First, change the title to something normal people can read,
Second, Flow needed

I changed your subject to regular English characters, koolness, out of courtesy to members for whom English is a second language and they have difficulty translating odd language to English.

I like that iron man pic. Really clear picture. Be really cool if you had some equally clear elements of the story in the background, maybe other poses or some villains. Good quality, though.

Now I am curious...

And as for flow, what does that mean? Can you describe flow in the context of how sig artists use the term, and convert the definition for the everyday general user?

As for "normal" people in this group, I'd wager to say many, if not all, of us are beyond normal. ;)

I love the render you used. The contrast and sharpness of the image, are excellent. I think the background would be nice in color, but in b&w, it seems like there is something missing. I am not great with sigs, so I may not be the best person to give advice on it. Finally, a nice semi-transparent text would be a nice touch to ID yourself in the sig. Something soft, I would think. The render is great!

Flow in a Sig makers Definition, (to my understanding), is like if your render is sticking and Arm out, twords you or something, your would use C4Ds and Fractals and your text, should follow that and create a Flow for your eye to follow.
You can have Flow anyway, it just should have something to do with the render, I think

That is my understanding and I hope it helps

So this sounds more like focusing your camera lens. Objects closer to you are more vivid and crisp, where objects further away tend to blur gradually, heavy blur being far away, and light blur being close to the camera lens.

Yes, that is another Thing in Sig making, you add your own blur to create depth

I certainly hope not. I try to never be normal. normal people scare me.

Haha, you did it again..sry for sorry. I know it's a hard habit to break, but just remember that english is not the native language for many of our readers and slang and text-speak can be very difficult for them to figure out.

Flow, I believe, means to use different effects to direct the eye in the same direction as the signature's focal (usuall a render). So if the focal object is fairly vertical, you would not want most of your other stuff going horizontal but would want it more vertical to match the movement or look of the focal. The whole idea is to try and have the eyes go to the focal rather than anywhere else in the signature.
