"but it still looks great." That's your view of your own work which is subjective. What really matters isn't your view of the signature, but other's.
On the signature, it's a fairly well recreated effect, only a little bit too much noise I think. It Could be a bit clearer.
iiPod, I seen your work. I love em. I was a member to OneView, sadly it passed away.
But, there is something I must correct you on. Yes, he said, "but it still looks great", and yes that is his opinion.
Since when was an opinion too much ego?
I mean, think about it. He likes his work.
Remember when I created the Tech Skin? First submission to OneView? Well, I use to say that, the skin was the 'sh!$'. Now, I look at it, and I am like "ew".
Now, why did I say it was good? That's because I felt accomplished. I felt as if I reached a goal.
By you telling him to cut the ego, you are bringing his self-esteem down. He likes his work. Respect that.
Now, you can say your opinion also. Which is perfectly fine. Just don't bash the creator.
Sorry for being an a$$. Just don't like to see beginners have a rough time by people who has been doing things for a while.
I myself aren't that good. But I try. I like to try.
