    The text seems a little misplaced.... other than that I see little wrong with it! Great work!

    Well, the pose of the character is off. Otherwise it's great!

    Ya, the problem is the text. I have no clue how to do a good text effect, and my usual style isn't working on this one.

    I would just experiment moving it around to other areas of the sig. And if all fails, just set the text to overlay and find a good spot for it.

    tried all areas, and it is on overlay. Just duplicated the layer because you couldn't see it otherwise.

    If you can't find a good way to use text, you should look up a text tutorial on deviant art. They actually have some tutorials on how to place your text in a signature. Usually I stay away from the overlay stuff, it usually makes it hard to see or it either blends in too much. Since the sig is so small, put the text in a corner. Also, try using green text so that it keeps with the green theme. Thats really all the advice I have.

    i think you should get rid of the boxes. Its kinda disrupting flow. Right now its flowing away from the render horizontally. And the boxes are going vert. As for the text, i think its all just trial and error. Try a quote or something.

    I love how the whole sig blends together really well. I dont see anything wrong with it, btw the green guy is my favorite for some reason, although I have only played the demo.

    Instead of putting RoB, I think your text would look better just as 'Reaper' or, 'Bunny'.

    In a lot of your sigs.

    Alright. I'll do a simple list of steps to make a clipping mask.

    1: Make a new layer (transparent).
    2: Use a brush (splatter is used most of the time) and brush on that layer (use white or black).
    3: Next create a new layer (hide the brushed layer) and go to IMAGE>APPLY IMAGE.
    4: After you duplicated your image on the new layer, move it around. Where you placed the brushes, you should see different parts of the image inside the brush areas.
