Speaking as a fellow artist and potential rival, there's room for improvement in the way you make your signatures. They're solid but one can tell straightaway that you're a beginner. Here're some tips from me -
1. Blending- this is actually the hardest to master and not even I can blend perfectly. There's a lot to signatures than pasting someone's face into a background and add text to it. You want to make your focals appear as though part of the original background.
2. Text - I've been following your work and I must say I'm not too fond of the way you do text in general. Don't get me wrong, there're some good examples. But most of the time I find them bland and uninspiring. It's amazing how good simple fonts look with some gradient, glow etc instead of a fancy font which doesn't fit in with the flow of the signature.
3. Flow - this is perhaps an abstract concept to explain. You want to make your signature flow as much as possible. This means following a harmonic colour scheme, working in a single direction and use the correct lighting. A signature without flow is just a mess with random objects.
4. Style - every artist will have his/her own style. Only when you've acquired your unique style your work will stand out from others. Of course this style can change from time to time but an artist's fundamental way to producing graphics never change. For example, schlurbi is really into grid overlays recently, Waratah loves glass and I fancy intense colours. Find your style which distinguishes you from others, it's important that you do this.
I understand that my advice might have been hard to follow. You can PM or preferably Skype me to find out more about what I was talking about. Don't be ashamed to use tutorials and adapt them to what you like. Also remember - practice makes perfect!
One of the best ways of learning blending is to go to a free web template website and downloading lots of PSD files, opening them in Photoshop and seeing the layers seperately, having an idea about HOW that rectangle became a website / graphical interface.

I never did that, and i still learned to use it :)
Just did what Joker told me: "Play with it like it's a new toy!" ;)
Remember, practice make's it perfect, or better atleast :)
Hate will eat you up from the inside, so hurry up and give your heart to a girl before you get eaten up.
:lol: Anom, brother, you know my opinion. On top of that I want to say that you should not listen to them. You suck. Delete all the pic you made. :lol::P

No, he doesn't suck, hes just on a learning curve.

Very Nice;
I must say Collister's is my favourite. I'd concur with Cabulb too regarding text. Some parts just don't quite seem to blend with the rest of the signature. Still, other then that, commendable work. Keep it up.
