i suck at text ^^
any criticism is appreciated as well as tips

Wow, I can tell you're an old school sig type of guy. Even your join date, oh wow :o.

lol.. Nice join date.. haha! :) At lease mine appears that I just wasn't active.. :p

*Banner is all blurry to me.. Think the background images shouldn't have been so blurred. Second sig, I guess it's the style, but I'm not diggin' the over-sharpness.. That last one looks pretty cool except for the text which you say you suck at anyway.. The only thing with the third one is that the fiery thingy fades too far into the render.. That's the only thing I see that sticks out.. Well, that and the border needs to go too.. ;)

ah, ty, yeah im hopin i can find a nice tut on text etc, because all i can do now is just kinda add renders and filters etc, not really good with brushes :/
