Okay. I'm a little nervous because this is a truly going to decide if I fail or not. Give me as much good criticism that will lead in a better direction.

I saw three things.

1. A star BG.
2. Black Ace from TREZ gallery.
3. A black ace blur at the back.
^ These are very easy.

Anyway, pretty nice, but try it harder later.

Like I said, I'm an absolute newb when it comes to making graphics. For the black hole, just picture a blurred circle behind Black Ace that starts just a hair above the text.

Ok, you might want to fix a few things to add an appeal to the image.

1) Increase the opacity of the image (Don't darken the image, it's only going to make your image look bad.
2) At least smudge out the blue outline because smudging is fun.
3) Put at least some effort into making the image

I like to keep a small and simple signature.

I didn't really darken the image. I only darkened Black Ace to give a shadow effect of the blue light coming from behind him. I guess it was a little much.

Guys, you've got to understand that he's a complete beginner. I myself told him to start simple. This is the way I started. Actually, I think I started even simpler than this. Him showing us this now while he's still beginning will help him get better much quicker. This is even a better way of starting off than the way I took.

This actually isn't too bad. Not bad for a beginner. Well, you're 6-7 years older than me (15 going on 16) so you probably have more experience with the computer than I did when I first started making graphics. For you, now is a great time to start, keep it up. Try to get rid of the red outline next time.

The only thing I have experience in the computer is networking. Anyway, the red outline was left in there on purpose because the blue light is shining on the back of Black Ace. That means that the particles coming out of Black Ace's wings will show up in the light that's shining.

I didn't mean with graphics, just being on the computer in general. And that's good thinking. Part of the work in making graphics is knowing how to work with the render, much like how a photographer works with the model. You take the features of the render and try to make it work with the rest of the image. You're learning quickly.

Made a signature in my free time. I think some motivation and energy is coming back to me. *Updates first post*

If I could draw/paint better, I would make custom characters. Since I can't, I make due with my imagination and what game is my favorite at the time. I know it looks basic, but that's pretty much all I can do now with my schedule.

Like what? I'm bad at trying to figure out what effects go great with certain colors and images.

Most of your signatures have simple backgrounds. I prefered your FIRST sig (The Mario sig is ossim out of the others that you have.)
