It's a bit busy, but otherwise I love it.
Also, the ellipsis in the text is completely opposite of the feel. I get an active feel from the imagery, and the ellipsis is just too... thoughtful.

I hate it.
You can hardly see the dude or the text. The bg is pretty sweet but I don't dig your outline thing. If the background was brighter the outline would probably look pretty pimp.
You have talent but sorry, bro. I just don't like that one.

EDIT: So Retane is the Grim Reaper. And that screws with the sig. So....In comes Anubis.
Tada.

Don't like that one. The text seems too separate from the background, and once again, the background is too busy. Also, Anubis doesn't work as well as the Reaper does. And I don't give a crap if Retane's the reaper... he's not the actual Grim Reaper, so it's perfectly alright if you make up your own. Also, for your style, I wouldn't suggest much text, and I would suggest just slapping it on there in a basic pallette color and overlaying it. Would look a lot better.
Oh, and the word unleashed is completely and utterly lame in sigs. I used it once and from then on I hated it. It only works if it's done right. Once again, love the first sig, don't like these two as much.

I'm not a huge fan of making characters transparent. I used to, and now I don't, cuz the point of a sig is to see the character.
My advice, make the character non-transparent, move Vad and The Death of Toma to the bottom right corner, like this
Vad
The Death of Toma
Make the text white with a stroke, and make the stroke as dark as possible, either black, or very dark green if you want green. If you want to do something fancy to the text go into overlay, select like, a medium green, overlay style. Make the text fill transparent, and it will make the text look different. You should do a shadow, it helps to make it show up more.
The anubis thing could be removed...or maybe put it next to the character behind and just under. As it is it just doesn't flow at all.

Thanks for the input.
I like it. It's the best recreation of the image in my mind, I could do. And It's badass for my need.
Quote from 17 on my first post for Vad:
A17 (4:45:00 PM): Kinda nihilistic, but still leaving room to swing around.
Exactly what I was aiming for by the way. I would ask for someone to make a signature for me. But I don't want to monopolize anyone's already busy schedule.
Thanks again for the comments everyone!
