You pretty much just took a sprite and a background you liked and stuck them together, maybe cut out or faded the sprite a bit, added some glow and a brush or two, and stuck on some text.

Even if they weren't simple as shit to make, none of it is really yours. Unless you pixel'd the sprites, designed the brushes and created the text. It's sort of like taking a bunch of articles about a subject and sticking them together and then calling it your essay, y’know? I mean sure, it’s less extreme than that (after all, you had to put it all together), but still.

Anyway. Besides that, you have to work on your typography. Your text placement looks bad, and your font choices are terrible. Also, try making your color schemes more interesting. Besides the Santa one, they’re all basically different shades of the same color.

Thanks for your comment, but it's more then taking a sprite and a backgorund and put them together. I used lot's of C4Ds, smudging, adjustment layers, pentooling and a lot more.

And I know "none of it is mine," but that's basically with all sigs. You see it like all I did was copy paste, but I actually edited what I copied and made it into one piece.

But I have to agree. Text and colours is what I'm bad at. My sigs are overall very monotome. But I like to keep my text simple to not let it distract too much from the focal. Thanks for the tips though.
