I personally don't like V2 since I find it to simple, V3 is a good atempt and it's better than V2, the smudge around the render needs work tough. Try to add the smudge withour leaving thos eempty spots around her hair.

What ganbaru means by "heavy" is that the filesize is too big. Rules specify it must meet the forum signature rules which means it must be bellow 50,000 bytes (yours is 85,443 bytes). BTW using it as a signature with text breaks even more rules.

I like it a lot better than previous version, with this new bg, is easier to notice & apreciate the render and the rest of the efects. My only problem now is the text, while the entire sig is very colorfull and has lots of shapes and colors, the text looks to plain. Like if it's there just because it must be there. :/

Either increase the contrast on the left side or make the text more transparent. Your signature has some very nice effects [I like the transparent gradients], but the text is off-balancing everything and pulling all the focus to the top left. Considering your signature is also top-heavy [the characters looking up increase the weight on the top, I think. Or I can't ignore the text], you might also want to try moving it to balance the top and bottom.

@Evil Rick
I'd also point out that I find your sig kinda blurry. Don't get me wrong, I love blurriness in specific doses, but not throughout the entire sig and especially not covering up the renders' faces. Colors are an interesting blend, but they feel a overly saturated right around Marisa and Reimu's hair/eyes. I'm not sure what going on between the pinkish smudge by and onto the left side of your sig. I don't know if its the shapes and textures which seem off, but they oppose each other in my eye. Agreed with Oceanblue on your text. It completely draws my eyes away from the focal point and the name, while yours and completely fine, has a different connotation from the moods I get in the rest of your sig. "Evil" Rick and these two lovely ladies? My, my, my!
