If you want to help me improve, I'd be glad to take requests.

I like the first one, dissolve is too strong though, leave focal clear.
The other two, not so fond of.

Do you use renders or stocks? I'll give you practice if you really want it, and I'm always willing to help you improve. (My sig thread is in the Other Works forum.)

Look up a smudge tutorial, very nice for backgrounds. I use 5 smudge layers for mine.
Learn to use C4Ds, I use about 1-3 per sig depending on my mood I may use more.

I have been messing around with C4D's, they are quite enjoyable.
Thanks for the suggestions.

C4Ds should always be set to Liner Dodge (Add) to make a nice transparency, then play with opacity. Nice C4D tip lol.

I am also into such graphic development, but I am unaware of the terms you're using.

What is a "C4ds"...?
Just for reference to those of us without such technical knowledge.

Look in Jake's sig above your post.
The blue thing streaking across is a C4D.
It stands for Cinema 4 Dimensions I THINK, not completely sure.
More or less, in a sig it adds a lil spunk to it as well as aids with the natural flow of things.

Many can be found on PlanetRenders and DeviantArt.
Googling C4D Renders on Google Images can provide some very good and high quality C4Ds.

Hmm, that's very useful.
Thank you. ^_^

Perhaps I'll mess with it and post up my own.

In anycase, your work is good Freed, keep it up!

With a passion anyone can make sigs. I look forward to seeing your work.
After you, Freed, Jake, and Caleb improve I'd advice going to EY and learning more.
I participate in EY, it's how I got to the point where I am (My sig thread is in the Other Works section)
Now my sigs are everywhere on VT so it seems. (:
