I think I'm not in my slump no more thank god!

Cnc plz?

 

I'd say that you over killed the thing in saturated effects.
The effects shouldn't be so scattered, and should surround your focal.
The armor on the stock is either choppy, or over sharpened. The duplication on the left should be tilted a bit to make the tag look more symmetrical.

The little rainbow effects should either be intensified, or should be scrapped and replaced with rusted oranges, forest greens, and creams and set to a lighter opacity, rather than just saturated or burned. The huge, random black dashes give it some direction, but they're too alarming to the eye.

To create smoother effects to fit better with this style, I'd strongly suggest to just create duplications of him, set them behind him, and practice smudging and distorting them until the sig in general...looks balanced rather than a whirlwind of clustered effects.

The text should also be sharpened.
As a whole, I could see what you were trying to do, but the execution was too messy.

 

Yeah, I'm starting to get back to my old sig making ways, but looks like I still have to practice lol

 

This is very well done. I don't think there is anything that you can possibly do to make it even better. No criticism here, so 10/10.

 

Ahahah jesus christ my eyes. Ow.
