@cosbornballboy

ok so I'm giving this a 2/5. Let me explain, and if you have issues with the ruling, let me know.

I like that the colors are uniform, it's red and black. I like that there's even some depth, but unfortunetly there's a few issues.

Render - So this is a blurry render, I dont know if you are using GIMP or Photoshop but there should be a filter to sharpen the layer in GIMP and if it's photoshop the sharpen filter only sharpens the layer.

The text is there, it's present, but it doesn't really blend and seems like it was added on in the end.

I like the background, but let's see if we can do more with it. One thing I love to do is take a soft brush (fuzzy edge if GIMP), make a new layer, add a color of red and change the layer type from normal to something like Screen or Dodge. It's a cool tip that will definitely bump this sig to the next level.

Definitely happy with the grade, and I will definitely take some of the tips into account when using photoshop to make my next sig (I made this one in Google Drawing lmao), when I use photoshop I can do things like this:

And in that one some of your tips would definitely make a difference, thanks!

There's a lot I love with this second, obviously the cutting is meh, but I'd be remiss to point out, that render cutting is not my strength either.

One thing I'd try to do, is depth, a great and easy way to do that is get comd C4Ds and put them in front and behind the render. What are C4Ds you may ask, well let me tell you, I'm old school, I have my render sites - these are C4Ds - https://www.deviantart.com/nrzh/art/c4d-Pack-69293342 - is a solid pack
