I've never seen this "style". It's certainly not whored.
And for good reason.

Roflcopter worthy.

Sorry, I don't think he's looking for asshole remarks guys, so if you're just here to be douchebags I think you should just leave. Joker has put some serious time and effort into his work, and I'm sure he wants suggestions/comments/compliments, not insults and "roflcopters."

Joker, I like how you're demonstrating your ability to vary your style, something that a lot of people here, including myself, tend to lack. The main problem with this signature is that the render just looks like it's part of the background. What you can do to correct this is copy the render layer(s) and paste them on top of everything and adjust the opacity/layer blend to your liking. I really love the dark to light effect and the lightning coming through the center. What I would have done, however, is made the lightning coming out of the area between their hands and shooting around in multiple directions, but that way you've done it is very nice.

Great job so far. You're really improving!

I'm sorry, but Urban - I see no difference in style at all between his current and this one.

It's the exact same dimensions, similarities between blending, and the same distorted color palettes he always uses. Beating the same style over and over and over again is not improvement. Experimenting between styles and discovering new ones is. Even if the signature you make with one style is absolutely horrible, criticism from that helps you improve. A perfect example - Look at my first experimenting thread. It's a wreck - just plain horrible. Then from the criticism I obtained from that, I made a second attempt with a style I discovered a few days ago (my current), and I got quite a bit of positive feedback on it.

I tell things like they are. I'm not going to any amount of trouble to spare you the details about what I think of your artworks. I expect other people to do the same. Criticism is there to help people improve. Constantly screaming "IT'S GUD" at people doesnt make them get any better. Now, for some real criticism:

First off, that color palette is horrible. To me, purple and pink don't go very well together. I suggest you google color harmonics and do a bit of reading on art theory. Wikipedia is also a good place to check out art theory - there's tons of it there. I also dont particuarily like your text effects - a part of it appears to be somewhat blended in with the render, and it's hard to read at times. I can also only decioher Naruto from the way you've blended the render. The guy he's fighting doesn't look a thing like Sasuke. Maybe it's the render, or maybe it's the way you blended it. Might want to try posting renders you use in your signatures alongside them in the future - helps with determining how much work has been placed into both. I tell you this time and time again - 1px outer stroke your signatures. PLEASE. There's nothing more annoying than an unstroked signature, there's no excuse not to do it - unless you're making a cutout signature.

Okay? I'm not being mean or anything. I may come across as harsh, but all i'm really trying to do is helping you improve. I'm a pessimist by nature, if that explains things any.

I think that its a bit over brushed. I cant really see the people in there...strangly enough i liked it better before seeing the original ... That said I can tell you really did try and put in a lot of effort in it ..

I can see the thought behind it

[j0k3r210]

so which would you say is the best between the three?
