cmon guys, i really need some crits on this sig

Zoner · 11-13-2003, 12:13 PM

Ok...crits it is:

1) The text needs to be larger and/or standout more. Try using a more appropriate font and ditch the underline.

2) The sig as a whole is glaring, which is what I assume you were going for considering the subject matter. There are a lot more things you could do with fire that would be easier on the eyes

3) The sig doesn't really showcase the character Cinder, does it (Cinder is a comic book hero of some sort, I'm guessing...I'm 30 and not exactly hip with the new heroes around...). The imagery of the character is lost in semi-transparency. Try finding better source pics and bring at least one of them to the forefront with full opacity.

Does that help?

Thanx for the crits zoner, it will help me out abit on my next sig instead of spending hrs and hrs on something so friggin simple mad:

Cinder is a character from the arcade classic Killer Instinct. He's the definition of an experiment gone bad. hellfire:

If you want to read the full story of him its below (which i doubt most of you will but what the hay!).

General: Ben Ferris was yet another victim of Ultratech's cruel games. He had been serving a lengthy jail sentence for numerous counts of robbery, assualt, and he was a prime suspect in a string of murders that had occured before he was jailed. Because of this, he was eligible for transfer to Utlratech. In order to help out with overcrowding prisons, Ultratech had made an offer to the government; give them a handful of prisoners every month, and for a small handling fee,, the government wouldn't ask what they were doing with the convicts. President Sheridan managed to determine who exactly in Congress was corrupt enough to agree to such a bargain, and the deal was struck. Ben Ferris was one of the few inmates who actually got a choice as to whether or not he would let Ultratech experiment on him. He initially resisted, but Sheridan filled his head with dreams of power. The corporate president promised Ben that he would be a super human, superior to everyone else. Ben finally agreed, and even became excited by the prospect. However, during the experiements, a horrible accident occured. Many scientists were killed, including Dr. Scott Fulgore, a department chair for Ultratech's engineering department. Ben survived; however, his body had been mutated by the accident. He was no longer human. In fact, he was far from it - he was now mostly composed of fire, and magma. Ben was horrified at first, but then he realized that his new form gave him great powers. Sheridan asked him to undergo a combat test in the form of the Killer Instinct tournament, and he agreed. Sheridan would arrange it so that Ben, now renamed Cinder, would fight an being who was the exact opposite that he was in a test of extremes. The ice alien Glacius. Cinder gave a decent performance during the first round of the tournament, but the competition was especially hard in this, the 7th Killer Instinct tournament, and Cinder hadn't quite gotten the hang of his powers by the time he reached Glacius. As a result, he was badly beaten. He nearly died, but barely managed to save himself. While struggling for life, the Killer Instinct tournament ended, and Ultratech went to, and came back from, 2000 years in the past. Ignorant of this, an enraged Cinder makes his way back towards Ultratech with the hopes of getting some revenge against President Sheridan.[/i]
