Well I just "got" ps yesterday because making sigs seemed to be all the rage and looked pretty fun, so here's my first try, with the help of some informative tuts.
Comments? I know the brush work is really sloppy and I did a bunch of random filters and layer styles to it because all of them looked cool

Hmm not bad i must say

You can tell youre not an experienced PSer but it looks pretty decent for your first try

Twysta, no offence. But if you made your own sig. His > Yours. (Matter of taste of course)

erm.. was that really necessary?

Anyway, aced it for a first try m8, go and make some more.

Its not decent, its more than that.

8/10

Pardon me, he says i can see you're not an experienced photoshopper.. I just wanted to prove him wrong. As I actually think it's great. Especially for a first one.. So yes it was really necessary

That probably took you longer than I have with every photoshop project I have ever done in my entire life up to the next 25 years.

GJ.

w0w nice for a 1st try 8/10.

No shit hes not experienced, its his FIRST sig. <_< gg.

For a first 10/10, stick to it man, you'll me backing alot of great sigs, just stick to it..

Thanks for the replies, here's my second try, so hard to make smudging look good

its a bit over contrasted near the shoulders

The second one can do with some more blending. Also personally I don't like that much gradiented empty space. The guy's pitching hand is a little weird, over sharpened maybe?

+1. some more texture at the edges of the sig would be nice, some light brushing maybe. but as a first attempt you pwned my 1st... 8.5/10.

Very nice for a first try

Third one, urgh this is kinda addicting.

You either follow great tuts, or youve been making sigs before o__O This is great.

i dont like the ext to much, but thats honestly a great sig!

never seen a 3rd being that good, that is amazing dude!
its very simple and its good that way!

it so clean great A+

nicely done

Ell that 24 sig is just superior. Kudos to you.

what tuts you been doing?

shadows = teh awesome. love the brushing on the BG and the lightsource is about perfect.

9/10. <shakes fist at you for being soo good so early>

Here's the tut for the 24 one http://img349.imageshack.us/img349/1512/tut4gz.jpg but when following tuts, it never seems to look as good as the tut unless you have the exact same render so I changed a lot of things in it. Also the lighting was really easy because it was so obvious on the render. They also never tell you how to smudge, so that part took forever editing and reediting it to look good.
Edit:

Light source is just about perfect, but its kinda empty imo

Woah, that one's amazing Ell, could you post the original image for comparison? ^-^
