    I think the avatar is cool, but the sig needs some work. It's not bad at all, but I know you have done better.

    But what do you think needs to be changed? I saved the file in psd format so I can edit the layers....

    The Background? Fonts? Colors? More pictures?

    Definately more pictures.

    You can see too much of the BG.

    Ok. What if I put the Braves "A" underneath the Braves text layer, and the Cowboys star underneath the Cowboys text layer? Would that look better?

    The cutouts are really bad. You can see the grass that it was cutout from. Work on your cutouts and make some effects so it doesn't look so plain.

    It would be better if it wasn't the Braves and Cowboys. Those facts ignored, it looks pretty good.

    I personally dont like the "yogurt pink and purple colored swirls" you used as the Background layer, but maybe thats just me, i like more of the dark,evil style of art. Also, what is that in the Brave's hand? is that the grass the person above was speaking of?

    its actually blue and red, but whatever...

    In one hand, he has his hat. I don't see anything like grass in the other. That might actually be the "fraxframe" (swirl) effects.

    OK, I went back to the file and checked, there was a little grass left on his hand. I must have forgot that part.

    Yeah, that's what I was talking about as well. There was a big patch of grass by his hand, but he eareases. I'm not to hot on the color either, but it looks good...

    I'm trying to get the "pinkish" effect out of it, but it doesn't want to. I think it looks fine until I get my hands on some better plugins....

    Yeah, I'm the only guy on my new site that actually knows how to do it...

    I actually recently learned how to do it (props to littlegy9) within the last month or two. To make a simple one it takes little experience, but learning how to use all of the effects can be laborious.

    This is my last editing job on my latest sig. I finally got my hands on EyeCandy 4000 and I put in some pretty cool effects.
