If you're using GIMP, I think the font size is either 10, 11, or 12. Can't remember. Make sure anti-alias is off (I forgot where you turn that off too but I think it's just a checkbox somewhere).
And don't use GIMP's stroke. It sucks. Use alpha to layer > select > grow > 1 > paint bucket. Don't try to pixel in the border yourself, it won't work.

Ahh Dangan Ronpa.

Anyway, I actually think the Koopa's is better. The black effect thing at the top is pretty close to what the original was like. I think what's missing is that where you have a white strip, the original has a gray to white radial (I think) gradient. So it sort of fades out.
Oh and the original uses tech brushes. You can actually rotate brushes in GIMP. I think. I remember something like that.

Be careful not to cut Koopa off.

I can actually see these.

They're pretty good and keep things simple without the flair. Only thing I would recommend is with the text. Set the anti-aliasing method to "None" if you're using a block/pixel font. That way, it doesn't look blurry.

If you're using Photoshop, this is where you change that:


Also, if you're using the Visitor font (which I'm pretty sure is being used in this case), keep it at Size 10. Anything else usually ends up looking pretty messy.

Oops. I always saw that there was an anti-aliasing box, but I never bothered with it. :/ Will keep in mind.

Also, 10pts to Akanjao, because I use GIMP. And I always heard 12pt font, so that's what I used in these.

I learned that the hard way. XP

I wish I could make signatures. These look so crisp and clean.
I did a painting on Tuesday and needless to say, I'm impressed with the result (and the colors):

My scanner wasn't big enough to scan everything and I didn't even want to take a picture of it (3DS camera is bad).

Well, from what I can see, it's pretty darn good. I'm trying to figure out if it's a wolf or a griffon or something like that. But yeah, the highlighting and shading seems pretty good. Maybe take a picture with the 3DS anyway, just so we can get an idea of what the entire thing looks like.

Anyway, I made a new banner, tried a few new things as well. Criticisms are always welcomed, as I'm always trying to get better:

I'm /terrible/ at posting in stuff I join, especially when work and school are distracting me.

I've always been a fan of your banners. The colours in this are fantastic, the contrast very well and don't distract from the overall banner. Very well done. It certainly has a nice place in your signature.

I finally actually drew something a few nights ago, during some planning for a story I'm writing. I wanted to flesh out my protagonist, although I really haven't drawn digitally in over a year.

Spoiler: Tall Drawing

This dude is Isaac, he hasn't really been fleshed out much yet, but he's very timid which isn't really good when you have zombies surrounding you daily.

I drew this very simple Azumarill (Still a Beginner) I also forgot the tail....

What do you guys think about it?

I'm a bit late but nobody has said anything soooooo.... I want to ask if you start with light sketches and make it darker as you go? It will develop a more crisp clean look if you draw that way. Otherwise it looks excellent just a tad shaky

I have been having art block lately real bad, but I did get around to drawing this lovely devil today

Spoiler: Dante

He looks bad because I rushed him xD

Get better? Haha...
I don't really have much to say. That light (I suppose you used a radial semi-transparent gradient) on the left side of your text, seems a bit... Out of place. Although, I suppose you have made it this way, so it feels less bland? If yes, then there's not much to say.

I actually loved this. It's not my specialisation or anything, but I quite like your drawing, specially the lines and... The draw in itself. I liked it!

Also, can someone give some critique on my new sig? Learned the style today and I am quite liking it. Still has a lot stuff to work with, but... I loved the outcome!

True, and yeah, I did fudge around with that a lot and tried all kinds of settings to see what would work best, but through process of elimination, this is pretty much what I ended up with.

But hey, thanks for the insight though.

Yes. That's what I try to do with my drawings even though it really doesn't look like it. I'll try to work on that some more. I was just a little scared that if I made it too dark it would look ugly.
