edit: schlurb, give the guy some credit for his effort. You know how long it takes for someone to master the secrets of Photoshop.
Huh, what do you mean?
I am missing something in the Background, making it a bit smaller will also help. I am just too tired to now. You can always use Google for some Photoshop Tutorials, I have learned the Stuff there. If I wouldnt be that lazy, then I would be much better and not using silly Manga Signatures.
Anyway yeah, keep messing around with Layer Stuff, Filters, edit the Image, adjust Colors. There isnt a "receipt" how to use Photoshop, there isnt a receipt to create your own Stuff. Unless you want to copy other People's Work.

-schlurbi: You don't have to help me with it, altough I appreciate it.
-Felix: Thanks, but without your guys' advices it wouldn't be that good. Thanks for that!:)
I have taken Felix' suggestion and made the Royal liner a bit more blurry. I've applied some photofilters to match the glow with the planets with the sun.
BTW: The .PSD has 18 layers already, but it looks looooooooooots better now.;)Thanks again guys!
Signature violates 1.7, please resize:
1.7 - Pictures that exceed 700px width or signatures that exceed 700*250px*3 MB are not allowed on the forum.

Frazzer: the sig does look great. however, i do think you might as well go all the way and slap a background instead of having that black emptiness there.
deviantart.net has alot of good tutorials teaching you basically anything you want. just search for "nebula tutorials" and you'll get tonnes explaining how to make your own custom nebula. im not saying the entire thing should be colorful, just like a nebula effect around the edges perhaps with a bit of blackness in the center.

Here's a tip - when you're dealing with more than 10 layers it's a good idea to start organising them, create folders and put them into groups as well as naming each layer with meaningful names. There's nothing more annoying than altering the wrong layer and having to undo.
I used 25+ layers in my last sig, see the one with purple background and multicolour splatters (refresh a few times if it's not the right one).
Very nice composition with the Monkey playing Freelancer (assuming that it's mostly from-scratch), but the text is far too overbearing. We know it's a monkey playing Freelancer; there's no need to announce it with massive font sizes.
I have revised my sig... and might again having now seen this... but I think the glass pane helps balanced the over-sized text, what do you think?
PS. The Monkey and the Hardware were in the same shot, but I had to re-tint the monkey as the screen had a very bright green image on it before.
PPS. There are a few more things I can see right off that I would like to tweak, but I dont think I will tonight, and it will give me a chance to get more feedback that may expand my list.
