its not bad...but it needs more work then just making an effect on a background and a text in a corner...
with designing you have to put on screen what you feel
and on that sig you made(the last one) tells me that you feel kinda empty at that moment? i dont know....

its just missing something to let it pop out of you know what i mean...
i'm not saying its bad....its good for your skill level since you just started...i was worse at PS when i started so its good
just keep learning and you'll be allright

If you wanna know what is cool, ask a black guy

All I see are some brushes, one pure unchanged stock and that's pretty much it. Read more about lightning and about gradient maps. Adding those will make your works 100% better.

btw i used gradient tool or is it differenct compared to gradient maps?

Btw about the 2 car renders

nice, the first one doesn't have any signs of cutting, in comparison to second : p but nevermind, good that you do it yourself
gradient map is a tool that's used in sig-making for producing more fitting colours in the whole thing. I haven't seen a tut that didnt use that feature

click the icon marked with this red arrow of mine and select Gradient Map, then click on the gradient itself to open up the Gradient Editor window and choose one gradient, like I did here. then click ok, ok and you'll see a new layer with the gradient. set the layers blending mode to whatever you like and lower down its opacity. I like hue/color modes that give a nice tint, but just play around with all options and choose what you like best

lol you added gradient maps to the only sig that had correct colours, try other ones.
this one doesn't really need lightning, but i'd suggest it for #1 (the first car)

add a 130px white soft brush on the top left near the car, slightly on it, just like it was real light. If you don't know where to place your light sources, try looking at the render, you can see where the light came from when the picture was done

here's my version with source light, 2 gradient maps and Lightning Effects from Filter->Render (which I can explain if u want)

the sigs you made arent bad...for your level...but they can be much better with just some more work on them..
like the cars...its not such a big deal if you redered them yourself or not..i can do it in a minute for ya...but do something else with the object
that you render...make it yours and not let it be plain the way you rendered it...give it some tints with hue/saturation or with brushes or whatever..
be more creative dont be affraid to put tings on it...you can always delete them if they are on a new layer so its np..
dont be affraid to change things...its all just too regular...and the font at "Rick" SUX! download more or just keep fonts or just keep the text out for now and focus on the sigs making....

what about this 1? i been busy with it for a long time lol

[malydok]

this one is actually pretty good but what I forgot to point out was that you don't make any borders, do that next time

[Sohi]

what about these?
i even did a border but dunno if to keep the black line or do it on overlay



this border is good right?



dunno about this 1

Black borders are the best imo.

Borders like the second one kind of suck tbh.
