Personally, I'd add a border. I like what you did, especially with the enlarged version of the awe-inspiring crowbar in the background. But please go easy on using the same render over and over again. 1 detailed and one repeated, should be plenty. You have a good background going. You should show it. Goes perfect with the color palette you have going.

The freed up space could be used to emphasize your name, because I could barely make it out of the background.

Again, these are just personal hints.

I usually have a hard time finding the point where I should stop messing about with a sig, because it's complete.
I'd say that you're right about on that spot.

I like the colors, I like the brushes and the translucent effect it has on the background. Maybe make the fade of focal point of the sig (your face, I assume?) a little less?

Other than that, I notice a standard windows font, but it fits right in. Otherwise, dafont has plenty free fonts to use.

My best guess is the differene between uploading and hosting an image here, or hosting and using an image elsewhere.

When uploading an image here, one is required to place it on the server. Once uploaded, the image seems to have been converted into a .GIF image. .GIF's are lossless, but still compressed and limited to a spectrum of 256 colors. Then there's the factor of how the image is converted to .GIF, which might lead to quality loss, depending on how the original image is stored.

On the other hand, I've created and uploaded a new sig without any quality loss.
