That sig is... uh... special, yeah lets say special...
Make the render uh, the normal color? like THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN (see what I did there :3)

Get a new render of w/e you're doing, and make it idk.... less blurry for one... yeah there's my rant, hope you enjoy

The one you made for me is super red.. too red. You might want to try smudging upwards-right so it follows the flow of where he is looking. Also, the color of the signature affects the overall feel of it, so gradients, photo filters, etc. really make a difference (imo).

Nothing I can tell you that would help you. I mean my style is different, I could tell you "go more complex" but then everyone and their mother will yell at me saying that "simple can be good too" (which I agree with, but some people just go "full ******" because of their own insecurities).
But Ill give you basic general stuff:
1. Learn to render, knowing how to render an image from a BG increases the number of things you can work with. Using a site like planetrenders.net to find pre-rendered images can work but limits the amount of things you can work with.
2. Utilize the rule of 3rds. I tend to ignore it/forget to use it, but it can really help your piece look well organized/fluid. If you don't know what that is google it.
3. Experiment A LOT.

Complex meaning
^made by Magnum PI (I think) on fringefx^
Not
"Complex" because you used 20 layers.
There is a difference, people seem to have an affinity for misunderstanding me. Or are too inexperienced to understand what I mean, while 20 layers feels/looks like a lot, some pieces may take over 200 (probably more). (I've never gone above ~60) but I'm still learning.
And NO I'm not saying more layers makes it better or worse.

I remember when Jeffy lost all the "Do you think you can win" competitions I held because he was the least experienced :) Good memories. (What am I saying here? Jeffy, you're sounding like that **** Ramen, who thought he was better than everyone else. Everyone is new at something once, and there's no point shutting them down)
Cuddowls: When applying any sort of colour change over something, try lowering the opacity. There's no need to have a 100% red filter/red fractal/red layer over the top of your entire work. Try setting the opacity to something like 15-20% and see what that does for you.
Alternatively, erase parts of the layer with a low opacity brush that go over the focal point (in your previous example, the person). That way you get your deep and dark red background and your focal isn't stained red too.
Amanda has plenty of GIMP tutorials up, and I'm sure they'll help you out.
If you want to download Photoshop for the free trial, a lot of us other sig makers here have great tutorials you could try out :)
Good luck!
