2 of my recent signatures. I haven't touched Photoshop until recently (I think last week) and I made these 2 yesterday. I looked at 2 signatures for inspiration and I tried replicating them (failed.. but whatever).

I should really be following tutorials.

Definitely not an amateur....

I guess I've placed myself too low, heh? My friends say that I'm too modest.

Work on your blurring and general depth, there's also an archer in the second one's bottom right hand corner.

looks good although a lot of things can be worked on , the first signature is way too empty and the blank spaces could be slightly filled up, the second sig is good but i cant quite make out the render, the depth is decent, the render on the second looks a tad too sharp but kiu!

Thanks. Other than depth, is there anything else I need to work on?

edit: ninja'd.

Thanks for the critique guys~
