That not so bad. I mean it looks cool, but I dont know what you are trying to say with it. I am sure it would be better if it wasn't so compressed because I can't read the small text..

I think that it is.
I couldn't even really do digital art when I was 13...:)

no offense but those colors look bad together. It may look sharper but stay away from those colors.

My sig won't change!!!

Age doesn't matter unless you count the years where you can't control you haven't mastered bowel movements.

The only thing I like about the picture is that it's green, but other than that, it looks like a generic text sign that has been filter raped with blur slapping it upside the head.

The center of the burst is a little too intense.

Let's say you had no knowledge of filters whatsoever. Would it make any difference at all?

Yes, you and a bunch of other people that would say the same thing, but in a different way.

Get over it.

idiot

As for criticism:

I still stand by the thought that it really is just a generic text sign with the only creation being the light filter on the letter and the big ball of green on the left. If you want to improve it, may I suggest that you somehow integrate the ball of light with the actual text itself? Try not to use the filter on EVERYTHING. If you must use the filter, then use it sparingly.

Unlike what many people say, filters aren't ALWAYS bad. They CAN be your friend. Just as long as it isn't blatantly being used to do all the work.

Also, don't use age as an excuse. It seriously isn't a factor. Unless you count infancy, but they're at a disadvantage because they can't even control bowel movements, let alone intricate motor skills.

You can either take that advice, or not.

It looks okay... Nothing special... But I don't think it's really a right think to do to use your age as an
excuse.

1) red and green should never be seen
2) the OP had the best one out of yours and it, it had WAY more flair
