    Pretty sexy, a lot going on, but its a good thing in this sig, I would make no other change except move the font from the bottomg right to bottom left, since at that corner where you currently have it there is little space, and a lot going on, however in the other corner you could even things by putting the text tehre, otherwise its good, nice lighting too. Just my two cents.

    no offence but you shouldnt take advice as said from above poster.
    ill point out some things that he said, wth are very arguable imho to help u get better.

    "Pretty sexy, a lot going on, but its a good thing in this sig"

    -eh not really at all, no flow looks like u wapped things in there just for whatever, too many effects is worse then having too little , and in this case it shows try some tuts to help u with the basics

    "move the font from the bottomg right to bottom left, since at that corner where you currently have it there is little space, and a lot going on"

    no , dont do that, a font should always second te focal, also try to use more eye catching font placement, i like to use a simple font (georgia) at 14 pt, then use a 1.5 pt arial and right andom stuff as seen in my tabula rasa tag, there is a good tut on text if u look around.

    "nice lighting too. "

    - dunno where u saw that but the lighting is random and really off ,too many sources and imho non of them are right, and they are all way to noticable, dullthat down, lower the saturation and brightness and try adding lighting using a soft brush and blend as u tag, or a c4d effect ..

    some other things would be,
    -when resizing make sure u hold shift lulz. the render is deff distorted
    -dont put the render upside down, not good .
    -besides the minimal purple its a bit monotone try andd diff colours and c4d and experiment
    -make sure u have a good focal, in ur sig it looks like you get drawn to all the random lights which takes away from the sig.

    not much else to say, dont take this a me bashing u, use it to get better, alot of people say, use tuts, but i think this will help more, gl and if u need more advice just ask.

    I changed the font and moved it.. thanks for the feed back.

    as for manahan... The render wasn't altered, or turned upside down, thats how i got it. Other than that I do agree that theres alot going on in it but I also agree with Agon when he said that it works for the sig.
    Thanks for your input on the signature though, i appreciate it.

    I like it, but the font can be tweaked.

    the flow left side is good
    right side is way to crowded.. just work on keeping the sig niice and simple...

    No offense taken, really hated my advice huh? Oh well, if everyone was the same the world would be dull. Glad you appreciate the advice Dpritts, btw I see your edited version, text looks much more in place IMHO.

    Actually, manahan is right. The text was better in the bottom right, as it clears up the left side for negative space to balance out the composition, and, as he said, the text needs to second the focal. You haven't read my Text tutorial, have you manahan? Cos your advice on text is pretty much exactly along the lines of what I would have recommended. ;) Great minds think alike, eh? :D :D

    okay im not reallu lieing this upside down render thingy, it isnt bad but i jus like it the normal way i suppose, The font doesnt work at all it stands out to much maybe put it sumwhere else and change the colour or sumthing, Its kinda messy theres lots going on and u need to create some flow and depth coz it jus seems way to messy t the moment.Also have more focus on the render itself rsther the all those lines.

    When i was making this i tried flipping it and it just didnt look the same. The render and original are upside down, and i liked it but it came out bad reversed.
