Some advice for this particular signature. The lighting does not really look like it is coming from the cloud. try working on that. Also add a light source for more effect. Put a lens flare on where the lightning penetrates through the cloud. I like the glow you put on the text because it works will with the lightening.

Try adding a gradient map to bring it all together and to finish, add a boarder Smile

Need any help PM me. You are doing a great job.


Cool, thanks for the advice. I'll try to improve it and also what's a lens flare?

That's more like it. The lens flare definately adds to the effect. Well done. Now just a slight gradient map effect and a boarder to finish it off. Claps

OK, there it is with the border and gradient map. I wasn't sure on the gradient map, so I used the one that I thought looked best.
