i post this in the ps hep section but il post here,
needs better colour, lighting, depth etc
try bushing more balck and white to get light and dark spots then add some contrast then colour balance for the colour. pic is overblended and the text placement is bad.
but its not a bad sig for ur first tongue.gif
overall=3/10

From one noob to another, here are my comments... Hope they help...

The image appears to be some basketball player (Tony Parker?), and a logo for the spurs. On top of that you have put some sort of brush, and/or a cloud render. That's about it. The result looks like Tony Parker is in a smoke filled room. Color is almost nil.

Color is very important in a signature. Though monochrome is sometimes acceptable, its preferred that those images be monochrome of a color other than white (which yours is). Topping all that off, you have no boarder, which is almost always a nesscesity.

I would strongly recommend running tutorials over and over again, until they become second nature to you. If you are somewhat familiar with photoshop, then the tuts will just show you some "tricks of the trade", and get you going in the right direction.

You will begin to see what makes a good signature and what makes a bad one. There are many tutorials to try here, as well as elsewhere on the net. Begin with a simple sig tut like this one, and move up from there.

Two styles to learn after running that tutorial I have linked to is smudge style, and c4d style. Both are just different ways of "skinning this cat".

Your first signature shows that you have the ability to do this kind of stuff, but the tutorials will put you in the right ballpark. Hope this helps you out.

Here to show you what doing tutorials will do to your signatures:
