He looks stretched in an aweful way right now. But that could be my new 22" widescreen (No idea how to configure it on linux

) Switched to linux with my new 'PC' (running in a paperboard box right now

) the casing didn't arrive yet and everything else did, couldn't wait so I put it all in a paperboard box and I'm running it from within there right now!

Will rate after I fix my monitor settings

i love what you did with the color "overgangen" <- snuts, translate please <.<
but, tbh, i like the warm red of the cmyk version better than the red on the
normal one, idk. if you compare em to the warm colors of the cmyk, the normal
sig looks a bit dull. but that might just be because you put the two above
eachother so i can compare the colors so easily :]
i like your text, i like the borders. there is just one thing thats missing
imo. thats something, an effect or part stock or color whatevers, behind the
head. its hard to explain, but the head looks like its floating?
7,5/10 as it is now :]
and how come you put one on cmyk? you're going to print it? *_*
i found out the use of cmyk a little too late, was printing my business cards
and my bright orange had turned into dull orange when it came out of the
printer -.-

oh BS.... i swear i just typed out the comment.... whered it go?
regular > cmyk
the cmyk is way to over contrasted
but the regular is really good
and i also actually really like the text

one of my fav texts imo
i agree with cin about how something looks missing, but i really like and think its like a 9/10 or a 9.5/10

I accidentally put it on CMYK somehow ^^'
Anyway, I agree with you on the colours, Cin. Im going to try to fix em somehow. The RGB colours look VERY dull to me as well.
Oh, and overgang(en) = Transition(s) <3

ah. yes, transitions.
and as i said, i DO love the transitions, its just that they look dull compared to
the cmyk. im sure that i wouldnt even have mentioned it if that version wasnt right
above it ;]

like you did with the color clouds :]

I think I like V2 because the colors are a bit more toned down. The text is awesome, it looks like one of those texts on the Artist's official music albums

I would have preferred the "S" not being erased too much.
I think its a fantastic sig, I just think its missing something like WHAM that hits you. If I were you I'd try one of those swirly light lines around the microphone and make the mic & his mouth the focus.

Nice text lol. j00 pwn me?!?! mayne i pwn j00 more.

The head could use some light adjustment. Perhaps elaborate on the shadows a little and where the light is coming from. Kickass sig. I always wanted to learn how to smudge like the banner from Tech-GFX.

Version 4 added, final version.
Things changed:
Toned down colours a tad.
Fixed oversharpened text, also made it less white.
Made colours on head more vibrant.
Tried to adjust the shadows on his head a tad. Figured out that it's no use and left it like this.
Added sexy swirly thingy lines(Thanks for the tip, Milly <3)
Some overall dodge-/burn-tooling
Figured that if I would want to change the overall lightingto fix the lighting on the head, I'd have to completely redo the sig from scratch, which is a tad too much work for me seen how much I like it now :3.
Thanks everyone for commenting!

This is my critique, I tried to pin point certain areas liked/need improvement, so if you want to take it then feel free:
Blue Circled: Smudging is nice. I think the colors work well. Especially the one in the upper right is the one I like the most. The left and the lower right is nice as well. I think it stops a little short, but still looks nice.
Yellow Circle: I think it's slightly out of place. It looks a little awkward jetting out, and then having that black patch underneath empty. I would have filled out that space more and not made it so harsh. Maybe gone over it with a soft brush eraser at a light opacity to lighten it up it tad.
White Circle: To me, it looks very out of place. If you were to keep it, blur it out and smudge it into the bg more so it doesn't stick out so much.
Green Circle: I like the positioning of the text, although I think it's a little "blurry." It doesn't seem very clear, it just has a fuzzy appearance to it. I would go under windows > character and messed around with the height and length in there. Also, mess around with crisp, strong, etc.. see which one gives it a more crisp, clearer look.
The added mic effect looks nice, Although I think the soft brush dots around it is a little overdone. I also think his face is a little bright, could use some more burning. Overall, it's still a nice tag, could use some touch ups here and there though to really complete it.

Lol, now I see where it's from.
Anyway I was too afraid of Farking up the head in the proces of fixing that, that I just left it there. It kinda looks like bunnyears though. I think it's cute. :3
