These are two sigs that I made about a year a go, they're probably the best ones I've made that don't conform to my current 'style'.
Interesting fact about those two sigs, the characters are both random anime pictures I found and trimmed around. But the backgrounds are distorted images that I actually took with my camera whilst on holiday in New York ^^. The first was taken at the top of the Empire State Building and the second was taken on the island where the Statue of Liberty is (forgets name).
Now, onto my better stuff, even though I haven't actually used this too much, I think they look much more professional.
My first attempt at this style:
My second attempt:
Both of these are just one image, the first is one off google and it's a screen from a video clip on a game I like, the second is a screenshot of my main Guild Wars toon.
Now, the ones I'm currently working on for this site.
Darth Iniquitous:
Lash Venedray:
Here are my more recent attempts at a sig for Lash, they're in order from first to last, with the last being my favourite, the first isn't clean enough for my liking and the second is far too dull.
Renata:
So Meira spoke to me briefly about doing a sig for her character, but the conversation was cut short. Afterwards, however, I got rather bored and decided I'd have a go at a few (at around two in the morning). So here are my various attempts and variations, the last two are my favourite.
And then with one of the images I found, I felt the urge to make this one.
Alpha:
Here are a couple of varients.
Whiskey:
Meira asked me to have a crack at a sig for her assassin Whisky, I made 8 varients in total, some with only very minor differences. She went with the first one even though it was one of my least favourite.
Rhissai'arckan:
Only had one shot at this, but Dire liked it well enough.
Cain:
For another site, just a quick one.
Tyrann Rrowv / Darigaaz:
This is a sig I made for the Jedi Battlemaster character I never got around to finishing. There's also 'Darigaaz' the renamed version which is for Jace's character.
Vorr Kaeel:
These are sigs I made for the Grand Master character I was working on for another site, but sadly the admin vanished and so it didn't seem active enough for me to continue on with it, I did like some of the sigs though.
Celke Tarria:
These are all varients I made for Eclipse's character. I'm not too fond of the second image used but in truth I have no real preference.
Rhissai:
This was a second attempt since neither I nor Dire Wolf really liked the first signature I made. This time we opted for a real life image which I prefer to work with and I think I like versions five and seven the most.
Vreem Took:
I had two images to work with, Not really sure I have a real preference, maybe the first or last one.
Delta:
Once again Dire Wolf had a request for me, this one was a bit tricky though. Since the other signature he's displaying (Rhissai) is green we wanted something that wasn't that colour, however green is the perfect colour to use for the image he wanted, but here are some of them, I don't know if these will be all of them right now.
Zaine Aarkan:
A new customer, so to speak. I liked this image, it was fun to work with though personally out of the ones I made I prefered the ones without the rectangles. In the end I think I came to like the blue ones more.
Echo:
My first work for Squee though I have to say I did really enjoy working with this image. I have about 10 different versions of the same image but I just kinda got carried away.
Melody Prance:
This is for another of Squee's characters, same image but with two caption variants and then with six variants for each of those.

Now what a lot of people judge to be my best piece. My one and only attempt at a wallpaper. Now, I made my first attempt at said wallpaper probably almost two years ago, back when I first got photoshop.
Here's the original, I took five images in total, the background, the chain at the top and in the center, the logo at the top left and then, quite obviously, the two prominent figures. So here was my original version of my Vincent Valentine wallpaper:

And then after I learnt this new style of doing things, I decided to update my wallpaper. Here's the final piece:
Link: fc04.deviantart.com/fs28/f/2008/153/6/1/Vincent_Wallpaper_Upgrade_by_Jennothe.jpg
In my opinion, the updated version looks far better than the original, it's still my wallpaper to this day.
So, thoughts comments opinions? I'll update with any other pieces when I do them.
