To be brutally honest, I think that you need to change your stlying of text altogether. First of all, I find that it takes my attention away from the render, something that you don't want to do. Secondly, on the first signature, the text is actually quite hard to read. In both cases, you might want to make the text smaller and give it around 60% opacity, so that it doesn't draw attention away from the renders. Also, for the first one you probably would want to change the font you used so that it's easier to read. :)

Onto the renders. For the first singature, the renders are perfectly fine, except that besides for Midna the renders are quire blurred, unless that's just my monitor, but I don't think it is. And the middle render has a lot of stuff the is around it which I don't think should be there, and makes it look bad. So you could try and sharpen the renders with any of the filters you have available, and then zoom into the middle render on a white background so that you can see all the little debris stuff and delete it. :)

This may be too harsh, but the renders for the second signature don't really mix in my opinion. I think that you'd need more of a passive Link than an active one, if you get what I mean.

Don't take this criticism to badly, afterall, I'm trying to help you. :) You'll get better with practice though. I'm looking forward to seeing what works you will post in the future. :)

Oh, it's no problem! Like I've said, I've only started making these recently, so I'm not gonna know EVERYTHING about how to properly make them.

And thanks for the advice! I actually really appreciate it!:D

If you want a site that has some pretty decent tutorials, just google Sigtutorials and take a look at the site. :)

Didn't I already answer this one?
Since you've got Photoshop you should definitely take a look at the site that Durion mentioned. They've got great tutorials and will introduce you to a whole new style of signature making than what you're currently doing. You can always mix the two or stick to one in your signatures, though. :)

These are actually pretty good. Aside from what Durion mentioned, there is really nothing that I can find wrong with them. As said, the renders in the Midna one are kind of blurry and that should be fixed. What I suggest is going to a good site like Planet Renders (requires registration to view the full png) and finding a nicely sized render. When you're scaling down renders you can hold the shift button and drag from the corner and it will preserve the quality so they aren't blurry. Planet Renders and other places usually have some big nice quality renders that you can use in just about any size you need to.

You should also experiment with your text. Try adding different blending options to it and placing it differently, using different fonts, etc. Find what looks the best to you and use it! Remember to not use fonts that are too fancy or anything, because they can be hard to read and actually make the signature look worse. Also, as Durion said, you can try drawing more attention to the render and not toward the text. This can be done with different text placement, colors, lowering opacity, or whatever else seems to work for you.

I, too, look forward to seeing your future works.

New signature I recently made. I was experimenting a bit on this one. I also have been doing wallpapers for myself(it seems to be what I like to do at the moment:lol:):

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm also going to request it here: Beeker, I'm currently asking other members to make me a wallpaper or otherwise an oversized banner. I will put those up at my Sige at the page: Other Works. My request to you is this:
Can you make me a Twiligth Princess wallpaper or banner size 500 by 500? I have no demands for pics opr characters. You can add whoever you wanna add and whatever you wanna add. I only ask you to add both Shad and Ilia in it and in a corner write in a small font your username. Small BUT visible so others can see it was made by you.
Can you do this for Vee? *puppy eyes*
