Alright, this is my first sig that I've done without using a tutorial. I know it's pretty plain, but I wanted to start simple. C&C wanted and needed. Any ideas on how I could spice it up decently?

I'll never get why your topics get skipped over so much, anyway, I'm a bit impressed its a nice simple tag with a cool background. only 3 complaints. 1 the text is too big 2.try to blend the render in some, maybe lightly smudging or letting some effects overlay. 3. you have a render with good defined lighting, use it to your advantage. create lighting/a light source that matches the render. Keep praticing

Always room for improvement.

Awesome! I was thinking I wouldn't get any feedback. Yeah, you got me on the text, I made it bigger because I was trying to fill in space. And like you suggested, I wanted to add some lighting in (because of the quite noticeable lighting on the render,) but I couldn't seem to find anything that clicked. And I don't have any experience with smudging techniques, so that's next on the to-do list for practice! Thanks for your input!
