    few suggestions, but first : i like the colors and i do think its a bit better than some of your previous stuff in some ways but not all so here:

    first, i think you need to fill in a bit more, the bg is kinda simple, which helps bring out the colors but there arent enough effects to compensate for it. you could splatter a bit more, add a c4d, add some contrasting lights etc. :)

    second, i'd ake sure the top half of the render is clear, this is always something worth watching, to avoid losign your focus (its not noticeable this tie but as you keep going just keep it in mind ^^)

    and last, think the style of text doesnt really apply, if your gonna go for a stylish text ake it soething that pertains to the focus/style :) i dont know any good font sites as i'm still pretty terrible at this part of sig making but i do know its important ;) maybe you'll get it before me ^^

    keep up the good work :D hope this helps :)

    It's a lot better than your current sig. Colours are a little monotone, but still pretty good. Blending is good. my main beef is the text. wrong style, and poor placement.

    try a few tutorials.

    I suggest using the default fonts, but only the good looking ones. Maybe add a gradient map or a color balance and change your shadows and midtones to get more color variety so it's less monotone.

    v2 is the best

    ahh..see that was a great guide:)

    thanks a lot, and I will be sure to fix it in photoshop.

    thanks again.

    edit: since most people said they liked v2, I took that one and added better text using the guide from Inverse

    i think it looks a lot better now.
