Nice seeing you around again Gonzo. Unfortunately since youre an ex-member you do need to go through the proper steps. I can't do anything with your app until you go through "The grass isnt greener" and get placed somewhere. If I do recall you left, and didnt go inactive, correct? I'd love to have you back on the team however when you do that.

I think my gamertag was Sakura when you were around. Quite possibly Koneko. Im not sure... Kween Spade even.. haha.

As far as the app, the design team is just a team now. We had clans for that reason (wanting to design only) but they were shut down. Ive been inactive for a while so they may have changed whether youre allowed to be on a team without being in a clan but I have no idea.. Ill ask someone that does.

you definitely dont remember me since im still a newbie to XGC lol. i say the best thing to do is just make sigs for your app until your grass isnt greener goes through. (if anything i say do requests and post the results here for approval to post [since you cant technically take requests yet]. dont tell jupiter though ;) lol)

The sig itself is very good but a lil bare if you know what I mean? No C4d or background it just looks plain I'd try using some backgrounds to maybe liven up the sig itself all in all tho it's a very well made sig. No too much I can see wrong with it. Tho I would use the blur tool set the opacity around 10% and blur your edges to make it blend more naturally with your background and everything. Also I would've taken the blur tool again to the back left arm and blurred it a lil more to give it more depth then take the sharpen tool around 10% as well and sharpen the rest of focal which in this case would be god of war. Good job tho, your wiz sig is on point.

Make sure you post your grass isn't greener app Hun. I can't do anything with this until it goes through :) but basically like they said keep your app active and feel free to check out some requests and post em here. Nugget can handle approvals and what not

Wait I can? i have so much power!!!

As for the sig gonzo, I like it a lot, but I feel like a different text, and text color should have been used. I also feel that the sword in his left hand (right of sig) is too sharp, and takes from the focal . As for the blacksmith sig, it's very clean and simple. I like it! A more orange light might have helped more, but I still like the simplicity of it.

@Jupiter i did sweetie its been posted i think faceup or something like that is taking care of it lol

@shredda yeah i see where you're coming from with the blur and stuff but both the sigs i made were not suppose to have so much stuff as c4d, its make it look all cluttered and disgusting! Its suppose to be clean signatures only certain signatures need extra stuff like that but i do agree with the blur lol also thanks for the compliments on my wiz sig

@Nugget text is always a little headache lol but ill see what i do next time

I'll have to agree that the patriots image is lacking, but it has a nice idea. The trophy takes away from the focal, so I would overlap it behind the player. Also there are sharp bit around the player that could be smoothed or erased.

The assasins creed one is very nice, but could blend more (try a gradient map.)
