Well I'm going to start major to minor. First up, the text. Blatant white when your entire signature has a dark feeling, not to say it is on the edge, no opacity or any blending features to meld it into the signature, and to make it worse it's underlined to make it stand out more. Mistakes do not want to stand out, if you are balancing the red blood on the skull then smudge and blur the line for a blood feel, to just underline it makes a text mistake worse because it draws attention to it. Second, the skull. The gray border does make it fit into the signature well, however the eye holes and mouth hole is black, pitch black. I don't think this fits well with the fire theme in the middle of the signature and think you can do something inside the skull, even if it is not an ember, maybe more of the grey effect but darker since you want the darkness feel. Next, the fire in the middle is supposed to contrast with the darkness on both sides, right now it looks like a cigarette butt that is going out. Bring it to life! Add white, orange, brighten it, pin lights, color dodge, whatever it takes, you want the centerpiece to capture the attention of the viewer, not have someone take three minutes looking at the wimpy light thinking, oh... I guess that's supposed to be bright. Don't make the viewer work imagining the explosion to be bright, make it bright and dazzle it. Lastly, the minor things. The orange blotch by the right of the skull, it's just, there. You chose a black border for a primarily black signature, you may want to consider red or orange, or a gradient from black to red to orange, but borders really never bothered me.
