The BG's on both are outstanding and the brushing on the first is pretty cool. Both renders a well chosen and you worked them in to the sigs very well. The font on the first is not my fav, but the font on the second on is really cool and works. 8/10 9/10
Top 8/10, but a little too monotoned. Bottom, 7/10, don't like the Anime render. (please rate my image and text in the sig -- which means the arrogant phrase, and my avatar)
I love your style, especialy since you use no brushes (afair). I say 8.5/10 both. Not sure which one i like more. Good work!
