    Terrible weed leaf. The baby is kinda cool but just poof in the front.

    Change the font.. Never use a plain gradient as a background

    I think it's absolutely awful. I don't care if you report me for anything, or if you're a stuck up beginner who thinks they're better than everybody else like some people here, (no names). So, here, I'll start.

    I see you have a topic going on, drugs, and rasta. What I recommend is removing the leaf and the stupid kid, and maybe picking a better placement. There is no absolute focal in that sig. And the text.... EEW. If you don't feel text is needed, or it doesn't look good, don't add any. And it's not even the size of a signature. It would be considered a banner on most sites, as it lags the server on some forums depending on the size.

    I recommend checking out the free resource section of planet renders, and checking out the free tutorials. That looks like it was made in ms paint, bub. And of course, this is constructive criticism, so don't think I'm yelling at you. I'm simply stating ways you could get better.

    -Flow: You have no absolute flow, as it's all bunched in
    -Effects: You have a gradient in the background with two renders pasted on it.
    -Text: Never use cartoony or comic texts. Only use it when it's necessary.
    -Blending: This is one of the biggest problems people have. They overblend, or under blend. You shouldn't distort the colors of your focal, you should simply change it one step at a time. Don't use channel mixer on it, unless it's a light one with the opacity changed.
    Size: Signature sizes make them all the better. I don't recommend something over 500x100, as it seems too big for anything.

    ^ KIABIN is right, keep going though, and work on composition, depth, lighting, theme (the text and the signature itself working well together), depth, flow, etc.

    Try to use other methods of blending too, such as clipping, blurring and smudging.
