    Okay, I am going to be straight up but it's not to be mean but to help you.

    To be honest, it looks like the renders have just been slapped on a background you made. The text is not any good but then again most of us are hopeless at that, I can't blame you.

    Firstly, I'd suggest going to the tutorials section (Located here) and find one on basic signature making. It's sure to help you out. You can even click the link in my signature space to learn how to make a tag too.

    As for the text, this is pure gold. Can't go wrong with this tutorial. As for the fonts themselves, I'd recommend DaFont for awesome fonts.

    Now what I have said may sound harsh but it wasn't meant to be, just constructive criticism. Anything I can do to help. ^_^

    Nah its fine, I said 'any comments' accepted lol.
    I know im not that good, and trying to improve.

    I would say the Ferrari sig and my current are the best I have done in lines of blending, but im still learning ;\
    Text..ugh... I try you know, but its hit and miss.
    I had TONS of text from dafont, then I reformatted.... I havnt taken the time to even download or install any of them again.

    For blending (Just a basic thing not for professionals or anything but so you understand how people do it) get the 48 px chalk brush (you know the one) and just smudge small amounts of the edges of the render...you'll get the idea and then you can experiment until you are awesome at it. ^_^

    PS. I think the last tag is your best, just needs something to fill the void. Plus some nice text.

    Thnx for that, the last one all I had to work with was that render from Ragnorock Online, everything else after resizing was just gone...had to fill with something, and I had never even attempted a grunge, but thats what I came up with :)

    Chalk brush....I normally use blur at 5px and slowly do what you said. 48px though? thats not to big?

    That's it's default size, just make it smaller. (I don't recommend that for everything, just for this)

    PS. As for a practice type assignment thing (Lol I sound like a teacher), show me what you can come up with to fill the space. You have positioned the render perfectly so that you can fill it, now let's see how you do.

    PPS. Only do what I said if you want to, not because I said, lol.

    tbh the whole sig needs work


    Text: Try not to use big texts, that takes away alot focal, try to use a smaller text, somewhere near the focal..

    blending, try to use some effects overneath the render, try smudging, placing C4D's overneath it, brushing, anything that looks good

    colors, try to give the sig a more duotone coloring, now it's a background with some colors, and the car with it own colors...

    Um...the only bad image was the Fairlady Z31 which was completely blurred from the start...
    The rest were high quality pictures, and the Lamborghini I took myself.

    Explain what you mean by bad pics...

    The Ferrari sig is the only one I used lighting effects on.
