I'm sorry for not posting, but I'm simply in a slump. I'm not satisfied with any of the signature requests (or my own free work), and I'm sure none of you would either. I'm going to try again...

Tried a new energy-based style, and it didn't turn out too good in my opinion. The color scheme was messed up from the get-go gradient maps, the backdrop was cluttered, and there was no compensation for flow in the composition. It's okay, but it could have been a whole lot better.
Note: If anyone wants an .xcf or .psd of any of my creations to see what I did/edit it, do not hesitate to PM me. It can really help you learn some nice techniques and could possibly be a tutorial in itself.

Actually one of my favorite signatures to date. I like this better than Incandescence in some ways. I really love the render I chose to use, and the style I did this in. I revisited Incandescence's style and roughed it down to less effects and more highlighting and fractals. Overall a really nice signature to me, and I might want to come back and re-edit it at a later. Background's a bit dark. For now, this will suffice.
