    Hey,
    Here's my first attempt at a sig;
    I couldn't decide which background I preferred so I'll upload both :lol:

    EDIT: Made some changes to this one, will do the other later.

    Any comments or (constructive) criticisms would be appreciated! Thanks!

    Needs to be cropped. Blue doesn't usually go good with red. Might want to darken the background a bit. Looks good other then that.

    Good job for your first sig.

    I'm a fan of long widths myself, everyone has their own preference in that department I believe.

    In my opinion, you should try to keep the height under 125px. Check out some of the other signatures people have posted for reference.

    wow, i think the classic first sig was completely thrown out the window here (if there is such a thing)

    most people just have a background, a render on top of it, and some text

    you, on the other hand, did some stuff to your render

    keep doing that. try to blend it into the background of the sig.

    everything could be improved, so just work on it, except the text, i would just redo that completely, sorry lol but the text is no good.

    keep up the nice work :)

    Thanks! I really appreciate it!

    I know the name needs a lot of work lol, I just stuck it on last minute before uploading because I completely forgot about it :rolleyes:

    Haven't had much time to mess about on PS in the last few days, will get to work as soon as I get the chance!

    that looks much better, the text still isnt great, but its better

    i would just resize it differently next time - dont shrink it, but instead cut off some stuff, because it looks shrunk and he is short
