I like the lighting in the first one though the blending needs to be worked on still.

Render choice isn't the greatest. You should also keep in mind if you have a bad render the signature will automatically look like shit.
There is nothing you'll be able to do to work around a low quality render. (at least from my experience)

Flow is really bad here. I'm sure you can find examples of good flow somewhere on jsp.

Background isn't the greatest but I mean.. I guess it could be worse..

There are a lot of things that need work but I'll just keep it simple for now.
- Flow
- Blending
- Render Choice
try to work on these for now. (well keep them in mind)

Somebody more experienced might be able to help you out better.
I'm probably not the best person for this.

first one is overcontrasted/sharp/saturated

second is better but looks washed out.

you need to pick your focal point carefully and work around it instead of just slapping a random dude in there. it's all over the place.

I don't think your borders or your text is working.

you're kinda getting better, keep working at it friend.

Stay away from black/white for now.
Also stay from text.
Follow tutorials.
Post the tutorials here with the signatures.

you went completely backwards with these last 3.

Reminds me of how i started out. What helped me most was realizing that c4d usage shouldn't be massive.

-Use less parts of the c4d's to create backgrounds, resize, rotate, duplicate, etc. until satisfied (that is if you wanna use c4d backgrounds)
-Keep color schemes relevant as in try to pick nicer looking c4ds with matching colors or appealing colors. Same with the render.
-Less is more in tagging. Adding in small details little by little is definitely a plus in making sigs.
-Highlights focals by adding unique effects or sketching in small details if you can (this is something i believe to be extremely nice, but requires quite a bit of practice and/or talent)
-Follow tutorials until you feel comfortable doing things on your own without becoming stumped or reaching a mental block

Rest is just enjoying it since most of the time, it'll feel a lot better if you're on a roll with fresh ideas.
