At least mine doesn't fuck up people's minds like yours does! mg:
 
You are still in the beginner stages of graphics, though you do have potential. One thing you should work on is color schemes. The colors you use go well with each other, but they are dull, work on finding colors and color schemes that pop and grab the users attention. If you prefer using the colors you use, find effects that shove it in the users face without making them hate it.
 
Like Xypher said, you are still very basic. I think you should work on backgrounds. Try to make them more than just a solid background or a solid background with a few effects. I think you have some potential though, so with some dedication, you can improve a lot.
 
Woah! Thanks a lot for all the nice comments guys!
I'll really try on improving my skills once I get through with all this school work!
Thanks once again for all the good criticism!
I'll update this gallery once in a while, so stay tuned!
 
For a beginner you show some good potential. The best advise I can provide to you is to find your own style. Other people will make some constructive criticisms and will mean very well, but that doesn't mean you have to listen to it and use it.

Art is perception. Someone could look at your banners and think they're bloody awful, someone else will look at them and absolutely adore them. Take all criticisms (and compliments) with a pinch of salt. Learn the trade, and if you get ideas, go with them. If it pops into your head to create a bright yellow banner with green spots and blue stripes on it; do it. Yeah a lot of people might hate it with a passion, but as long as you put real effort into making it, you will have learned something from it. Never be ashamed of your failures.

Both my comments and the comments made by people above me are all relative. For one (I don't mean to pick on anyone specifically, it's just the one I remember the most) someone said add more into your backgrounds so they're not just plain or plain with an effect on them?

..It completely depends on the effect you're going for. Some of my favourite artwork is minimalistic with plain backgrounds. I, for one, think there's too much going on in some of your banners. But that's just my style, I love minimal and I love simplicity.

Try a bit of everything. But always try new things.
 

Thank you very, very much mate.
This means a lot to me.
Seriously.
 
You should try to use some brushes to compose your background. Or maybe smuding the renders to compose it. But you have potential baby. You know how to fit the colors. The color render goes well with the BG. Sometimes its hard, but you can do that so well!
So please, continue to make more sigs!
 
Updated the thread. One more signature has been added! Thanks for the constructive comments everyone.
 
You got some good graphics in there but I won't be smart here since the signatures I made myself weren't good as well.
 
Gallery updated with a new (requested) signature:


Again, thanks for the comments everyone!
And Onyx, could you please define "blending of the image into the background"?
Thanks!
 

Sounds great bro!
