    I think my only weakness in then sig is text because I didn't know what to do. But the rest I am very happy about. I learned how to improve my background and render effects.[​IMG]My best for sure...don't you think?

    well I havent seen alot of your work. but on this I would of put a better effect on this render, blended it more and darkend the sig up. the render seems weird where you placed it..maybe I would have moved it more towards the middle since the render isnt an action pic. It also looks like he has no left shoulder and the faded rander in the back isnt too nice. but it has some great potential!!!

    Your text always looks weird, be sure to set it on sharp and anti-alias.

    This sig is by far your best, You have HORRIBLE text. You're better off leaving your sigs textless until you can figure out how to add good text.

    when you want to make the text transparent to the BG, simply click the layer of the text and go to blending options>blending type>overlay

    LOL that's not your 8th sig... I know I've seen more then that from you. You are improving though. The render effects and bg don't go well togther but I can tel your just learning pic effects so you'll get better at that in time once you learn more options. I see your starting to use lighting effects which is good but your bg still needs a lot of work. Like almost everything else though that just gets better in time and I can't really give you much advice about the bg.
