Verison 2 looks the best; simply because the orange and the green on his shoulders clash something fierce and number two has the least orange...

Thanks, out of 10, what would it be ? :shifty:

Right, so I thought I'd start off with mucking around with gradient mapping, and damn some sexy results came out, started off with simples like:

My fave being:

(Which I edited the white as you can tell :])

And I'm thinking, do I need lighting? I know you guys didn't say that, twas just a suggestion, but this are the normal lighting effects I'd base my sigs on in the past when using lighting, and this is how it turned out:

And this one which the lighting effect I recon I could develop quite nicely:

Now I'm stuck between deciding whether to continue with current one, use the one without lighting, or develop the one with lighting :] what do you coolkids think? Comments much appreciated :]

I like your current one and i dont mind the one with out lighting, i would like to see what you get from the developed lighting one tho.

Very quickly, just to show you what can be done, I threw a simple little color balance layer on top of your original image.
This is just an example.

Must admit, that does look good.. I'll give that a go, though I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna use much lighting affect, due to it being this kind of sig. Thanks a bunch :]

Tbh, I think that one is quite shmexy. Maybe make the bottom right corner not so...totally black. :lol:

I don't do it anymore since I now have PhotoShop :thumbsup:
And here are sigs I just now made:

Version 1:

Version 2:

Version 3:

Version 4:

Background is messy, could be much better. Effects ruin the flow; the background seems to be branching outwards from the center whilte the effects/liquidated render seem to be swaying left. The lighting is terrible; in the last one, there seems to be 2 light sources, one on his collar and one on his hair. Color is also very random and doesn't match well. Maybe some gradient maps or selective coloring? Text isn't too bad, but could be much better. Render could use some more blending. 6/10

Well said, KC.
That's pretty much what I would have said, only in an expanded fashion with more details and examples...
