you might be interested in trying sigs with brushes you download as brush packs. Brushing correctly can really make or brake a sig. and its not just working with stocks or renders which can tend to look flat. it adds that extra spice to the sig....well imo anyway, either way just tossing the idea out to you incase you wanna try it.
these are cool, I like the 'the death eaters' oner the best
Okay you know how you have like basic brushes,natural, special effect already built into photoshop. Well you can more by downloading and extracting the files. go to deviant art and search brushes, you will see a crap load of brushes you can download. they give so many cool effects and can bring a lot of life to sigs.There are countless types of brushes other artists make. There are grunge, abstract, etc, etc. It be cool you should check it out. So many brushes for great sig opportunities.
I looked at his thread and he said he didn't care about every opinion on his sigs, I'm sure many people feel that way. But keep your posts to comments on my sigs.
you sigs are not bad but you need to get away from the Eclipso type sigs try to find your own style. Try brushes and filters I am sure everyone has gotten better by using them.
Actually Eclipso used brushes much more then I do, and as I said I have a very specific look I wanted for the Harry Potter ones. I will try new things though.
Of course Wormtail was a Death Eater, or did you completely miss the fact that he sold out Lily and James to Voldemort, and then helped with Voldemort's rebirth?
Anyway, on sigs...I do a lot of photomanipulations, and that's basically what these sigs are. Blurring the edges doesn't help blend images at all that way, it just makes them stand out more, because they look out of place. Also, I feel they're a bit too monotone. I can give some tips on blending in photomanips so it looks like one image, if you wish.

Oh, and I'd say that since you're making Harry Potter sigs, HP discussion would technically be on-topic
