How this look?

I have 2 issues with this signature.
1) Rule-of-Thirds. I understand that she is looking straight but you should move her either more to the left or the right. The human eye enjoys objects that are presented in such a manner.
2) The text. You never want to put text on top of the focal. Doing so not only takes away from the signature but also makes the viewers confused in which way to look. Putting it to either the right or left of it would allow the text to create a sort of "bridge" to the focal. The viewer's eyes would follow the text and then reside on the focal. I hope this makes sense to you. I do like this signature though. With a few tweaks, and a few more effects, this would make a good signature.

something i noticed in your sigs they are cluttered and lacking depth. this is a bad combination because your eyes are all over the place instead of on the focal point which is usually the render. to add depth you can lightly blur parts of your background and sharpen your focal a tad bit if it needs it.

I love these. One thing you might want to try to bringing down the opacity of the text just a little bit on this one.

I absolutely love your progress. Keep up the wonderful work. =)

Has browncoat worked with you on C4Ds yet? I think it's time you start incorporating those into your signatures.

Be sure, if you're going to render your stock images, to render them completely. You left white space in-between her arm and head, and also on the left side where her hand meets her head.

I do like your progress, like I stated earlier, But make sure you have some variety in your signatures and they're not all the same.


I'm a big fan of this article, so if i've already given to it you, please forgive me. But this is very useful to keep in mind when creating all signatures. =)

I have gone through all of your images and I see great improvement. Though I see a continuing problem with the text try using colors from the render and lowering the opacity slightly.
