If someone wants a random sig that says "THIS IS A SIG" I just made one. Just reply if you want it or not.
Okay, I guess I have to spell it out for you. One of the reasons users come to this thread is to ASK for a sig. A-S-K. This is called a REQUEST. R-E-Q-U-E-S-T. The other reason is what users like me and you hang around here for, to FILL those REQUESTS.
I mean no disrespect here, but damn. You don't ask people to take your sig, you make the sig that people ask for. Is that really such a hard concept for you to grasp?
Look, let me try to explain it like this. Imagine filling a request as a challenge. Once you "complete" that challenge by making a sig, you get to reply and attach the sig you made. Whether you pass the challenge is up to the user making the request. Let's say what the user thinks of your sig is your score for the challenge. If he or she says "That's fucking lame" or somemthing like that, or just ignores you all together, you get a 0/10. That's a horrible sig. 5/10 would be like "Oh, it's cool and all, but I want to see what the other sig makers come up with..." That'd be a mediocre sig. A 10/10 would be like "OMGZ! THAT IS SO AWESOME! YOU'RE A SIG MAKING GOD!!!"
Now, to put this in perspective. Anywhere from a 0/10-4/10 is a BAD SIG. Horrible even. The requester is not likely to take this sig, even if he has nothing else to choose from. 5 is right in the middle, not too good, not too bad. Altogether mediocre. The requester may take it if there's nothing else to choose from. If there is though, said requester may not. A 6-7 is a good sig. Simple, likeable. Not bad. They'll probably take it. Now an 8-10 is really good. They will more than likely choose this one, and would usually give you credit in their signature, letting others know that you made it, and they were satisfied.
See, making random sigs is okay every once in a while. You can post them, and ask for feedback, which we'll give. But, random sigs are NOT very good practice, and SHOULD NOT be posted frequently. Maybe once every 2 weeks, tops. When you make a random sig, you don't have any goals to meet, or requirements to go by. That's why it's random. You wouldn't get very good practice in. Therefore, you'd keep posting sigs with the same quality, you'd never really challenge your abilities. It wouldn't make you WORSE, but it wouldn't make you better either.
Filling requests is alot better practice. You have specifications to go by, "goals" made by requesters to meet. It may seem like something hard to do at first, but with a little determination, it's actually easy to figure out. The more you challenge yourself, the better you get, you see?
Now, just to be clear. They ask, you make, not "You make, and ask". Fill some requests, it's not gonna kill you. It IS okay to post random sigs FROM TIME TO TIME, for FEEDBACK. But don't post more than 1 a week. It's kinda annoying. Just saying...
Again, no disrespect. You like making sigs it seems, and I'm just trying to help. Sorry if we "got off on the wrong foot", but if you want to learn, then listen.

Anything that makes someone trip out please.
I tried. It tripped me out just making it. O_o
It's not an original idea or nothing, just an optical illusion. I did have to make it from scratch though. I was afraid the quality would suffer if I just got a pic of the internet. Also, I can change the colors if you want, I just made it match your aura. Hope you like it. :)
