What up BD, I see you're at it again and sorry to hear about your OS. Get a Mac! Just playing so this is your first sig fresh off the new OS... well first of all, presentation. It's not up to par due to the quality of your render. Even if you balanced it with levels or contrast/brightness features, the quality is not there. This is easily seen when compared to your bg. 2nd, the text on the sword. It's probably just me, but I would use the bevel and emboss feature to engrave the text and give it some metalic look to blend well with the sword. At the moment, the text looks like the sword was tagged on by some anime gangsters. Angled text in the bg is very plain but still doesn't hold a crisp look. Change the text option to crsip or strong and hopefully that will help it out. Bg looks cool and graphical but not really complimenting the render at all. A total revision of this sig should be made. I don't mean to sound like a dick or anything, I'm just looking out for you bro.
