If you are only going to post popouts, you should re-think posting here tbh.
Regarding cnc - Read tutorials, starting with "Rule of third".

I have some other art I've done that I'll be posting later.

If they're popout, don't post em

Looks very good for your first few signatures. I'm not familiar with that website you use but I encourage you to get Photoshop. Also try looking at your popout signatures with both a white and black background to see how the edges look. As you can see on the upper signature that you posted it has a very sharp white line which could use some work. I look forward to watching you progress.

thanks for the feedback. paint.net is actually an application with layering ect similar to photoshop, obviously doesn't come close, but I work with what I have.

What sort of work would you like to do?

If you want to ultimately make "pop-out" tags, this is not the place for you. If you someday would like to make something like these:

(by xprophet)

(by Sane)

Then stick around, ask questions and don't be an asshole. You might have a hope of someday making something like these.

Stick around if you want to learn to make anime sigs, smudge sigs, or both. If not, look at Deviantart, Tagfreak, etc. for tutorials, PSDs, and other resources.

good god that xpro tag is beautiful
who the hell works on stocks like that

Less than half of what is posted here is anime or smudge, so I don't see where you are coming from.
