Good one, pay attention to the depth more in order to maintain focus

However I need to say that your text is not so good since it got a low readability on the "RUECIANUS" part, some ppl might read it as "AUECANLIS" (yes the "I" in the middle of the text is a little bit weird)

And I'm strongly recommend you not to use glow on these type of text as glow needs a strong lighting coming from the object itself, only use glow when your text is plain and bright colored

the glow....wkwkwk got nothing to separate the dark part of the text from the dark part of the BG

Notice that you can also rotate/resize the image (which has been unlinked to the text shaped mask layer) to fit your needs :smile:

To make the process of making sigs easier, do the sketch first, it might help.

As there might be several alternatives of result

However if the main sig idea is the same as what's written on the main page, feel free to follow the tutorial.

It's fine, everyone's welcome to reply here anytime they want, just stay on topic, that's the key :biggrin:

You got a lot of empty space on the right side. Ah well, that's just about the composition though.

Now why don't you try the text part?

[Transcend]

Merinez, I'm having a photoshop fetish. LMAO. The link seems to be broken, yeah it directs me to the web page but I can't DL it. I know this will cost an effort and time in your part, but, uhm, will you re-upload again? I just want to learn more. <3

[_Mirage_]

I would love to try but the link of the download is not working properly.... keeps saying no servers available... but the final effect is really nice!
