I couldn't decide between sig 1 and 2 so I just went with 1 to get a feel of what it would look like resized.

Just a few things to take note of:
I know it is in a massive resolution, I am just a lazy bum and couldn't be bothered to resize it :p, I am also aware that the letters in "F33L" are somewhat scrunched together, I was just too damn lazy to fix it =D.

Criticize and suggest what I can do/undo

the final one looks good i like it, good job F33L :y:

You've got potential, but being too lazy to do stuff isn't gonna help you progress, no offense. If you're actually trying to get good at GFX you should put more effort into it.

I spent like 30 minutes outlining it with paint and am awake only thanks to redbull lol.
I was just fooling around with some tools on a few random editing programs I found on my computer and could use some experience.
I will confess to the crime of being lazy though :p.

Trust me, when it comes to the crime of being lazy I'm a repeat-offender. But you've definitely got some potential, I assume by the way you said "a few random editing programs" you don't use photoshop?

I used GIMP to put the text on, I used paint for the faint outline around Hayley and Nero PhotoSnap Editor, a nice program that I found on my computer that does wonders.

Ignore the ass lickers above, you suck.:carling:
But that's ok, no one starts out as a master artist.

1. Boring, you seem to be lacking resources. Visit some sites and leech some c4d's, fractals, brushes, etc.

2. Generic font, don't get caught in a rut. You've used identical text on consecutive tags, that's a no no.:p

3. Wasted time, when rendering out of a stock, use the pen tool in photoshop. Takes some time to get used to, but really improves the cut.

4. Textual focal, you want the viewer to look at the render and the effects you've added, the text is just there is accent it and tag it as your own.

5. Blending, the render coloring and BG coloring are identical. Hard to identify a focal pattern when that is done.

6. Tutorials, they're your best bet for now. Yes, everyone says this to new guys in the game, but it truly does assist you in sig making. When you have an example to branch your ideas off of, then you're free to do more exciting things.

7. Experimenting, as the oh very wise Irish once told me, "Go play around for a bit." By playing around with new effects, you are able to develop your own style and uniqueness.

I know that was kind of harsh, but you asked for it.
Here's a funny picture to cheer you up:

How kind of you =D, thanks for all that, would you mind linking a helpless noob to a decent site for brushes? I'm gonna stroll through the stickies in resources tomorrow though. I like to tell myself that my second sig was better than the first... no? :p

Better rendering.:y:
For brushes just go to DeviantArt and search accordingly.

I can't really say more than OG just did. he basically gave you enough cnc to last.
However a good site for brushes and other resources is Deviantart.
