Shinx

I decided to play with lightning again. Somehow it always looks to chaotic. Anyway this little Shinx is able to make pretty purple lightning. Thats the reason theres so much purple.

That tut might help a little. ANd don't make me smack you for poor use of color >X

I have lightning already and I never did play nice with the color wheel. >_>

Electric blue would have been beter

Just follow some tuts to get away from the aimless chaos. :P It helps tons believe me. But you're doing better then a lot of people so kudos. Color selection def. needs improvement. The purple/bright green contrast is just too much.

Qwert this may scare you but I have worn stuff that clashes worse then this. I plan to try out other backgrounds but I think I may stick with this just to blind people with the colors. =p

Honestly though anytime I use lightning the sig turns to chaos I have no idea why. Reason I normally avoid using it.

Do controlled chaos :p

But no colors. You can have crazy colors if you use a scheme

Explain what you meany by scheme.

Now fashion is a whole other department darling, I'd be able to help you even more there. xD

But I believe Craizen means that if you have a color scheme it will look nice and work, which is true. Think of it this way. Right now you're puking up rainbows, when they could be in nice uniform (planned out) stripes. Just look at my current sig. There is red, white, purple, blue, pink, grey, etc.

Best metaphor I could think of. xD

It works. Most colors will work together to a degree. It's just where they are at and what shade of the color it is

Something tells me if you helped me with my fashion all my stuff would find it way into the snow. As for your Sig I kinda see where your going. Most of the colors though match the render and if I did that where would the fun be?

I'm rather picky about which color shades I use. You all seem to lean towards washed out dull colors while I lean towards bright flashy colors.

Depends, flashy is harder to work with cause it clashes more. Trick is to have a flashy main color then supporting tones

Like Layne's stuff was always cool

Pretty bird. @_@

Anyway I really don't think I can do that with this sig. Like I said anytime I use lightning this just get out of control in one way or another. Theres no colors in my sig's background to match the render to make things blend and I think thats the biggest issue.

Then you use purple and green hues that match, most likely a purple base with green highlights, lighting

Yeah issue with redoing colors is theres little chance I'm going to figure out the style of text I used the first time.

I like the new one better :D Keep going; you'll get it looking even better.
