    Um. It's better when they know how to blend effectively. Other than that, as long as they participate in things, we enjoy having people.

    I'm telling you constructive criticism, if you don't know what that is. I'm not yelling at you because I hate you, I'm telling you how you could improve.

    Your text is a default it looks like, those aren't the best to use. Smudging wise, it's better to get smudge settings or if you're in gimp, simply use the vine tool. Don't search on youtube on how to get better, as they all suck sincerely. I recommend planetrenders for tutorials, as most of them know what they're doing.

    C4d's are great effects, as long as they flow right with the focal. Flow is simply as it sounds. You can't have crazed effects, as they don't always turn out great.

    Brushes. Brushes are easy and effective to use if you know what you're doing. I personally use splatter brushes with clipping masks a lot, but, sometimes that doesn't turn out too well. I recommend not using grunge brushes or effect brushes, as you're not to the level when those are actually necessary to use.

    Scan lines. Never use scan lines unless it's a tiny bit, and you know what will make them flow well together! I recommend using topaz clean's trial to make the best look of them come out, but if you don't want to do that, use them normally and effectively. Just don't cover the sig in scan lines is the point I'm trying to get to.

    Conclusion. In conclusion, you'll get the jist if you take all of the constructive criticisms' for granted and pay attention. Only a few people who do gfx here know what we're doing, and try to stay positive on all levels. If you want to get some good positive vibes, talk to me, T R 1 B A L (gfx mod), Sin666 (administrator), and TDD (he hates me, but I don't care). It takes time to get good. It took me 3 months on how to lower the layer opacity, and use the blending options correctly :D. So, the point is, pay attention, and making a sig isn't a race.

    I love all those signature's, I really can't think of anything that I can say about them to improve, but I bet the other member's will point you in the right direction.
