Urgh. That Aang render. It doesn't look good as an image. Perhaps a better render of Aang that matches the image you're trying to capture.
I qctually think its fan art Uncertain
That 'UP' signature would be really good if it was in color

I suck at them.Help is always needed.Perhaps you can help me?
You could smudge or use a stock(stocks of places)
@Whatezzer: Here are my fave smudge brush settings. They don't create flow, but looks better and isn't monotonous.

I think the light source is really cool actually. Things do not always have to look natural, you are making graphics ...

Of course, the signature picture would be a lot better if it were several pixels 'skinnier', but it is not bad at all. Furthermore, I am not certain that you can claim that in all cases you should never place an image in the middle ...
well it is to change stuff a bit because we have a natural instinct to place it in the middle(correct me if im wrong)

Eh , Xyo your correct and wrong at the same time Speechless. Of course , we humans have a natural instinct to place an object in the center and it seems very boring but in Whatzzer's tag , the centered focal leads it to a better composition and if he hadn't put it in the center then the composition would have been worser.

So Kai-V and Whatzzer are right.

I do not like this kind of smudge at all , it has got no flow and tbh , that's a beginner style smudge Speechless. Try to create some depth within a smudge , I know depth is the hardest in smudge tags but try. Try following Pochy's tutorials , he has great smudge tuts.
Good luck Smile !
Man, I knew those words will come out of someone...

Oh, new Signature. CnC's?(It's My current sig)

OH ok thanks for that WM
Oh, I forgot to ask for CnC's on my current sig.
No tutorial this time Tongue_out
I just went as I went Grin
Can anybody give me a clear tutorial of doing a deep bg in GIMP
I mostly use Photoshop CS4 and test stuff on pixlr.com
Eh .. it looks too simple and use a better font next time.

What do you think of my latest creation?

The blue effect is kinda LQ, and I see a hard edge of it - fix that.
The text is bad - the placement, and it's not blending.
Centered focal here isn't working.

Not a bad BG, you could add more depth to it though, KIU.

A good sig, however a bit "bad":

first of, the lighting is a mess. There is no concentrated part where light hit it. The text takes away the focal, and The effects arent buying
