    Okay, I know I can seperately do all of them. In fact, I will.

    1: Pretty simple, it's just Fox filled in with some white and one of the backgrounds you can choose from GIMP. Along with some silvery flashy stuff. I would suggest try making your own unique backgrounds, etc, experiment with different brushes and effects.

    2: Once again, the background and effects are pretty simple to accomplish. And the text isn't so flowy, search through all the different types of fonts you have, and maybe even download more of them.. Your render is very blurry, I wouldn't suggest doing that. Try blending in your render more with the background, it'll help you.

    3: I'm starting to get redundant about the backgrounds thing. Skip that, even though it's still present in this one. It's okay, but the yellow flashy lines draw the attention away from the render. The text is very glowy, a would suggest that you do that on a darker background.

    4: It seems like a v2 of the one before it. The main effect is very...much, I have no other way to explain it. All those pointing things seem to be directing where you're looking towards the center, where yellow lines are (and half of Axel's face). I would suggest centering your render, or at least put it closer to the center. The text is kinda hard to see when it's over the yellow, but darkening the color will make it hard to see on the pointy lines.

    5: This one is pretty nice. Except that your render is far off to the right, and you're now looking at all those wicked-looking lines instead of your main focus: the render XD. Centering it would make it much better, and if you blended it in more, it would help too.

    6: Pretty thweet. The biggest thing I see wrong in this is the text. The font doesn't flow so well, and the color at one point is hard to see on the really white parts.

    7: Pretty basic background, with some lines and Sora and Kairi off to the side. This isn't so nice in my opinion, mostly because it lacks a lot of detail. The text as well seems to be a bit...low quality? It might be the font, I'm not so sure.

    8: Errm, okay. This one is.....interesting. The colors aren't matching too well. This mismatch of colors doesn't make it so pleasent to look like. Try to find opposite/contrasting colors, they go well together. Your text is a bit too blurry is well, maybe sharpening it some more would help. The render of Cloud....centering it would make it more visible, because off there on the side it seems more invisible.

    9: XD This one is pretty cool to look at. It would be awesome with a bit more......varying of effects. And those pointy things, yeah, they're pointing at the render, but it's also very distracting with that much going on just the sides.

    10: Whew, I'm getting tired from typing all this. Okay, what I see here is an enlarged render that got too pixel-y. I don't really know how to fix that XD. The background doesn't go so well with the render, the thing I said before about colors might help you in that. The random red glow at the top is just...well....random.

    11: I want to start with the render here. I would suggest not making it so transparent. And try centering the head more, because right now your looking at the crotch in the center XD.

    12: You already told me that only 2 of those were gradient lines, and I believe you. There's nothing much I can say about this that I won't say later. This also shows a small bit of the element of space, the lines smaller in the back make it seem like they are farther. I really like that.

    13: This is pretty nice, but again, the colors don't seem to be matching so well, and with all the different colors that don't match, it gets you kinda dizzy/confused while looking at it.

    14: This one is simple, really. And it seems really....flat. I don't know how to express myself properly, but it's not like one of those tags where you feel like you can tear out the first layer and see what's underneath it. The red text against the blue background also ruins it, because personally the combination of red and blue isn't so calming on the eyes.

    15: I personally like this one a lot, because of the colors. XD Avatars are nice when they're like this.

    16: Hmmm...the odd thing about this, is that you put the text in the center and the renders on the side. The opposite of what most people do. The render to the left is kinda invisible in the face, the gradient lines are ruining it. The one on the right seems.....alone. That sense of isolation might be emphasis, but with the coloring and un-blendy-like feel of it, it doesn't work so well as emphasis.

    I didn't look at the last two, just to let you know.

    Okay, overall, I suggest that you make your own backgrounds from now on. That seems to help with the originality in your future tags. As for the colors. Contrasting/opposite colors go really well together, and I would suggest finding a color wheel on the internet, or even anywhere else, and using that to help you with coloration. Centering your render (not just in general, but even where it matters, like the face) is also important, because that's supposed to be the center of attention. Blending it in would help, it seems more like you made a background/used a pattern from GIMP to make one, copy/paste the render in, add text, then leave it. That's all it seems to be. Go layer by layer and take time into tags, then it will come out bootiful.

    I apologize if I was a little harsh through those 16 mini-reviews, I'm just saying it as I see it (as is appropriate as well XD). I hope my overall review helped too.

    About the background thing, I like to start off with a plain basic background, with nothing on it, then work from there. Makes it seem...cleaner, if I was to say it. Which I did XD

    Sorry, I meant as in just 1 basic color. That's how I start off at least. Hope I helped.

    Pretty much all of your sigs lack serious composition.

    Work on integrating your stocks into the focal more. Brushes, smudging, all that stuff.
