God, you have gotten really intense with making signatures, Josie. Your becoming better than me. I'm very jealous of you. Keep up the awesome work!
Because she has a backseat graphics artist telling her what to do with tutorials. I've tried to tell her to try to slip away from them and combine her learned skills from them, but she seems reliant on them. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing (sorry to sound harsh: I just try to be different by avoiding tutorials, so now I've grown to resent them Dx). Josie, you've gotten dramatically better, but now, you're replacing your overuse of brushes with C4Ds... xD But that's alright. You can do a lot more with C4Ds than brushes anyways. Just work a bit on color schemes. Like, your last signature just had too much going on, everything would blend together and hurt my eyes.
And, haha, your computer Scarface isn't mad at you for making so much? Heh, the reason I haven't made very many things recently to hone my skills is because I feel GIMP is really harsh on Huey. When I get a new computer, I'm planning on moving everything graphics oriented to it (including the majority of my fonts), invest in Photoshop for it, and keep Huey as the lovable computer he is. :> --Oh, sorry for rambling. xD What I should say is that you're computer must be very tolerable for you. But you should seriously consider making a few things using techniques you have learned, but without have a tutorial telling you what to do. That way you'll feel you actually made it 100% of the way.
