Well I've been practicing with photoshop a bit more and I created my new siggy:

 

as well as my avvy:

 

I love my avvy. I just adore it. I have no idea why, but I do. My siggy, well it's a little dark but that's what I was going for because well... seeing the stock image I choose, a bright background wouldn't have matched.

Seems like I'm better making Higurashi and Umineko type of avvy and sigs more than anything else x3

What do you guys think? ^^

They are really nice ^^ I like how the light hit Kanon especially since it's a dark backround. Draws more attention, y'know owo

As for Rena (I think?) I like how it's really simple, but yet still eye-catching

Keep up the good work chica ^^

Ooh nice work Hinako. 8D You do seem to be getting better.

Kanon:

Good: He fits in pretty well.

Needs improvement: I think that the blood splotches and the name shouldn't be so far away from Kanon, who should be the focal point.

 

Rena:

Good: Everything except the Needs improvement.

Needs improvement: I think that the yellow eye is a little distracting.

 

I like the avatar a bit better. But I love the fact that you used these two characters.

Thank you Coded~

I didn't want to put the text to close to Kanon because then that would leave the left side completely bare but maybe I put it a little too far away.

Lol i was originally gonna make her eye red ._. x3

 

Especially since both of them are so similar 8D

It's really cool, I agree with Coded that the text should be a bit closer. I love your avatar by the way, she's so cute.

I've download some brushes that make similar blood effect, did you use something like that?

it looks cool and ur avatar looks cute ^ ^

No it was actually a custom shape I have ^^

You can download brushes? That's cool ._.

I love both of them! <3 I could never do anything like that in Photoshop. ._.

Except it's sort of odd how Rena's eyes are two different colors...or was it intentional? Still looks nice, though.

 

(And I lurve that pic of Kanon. 8D Where'd you find it~?)

The two different colored eyes were intentional 8D It's because originally I was going make a Rena sig to go with the avvy and in the sig I was going to use an image of Rena with her hatchet/cleaver, and I was going to make both her eyes yellow. Then I found lovely pictures of Kanon on google, went fan girl and made a sig of Kanon instead of Rena 8D

Yeah, you just have to download them and upload in your PS program, if you search at google you'll find some links, I forgot the site I used, but there are some at DA too.

Well thanks to Gizelita for informing me about downloading brushes, I made this ._.

I think I went overboard D:

The text is something Rika Furude says in one of the episodes (I believe in the second season) but I don't remember which exactly ._.

It's kinda bad quality ._.

 

So, now for this one:

Good: I think that the text works here.

Needs improvement: Rika doesn't blend into the background that well.

...But I still love Rika.
