@Roxter
nice man i like these more

[ChocolateWaxx]

Very nice. I prefer v1 over all the others because the lighting isn't too defined. I personally think that too much lighting ruins the details of pictures.

overdone text
render too blurred

Hmm, how can I improve on render?

just looks too blurry for me the text is really distracting from where i think you wanted your focal to be it really has no flow and the effects are novice the colors seem too dull they dont "pop" but they match at least

I wasn't really going for a focal point, and I would say it does have flow as the ripples are all moving in the right direction. But maybe that's just my opinion and I fucked up at another signature. I tried to make the colours pop in the last two versions but I guess I failed. Thanks for the advice though!
Also I feel I should mention this, this signature was made to be dark and depressing. (At least that's what the request was)
P.S.
I would love to know what I did well or OK, not just what I failed @ so I can distribute my skill into the appropriate areas.

The problem is that you're focusing too much time on trying to create a "solid" nice signature,
pretty much neglecting individuality and creativity.
I can tell that you've been studying old school styles of text placement..
A year to two years ago, this type of text gave all taggers a giant erection,
but now..that bullshit doesn't really matter.
What matters now is being creative, and how well your overall execution of a tag is.
Do this, and you will be one step closer to achieving a penis in your ear.

I've been trying and will keep trying, I've been practicing a lot lately hoping to become better. Thanks again for the advice. However, I don't want a dick in my ear.

I like the swirly ripples.
they make it look wet
