I think it looks great, make the red a bit bolder.
And remove the yellow line :]

I kinda cut out the Lill and Devil part and rasterized the layer :oops:
so if i make the text bigger now, i'dd have to basicly rewrite the middle of the background and redo the Lill / Devil part aswell :P

Did delete the yellow line though >.<
Though, background aint the exact same either - had to redo that 2 xD

Pretty nice. Don't personally like the corner things though. And in V2-3 you can see 2 thin yellow lines in top and bottom of the sig. I think they are not supposed to be there. (You can't see them in white forum theme I think)

Oh shiz xD you're right :P
Its weird though - if i open it in photoshop and click "select pixels" it doesnt show... in the PSD i can see where the edges come from though ... x__X

Besides that, i thought the corner's kinda gave it something extra, do something different once (started out with just that yellow line going though and out of the edges).

Thnx for the heads up, ill go fix the weird lines >.<

Make it bolder >:o

Think of it as positive and negative space.
"Lill Devil" is the positive space.
Every thing else is negative space, so

MAKE IT BOLDER

Made the text stand out even a bit more now, i cant make it bigger anymore, unless i want to redo the whole sig :) Its okay for me now though - also made the sig itself a bit bigger (since i got enough space left without the corners).

Lol, looks like someone just learned how to use the pentool! Reminds me of those little girly bikes...you know the ones that had streamer thingies on the handlebars. xD

Bad ass, I say keep them. 8)

V3 definitely, The golden hues are very pleasant. Could have done better with the focal text however, 3-d text laying ontop of it all or something, anything just to help it keep the attention of the viewers eyes. It's very uninspirative as it is now. Your border is also making me want to throw my water bottle at your head. -.- Did you lower the opacity or just add it earlier on? Because that BG text creeping through isn't really aesthetically pleasing. Anyways, I can see what you had in mind and it's really a nice idea just needs some fine tuning.

Aww, i used pentool many times before though, just kept it really simple here. though, when you compare it to that bike~ im truely honored !
The border is an overlay btw :P i thought it would look better then a strokeline you cant see through and thnx for the water ~ some refreshment never hurts :)

So what would you suggest? completly lose the border / make a version with the streamline handlebar lines xD and keep te text as it was in the final version ? :) (noy V3, just the last one posted / the one currently in my sig)

eh ? never seen that sig then :) its not as if i ripped his idea or so, im sure enough other people made a sig / wallpaper or whatever in close to this style :)
Glad you find it cool though :P
