Sig Attempt 2

[tHepHreaK]

well i have tried to follow everything you people hav said and also tried a few more new things.
Well to differ from the previous sigs, i've used a border for a first time. and also i made two versions of the same with slight variations in the render and i used a canvas which is 400x133 which i generally dont do coz 300x100 is te best size i feel. i ended up with these:

Version 1:


Version 2:


and also i gave a small sparkle effect at the top and bottom using a dry media brush. please criticize and rate the sigs (each version seperately :) ).

thats a pretty good improvement compared to your first siggy.
Try and make the borders smoother. I dont like that orange hashes at the top and bottom. And the the bg is totally different on the left and the right. I really dunno what to say about that. Overall 6/10.
Work on the text too.
