- Don't keep the background as sharp as the foreground (in this case you totally screwed up, the render is blurry).
- Choose your brushes colors from the render itself to blend it in.
- Don't place random borders, they're so not cool.
- The ripple effect isn't even showing, a part of it should be in front of the render and another behind.
- Use some gradient maps on low opacity and try different blending options.
- Try to let the signature speak, there needs to be a concept behind the signature.
- Add light effects, there are tons of stocks/packs that has nice effects, download some.
- Darken up the edges and brighten the focal point, it gives a better depth and a nice look.
- Don't over saturate it, choose colors that are comfortable for the eyes to enjoy.
- WATCH SOME TUTORIALS.
