the text is a little difficult to read.

This is still GIMP, right? This is WAY better than how I did with GIMP. :P

You're getting a LOT better at signature making, I can tell. Not that I think that this is a massive jump, it's just that I hadn't seen your previous works until now (they look good, btw). Text is a little wonky and some of the pixels are a bit prominent from the rest of the tag. Also, just some things you probably don't need to learn, but it looks really good with the skills you already have:

- Depth
- lighting effects

And you've just reminded me to get practicing again. :P

Thanks "Legit Swag" xD. Text has always been a problem. I'll work on it.

Yep, I'm still using GIMP. Thank you so much, I really appreciate. I'll look for some depth and lighting tuts on DA. I've read a few on lighting a while ago, but it didn't seam to "stick" xD.

This one's background is a tiny bit bland. Maybe add a few snazzy (God I love that word xD) filters and throw in some C4Ds/Fractals. Don't overdo it, though. C4D spam is not attractive. Also, you know exactly what else I'm gonna say needs improving, right? ;)

I wasn't sure were I should add the C4D's...Maybe in the middle, or something. I had very little time to think about it. I could have always finished it the next day, but I was afraid I would keep procrastinating afterwords.

Moe make everything better xD. Overall I'm rather happy with this. I like the colors, and how they blend. And for once I actually happy with the text xD. It still is a little hard to read though, but its nothing compared to the text in previous sig's (imo).

This one looks great. The colours blend very well and the text honestly doesn't look all that bad. Still could do with some improvement, but typography never goes perfectly for anyone. Also, the foreground looks very interesting.

You're starting to look like the signature makers that I often see in the deviantwatches for groups! Well, you were starting to look like it from the Shana signature, but I forgot to mention it. :P

First, the lighting! Lovely how you're starting to implement it, but watch the intensity of the light source and WHERE it's coming from. The former just takes some adjustments, the latter starts to get into the shadowing aspect of drawing.

All you really need to look at is that bubble with "light source". This was a semi-old reference guide to lighting for X and Patriot. Although you don't have to look at it, it's probably best to look for some drawing videos instead.

Eh, text. It's OK, but no one is really good at typography within their first few tries.

I'm starting to notice a trend in the placement of your renders: centering them. It's not really a good thing unless you can't help it with the rule of thirds.

Have I told you to look at the rule of thirds yet? I have a bad memory.

This doesn't look that bad. The red and white on the right looks pretty cool, imo. It would have been better if you added some more effects around the render.
