    If you suck at text and you know it then just leave it.
    You can practice on text sometimes by adding text in your sigs but if you think you've failed with the text hen just remove it. A sig without text but with cool effects and such is also nice
    The colors are a bit monotone IMO. There is also no lightning in there. Make a lightning source and use the burn and dodge tool too create some cool lightning. It looks like you have created some flow that's nice

    Keep working at it mate

    Well for one, its call Darkness, and its bright as hell lol.

    But IMO the shadows are too strong with the background as bright as it is. I get what you meant about making the render larger and using it in the background, but it wasn't executed as well as you could have done it.

    The colors are pretty dull, but I like my colors bright and vibrant, so what works for me might not work for you and vice versa.

    The blending isn't bad at all but could be touched up a bit. Maybe grab a soft brush and erase some of the render on the right in bright areas.

    On to the text..

    1. Download some new fonts (www.dafont.com is a good place to start)
    2. Use Anti-Alias. I would set the top text to Strong and the bottom text to Sharp or Crisp
    3. Try adding some effects like setting it to overlay, or making the color lighter and adding a drop shadow for example.
    4. Try to avoid horizontal text unless it really flows with the sig, which isn't often. You could have rotated it and line it up to the dark lines on the right side. Or put it going down his right shoulder. Just some ideas.
    5. Use a font made specifically for small text when you use small text.

    Good luck in your future pieces.
