It's basic I know. I probably could have added some sort of fractal and maybe used a better font. Not sure about the border either. That double effect was actually an accident. Not sure how I even did it. Turned out ok in the end I suppose. But that's all it is. OK. ^_^

Its not bad for a third attempt, some advice I'm ot that great of a GFXer but whatev. The text is too plain imo, play around with some fonts and see what suits you. Also I'm guessing the focal point is the dude, so blend the background a bit better, that light in the back is too eye drawing. But overall its not bad, I like the border you did.

Well I disagree with most of what you said. I think he blends very well with the background. The light fills up space near the middle of the image which might otherwise be wasted. I don't know about the border. It's a little brighter than I planned.

Well the border is a bit much, it takes away from the sig. And the render doesnt seem like it belongs in the sig, it looks far away from the effects in the back.

Its not bad though, better than my stuff when I started, by a lot.

He's meant to look far away. The idea was the he was heading in that direction. :p The border was an accident and I didn't think to click undo. It was the last edition to the picture and I'm gonna be frank here, couldn't be bothered to change it. As easy as that would have been to do.

Okay I gotcha, I'm just used to having my render mixed in with the effects and what not.

Ah, I like mine to be telling a story rather than just a hodge podge of effects. That's why I chose not to add stuff like swirling globes and a mish mash of unconnected images.

This is much better than your last graphic that you made. I can tell you are looking at the tutorials and learning some new ideas. I like how Cloud seems like he in a FF7 environment. Simple=good for the most part so you don't need to add all effects to you signature to make it look nice. You should keep doing that until you find something you truly like to do. I like the concept of the signature, but I have to agree with Ssj4 on how that border is too much. The sig would have looked much better without it or just a simple black border would do fine.

The text you shouldn't worry about right now, but I have to agree with Fire that it distracts away from cloud. Something smaller would have done wonders to it and a different color.

Also, people aren't trying to dislike your signature. They are just trying to help you get better. Explaining what you did is good and we understand your ideas, but taking critiques is the only way you'll get better.
