First real sig

[Deranged Hydralisk]

This is my first real sig on Photoshop. I still need to size it down a little and add a border maybe, but what do you think so far?

I like the pictures and how you've modified em...especially the guy jumping with his hands in the air...

Now for the criticism:

a) You need to optimize the pictures...some are too desaturated

b) I would suggest you increase the contrast on all the pictures a bit...I never noticed that hand at the bottom until I looked really closely and thats a bad sign...

c) You need to merge your pictures with some sort of fade if you're going with that style... use layer masks...If you don't know what those are, then here ya go: Everything you'd want to know about layer masks

d) Optional: Maybe add some color...makes the contrast step really simple and much more effective if you...say...make the background on the pics black and the focus white...just a suggestion...this is optional.

e) Compile your pictures properly: Make sure one of the focuses on your picture isn't being blocked because another focus is bang on top of it...

Those are some nice pictures you're using... so make good use of em!

yeah actually what the Iconoclast said is pretty much waht needs chaning. the pics look to faded, although i like the idea. masking would help well in this situation so use it wisely!

Too bad I accidently deleted the original .jpg file and only have a .bmp copy (made into a JPEG), which means all my layers are lost. But I'll keep your advice in mind for future sigs. I'm already working on a LOTR one.
