Is your focal the words or the guy? Because the words stand out a bit and that's what's attracting my eyes. Or is the sword? Or Do you want us to look at the word "dreamer" and follow the the white squares over to the guy, up to his arm and then down the sword blade?
Knight Boy, you really need to get used to making signatures again. :/ Signature is out of proportions, few to no flow. However, the second one does have depth.
I think that the text really distracts from the focal. I do like the B & W version better. I'd say get rid of the smudge on the bottom of him. Otherwise it's a good signature.
i knowzz.... i've been away from my home for about 4 weeks? so it feels like I am starting over again lol
