Very cool Aristocrat. LAKKY looks like LARRY, but other than that these look awesome.
I have a request as well. I would enjoy making my own signature, but there is no way I'll ever have time, so I'd appreciate if you could make this:
Raw images:

Hex color wheel:
http://www.visibone.com/colorlab/I don't want any of the FF logo text from the image where Cecil has no overlapping text. However, with the image with overlapping text, I'd prefer to have that image placed on the leftmost portion of the signature with the text. I want you to take into account
The Rule of Thirds while creating this signature.
I'd like the image to make use of the blue color of the Cecil character, with white as the standard backround color.
I posted up the color wheel so that you could see which colors compliment which colors. The compliment to the Cecil characters would be something along the lines of:
This Color. You can use compliments for borders of the signature, or highlights to draw the eye to a specific portion of the signature. [Edit] Notice that the orange in one of my render images is used to compliment and break up the monotony of the blue Cecil? They didn't use yellow, probably because the yellow would just get lost in the white, even though yellow would be the true compliment to the blue Cecil. If you do use yellow make sure to not let it get lost in the white, you can do this by using a darker shade of yellow, or by just using some sort of orange instead.
Overall, I'd like a simplistic yet well designed signature, without spamming with brushes wherever the render images aren't.
As for text to place, I'd like it to say CecilSunkure somewhere, and if you could throw in the text "Aspiring Game Programmer" that would be nice as well.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
[Edit] One more thing to note: Horizon lines. You should know what a horizon line is, so I'll not explain that. With horizon lines, don't ever place a horizon line in the middle of the image. Look back to my rule of thirds post, you want your horizon lines, if any, to lay on or around one of the thirds lines.
General composition rules: Don't ever let the border to two major objects in your image touch, always make things overlapp or be spaced apart as to allow the eye to differentiate between the two objects easily. Don't place focul points on all four intersections of the rule of thirds lines. Don't have a ton of lines or objects (example: spears) all pointing straight up and down; make them point generally to a focul point of the picture (usually created with the rule of thirds), and have them intersecting and jutting at slightly different angles. Things that are farther away are more faded due to the Earth's atmosphere, and are
not darker. That's all I can think of off the top of my head, and you don't necessarily need to use of all them in this signature. They are just things to know or think of.
I'll critique this piece's composition really fast:
The horizon of the bright backround to the dark is well placed. However, the dark backround touches the edge of the LOTUS word, and would look much nicer if it stopped short of the word LOTUS, or went all the way through up past the top of the image. The middle of your image is the brightest, and this creates a separation of the left and the right of your image. That's bad. You might as well have two separate images. Instead of what you did, you should have moved your bright spot behind the character's head, as to place focul points of the entire images where the
Rule of Thirds lines intersect. Doing these two things would have made your image much more solid. I have to go right now.

None.
