(Of course, you adjustment gradient layers over the light source to get the soft colours to suit your sig)

High res image - This is just how big the image is.

Say you have a mini image (10px X 10px) and you stretch it to 1000px X 1000px your going to get a pixelated mess.

So, keep to big high quality renders. So you can work with them better.

Thanks alot Triv1um, you've been a lot of help to me, now could you just tell me how my new sig is?

Its ok.

Have you used the stroke affect around the render? Dont.

Download some photoshop brushes to make it a wee but more interesting.

Darken the background up. Add a light source.

I'd say it might look nicer with a more fiery coloured background as the blue is quite striking and almost draws the eye away from the main focus. Something warm and rich. Using a gradient map adjustment layer above the background might do the job, or the hue/saturation function. Maybe you could overlay some symbols from the game over the background too to add to that epic feel if you fancy playing around a bit.

Triv1um: Nice work. Good advice given.
naomi: Great efforts! For beginning it's very nice. I agree with Triv1um in that a light source would set it off better. I can tell you were going for a type of shadowing from behind so the light source would set that off well. I was guessing you were using Corel Draw or Corel Photopaint because the background texture resembles many that are in Corels stock texture lists. Both good programs as well as Photoshop. Don'tcha just love how an art project just comsumes ya with passion?...it's like a drug for me. =)~

I will upload the rest of my works later, please check them out!
Thanks for your help everyone!

blue really doesnt match kratos IMO, but the second one was a lot better :P

anyway follow what trivum said :P i dont really know how to make things better myself XD

Since you're going with Kratos, red would have looked a lot better. Just keep practicing and you'll become better. :)
