The stock was way different. I mainly did colors; blurring; text and some layer types. I don't know what else I could have done. That's why I'm bad at stocks.
You need to learn to pick better stocks. This one just kind of sucks. Also, experiment with C4Ds, brushes, and other effects.
Well, uh, I'm quite the beginner myself, lol. Go to DeviantArt and download some brushes and get C4Ds from PlanetRenders and experiment them with your sigs.
I just made a sig called "Drift" yesterday.. hmm. ok Well. It really doesn't look like you did anything.
