(You uploaded it as an attachment again. >_> I already re-upped it for you again, but please, use ImageShack or TinyPic.)
I'm gonna start with what I am pleased with.
For one, there's color! Huzzah. It is also off-placed (Elite's color on Chief's side and vice versa). Good.
You also took that color and used it on the text. Doing this will add to the overall feel and theme of the sig. (Well, most of the time.)
I'm also
really glad you took our advice and tried it. Being teachable is one of the easiest ways of improving... at anything.
Great.
What still bugs me is the background. It is different, but it's still really bland. Let me link you to that
22pixels pack, or "Flock", I was talking about. Download that and simply install. (
Instructions.)
This comes with lots of goodies but the ones we're most interested in are the fonts and brushes.
Once downloaded, I would again start over using an abstract brush set. Abstract brushes seem to be the easiest to work with and yield the most aesthetically pleasing results.
I would also mention that using a white background with black brushes is typically the way to begin. However, using white brushes on a black background can look better using certain colors.
Anyways, with that background done, I would then look into what you're using as renders. So far these have been cutouts from (what looks like) relatively low screen shots. Renders are what people look at for the most part, so they need to look sharp. I would suggest looking around for some rendering sites that allow you to use their galleries to browse around. I don't have a particular favorite, so if anyone cares to volunteer what they like, feel free.
I think that's a good next step: fixing the blandness of the background, and getting some better renders.
Let us know what your next installment looks like.
(And use ImageShack/TinyPic! :p )
