In all honesty, I think if you keep practicing you'll progress "naturally," regardless of whether or not you explicitly and consciously focus on altering your style or working on additional styles/elements.
You're going to have a hard time convincing someone who's relatively new to signatures that the signatures they've worked hard on and received positive feedback for in the request forum is something they should avoid.
Moreover, there is no better way to recognize the flaws of one's work (especially for beginners) than to become more knowledgeable, which comes in part from Cnc, but primarily from practice and experience.
Absaloutly practicing is vital to betterment, but if you look at the sigs it is the exact same c4d at the size and not even rotated just moved slightly. It is the same form of smudging with the same brush though slightly different colours in the background, etc.
It is the same thing over and over that is not ever going to lead to being better. You even said this you need to focus on altering SOMETHING, anything, but these sigs are lacking that.
I never said what he was doing is bad for the point he is at, but if you choose to change nothing, and not actually listen to CnC without arguing etc then how shall you improve?
