Just a little advice:

Alt 0164 is a very thick symbol. It is usually best not to use it right next to thin symbols like commas, but to use it next to symbols like Alt 0171.

When making a transition, as a general rule, the steeper the smoother. Also you should almost never put a comma in between Alt 0184 and a middle symbol. It starts to curve the transition the wrong way, and thus looks disconnected. Sorry I can't demonstrate ATM, I'm on my iPad. I can later if I'm being too ambiguous.

Thanks for the advice, Nop Patar, but it might be best not to over-complicate the thread with making signatures precise; that's more of a design aspect, but I like to think that everybody will have different tastes on how signatures should look. :)


... though you have just given me an idea... :)

Of course the thin-thick thing doesn't matter too much. This was what I was talking about before.

*°•,¸ ‹— see how right before it transitions it starts to flatten out.
........ˆ.,¸¸

Instead of continuing the course of the curve the comma changes its direction.

*°•¸
......ˆ.,¸¸

Now, see how without the comma it transitions smoothly, it looks much more connected? You wouldn't have to change much, their are just a few places where you should take a comma out. You wouldn't want to give new artists bad habits, and for some reason this is quite a common mistake. :)

Trying out the colours and new font for the first time. Not bad. Colours I chose and where I put them mean something :P

Again, thank you for the feedback, but as I said earlier I prefer to think that people will choose their own ''style'' for signatures. Getting too into the fine-details could put some people off, and would give people the impression that signatures would have to look a certain way.

Sorry for taking up a lot of posts and being ridiculously ocd, but I'm not asking you to explain this in your guide, just take a couple commas out. No one will notice the change, but their transitions will look much better.

Not trying to be annoying :P

Good work on the guide!

I do have a question regarding forum signatures which isn't exactly about making them, so I hope nobody minds if I post it here..

Is there a way to set my signature so that it applies it at the end of all my posts (or just some of them if I choose a setting at the time of writing?) or do I simply have to copy and paste it myself at the end of posts that I want my signature to be on?

I'm kind of new to using these forums so that would probably explain the noob-ish question. :|

You'll need to place it manually on every post, as these forums don't yet have the capabilities to have them automatically appear. I've heard a few people, though, have scripts which enters the signature for them. :)
