You're not supposed to like sprites.

Looks good, Runtypoo.

thanks snudge.
yours are good too.

Went too far on lighting effects and not enough on others.

The colors you choose were a sort of happy cynical, which is my way of saying cold colors w/o black. Although they match your sprite, the colors near the sprite itself does not make your render stand out.

The light-------->dark contrast that you're going for is there and I can plainly see it, but it's just an "eh". While the brush strokes/smudge or however your did your color is nice, it needs to have a direction, not necessarily flow, but some sort of recognizable organization. Even if it's random and chaotic, unless your just splatting brushes against a white canvas, you want people to look at it and say "AHHH, that's chaotic, cool." Right now yours screams nice colors, vivid, effects, and text & render.

The light source you chose does not carry over to your render for some strange reason, nor your text. You need to work on making a focal THE focal, not "hey, that's nice, that's nice too, and that one" to a more "WOW!!! and the background effects are good too!"

Your render looks a bit over sharpened, which would not be a problem against a smudged background, but you seemed to have sharpened around the edge of the render onto the background.

I mentioned text there but I'll say it again, after viewers are done with the big picture and first impressions they want to see things like text and render clearly.

Random yellow bar to the top-left of your render, dunno why that's there.

Definitely sig worthy.

Dugus back? wherefore art though dugu? stay with us!

I've been trying to cap my level 69 Chinese bladder, and college is back in session soon so I'll have to move back on campus, all in all not much time for SRF and AC, but I still post now and then.

Nice to see you're a moderator now Rizla, you deserve it.

The use of "." helps. And try not to put random capital letters in the middle of what ur saying.

Sprite [In 'signature land' that is] means a small bitmap image, often taken from moving GIF's which fits completely within the borders of the sig.
Well, that's my interpretation.

Ok now i have a clearer Understandign, because i thought i was losing grip on AC lingo
