I'm really new to signature making so I thought I'd make one and see what I need to work on.
Constructive criticism is what I'm really looking for.
Also, I know that it's very simple but that's the way I like signatures.


Update:

1. There are about 3 focal points [BAD].
2. You smudged his arm but not hand, this makes another focal point.
3. The small c4d there breaks the flow and makes another focal point.
4. No lighting at all.

Listen, don't smudge the inside of the render, you should smudge the outside of it so it makes it look more in tune with the background.
You were trying to make it look like there's smoke covering him, but it is very bad.

Look how in my signature, everything fits. Your eyes are drawn to one place.[His eyes]

I'll definitely try and keep it to 1 focal point from now on.

I didn't smudge the render itself, I smudged a copy and simply placed it over his arm but I see what you mean.

Got any tutorials that will help me with lighting?

Thanks for the advice.

The updated one looks much better but it still looks too smudged. Maybe if you made the 'smoke' thinner so you could faintly see the outline of Ezios arm?

you used a terrible render. never use renders that have no depth and action. such as every single assassin's creed picture out there. they're pretty pictures, but they don't make good sigs.

They can if you develop a good flow.

Smudging on a render doesn't have to be a bad thing right?
look at my sig:

Yeah, but he smudged over all of it, none of the render is left.
