Not my best work but here they are: They both need more blending so dont point that out. Which one do you think it better?

neither sorry but the colors are not matching with either renders, the text is subpar and the halo around the render in the first one doesn't fit it

1st sig:

• I don't like the stroke on the render and the font.
• Borders always spice up sigs
• Why is the text cut off like that?
• The background doesn't go with the render. Try darkening it a bit.
• 6/10

2nd sig:

• Nice grungy background. Needs to be darker in my opinion
• Border's a must
• When using pixel fonts, turn off anti-aliasing
• 6.8/10

Edit: Fixed my Bbcode. Why? Because I have the power.

It's just a mix of things. The backgrounds don't work, the text in the top on is not the right style...and I think you made up your own definition for grunge in this signature. It would help if we could read the text.

Hm...new guy huh? Don't worry about the tough criticism. You'll get used to it.

Anyway, here's my input.

#1 --
- No border.
- The bg has too much brushing in some parts.
- Repeated brushes, if I'm not mistaken.
- The bg color doesn't mix with the render's.
- The render isn't blended.
- The text is cut off.
- The text is bevelled, I think, which doesn't look right. The stroke could be smaller too.
- The render also looks bevelled, which is a no-no.
- I think the render might also have an outer glow or stroke, which can go.

#2 --
- Nice try with the halo font, but it looks pixellated, and the stroke could go or have lowered opacity.
- The pixel text just doesn't fit.
- Also needs a border.
- Colors don't match here either.
- Render should be blended too. And bigger.

Alright, so, sorry if I sound like a *BLEEP*. Just trying to help out a fellow designer...you've already got some skill, apparently, so just work on it.

And stick around. We always like more designers.
