My advice is to keep doing typography in your sigs, but when you post a thread; Add a version w/o the typography and with the typography, so ppl can critique both.
You never learn it if you dont practice it imo. There's a few guides on how to add typography in signatures, but basic typography tutorials are worth reading too.

Few tips:
- Dont just slap the text in some corner of your sig. It makes your eyes bounce between the focal and the text and that's not what you want. Try to place the text somewhere it's not distracting. For example in your current sig, i would place the text near his left arm/chest.
- You need to blend the text same way you blend your render/stock and effects. Plan on what you want your sig and text to look like before you start making it.
- Dont use very "artistic" fonts. Stick with simple fonts that suite your sig style.
- Use only upper- or lowercase letters, not both. (KODYB or kodyb)

Keep reading tutorials and practice. :)
