It's getting there. It's screaming "I want to be fierce!" Firstly, sharpen Ansem and the effects up. I personally like the oversharpened look, but this is just plain blurry. >_> Secondly, text is failsome. It would go good if this was a really busy tag, but not on here. Try going for something more simple. Smudge Ansem in a little more and you've got a hawt tag.
I think it's cool. The mist like stuff behind Ansem sorta looks like the 'End of the World' logo from kingdom hearts I. I don't know if you were trying to do that, but it seems 'fitting' to him.
Cnc on yours if you cnc on mine. Too much space out. Try to add something all over the sides. Don't use brushes. Try...soft brushing on different modes. Some good quality white grunge brushes coming down to up in ansem's coloumn would be a plus. Your getting there dude. Your improving a hell lot.
This is on the redone version: Well, I like the text font and colors, they suit Ansem. I like what you've done with the background, but the background color just doesn't have the right "feel" for an Ansem sig, you know what I mean? Everyting else considered, it's a pretty rad sig.
Overly sharpened and burned. Notice the reds by the left side of his head. I dont have a suggestion to fix it, maybe a low opacity bg color brush, but it looks too sharpened. Aside from that, I really like it. The text works and so does the brushing.
