I don't really use a team. I just mix and match the Pokemon I have trained.

Welcome to Psypoke forums!

Okay, the first sig is very good in terms of background and how you used the sprites. I'm impressed; did you make the backgrounds yourself?

I'm not sure exactly why, but the letters bug me though. I think the sig carried enough gravity on its own without needing text.

So, the first sig gets an 8/10.

The second sig is an interesting idea, but poorly executed. The background is amazing, but I think that you should have used the Sugimori art for Dosaidon (sp) instead of a sprite. Maybe messing about with the colours and opacity of the render (the sprite, in your case) would be a good idea.

The text, yet again, is a major downfall. It's hard to read, and the contrast against the background is bad. Keep the font, by all means, but try using glows and effects to make it stand out more.

I give the second sig 6/10. Not as good as the first one, but with a good idea behind it.

Two questions for you:

1. Which program are you using?

2. What is the name of the font on the second signature? I rather like it.

Thanks for the ratings. Yes, these sigs are completely by me, except for the sprites of course.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with my 2nd sig. It's called a sprite sig for a reason, because it uses a sprite rather than a render. Also, with the text...adding glows and such to sigs like this often make it ugly. When you make text you want to choose a color that will blend well with the sig.

I have quite a bit of experience with this program...(Photoshop CS2)

And I don't know what font it is. It's a simple default one though.


Just expressing my opinion.

Thank you.

I've made many render sigs. The problem with Pokemon is that it is very hard to come across a good non-cartoon render. Pokemon sprites are fun for sigs.

My sig style doesn't match well with flat cartoons so I tend to stay away from those. Find me a good quality and size Pokemon render (3D preferably, and I'll make a good sig :))

Maybe with Pokemon BR, I'll be able to find some good renders.

Ooh, I love them. Wheee I can even identify the ripple on the second ;D

Maybe change the text on the first one, it bugs me because its too plain, and right in the middle.

Yeah, the text wasn't meant to be special or even good :P

This sig was actually for a friend, but I really like it lol
