It's pretty good considering you only started out a month ago, the flow is nice and the background isn't that bad but it draws too much attention, try darkening it slightly.

The border isn't helping the sig though always try and go for simple borders, especially to start with, try something a 1px or 2px black border just to help round of your image.

Next is the text, simple is always better. Remember that 99% of the time the text only serves to label the signature as yours so you don't want to draw attention away from the render. Try looking at some text tutorials but it can be hard to get right so keep at it.

To blend the render in better I would suggest smudging it. Use the standard chalk brush and then give it a scatter setting from the brushes panel (you can find it in the window drop down menu) then just smudge the edges of the render that arn't important in the direction of your background, his wings, the arm furthest away, etc.

Keep reading tutorials though they are infinitely helpful when starting out. There's a lot of good ones on deviant art.

Keep at it man, any problems or questions just ask.

Try adding some effects on the main part.
