New sig. been a while!

I haven't used PS for a while and just threw random layer, filters, etc. together. I lost everything due to a fried HD so I had to reinstall PS on my new computer. Wish I could find my other ones I posted in here. Anyway, enjoy.

Here's another I made last night. Trying to get back into gfx. C&C both but ratings are overrated.

 

For the first sig: I love the blending with the girls head.

Second sig: Maybe if you add some lighting, it would look more better

 

Nice stuff. I like your blending technique.

 

If you would have emphasized the fact that the first and last names have the same first letter, using a different font, that would have been nice. Also, accentuate the text that is in Japanese by making it bolder, and giving it a nice stroke, with the same color as the border. This saves your border from looking so out of place. Make sure to make your English text the same color as the border, as well.

 

On the second one the font isnt very easy to read, but I like the reflection you added. The first one has some good blending, but why did you use so many filters I can at least see three. But its good. As Vision said you should have had white text or made the border brown.
