Each one is progressively better. I don't really like the first one, seems rather boring and dull.

Deadpool doesn't have that problem, only problems are the fact that you have a ridiculous amount of lighting with no legit light source(everything is glowing for whatever reason), lacks depth and doesn't blend well.

The only problem I see in the 3rd one is how the smudge is completely obvious. If it was your intention to make it smokey, duplicate the smudged layer, lower the first layer's fill a bit, and on the duplicated layer, Filter-> Distort-> Ripple(set to 500%) and try setting it to soft light/play with the opacity.

I love the depth in the last one, one of the few sigs I've seen with a properly used c4d. Love it. It bothers me that it has dual lighting, but, its still impressive.

respective ratings:

6/10
6/10
8/10

I indeed love your cnc skillz hyde. Yes, the first one I kinda played around with it ,but my main focus was to emphasize the dead space head in a foggy way.Kinda like thoughts or a dream.
2nd :Awww,I very well understand what you mean.I was trying to keep deadpool's detail in content so I figured instead of mirroring both sides & Using dark tone.I'd
3rd one : Hahah yeah ,I was creating a foggy clouds with out rending the clouds into the pic. I see what you mean and ty for the Tip right there. That's for photoshop cs6 and and illustrator right . Anyways,Heh The last sig is my newer sig I used a good amount of c4d's but kept them in retrospec.Lol about the dual lighting I actually
made everything darker except for the parts that light was needed. Ty for the ratings.

The first one is too bright. Pretty boring overall. The 2nd one could be pretty great with a bit more blending, I may mess around with it a bit. The one with the planet could use a couple well placed effects to get the flow going. The last one needs a slight cropping. Too much dead space (too bad this isn't the Dead Space sig because that would have been an amazing pun) on the sides.

Edit: Yeah, the deadpool one is a lot better with some blending.


Adjustment layers I added:

Violet, orange on linear dodge at 25% opacity.
Black, white on multiply at 10% opacity.
Customized red, white on soft light at 15% opacity.
Default warming photo filter.

Added some darkness around the edges and added a tiny bit to the light source. I also did some slight sharpening and blurring.
