   A good sig, but there's a lot going on in it. The render is easy to overlook due to its blending with the C4D's around it.

   This is a cool, colourful and unique signature, but it's missing something. At the moment it doesn't feel like a signature, but just a piece of art that's been resized. You should add some text and a border for it to look more complete, that's about it.

   This is very bright considering the focal image is almost entirely white. The text that says "A Perfect Dog" is slightly difficult to read as it is partially overlaid onto white. Cloud him/herself is blended a little too much and it looks like it has been brushed over which is an instant no-no for common-style sigs. My personal opinion is that you worked reasonably well with the render you used, but in future it would be wiser to choose something more flexible.

   This initially looks quite plain as a sig but I like the brushed metal feel of the background - effective use of the wind filter if that's what it was. Just make sure to keep everything in proportion - the wires(?) to the sides of the name tag aren't aligned perfectly with each other and it looks like they go off at odd angles rather than opposites of each other. And of course try adding a border.

   The text is quite plain and the top and bottom overlaid white borders are a bit cliché, but overall, another nice Neo sig.

   First and foremost, dispose of that green band on the left. "The colour matching looks like it was forced" according to one person (but I don't know what that means, help me out here?). And this is way too bright on the right side. The lighting should look like it's coming from behind Master Chief (as I'm assuming that's where the source is) but currently everything up front looks to be similar brightness. Try burning some shadows into Master Chief and bits of the left side of the sig to make it more realistic, impressive, and to make Master Chief moreso the focal point.

   Very interesting colouring - the more I look at it the more I like it. Cool and unique effects.

   Very busy looking but an impressive background. Render should be bigger if possible, and text needs a bit of work.

Sorry that those last couple of comments are brief; my nose just started bleeding (due to constant blowing of it all day) so I have to go and take care of that now. *sigh*

What was the maximum number of wins prior to week 100?

If anyone is interested, I just released the video tutorial to make this signature, it's actually one of the easiest signatures I've ever made o.O It's in Graphics Central.

Thanks judges ^^
