Boo hoo, same turnout.

You should current it AC, it looks awsome :)
That's what I was thinking. If it looks good, why does it matter? =\
Brushes are monotoned, compared to C4D's Which have a wider spectrum of color and details. Plus, it takes more skill to use than just clicking away in random patterns trying to cover the background.

Because, unlike Brushes, where you can download them, and click randomly, you have to place each render in a portion of a sig where it will complement the rest of it. For the higher up part, you actually have to create these renders.

I can't dispute that, I used them last year at school. But I don't have 1000 dollars floating around in my house (only 30 :O). And I'm not going to save up and buy them just so people on a website will like my sigs lol, I'll stay with brushes ithankyew.

Well, brushes can still be used in creative ways...

Examples:

Image
(For the second one, I mean the blood, not the background)
Image
(I used some brushes for the matrix effect in the background, combined with a render I found using Google)

lol I'm not saying those were good (they're actually quite old), I'm just saying that brushes can be used in other and more creative ways than making backgrounds. :P

dudes, I barely even use c4d anymore, yeah they are good, but many people can make it good without it too.
lets compare just to tell you why brushes aren't so good:

flashback time with some of my brush stuff from over a year ago:

vs tags with some c4d (like 1 or 2):

Image

Image

vs tags with no c4d:

Image

Image

Image

weigh your options well, and yeah it doesn't matter what you did in the tag as long as it looks good, except if you made a stock tag and added a little dot and called it your own then that's something else

No, you're didn't understand what I meant.

If something looks pleasing, then why does it matter how hard it was to make?

I guess my speculation on all of this must have something to do with my lack of PS knowledge, but I'd still like to know anways.

Exactly.
Voltage, your current sig is awsome, yet all you did was take a screencap :) (the POA one)

But back to the topic at hand.... Armed, why havent you currented it yet? :P
