Hey, this is my third signature I have made.

Tips on how I can improve would be helpful. Oh, and if you could recommend any tutorials I should watch that would be great.

It's a bit too plain on the left side. Plus try to make the text stand out a bit more.

It's too plain, add more colors, more abstract' make the text and render brighter as well, and the render needs to stand out a lot more so sharpen it.

Well I you can do this:
- Make the signatures dimension : 450 x  262
- Always use high quality renders!
- You need to add way more details than that, you need to add background, c4ds, overlays, lens flares etc.
- Make the text bigger and add some gradients or stroke to it

Overall I would say that you need to practice more, look in deviantart or in youtube for tutorials, but I guess for first try is not that bad.

Bigger Dimension.
Effects.
Fractals.
Render needs to be closer to center.
Balance colors more, there is too much of red and very little of brown.

man something i think uve experimented a bit with here is smudging, i can see it slightly on gaara,
what u need to do is find a stock and some c4d that u think find a render,
make sure theyre all high quality and think about what may look nice with the c4d ur using.
After uve done that, have a look down ur tools and get to know all of them a little bit better, figure out how they work (u dont have to do all but there are some good tools like smudging, blurs, sharpen and blur, dodge and burn for lighting aswell, laeyer effects, opacity, gradiant maps...etc)


Now i would suggest for you to look up Shenron's guide to signature making - photoshop
he makes a really good visual guide for newbies

Basically there are some main things that gfxers pay attention to

- Depth
- Lighting
- Quality
- composition
- Colour balance
- Blend
- Flow

If you keep these things in mind when working you'll be fine :)

Goodluck!
