Looking for comments 2

After taking into consideration comments left on my previous thread, here's my latest and most recent signatures. As usual, I am looking for critiques and comments.

On the first signature, your text is placed pretty bad. Some parts kind of blend in with the image you've based it on, other than that I like them all. You sure like your bright colours, don't you.

Add some depth to your signature, and work with the dodge/burn tool to reduce/increase lighting at some parts.
There are alot of bright colors here, and it over powers the whole canvas.
For the background don't spam a bunch of brushes, try to make some with C4D effects, with smudging or find stock images online.
Also take a look @ this,

@Merch : The text was originally intended to blend with the background but I noticed it wouldn't be very read-able so I made the text stand out more, and yes I do like bright colours.

@iamgurb : Thanks for the tutorial link, will definitely try the method out though I've been doing something similar to that except that the bright colours and brushes over the render image itself making such effects not obvious. I don't really like it when the render image stands out so I try to cover it with the brush effects, so the "overpowered canvas" effect was kind of deliberate. Lastly as for the background, a lot of brush effect was done because I couldn't think of a suitable stock that would blend in well with the image since most of those I found were very "solid".
