Think the moon needs to be a bit higher up (looks like it's overlapping a mountain atm instead of being in the backgroung) and maybe have some shading stuffs going on. I'm having a little trouble reading the red stroked white type.

I tend to feel a badass quote like that needs some beat up distorted type and a dark feel to the rest of the sig, but that's more of a style thing; the rest of the piece looks more elegant and contemplative and then you break out the "roar, I'm a bad motherfucker" quote.

The colors are quite diggable and I really like the toon manip; his hair brings out a more active look and gives his stare more intensity/

You're right on the quote. I just used the same quote as he had in the last sig...I should rethink it.

What do we think about the cape?? I'm pretty excited about that part but wasn't sure it worked :)

Cape is good :). Again, adds some nice movement to the sig, like the hair.

The cloak looks awesome, really great job on that. So does his hair and overall armor. Classic great piece, gilly =) :thumbsup

Awesome manip Gilly, that NE comes off very vibrant and the colors carry throughout the sig. The only part of the text I really have issue with (and could just be me cuz lately I think I'm going blind from staring at puter all day) is the line of text for the server/guild. Maybe just a solid dark stroke of that green seperating the glow a bit would make it easier on these old eyes. :)

Can I ask how ya did the moon? Was it part of the original background? Reason I ask is, there's been a few times I've done moonlit shots, I would try to do my typical overlay the background over itself to bring out some color, but you lose the shading of the moon's surface that way. If that's what you did, try using your lasso tool set to elliptical, hold shift so you get a true circle, and select your moon. Now on that second layer you've set over the other, (if that's how you did it anyway) delete the moon. You can also feather a few pixels out of the selection before erasing it so it's not such an abrubt cutout. But that will eliminate that stark white circle look for your moon. Now if you put the moon on there yourself, and that's just the way it was, you might want to consider finding a moon brush and lay it over what you have now to give it some texture.

Oh and your cape! Love it!

Yeah that's the moon as it appeared in the original screenshot. It doesn't look so stark in the desktop because of placement etc. My husband looked at it last night and suggested I make it a crescent moon which I think is a pretty good plan so I think I may try that when I get a free moment. Though now that I think about it, getting a moon brush isn't a bad plan either!

Thanks for the c/c and the compliments guys :) Helpful as always!
