Well its Rikku.
Why Rikku for Valentines? Can't really explain. There is a reason though
I had the render for so long before I had in mind what I wanted it to look like.
No additional stocks or C4Ds used. The color choices were hard but it worked out in the end.
For some reason I'm having an adrenaline rush for sigs today...and my calc midterm is tmr..

BG looks nice. But the render just doesn't seem to fit with it. The render pops out a bit too much for me, could use some more blending in. It just doesn't look quite "right." I do like the bg though. Good luck on your midterm tomorrow.

Mooore blending. Moooooore blending. Argh.
Well now that you've mentioned it it does look too popped out. And its probably because of the shadow on the right side of her belly. I'll see how I can get rid of that and blend more in.

I added a bit more motion blur and urased a lot of parts. I didn't want to smudge my beautiful Rikku so she looks twisted in a weird way. I hope this looks a bit more blended in.

I really like this one, Mill. I just think the text spacing is just a little to far apart for " Rikku" because the font is to thin itself but that's just me. It looks wonderful especially the bg. Good job ^^8/10

Aw coming from you its such a wonderful compliment and it makes me happy ^^ I haven't forgot how my jaws literally dropped when I saw that music sig wars sig by you. It was like

but much bigger
Anyhow, the spacing is big I agree. I tried fatter fonts but i didn't look good. I tried putting Rikku without any spacings and it looked cluttered, so I ended up wth this. I actually like how its spaced out because I think it retains a good balance with the sig and the small text underneath. "Rikku" just looked too short and clumsy in there.
