I'm no expert, but the woman looks squashed and stretched out. It could just be me though. The smudging looks nice though.
Yeah, couldn't really think of anything to make the lighting better at that time, so I just added a white-black gradient map. :p

The blending by smudging in the left arm of neku is too visible and looks ugly. The first one is too blurry and too messy, it lookalike you chucked c4ds everywhere.

The second one I would recommend erasing instead of smudging, erase with a soft brush to make it blend it.

OR just leave it. The render seems good anyways
How do you make a good background in GIMP?
I Use Gradient Maps (Blending Tool) Add Some Effects, Sometimes C4D's, ETC.
Smudging. It takes some time to get a good outcome though.

Why not discover one yourself? Combining Brushes, Add effects, ETC. There are multiple ways to do a BG.

Smudge is a good start, though
flare3. you have chosen wrong BG with the render. You should change the background of the signature..
I know you learning. I am learning too. Try to look for the tut on youtube..
You Should Look for tut help very well...

You need to work on two things: Quality and Blending. The first Tag is OK, until you made it LQ. Whatever you did, reverse it/ Not do it too much. The smudge on the second ruins the render, don't do it. Use gradient maps to make Blending.

Text effects are still bad. try using Clipping masks. KIU!

Iknow Iknow its the render for the cloud one its a lq render but heres a diff version i think its better [Image: 214ox91.png] and fixed [Image: rvjzux.png]

Another tip, the first ones text isn't so great and in my opinion is too bright and visible. Look for a italic text in the default text or download one and created a clipping mask to blend in. And also since its so blurry and lq try sharpening it and lowering the opacity or add a gradient map to make it less blurry.

Edit: the neku tag seems better without the smudging and nice use of text! The render seems to have a lowered opacity and ruins the purpose of lighting maybe try to add it into 90% opacity minimum.
Nice Very Nice. But little you need to improve. I think you should rotate the Text Straight and then do pulsing on it... Make A Background for me same as your's but having stripes.
I made my first avatar, haha. I was messing around on Pixlr and came up with this; [Image: V2Ry7.jpg] Cnc please? Keep in mind that this is my first time..It says KB88 because KidBoomerang88 is my youtube channel.
A CnC on my other signature? That's the right size right?

Uh, it looks like you just slapped on two images on a background ... :\

Pretty Good For Messing Around With Effects KIU
Clefairy:-If you want to make your signature better you have to use render images...

EDIT:-
CnC?

New effect I learnt [Image: 5IyX5.jpg]
The Neku render is too stretched out ...

Red background doesn't fly either.
