Honest Advice on my Work

Hey guys, I'd like some advice on the work I've done, well the two things in my signature. I put them together in about 10 min total so I think they turned out good for the time put into them.
Thanks!


Haha, it looks weird having the two pictures in the thread and then my sig under it.

 

Its... well... Very basic. Not much to judge.

 

Did you create both from scratch or did you use the backgrounds and just add text? The first one had potential as the background is nice but the text just looks ridiculous. The second one just looks like a cropped picture with the background set to invisible and text on it. Once again, the text looks ridiculous. I would work on making the images more... complete. Have a flow to the work.

 

On this note, two images that have nothing what-so-ever to do with each other doesn't make for a good image. Try for realism, add depth and flow to the sig, and yes... The text is awful, there is too much clutter with it. Read some tutorials and try again.

 

The first was all by scratch, and yeah the text was too rediculous but by the time I got to there I was all out of ideas. xD The second one was just more or less seeing how well the renders I found looked.

 

Text is hard to read in both, especially the blue one. Clearer and simpler font types often have more effect on a viewer than the fancier ones. Work on effects and colour combinations that will give your work some more spark. Keep at it

 

The background of the first one is just a brush, I know because I have it. So basically it shouldn't have been that hard to make, and with the text it just doesn't look right.
