wheres the vector part o.o

It looks alright, still pretty basic techniques though.
I suggest looking up some tutorials bud and working on your style of things, you need to fill the canvas a bit more and put more focus on the render. Try starting out thinking 'the more layers the better' - obviously this isn't always the case but its probably the best way for you to learn the routes of the program by experimenting what you put on those layers.

Good luck!

Hey mate, highly suggested you read/watch tutorials, there are lots of great ones in this forum. :)

Keep it up...you need to work lots on blending and etc... :D

Start slow, don't rush, read and understand what things mean and how they work. Most of us made those mistakes when we first started out and like to deny that we did, hell, most including myself still get certain parts and things down wrong.

Here are some tips and steps if you would like some:

1. Learn what a signature is.
2. Google or stroll around the showcase area and see what those signatures look like.
3. Pick a style that suits your tastes.
4. Learn the basics of signature making and apply that to the tutorial of the signature style that you like.
5. Keep practicing until you get used to the style and making signatures and once you are comfortable enough making signatures you'll begin exploring other styles or get really good at your current one.
6. Ignore the silly comments that people will post unless it's constructive criticism.
7. Remember that GFX is a hobby and not a career, try to never get upset at peoples comments, this is the internet and people will be dicks to you no matter where you go.
8. Never try to fit in because people will label you as annoying or fake, be yourself and the correct people for you will gravitate towards you.

and last but not least; Never try to steal a signature that someone else made and put your name on it or edit it.
