A sig request.

So here I am, with 75 posts and all, requesting my first sig. I've looked around for stocks I like and I've picked 3 different music stocks you can choose from. I prefer the Foo Fighters stock, followed by the Dropkick Murphys stock and I like the The Sounds stock the least. But if you like one a lot more than the other one, feel free to use it.
As for the size I'm not too picky. Somewhere around 375x125 will do. Keep it to those proportions. The text I want in my sig would be Waisha/waisha and optionally the name of the band.
Now to what style I want in the sig... I don't want anything very colorful although not a B/W sig. Maybe if you can try to keep the feeling of the picture or something. I also prefer simpleness before a cluttery sig. I also prefer darker colors to lighter colors.
On a side note: I am honest so if I don't like the sig I will say it straight out and give comments on what I want changed etc. Sorry for being picky, but that's just me. And if there is something missing or you need to ask me something about the request, please do so.
This stock is of the band Foo Fighters' lead singer:

This stock is of the band Dropkick Murphys' bass player:

This stock is of the band The Sounds' lead singer:

Thanks!

Thanks guys and girl for taking your time making me a sig.
And Millenium, this is the sig it reminded me of:

One of the epic sigs of SRF's history.
Edit:
Take your time. If you need some days doing it, no problem. If you need weeks, no problem.

Don't make this stop you form doing more important things.

How does this work?
Since you picked an awesome theme I'll be entering this into the sig wars if you don't mind. I'd like to fix a couple of spots according to your requests before I hand it over to you though. After I fix up what you don't like I'll also ask the artists to cnc in AC.

I wouldn't mind matching a matching avator if you tell me which spots you want me to make it out of.

But I love it. That's the best sig I've seen from you actually.

I'm not an anime fan and I've already got 4 people working on sigs for me wich is more than enough.
Thanks Holla for joining cin in you collab sig.
@Milly;
I'll start of saying I like v2 more than v1. The placement on Waisha is much better and the boxes looks great.
I really like your sig. I'm a sucker for sigs with few colors and I always like black in sigs. Just like you I loved the stock and I think you made an awesome job out of it. What I like most about the sig is the light sources to the left of the render.
The right side of the sig I also like alot. The c4d you used looks great and it fits with the style of the sig. I also think that part of the sig goes very well with the sig.
You didn't do very much to the left part but that awesome since it gives some kind of contrast to the light sources. And adding more c4d's would just make the sig look stuffed.

I also love those things below the light sources, don't know what they are called but they look good there.
For the parts I don't like. Not very big issues really. For the first sig I was going to say the text, but then you made that second sig and it looks sweet. Although that font may be a little plain but then I have no idea how it would look with a more fancy font. It's really hard to give criticism to someone a lot better in the matter.
One other thing I'm not sure of is if it would look better with some smudging on the sides of the render. I like the sharpness on his upper part. Again I'm just throwing something out. I don't know if it would look better or not.
Thanks a lot!
Sorry for writing an essayEdit:
And I always chuckle at how competetive you are.

I'm glad you like it. I'll be back from work in 5 hours and I'll see how smudging on the right side goes as you said. Fancy font, Lets see how that works out too.
And there was no C4Ds hun. It was all smudging and gradients for enchanched lightening effects. The bottom right corner is the drumset from the original stock.
I'm a competitive girl =\ and it doesn't do me good sometimes ppl tell me to chillax more >.>

Yeah, the text was a bit too plain.
And you don't need to try the smudging of you don't want to do it, Milly. I'm
really happy with everything in the sig as it is now. So just do it if
you want to.

Well after hearing what HOLLA said, the sig does look empty on some spots. I just want to perfect it for the sig wars. I'll update you with the new version soon and use whichever ones you like or I'll always made adjustments to your likings ^^
*still wait for cin and the rest*
