Use

Code:
[img=000x000] [/img]

to adjust their size/dimension.

That I am thankful to Narcotic for a great and helpful tip.

Reputation/karma are used in some forums as plugin, so I just fooled around.

1. If you decide to use images from the net, use highest quality possible. Trick: get the biggest resolution possible, cut out the area ,or take the whole image, and resize it to your signature size.
2. Do not distort images, always keep the aspect ratio. Distorted image in the sig- indication of a 12 year old LoLwut. If you can not keep the aspect ratio and use it in your creation, then look for another image to work with.

3. Avoid pixelated edges. Use high quality images, cut out with pen tool, use edge blur and outer glow to soften up edges.

4. By all means avoid gheyness like this:

5. Do not use outer glow like you used it here:

She appears to be out of the picture. If you are to use a glow like that, use the same color as BG, so image would somewhat blend in.
6. Learn how to blend images together. Learn how to blend spaceship into the space, so the ship does not appear to be just floating or copy/pasted into the scene.

7. Avoid color mistakes

Do not put similar colors on each other. It is like putting WHITE ON WHITE.
8. Practice composition. Use 1/3rd rule, experiment with composition first, then brush it up with special effects, etc.
9. Learn how to make your own custom renders. Isometric WIKI renders are too generic and tarded looking.

The sharper the image the more up-close your brain thinks it is.... use it to your advantage. Also light source is very important to create an illusion of a single space-scape or cityscape. For example my siggy has around 15 layers though I think the illusion of one setting is pretty decent.

Overall I have to say quite nice work.
