The text really has not that much to do with the image, I know, but I would like CnC on the rest of it please:
render's a bit too small, making the blending not very noticeable. the lighting is too focussed on the top mid left of the image and detracts from the rest, leaving a lot of negative space on the right. colour choice is nice but there's no real colour scheme
You have a real knack for creating great flow and lines in your sigs, man. The focal point is definitely the soldier and the lines make it look as if he's mystical or about to do something mystical or something to do with mysticism . The right-hand side of the sig is a little empty, but I don't think it matters because of the obvious focal point. Not sure about the box-out border you've got going on with it either, but that's my own personal gripe with borders . Blending is great too, but the render size could have been a little bigger so casual viewers could appreciate it a lot more, but I know the size restrictions for this site are a bit tight. And yeh, text needs some tweaking, but you already know that. Other than that, it looks the ****. Keep it up, dude.
^ this. Also, depth isn't the best, and I'm not a big fan of all the smudging you do, but that's just a personal preference thing. It makes it look like a beginner did it.
I see what you mean about the depth... I realized from the start that working with such a small focal wouldn't work very well, but I decided to work with it anyway, just sort of as an experiment to see if it would at all work. I have been looking at some tutorials and stuff lately, and I'm planning on trying some new things out, hopefully get out of the rut my style of working has put me in, only doing one type of signature.
