I'm watching Ah! My Goddess right now, which is why I was inspired to do a Belldandy SIG.

Mine is Initial D, as you can see below me
 

MOD NOTE: J-Lord has brought it to our attention that this is a signature he made. According to the rules, "signatures must be your own work", so unfortunately, this is not a valid entry. So sorry! ~poetictragedy

It's Isaac from Golden Sun.

Dreamcastor - Good colors and text, though it seems a little plain.

Breathless - I like the composition, but I think you blurred too much on the girl's hair.

ogromm - Good text.

[Breathless]

Poe - Nice, I loved Golden Sun! Anyway - really cool work. The text is a bit tricky to read over the scarf. It's really awesome though!
Ogomn - Again, cool job! I find it a bit hard to keep my focus on the render. 
Dreamcaster - Great sig, alot of subtle things going on here. I think maybe too subtle, it's lacking some impact.

[† Emotional Outlet]

Poe -- Ye, Golden Sun. It flows well, and the lighting and background match the style of the render. The left side might be a little too empty, but I have no idea.

ogromm -- The text pulls attention away from the render, but otherwise I like it. Ed stands out well while still appearing to be a part of the scene.

Dreamcastor -- The border and text are very faint! This lack of contrast can make the right side of the signature look empty. Otherwise, I like the colours and render placement. It's very feminine and soothing.

ogromm: Best one, I just wish it could have been a little bigger.

poetic: Those hours paid off.

Breathless: Cool border.

[Minkseru]

Dreamcaster:  Simple energetic,but a bit bright for my tastes.
Poetic Tragedy: Love the action pose, again way bright for my tastes, but I am a bit odd for that.  A bit of odd shadow at the back end of the signature not sure if that was by design or not.
Ogromm:  The left hand looks real lazy, but overall not a bad signature.
