It's pertty nice for a first, here's a few tips though.
Try to vary your colours. It's all very blue :3
The black line across the middle could be removed completely, along with that weird white one going vertically.
Text is pretty standard, try a new font but I'd leave it out alltogether.
Maybe add a cinematic border (thick(ish) black lines on top and bottom).
For your first I'll give you a 8/10, great effort. |

Looks good.
I dont like the black line. also the text distracts me from the focal. put the text near therender. i will probably put it on the gun. needs a border. maybe a cinematic one. _________________

Thanks ^^
Having read the suggestions opens up a whole load of improvements I wouldn't have though of in a million years, and the (very) generuos rating is encouraging.
I may apply the tips into a newer version of this or in a completely new siggy altogether (I just can't stop making them now... Once you start, you can't finish).
Anyway, thanks a lot. _________________

If you absolutely want to keep the line, should try to make it thinner.
I think the white is kind of extreme white.. I don't know just something about it that bugs me.
It's a little blue, or maybe it's just me
The background seems to be is a bad resolution compared to the render :/
But it looks great, I love the render!
Maybe a 7-8/10.

Because mine is higher than yours? Lol. Your opinion is appreciated, as is everyone elses, because, where knowledge may help you make a siggy, you only need aesthetic appreciation to form a perfectly valid opinion.
Thanks for posting, anyway ^^ _________________

Yeah I like v3, you should try play around with the text in free transformation and try making it more like the text is actually on the gun  _________________

I'm glad you like the last one. That means that, at least, the time and effort spent modifying the original one have been worth it.
Also, I understand what you suggest. However, I'm not too sure how I could do so. I think free transformation can only help you so much in that sense... Maybe someone can advice me on how to do this?
Thanks. _________________

The text looks a little out of place on the gun but I guess that distorting it would make it unreadable, do you think that the top right would work, to balance it out...? _________________

That's what I thought, so I just left it simple and of a relatively similar colour.

It might work, let me play with it and update... _________________

| I would really just leave the text. It doesn't suit the render at all. Original stock and render, please? Quite monotone but you've done better than those who made their ever 1st proper signatures. What's with the sudden dark corner on the bottom right? |
