Pika made a signature.

  My first one with the badass looking Pikachu was pretty bad in my opinion, mainly because I realized I sucked at creating a background. So then I made another attempt at a signature using one of my many renders of Red (Because 4chan's Red Fanbase posts amazing pictures of Red that's not actually porn) :

  I didn't do too much for the background (Just used a Gradient and Smudged the hell out of it), but would you say it's an improvement from my first sig or not? o3o;
  
  I also would like some tips in making signatures. Only reason I made this signature was because I was bored, very tired, and REALLY wanted to go to bed, but my computer wasn't done defragmenting.
  
  Edit : Ah crap. Wrong section.

  I'm no pro or expert or anything but this is what I'd have to say.
  
  -It's much too dark and there is too much black in the right.
  -Text is somewhat difficult to see and might want a different font.
  -Personal Opinion: Render is too small and too far to the left.
  -Effects could maybe use some work, there are all sorts of ways to do them.
  -Border plix.
  
  Anyways.
  
  A common way to make a background would be to get a brush specifically made for smudging. There are some decent ones in the basic default set your given if you change the Brush Options a bit. Basically just create a smudged back ground for using copies of your original render image.
  
  Can't say this is the best example but the first few steps of this tutorial shows a decent way to make a background using the render and smudging it.
