The first one is beautiful, you should make a tutorial. I love it. The second one has some yellow C4D looking thing near the face that looks very awkward, that should go. The last one, I don't like that blue thing underneath the text on the left side, looks weird and out of place. Well done.

Takes more than After Effects and optic flares to make a good design. ;)

The text/shading/depth is bad and the characters do not blend. I cannot help but feel like you're trying to shortcut past necessities of design by using a video editing program to produce some "wow" factors which cover the weaknesses. I hope that's not the case; remember that the devil is in the details, and the details of lighting, blending, depth, coloring, and text will never be passed over by a good designer. No matter how many flares distract him. <3

Overall, good work. Keep it up.

The first sigs orange effect is a preset optical flare with a color change. The second sig is simply a smoke brush placed under a particle world generation. The third sig contains (as I count them) 4 optical flares which are impossible to generate in photoshop, but are presets in AE.

Now, all of the flares/particles I named make and break the design of each of your sigs. My point was simply that you should work on the details (lighting, shading, depth, coloring, blending), rather than trying to hide their lack of existence under pre-generated video effects which distract the untrained eye. There is nothing wrong with using AE to help in sig design, just learn the basics of design in photoshop before throwing another program on the pile. It was my CnC to help you as a designer, as it is hard to improve if you rely on such shortcuts. If you disagree, that is your opinion and you are free to it. You are not, however, free to imply that I have lied when you know that I was quite accurate in describing where your effects came from in my original CnC.<3

I did not check his "devi," as he did not ask for CnC on his deviant portfolio. Did he? He asked for CnC on these 3 "lame" entries. I gave it. Sherlock.
