Thanks guys, I am starting to work on my lighting, that and creating a good bg were tough for me. Also I've done a load of hockey sigs and for some reason they are much harder to do then any other sigs.
Anything with that color green incorporated looks pretty nasty. My only gripe is too much of that liquid/sprite stock over your focal point...but it doesn't kill it.
Awesome job on the background. The left of the sig being open doesn't look bad b/c you've got such a nice flow going on with the bg.
