Attempt at a Signature for my Alt

[Dreyco]

<p>I made a signature file for the character Dreyco's son <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Taking a black and white image, I colored it in photoshop, then used PS again to piece together the signature itself...</p><p>It's one of my first attempts... but i'd like some constructive feedback.</p><p>Thanks!</p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/Dreyco/JehiroSignature.jpg" border="0"></p>

<p>Not bad!  I do have a few suggestions, though, since you asked...  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>- If you're planning on using this image on these forums, remember that you're only allowed 500x150 for your entire sig -- text <i>and</i> images.  This image is currently 500x206.</p><p>- I think that different fonts and font colors will better reflect the fact that he's an Iksar and/or a Warden.  Plain white Times and Courier are very generic, and using a font with more personality and in a more suitable color will help add interest.  (I recommend browsing <a href="http://dafont.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">dafont.com</a>!)</p><p>- I'd like to encourage you to explore your available canvas space.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  There's a lot of room to be had on a 500x150 sig (or if you don't resize this one, on a 500x206 sig, hehe), and you can do all kinds of interesting things with it, both in the foreground and in the background.</p><p>- A border will help define the boundaries of your sig and tie everything together.</p><p>- I think the original artwork adds a nice touch, but more could be done to bring the image further into the foreground, such as adding a drop-shadow or a glow effect.</p><p>I think you have a good start here, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with in the future.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

I've always had a severe lack of fonts.  Thanks for the link and the tips! I'll see what more I can do with this thing.
