Kay.
So.
Second attempt at trying to get back into Photoshop. Busy summer kept me from actually sitting down and attempting to make a good signature.
So I found free time last night and decided to try.

This was my attempt:

nice work, really like the background and colors. And I don't know if it's my screen but Typhlosion (the render, not text) doesn't stand out very well. Seems too blended imo.

The text however is very good in terms of placement, color, and effects.

Keep it up, hope to see more soon.

Nice : D glad to see your graphics again <:

I agree with linux that the render doesn't seem to be as prominent as it should.

Oooooh, pretty. I like it. But agree, about making the little guy more "look-at-me".
Also, the green on his back would look really pretty if you made it a little more green-y. I don't mean lime green or normal green. But you know, Just kinda bring the colour out.

The text color is suit the background color.

If you're using the blend technique then I don't spot anything.

Overall, it's always great.

What version of Photoshop ya use?

I use nice and basic Photoshop CS2.
Never liked the newer ones.

Thanks for the comments everyone!
Really helps me to see what to work on, I do agree with him being too blended. So thanks!

It's great to see you making sigs again!

The initial target for criticism would be the text but, as Linux has said, it works.
To me, it feels as if the render is hiding behind the lightsource.. try bringing it above the lightsource layer, or just, using a 65px soft round brush, erase over the render so the lightsource is still hitting it but not glaring over..

Nice pro advice. :P
