I really love this style I've been using for a while...And I made some animated stuff for it I'd like to share. Don't worry, it's not going to be my sig...

Anyways, this is what I use on my forum, and they're both made by ME :D

Second is a little too bubbley for my liking. Avatar is better, I would try to rework the sig.

THey have potential, but they seem very undefined right now.. you should add some strokes and make the metal more metallic

Better yes, it has more detail, and that's the key.

Yeah, much more interesting. But it seems like the focus is.. the pipes or whatever. If the name is the interest, then it would be better if you brough that in focus, by possibly eliminating such big and long pipes, and just making small ones for "addons" or you may call it.. "extras"

You get the point. :D

Otherwise the graphic skill is excellent, and there is potential like the other guys said. Keep up the good work. :D

It looks without form now...

I meant something different that would alter the organization and look of the graphic, but nevermind that.

Idk, but maybe It would be interesting if you made the wires transparent and have the "transmission" pass through the wires... idk, just a random idea.

You're the designer, you don't have to do what I say, but it is food for thought. :D

I was thinking the same thing with the transparency...But to where one wire would be transparent showing you the sparks..

Although this would be hard, I would probably make the wire, "exposed" and give it a old, grungy feel, so when the current passes through the wire, it makes sparks in places. And for a bit of un-realistic effect you could make the wire slightly glow blueish or something.

Pretty cool, maybe you could make the gold rings less flat.

Already did that..I'm uploading now lol...They're circles that I cut the tops/sides off of for the cord to go in.

EDIT: Here you go, new rings :)
