I actually spent some time on this current tag of mine.
P.S - Thanks Humper for the link, it helped a lot.
I got a comment that it looks like there is a huge fire in the background, caused by Cloud.

I made it look more reddish by putting a coloured gradient overlaying it, to add that fiery heat effect.
Could you tell me if the lighting is good, or the blending, text, etc. I need suggestions please. Also is this good for my first "real" tag because back then I did not know anything because I did not know anything before Humper linked me too GuildInn forums.
Humper I forgot to +rep. Tomorrow for sure.

I made a new avatar, hoping it would form into a bandwagon.

Would be awesome if we had some sort of SOTW here. I'll offer some help though, Cloud-Strife... kill the border, it looks amateurish. The focal looks LQ, try getting renders from planetrenders. Lighting is a little overpowering. Try a Radial gradient with white as FG, and lower opacity to 50-75. Better text, I see you don't cram it in the corner, that's good. Always keep it somewhat near the focal. Size your text down, and do text effects.
Like use a clipping mask beside it, maybe some sub-text. I am wondering though, do you use Photoshop? Also Cloud-Strife in an upcoming sig, try more FG effects. Maybe add a nebula stock in on screen. Maybe smudging, and to blend try to get some effects over the render. So it doesn't look like it's pasted on. I would recommend reading more tutorials until you get better. If you need anymore help just PM me and I could show you some great tutorial's.
Also @Hack-Imz, cool to see you're starting to make your own sig's . I would recommend anyone struggling with making sig's and such, to join a Graphics forum. Post the sig's you make and get some Critique, use their critique and you will improve in no time.

Started making sigs about a month ago actually, lol. :3 The text is my favorite, but it still doesn't look like it's been engraved on Cassandra's sword.

Mhm...Some good advice there. The constructive criticism you gave there was for the fiery one right? I still do not know what a clipping mask is, nor a nebula stock. Yea, I use PS CS4.

It was toward both sig's. Also I don't know how clipping mask's work in PS but I'll say how I do it in Gimp. Go to Deviantart or whatever and download a splatter brush and install it. When you have a sig you're making and want to add a clipping mask, make a new layer and brush on one or two splatters into a position you like. Hide the splatters and do a edit>copy-visible but don't paste it as a new layer. Instead re-show the splatter layer, right click the layer and click Alpha-To-Selection. Then go Edit>Paste into and move it around until it looks good, and anchor it, (CTRL+H for me). A nebula is basically like stars, Google search nebula in images and you will see what I mean, it adds a good effect.
Paste the nebula in and set the layer mode to screen/lighten only. (Not sure if PS has the same name for them) and erase what look's bad. I would recommend for text to make it smaller, closer to the focal and use simple fonts. Like Arial and stuff until you get better with it, don't get all fancy unless you know what you're doing. Keep reading tutorials and such. A basic way to make a font look nice is to type it out. Then duplicate it twice. On the first run a Gaussian blur by 20 and second by 30, and if you want you can make a third duplicate and Gaussian blur it by 5. Keep on practicing and like I said before, get render's from Planetrenders. The one's you're using seem really Low Quality.
