I made this signature for another forum I am on but just out of curiosity I want to her what people think of it. I have been on that site for over 3 years and I could have asked there but the people here seem to be more straight forward and judgmental which is good. That's why I am asking your opinions. I guess I am also trying to improve my own work so if anyone has any advice for improvement please share. :)

Plus, I hate judging my own work or letting friends do it and I know you all don't know me so if I suck you have no problem saying so, lol.

Also, as I hate judging my own work I couldn't tell if this one was better or worse. On this one I blurred the girls edges and thought it may have made everything blend better but want to know what others think.

Don't know what to think about it, tbh. Don't know what to look at, and that girl seems too small to me and kinda blurry.

Kraq is right, you dont know what to look at. First thing i looked at was the drink but probably is the girl the focal.

That's pretty good. First thing you should probably work on is strengthening your focus. There a lot of elements scattered around the canvas so it's pretty hard to see the flow to it.

Flow, focal point, and blending, those are my main 3 criteria

Your signature should have flow, your eyes should look at the sig, and they should be able to flow over it and focus on one point, the focal point.

Also, blending. Your render and your sig should blend together and look like they are meant to be together.

These are the main also the points you should work on, before you make your sig, you should have an idea of what you want ( you don't need to, but it helps :P ) I pick out my render with a basic idea of how i want my sig to flow and what colros i want to use. Your sig isn't bad, but you will find as you keep making new ones, that you can improve your old ones in many ways. Just keep making them m8
