    Ehh, I hate sigs of players who are no longer on that team unless it's a tribute of some sort and in that case it should be clearly marked that way with something. As for the sig itself, forgive me for putting this harshly, but it looks like a couple basic grunge brushes, maybe 1-2 filters on top, some bad text, a border and done. Maybe 5-10 minutes of actual work involved A buddy of mine once said the only way to become a respected graphic artist is to trash your brushes folder and learn to make good graphics without them. They're pretty much a crutch that newbies rely on way too much.Anyways, I'm done with my mini-rant.

I got stocks, put effects on them, blurred them changed their opacity and everything. Maybe im just not creative, but I didnt use ANY brushes on this, exept for behind al. [​IMG]

    Eh I'm going to disagree with some of you guys here. I think the more sigs you make, the better the chances are that you will get better. I think that the more you use Photoshop, the more that you will understand it. I just think that he needs to try something else instead of that same style. It seems like you're just changing the player and the colors of every thing.And your text still fails.Venom, that's a good site. All this constructive criticism is just making me want to go back to doing graphic designing again......
