I'm pretty sure we're not all professionals; we're just amateurs that neglect our own infallibilities. Eli, I suggest if you want people to simply rate, (instead of attacking you) you set up a poll system or ask users to vote on a 1-10 system.

And Minora, I can understand if you're dissatisfied. "I don't like it" Doesn't carry you very far though. If you want everything to be absolute perfection, then be sure to make an extremely detailed request down to the last pixel. For a person who simply crops their signature to make an avatar. You're very detail oriented.

Anyway about the signature:
I'm glad you're experimenting...that's honestly the best way to improve and mature to find styles that work. I suggest playing around with positioning of your render. You seem to always have it dead center. Some of the best selcas I've seen are interesting because the person intentionally cuts off and uses other parts of the photo elsewhere. Also, the brushes look too harsh and just stamped onto the render. I do love the background though. Those different hues of light and dark blend so well together!
I think of the 1-10 thing every time I look at this thread, however if it doesn't have good critique to back it up then it is worthless to me in the long run, and it doesn't help me improve.
If anything I think I should just PM you the signature, you've given fantastic critique towards my stuff.

And the signature itself, The only thing I really have a problem with is that I didn't do some very simple things that would've made the brushes seem more subtle.
