Posted a Chaos Theory Sig last night, and was criticized (rightly so) for my blending and color coordination techniques. Kept that in mind when I created this sig. Please tell me what you think.

i like the colors much better this time, my only suggestion is to make the sig dimentions much smaller, but keep the render the same size, so the render is more prominent, but nice job wiht colors and bg brushing, font needs some work tho, find a grungy looking font for this one. good job

Thanks jat. All of my sigs so far have been the same 450x150 dimension, maybe I'll change it, but I'm not sure. As far as the font, it's the Lord of the Rings font (Ringbearer), so that's why I used it, I kind of like it. But I like the feedback, good or bad, that's how I learn what I'm doing right or wrong. Thanks again.

Just a tip:
The font name doesn't matter <_<
If the font doesn't fit the style then the font's not for the image

the ringbearer font would work if the sig itself was less grunge, since ur bg was very grungy i was just saying that a grungy font could look nice, but now looking again at the ringbearer it doesnt look that bad, maybe i guess the precious text takes away from it a bit

A little bit of multi-colouring would be nice + mabye make the background less linear.

Other than that, its pretty nice :)

Thanks for all the feedback guys. It is all taken into account and considered when I start a new sig, so you all are helping me to become better at this. Much obliged!

personally I like the size 400x100 or 350x100.

I like that sig the only thing I would say is to put some depth in the background and change the font/text effects and you should be good!
