I used primarily Ratchets tutorials for the following so thank-you ever so much. I'm not implying these are amazing but still, I've made 30 or so signatures in a 2 week period so feel free to comment, would prefer if constructive though haha.
Please ignore the fonts as I simply slap them on usually to add my name on another forum. These are simple trial and errors as I hope to progress.

Text wise you need work. I think you should read my text tutorial located in my sig.
these have some nice aspects to them, and some not so nice aspects.
The first - Some cool effects and the BG is pretty cool. Good job with that it looks nice. It needs more blending, so try to add some clipping masks over the render or smudge him a bit. Next time try sharpening him a bit, so he stands out a bit more, and blur the BG a bit for some depth.
2nd - This one is okay, however those lines in the background are really unneccsary and distracting. It looks liek you gave blending a good try, however it didn't quite work becaus it doesn't blend with the BG. Nice background using city stocks like that usually give a cool effect. Good job.
The others all have the same problems as the first two, so I'm not rly going to in-depth comment them.
You have some nice blending on the 4th. On the 3rd the render looks a bit warped, make sure to hold shift while resizing your renders. 5th has some nice effects but needs more blending.
Good job overall, keep working with it you will get better.

Thanks for the comment mate, I'll bare those suggestions into consideration and surely put them into any future work I do.
Nice to see a helpful site going and people contributing support, I'll keep this updated anyway and I'll check out tuts etc.
