It's nothing too exciting, and im kinda new to photoshop, but i wanted something to put into my signature. what do you think?

I'm no designer, but you really need to work on the typography, at the moment it overlaps and really doesn't integrate with the image, perhaps play with different fonts and colours. Maybe rescale down the image so it doesn't cut off the top of the wings too?

There. I edited the text some and moved the dragon around a bit. how does it look now?

Make the background less boring, right now it is just way too simple. The render also needs blended with the background rather than just sitting on top of it. Also take the bevel and emboss off of everything, it is an ugly effect. The text also could use blended. Keep trying, you will be good in no time.

Personally, I think it is very nice, especially for a first try but I agree that the background is a little to plain and the writing is a little hard to see. Nice job though.

It's nice and the stock used is a good one but its too boring and the colors clash. Firstly, i would get rid of the bevel and work a little more on the background. Try using brushes, smudging, blurring, more brushing, filters, effects etc. Also, the render could do with some more work. Right now, its just a plain old boring stock of a dragon with bevelled edges. You want it to interact and blend with the background. You could make it work with the background by duplicating it and using smudge brushes to mess with the edges, use the rubber to erase anything you've done to the focal and put it on the layer style that looks best or you could make a layer on top of the stock and use whatever brushes used in the bg to make it look like it overlaps This also helps create flow. Direction. Also, on this dragon, the lighting is coming from the top left. This means that the colors of the brushwork in the top left corner is going to be slightly paler than the rest. One last thing is that once you have done all this, it is always best to make a layer mask for color adjustments. This could be a color balance, photo filter, gradient map... etc. This just lets you make sure that your colors are easy on the eyes and not too contrasting.
If this is your first sig, though, i think you should scrap what I've just said and just follow a tutorial

I don't know if i made it better or worse :/

i think i may have made it worse, not sure

I can't get it to blend in with the background. how do i do that?

Follow a sig tutorial.
