Hulk attempt

Yet another attempt @ making a sig.

Originally Had Text, removed it.

Render Used.

Only used c4d, fractals and the above image.

Outcome:

You're getting better.

One thing I will say though is that the render needs to be part of the signature. Rather than your signature look like two images, make it one. It's hard to explain how to do that so I will leave that up to you to figure out.

the effect c4d is too high contrasted, i would recommend screen or linear dodge for c4ds
it really lacks a real pop and wow factor
the whole render as the bg thing doesnt work that well, i would recomend moving into stocks for bg
other than that read up on some more tuts
i recommend sigtutorial.com (where i learnt my basics)

The improvement between one sig to another is incredible
First off the lighting is what I find to be the main thing you need to work on it doesn't seem natural the render is illuminated from the left yet you show no light source in the sig that does that
Your main light source is on the right so you should burn the left and dodge the right of the render so that Its actually affected by it also brighten up the area around the light because last time I checked light radiates and so it should be bright around that light overall I like the effects done with the fractals one other thing thats bothering me is the orange glow in the middle at the bottom I just don't think it really fits the overall green color scheme even though the fractals are the same color its still too much orange in that area

That and the flow seems off the effects don't have that feeling that they're layered over the render just a bunch of things. It's hard to explain.

Thanks again everyone, always very helpful

I take what everyone tells me here and apply them as quick and effectively as possible, I have also noticed other pieces here and took those pieces as inspiration (towards design & learning from them)

@Ryguy , I know what you mean, More as if the effect of the image had no forethought and the fractals, c4d's and hulks arms as a background seem to "flat" (for lack of a better term"

@Scrcrw , Didn't I tell you I am stubborn and have issues with Tuts? I rather learn from experience and criticism then from a tut, following a tut to learn (to me) takes to long, and at the end of each tut I follow, it's still the result of a tutorial, not the result of work and devotion (IMO). Yes, I know it would help, but I am humbled in a attempt to create something acceptable , without a tutorial.
