Try something without a character poping out, and do something inside, and ya drop the shadow inside..
Besides that it looks good and you've improved

So you brushed the background, add a render and then added some text? This is the usual thing people do when they start to make sigs. Now to improve you need to read tuts and look at how other people make sigs and take some of their ideas, then use them yourself. Personally when I went through the beginner stage, I kept making sigs how I could. After a while I discovered new and better ways of making my sigs and my skills improved. So now i can make a range of diffrent kinds of Sigs made with a range of tools and skills. Keep trying, read tuts and never give up and you will improve. :)

i tend to not like pop-out sigs. it's hard to keep them contained. nonetheless, this is pretty well-done for a beginner <lol i say that like i'm all advanced>.

a few tips: smaller text is better. farther from the edges is better. less effects to the text (both shape and color) is generally better. use the text as an element that ADDS to the flow, not breaks it up.

all definitely improvements on the things i said.

the size is all too large though.


look around at what you consider to be the good sigs around here. most of them are between 300-400px wide by 120-150px tall. that makes it so that people don't have to scroll too far to get past your sig and read what is under your post. people HATE huge sigs. try some smaller format stuff.

agreed. your render is sitting on TO of your shiny background. there's no integration. it needs to have more depth.

Only thing I have to say about the first one is, work on rendering because the render is way to choppy.

lol blend it in don't blur it in. Looks like they are improving though. Try to make the bg blend with the render and the colors all go well with eachother. Look at how other people place text and see what places look good what style looks good. Just get an idea then create your own style. Keep practicing <3
