Thanks. Any tips on blending? I usually just use clipping masks, are there any other techniques?

Duely noted. The foreground needs some work

Composition... not really sure. That's the positioning of render and effects and other parts of the signature, right? I'll read some tutorials. Same goes for depth.

Looks like I've got some work to do Thanks again. I appreciate it.

For blending clipping masks can work a bit but brush colors from the bg onto the render and play with layer mode
Especially lights and shadows, makes it more realistic I think

Yeah I usually take eye drop tool (idk the name, the "i" is shortcut), and just take a bright color for lightning or a dark color for shadows. And some black soft brushes under the arms etc. I use soft light/overlay. I'll try to experiment with more layer modes.

Yep that'll do it
Gmaps and other adjustment layers help too
Don't over do it though

I don't know, the last two seemed like a step back to me.

oh noes. Any reasons why, or is it just a feeling?

Even though the first signature was chaotic, these recent ones are even more with weird effects. I guess it's a feeling as well. I don't know, maybe try some different tuts.

I need more styles. I've had this problem for a while. I try new style, like it and then just use it all the time :/ Like I said, I've got a lot of work to do.

I've done the same. I overused goblet's tut tbh. Anyways, just try out some new tutorials.

C4d is out of Place, the flow crosses.
Its chaotic and looks abit lq.

Take it more simple imo, feels as you are rushing things and misses alot of the important steps
Read tutorial to learn the Tools, and then find your own style (L)
