Composition isn't that great. A LOT of negative space as well. Try expanding your effects and colors. Text could use work too. Just IMO.
There are rules when it comes to making signatures but the one thing that overrides those rules is the fact if its good or not. Let me explain. Making a signature that has tons of open space, but looks good with the open space, it doesn't really matter.
I am not a fan of the smudging in this sig... it just does not look right. The colors are a bit washed out looking. I completely agree with what Diz said as well. Overall, it is ok, but not too much seems to have been done with the stock. Try adding additional effects, that could really help.
It wasn't a stock. It's a render on a background I made myself. And I wanted a washed out/pale color scheme, so I'm not changing that.
i think it looks sharp. Great the way it is. Nice, simplistic and classy. The smudging could be done differently though
I think the smudging ruins it, post one without it. I want to see what it looks like that way, because everything else is really good on this one.
