It's supposed to be a text tag, most attention should be given to the text but in this tag here, the effects get the attention not the text so it lacks depth, you just added effects blurred them and added a text and lowered its opacity, so yeah I agree, it is crappy, can't expect an epic result from the first try

good try anyway

i wont argue with all of that, becuz most of it is true. But it was not easy to make. The final thing had 17 layers, and took a while.
so please understand, i put a lot of effort into it.

:eek: what 17 layer it looks like you added 5
i copied the main background 10 times to add effects and blurs to each one (each in accending opacity)
then the splatter, lighting, text, and background took up another 7.

what i m trying to say is that i spent time on it, and didn't rush it or anything.

Well you can see your main problem in the tag by your last response. 95% of the layers and work had absolutely nothing to do with the text. being a text sig you want that 95% or more work going into effects directly affecting the text itself and making the text look good.

I know you've probably seen it, but like this :
You must be registered for see images


all of the effects were to accent the text. it took me all of 5 minutes to refect and merge the wood background for the canvas. the other..4 hours lolz were text

my latest sig took me about um 40 layers?
You are just too lazy to put some hard work in this signature :/
as I see you didnt work that hard to make it so dont try to ignore me or insult me because as khaled said this signature is lame.
Btw have u ever heard that theres good tuts and they would help you improve ?

No offense, but the amount of layers you have total doesn't really mean anything. some people do a lot more on one layer than others. just because a sig is 40 layers or more doesn't mean it necessarily good or better than sigs that have less.

2nd, he hasn't said anything insulting this thead. he and khaled are actually haveing a constructive conversation. coming in here with your drama baiting comments is unneccessary. (Naruto goku please ignore his comment so this thread doesn't erupt into maddness)

Looking for tuts is a good idea.
