Aqua: At the moment your clipping mask is all over the place. You can keep it there but I recommend doing a motion blur horizontally to pieces to seem as if they were blown. Also, you'll need to manufacture a light source and use your burn tool on the edges to demonstrate the flow of light. The best placement would be the top right corner. Third, you'll need to do some asthetic finishing techniques. Do a gradient map of black-white, set it at luminosity 100% and then another gradient map of orange-purple (should be a default), set that to soft light and lower the opacity to a point that looks good. Then apply image on top of that and go to Sharpen-> sharpen edges. Then lower the opacity of the layer down and erase any portions of the tag that look ugly. Hope that helps

Chives: Here's what I recommend. Remove the gradient map at once, and then use the blur tool at 50-70% strength and blur out the man in the background to the left of your intended focus. It disrupts the focus and adds no value to the flow. Rather than creating light by c4ds on the bottom, take a soft brush at 300 pixels and put it on the bottom of the sig. Remove the clipping mask of the eye to the right of the focus and the pattern to the right of the women's head. Find a c4d that will add central flow, so that one's eyes are drawn to the central figure. Your final step should be to apply image, and then go to Blur-> guassier blur, set it to about 1.5 and then set the layer you just blurred to overlay. Erase anything that looks bad and lower opacity untill you're satisfied

I like this one alot, it blends smoothly, nice work :D

As for Yoshi and the Shiny Azumarill, you need to blend the focus into the background. The Kamangir style background is very flashy and draws focus away from your intended focus. Like I said you need to blend.

Look at Kamangir's original work:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v441/Blaziken130/animesklol.png

notice how there are black splatters everywhere and he used multiple soft brush colors to simulate colored lighting.

Overall I like the one with the kanji on it alot, but the other two need to be blended a little better. CAREFUL, however, a style as well known as Kamangir's might get you accused of ripping.

WOAH, Disco_stu, You really should run a sig shop. You'd make a fortune in points with awesome sigs like that 8)

@Disco_Stu: Nice Link Image! Nice pentool and such. The Minda sig has hawt effects.

@CHIVES: IMO: Render could be brought out a bit more, and a tad bit dark. Like the C4D's though.
