    >.>!

    If you can think of another way to put text without ruining the sig, suggest it.

    The text is perfectly fine silly Irvana. No need for complicated typography on this.

    Only change I would do is adding colors that goes with red and yellow, or getting rid of one and putting in a complimentary color.

    But "how" would you add the colours.
    This sig has almost no blank areas.

    Re: Stroking Reimu.

    Hey, honestly I like it the way it is already.

    Reminds me of a Korean kimono girl and the smudges are good, color choice is good.

    Also, the text isn't that bad at all, at least it doesn't look bad to me.

    Looks really nice, althought I think you should not have used the orange and yellow in the back.

    @Torch.
    Suggest colours.
    I've tried a lot of variations.
    This is the second best, but most colourful option. (that I've found)

    I like the text, It's the placement that I dont like. imo, avoid the corners.

    To give it some depth, you could try blurring or burning. Or use the dodge tool to make the render stand out more.

    Re: Stroking Reimu.

    Dodging and burning works better when the surrounding uses more shadows, so thats not really an option.

    Plain text looks best when it doesn't get in the way. (for me)



    @Styx.
    Will try.

    Edit ; First post edited with preview of what I *think* Styx was trying to tell me to do.

    Edit ;
    @Styx
    Sweet. It flows better and fits my name more(Aka means red), though I might still pick the original colour scheme, cuz its more..."colourful", if you can call it that.

    Well done.

    Re: Stroking Reimu.

    colors blend alot more in your new version that you just updated.

    if you can blend the left to make the brush look connected I think it will look even better.

    I could, but I'm not too sure if I want to try that just yet.

    Not everything has to be grand.
    A simple signature can be more gratifying than a high-end title.

    if you could just work out a way to give it the same flow, but keep the yellow... that'll be just awesome, I like it with yellow

    Add lighting and make the stroke gradient.
    I'd do it, but it would ruin the concept of "brush strokes" that I want.(ed?)
