You try really hard with your images, and it's great. But I'm going to give you some advice. Try to keep the proportions of the characters right, make sure you can SEE them clearly, and the text needs to be more defined. Usually, handwriting-esque text doesn't fit (you haven't done that yet, but just letting you know for future reference). Experiment a little bit more. When you see the text more clearly, and blend backgrounds more nicely, you'll get more definite results.

Work on more defining text. Pink text on that Pikmin and Olimar sig you made was not a good idea.

I won't be requesting, but I'll be offering advice! I'm no big-time sig maker myself. XD Just work on giving your sigs more definition.

idk how to use gimp, but these look like a pretty good start

i really like the background of the ganondorf one and the link one

like spindash, i think that ur text needs to be a little more defining, and in your ganondorf one, u should go w/ a lighter render so u can see more of the detail of him. also, he should be more in the center or bigger so that he becomes the focus of the sig. and w/ the link one, work the transparencies so its not just 4 opaque links.

but overall, good work, just needs a few minor improvements

Text: OddCrow(big, metallic make it cool :) )
Subtext: Diddy Kong(under diddy) Lucario(under lucario)
Font: Something cool, easy to read and bold( i trust you)
Image: Diddy and Lucario facing each other
Dimensions: same as in my sig now (not sure what that is)
Border: Shiny Black metallic
Colors: Orange/Brownish on Diddy's Side and blue-black/silver on lucario's side, fade into each other in the middle.

kind of complicated but I think you can handle it

Ok...but I will have too use a 2d lucario render(there are no good 3d ones). Is that OK?

yeah that's ok, unless that one where he is introduced in the SSE works, but either way it's cool.

Idk, I think my text is pretty cool, even though you can't quite read it ;_;

No offense platnum but you suck in making sigs, but the good thing is you try to make up for that by using clever techniques so yeah. Carry on using different effects and stuff and dont try to make the sigs look normal or they will just end up crap.

Aren't we encouraging? Any constructive criticism or advice? No? Then don't speak.

It is advice. Don't try and make normal sigs or it will just end up looking ugly and crap, carry on using those techniques that you are using to cover up the crapness.
